For February's Monthly Film Series, New York based artist Martha Colburn will present
a selection of new and old works as well as an opportunity for questions following
the screenings. Born in Pennsylvania in 1971, Colburn works in a variety of media
including installation, painting, and printmaking in addition to being a self-taught
filmmaker. Using this diverse background of techniques, she has completed over 40
films since 1994 with successive screenings at Sundance, Rotterdam, and New York
Film Festivals and was also featured in the Fortnight of New Directors at Cannes
Film Festival 2005.
Colburn's work has shown in the 2006 Whitney Biennial, Centre Pompidou, Andy Warhol
Museum, Museum of Modern Art (NY), P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center, Musee d'Art Moderne
et Contemporain de Strasbourg France, Museum of Contemporary Art Lyon France, and
Serpentine Gallery, London. Since 2004, she has traveled between Holland and New
York and is currently represented by the James Cohan Gallery, NY.
Featured above are stills from the video Triumph of the Wild (2008), one
of the artists more recent works and a play on the title of Lina Riefenstahl's Nazi
propaganda film Triumph of the Will, is a chronological film beginning with
the American Revolution and ending with World War II. An animated short, Triumph
of the Wild suggests that our senseless dominance of weapons and destructive
violence amounts to impotence in the face of nature.
