Fall 2007 – Spring 2008
“Both individually and in collaboration, Sandra Gibson and Luis Recoder are creating some of the most innovative and engaging light works of the present time. I hesitate to say ‘films’, since their work, though it is grounded in an understanding and application of celluloid, goes beyond a general understanding of what film is, taking into consideration the architecture and circumstances of the performance / viewing situation and the physical and emotional presence of light itself. From the inventive ways that they create images on the film strip to the use of multiple projection that often incorporates live performance, Gibson and Recoder are two of the most vital young artists working in the field of ‘expanded cinema’.” Mark Webber, The Times BFI London Film Festival.Sandra Gibson and Luis Recoder have screened their work at the Whitney Museum of American Art (NY), Anthology Film Archives (NY), The Kitchen (NY), Ballroom Marfa (Marfa), Cinema Project (Portland), Cal Arts (Valencia), Images Festival (Toronto), Institute for Contemporary Art (London), International Film Festival Rotterdam (The Netherlands), Palais des Beaux-Arts (Brussels), La Casa Encendida (Madrid), Museu do Chiado (Lisbon), RIXC (Latvia), Image Forum (Tokyo). Recoder and Gibson are currently visiting faculty for the Film Studies Program at the University of Colorado @ Boulder.
