Rear Window reinstalled 2013

From the "Ready or Not" exhibition catalog.  Essay written by Shlomit Dror, curator, Newark Museum, 2014  

"The subject of nature and nature itself directly and indirectly in some of the artworks.  Ginger Andro and Chuck Glicksman's "Rear Window" 2013 questions how fluctuations in climate causes humans either to be mesmerized by nature's wonders or held captive and at its mercy.  Their video, a slow-motion documentation of a spring rain shower in Barnegat Bay in New Jersey, is a projected on an old  window the artists appropriated, distorting the projection through the window's grids.  Capturing this moment in nature through physical and conceptual elements, the artists created the illusion that raindrops seen in the video are beating on the windows surface.  The sound component, attacking mantel clock, augments the feeling of anticipation and fear one can experience during a natural weather occurrence.  In this post-Sandy era, these emotions are even more accentuated.  The artists also experiment with aromatherapy, blending a unique scent-a mixture of wood and humidity-reminiscent to viewers of the shore.  The visual component of this work is accompanied by the familiar presence of outdoor mist, which similarly also aims to capture another feeing moment in nature that affected viewers' indoor experience."
