Art Museum Features Work By Video Installation Artist Pierre Huyghe
In Conjunction With 2003 Virginia Film Festival September 29, 2003 -- WHAT:
Pierre Huyghe: “Third Memory” WHEN: Oct. 21 – Nov. 30 WHERE: University of Virginia Art Museum The University of Virginia Art Museum presents Huyghe’s three-part installation “Third Memory,” 1999, which takes as its point of departure a 1972 bank robbery committed by John Woytowicz in Brooklyn; three years later the crime became the subject of Sidney Lumet’s film “Dog Day Afternoon,” starring Al Pacino. Huyghe tracked down Woytowicz and asked him to retell the story. Using a two-channel video projection, a television interview, and posters, Huyghe builds from a “first memory” of the original crime to a “second memory” with the film’s recreation of that crime, to arrive at a “third memory,” a rich blurring of the documented and the imagined. “Third Memory” is presented courtesy of the Marian Goodman Gallery, which represents the artist. The exhibition, which is made possible with Arts$ and the Arts Enhancement Fund, is co-sponsored by the Virginia Film Festival and serves as a focal point of its 2003 theme “$.” The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday, 1 to 5 p.m. Limited parking is available behind the museum.
