ARTIST STATEMENT
Carrie Dashow is a New York based artist working in the intersection of video,
performance and new media. Through combining and reading space, interaction and
energy with an anthropological, formalist and geomantic slant, she finds deep
and malleable content. Her work often exists in social and collective
situations where it alternates between the possibilities of communication and
the energetic points of interaction. She is engaged in using media to extend
our capabilities rather than give in to the submissive tendencies of this same
media. Treating the subjective as a way to find truth, she has begun to work with
ideas of fact and history in relation to our understanding of space. Much of
her work takes place with groups of people, either people on the street,
communities, relationships and even classes. Using available public tools – a
greeting, an island, building, friend, forest, map, history, camera – the
undercurrents of visible space are examined. With idea and energy as the axis
point, she utilizes multi-disciplinary forms of self-expression from theater,
subversion, painting, songwriting, electronics and video to create tactile,
experiential and more real than real performances and videos. The work she
instigates plays with and questions our psychological understanding of reality,
replacing what we see inside out.
