PROGRAM INCLUDES

Motion At A Distance by Lindsay Packer and Andrew Yong Hoon Lee
This stop-motion animation by Lindsay Packer with sound by Andrew Yong Hoon Lee brings Packer’s light-based installation and performance work into film. Color finds ephemeral form in soundspace. Shadow shapes emerge, interact and recede as luminous, temporary geometries call into question the divisions between analog and digital ways of seeing and believing. Lee's composition uses sound as material and is pushed and pulled much like paint on a canvas to create abstract textures that evoke mood and memory. MOTION AT A DISTANCE was an official selection of the 2020 Ann Arbor Film Festival, the 2019 New Orleans Film Festival, 2019 Eyeworks Festival of Experimental Animation among others. The recipient of a 2019 Media Arts Assistance Fund (MAAF) Grant from NYSCA in partnership with Wave Farm, MOTION AT A DISTANCE was also awarded Best Original Score at the 2019 Kinoskop International Analog Film Festival, Belgrade, Serbia. - LP & AL.

Lindsay Packer plays with the call and response of color and light, form and site in performance, moving imagery and architectonic interventions. With a spontaneous spirit and non-hierarchical approach to materials and process, she connects the visual language of painting to the kineticism of early cinema. A Fulbright Fellow to India in Installation Art and two-time Artist-in-Residence at the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation, Packer received a BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design and an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She was awarded a 2019 NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowship in Architecture/Environmental Structures/Design for her work across disciplines and was a 2019 Artist-in-Residence at ISSUE Project Room (Brooklyn, NY). Her work is featured this summer in Issue #6 of Melanie Maar’s Line Death Dance Newsletter. Packer lives and works in Brooklyn.

The work of Andrew Yong Hoon Lee examines sensory perceptions through the use of language, experience and space. Exploring the associations between sound, surface and light his work creates a situational encounter that exists within a specific moment that may not materialize again beyond that particular time and space. Lee’s practice frequently uses the lexicon of music to articulate circumstances that relate to other fields of knowledge and will apply musicality to a drawing or an installation to expand on experiences of different modalities. The invisibility and uncertainty of sound is a common feature in Lee’s practice and is a strategy that he uses to create moments of psychological subjectivity by encouraging imaginative supplementation. Andrew is a Master of Fine Arts Candidate at The Milton Avery Graduate School of the Arts at Bard College and is based in Brooklyn, NY..
