Žilvinas Kempinas' work at the BALTIC in Newcastle
5-14 March, 2010. BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art presents a work by Lithuanian-born, New York-based artist Žilvinas Kempinas. His unique installations often use unspooled videotape and electric fans to conjure transfixing visual conundrums such as Flying Tape, which consisted of a vast loop of videotape suspended in mid-air upon the currents from a circle of fans; and White Noise a monumental kinetic screen of vibrating videotape. Kempinas represented Lithuania at the 53rd Venice Biennale, 2009.
