Site Visit installation
Artist and filmmaker Ryan Trecartin is a bit of an art world darling. He rose to “fame” mostly by posting his videos to YouTube and as his rep grew, he was collected by art star-maker & collector Charles Saatchi. He is represented by Andrea Rosen, who happens to be my next door neighbor, and he shows with Regen Projects in LA. Now, as part of Berlin Art Week, which kicked off this month, he’s exhibiting “Site Visit,” a multi-channel video piece featuring drag queens and monsters. His videos sample the idea of reality TV with much more boiling just below the surface. They are hard to describe. In the video below, a guy jumps out of a locker to talk about his 5 boyfriends, among other things. In his installations there are 5-6 videos playing all at once and you can put on headphones for each. It’s insane. Just watch.
