Meshes Video Art with Angela Dufresne

MESHES is a monthly meet-up inviting contemporary video artists to screen their own work alongside video material that informs, inspires, or provides context to their practice. The March iteration of Meshes will feature selections and video works by Brooklyn based artist Angela Dufresne.

Dufresne is a painter, writer, curator, and current painting faculty at Rhode Island School of Design. Her work articulates non-paranoid, porous ways of being in a world fraught by fear, power and possession. Through painting, drawing and performative works, she wields heterotopic narratives that are both non hierarchical and perverse. Probably more often recognized for her contributions to painting, Dufresne produces video works which collage herself (and multiples of herself) singing and playing music covers in her studio, around the house, and out in the landscape. Dufresne has compared her video practice to drawing, as it allows her to skip the process of fully rendering things and to “make associations at a quicker pace than if you were painting.”  Her video practice was also  influenced by the work of her undergraduate professor at Kansas City Institute of Art, Wendy Geller.
