Twofold (Goats & Sheep)<\/strong> <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

2-channel video installation
1995\/2022
Edition of fifteen and two artist\u2019s proofs<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Derived from the single-channel video Goats & Sheep<\/em> <\/strong>(created for the limited edition Gary Hill:  Around & About:  a Performative View<\/em>, Paris: \u00c9ditions du Regard, 2001), Twofold (Goats & Sheep)<\/strong><\/em> consists of two identical projections positioned horizontally side-by-side on a wall.  The works use the original text and video source material of the installation Withershins<\/em><\/strong>, 1995, consisting of two simultaneous views of a person signing:  the hands and arms are framed in one and the back of the head and top of the shoulders in the other.  This latter view catches the hands when they refer to the head during signing.  The text, which is written by the artist and \u2018signed\u2019 in the video, was derived from the original matrix of 420 phrases available in the interactive installation Withershins<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Goats & Sheep<\/strong><\/em> and Twofold (Goats & Sheep)<\/strong><\/em>, Hill changed the color image into black-and-white, combined the two projections of the hands and arms and back of the head into a single alternating image which switches when the text references the \u2018head.\u2019 He then recorded his voice and synchronized it to the original signing.  The stereo field is used to double the voice with about a second of delay added to the sound.  This doubling mirrors the hands and numerous references and repetitions heard in the text.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

GARY HILL (n. 1951, Santa Monica, CA) has worked in a wide range of media, including sculpture, sound, video, installation and performance, since the early 1970s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His long-standing work explores a variety of themes ranging from the physicality of language, synaesthesia and perceptual conundrums to ontological space and viewer interactivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exhibitions of his work have been presented at museums and institutions around the world, including solo exhibitions at the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain, Paris; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris; Guggenheim Museum SoHo, New York; Museum f\u00fcr Gegenwartskunst, Basel; Museu d’Art Contemporani, Barcelona; and Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg, among others. Commissions include works for the Science Museum in London and the Seattle Central Public Library in Seattle, Washington, and an installation and performance for the Colosseum and Temple of Venus and Rome in Italy. Hill has received grants from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Rockefeller and Guggenheim Foundations, and has received numerous awards and honours, including the Leone d’Oro Prize for Sculpture at the Venice Biennale (1995), a John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation Fellowship Award (1998), Kurt-Schwitters-Preis (2000) and honorary doctorates from the Academy of Fine Arts in Poznan, Poland (2005) and Cornish College of the Arts, Seattle, WA (2011).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
