In
the South Street area, Colette Copelands
video installation, "Natures Fingerprint," will be presented
in the window of TLA Video at 517 South Fourth Street.
Colette Copeland's video installation, "Nature's
Fingerprint", presents in an infomercial parody an easy-to-use "product"
for those who --- for various rather practical reasons -- have chosen to
commit suicide. Copeland takes an uncomfortable subject, spins it into something
simultaneously disturbing and humorous. This piece follows a theme evident
in many of Copeland's other works, the inherent mortality and symbolism
of the physical and corporeal.
Copeland holds an MFA in Art Media Studies from Syracuse University and
a BFA from the Pratt Institute. Her work has been seen in numerous solo
and group exhibitions throughout the country; this year she curated an exhibition
at the Delaware Center for Contemporary Art, Body Politic. |
