Marshall McLuhan Salon

Exhibition Opening: The Jeremy Bailey Collection'

Date: 1 Feb, 20:00 - 22:00

Address: Marshall McLuhan Salon, Embassy of Canada, Ebertstr. 14, 10117 Berlin

The exhibition The Jeremy Bailey Collection with works by Jeremy Bailey opens directly after the McLuhan Lecture. The exhibition is co-presented by transmediale 2012 and the Marshall McLuhan Salon of the Embassy of Canada.

Jeremy Bailey (Toronto, 1979) is a new media, video and performance artist whose work is often confidently self-deprecating in offering hilarious parodies of new media vocabularies (Marisa Olson, Rhizome). This exhibition marks Bailey's first in Berlin and will include recent examples of many of his signature video works and ephemera, including Public Sculpture, VideoPaint, Colours of the Spectrum and Video Terraform Dance Party. In these works Bailey's "famous new media artist" persona demonstrates custom software of his own design. This software typically incorporates gestural interfaces and often augments reality in a way that Bailey  satirically proposes makes us "much much more creative". Bailey applies his creative panache to help solve a diverse set of problems, from fascist oppression to city planning.
