Glen Fogel's work constructs narratives from a combination of personal experience and politically charged issues using video, installation, sculpture, and photography.
Filmed in extreme closeup and high definition, Fogel exploits the meticulous display style of The Home Shopping Network.
The rings rotate, freely floating in unarticulated space while a sequence of colored gels form the background, flooding the gallery with ambient hues.
The video is interrupted intermittently when an incoming ‘text message’ sound signals fluorescent lights to switch on in the gallery, replacing and at times obliterating the images.
[3] Fogel is currently the Technical Director and a faculty member at The Milton Avery Graduate School of the Arts at Bard College (Annandale-On-Hudson, NY).
