Naomie Kremer's paintings already possess a strong sense of motion, so it seems like a natural development that the Bay Areabased artist would have begun to create work in animation. Her unusual technique uses animation to offer new perspective on her paintings.
The San Jose Institute of Contemporary Art presents the first comprehensive look at Kremer's work of the past 12 years with "Keeping Time: Naomie Kremer Works 19922004." The exhibit opens on March 25 in downtown San Jose.
Kremer, who began working with animation in 2000, uses video animation to deconstruct her paintings, in a sense, revealing many layers of texture, color and other artistic elements rarely viewed individually. The animation is projected on the full length of one or more walls to give the viewer a sense of interaction, and of literally being inside the painting.
"Keeping Time" will feature Kremer's video animations, a number of her large-scale paintings, as well as a room-size video projection.
"Keeping Time: Naomie Kremer Works 19922004" runs March 25May 21 at the San Jose Institute of Contemporary Art, 451 S. First St., San Jose. An opening reception will be held March 25, 6 p.m.8 p.m. For more information, call 408.283.8155 or see www.sjica.org.
