LIVE VIDEO

Ogilvy & Mather New York is pleased to announce the opening of Live Video, an exhibition of contemporary video art co-curated by Jun Lee and the founders of the Moving Image Art Fair, Edward Winkleman and Murat Orozobekov.

Live Video will feature work by Broersen & Lukács, Rob Carter, Oskar Dawicki, Jonathan Ehrenberg, Kirsten Geisler, Hisao Ihara, Claudia Hart, Mary Lucier, Jacco Olivier, Hiraki Sawa and Leslie Thornton.

In commenting on the show, Jun Lee said, “Video art has evolved into a unique tool for artists. In the wake of the video art of the past emerges work that has a new relationship to life and to aesthetics. Live Video presents a selection of works that feature technology as it touches life.”

“This is the fifth exhibition curated specifically for our office. It serves as a continuing reminder to our company of the ways in which creativity is forever changing and being expressed,” said Steve Simpson, Chief Creative Officer of Ogilvy & Mather North America.

An opening reception with artists and curators will be held at Ogilvy on Tuesday, October 25 from 6:00 to 8:00 pm. The exhibition will be on display on the gallery walls of The Chocolate Factory (636 11th Avenue, New York City) through Friday, March 30, 2012. Appointments to view the exhibition can be made by request (Tuesday–Friday, 10:00 am to 5:00 pm).
