PALS
PALS | Actual Size | Los Angeles, CA | January 3rd - February 5th, 2011
Pals or Pals for Life / Life for Pals, a teleplay about the dialectics of friendship under the strain of artistic endeavor. On January 15th the gallery will host a premiere of the approximately 34-minute video piece, which was shot principally in January 2011 at the Actual Size gallery. Created in the style of a traditional studio audience television program, Pals revels in the angst and emotion of four friends/lovers who must install their respective artworks in the presence of frenemies large and small. Though each character in the film is named after a specific human being, the story implies that these are simple archetypes from a vast universe of narcissistic micro-movements.
Pals features performances by Wilson Chang, Richard Lidinsky, PJ Risse, and Natascha Snellman, with cinematography by Tyler Jamison and original theme music composed by Wilson Chang.
