Plus Gallery's current exhibition of new works by Gabriel Liston features a short video profile of the artist by New York Filmmaker Jesse R. Fisher. It is an impressive, thoughtfully constructed film in it's own right and an excellent accompaniment to Gabriel's work in the exhibition. We have posted Jesse's film on our youtube site at the following link:
Here's what Jesse has to say about the film: "Gabriel Liston: Take That and Stand By for Trouble is a short documentary born out of my interactions with the artist during the last weeks of his residence at the New American Art Union in May 2010. In that residence, Liston moved his painting studio into the gallery and invited visitors to peruse his notebooks, to observe him at work in the gallery, and to engage with him in conversation. Similarly, Take That... is both a window into the artist's past and his present (now past). It sketches the history to that point of Liston's own blend of work and life, and offers evidence as to how each one informs the other."
Jesse R. Fisher is a filmmaker and film and video editor based in Brooklyn, NY. As a director, his work is generally situated around relationships, particularly those between humans and the spaces that they inhabit. As an editor, his work has shown both in the US and abroad. He is currently in production on a short documentary about folks who are interested in the New Jersey Meadowlands.
