David Horvitz: Room 129

June 2 – 5, 2011 / Fillip is pleased to present an installation by New York-based artist David Horvitz as part of our participation in the Fair at the Waldorf Hotel, Vancouver, June 2 to 5, 2011.

Horvitz’s project for the Fair will focus on the artist’s ongoing series of Wikipedia photographs—work intended for distribution on the Web-based encyclopedia through their Wiki-Commons server space. First begun as an occasional, ad hoc series and later continued in a more developed manner with the Public Access project (2010), the Wikipedia photographs are recognizable through the juxtaposition of subject matter (e.g., a monument, historical site, or otherwise) and Horvitz’s own body (often only partially visible). The work operates somewhere between self-portraiture and pictorial travelogue—ostensibly illustrating a person or place while also charting the artist’s own idiosyncratic interests through his discreet edits to the Wikipedia knowledge base.

During the length of the installation, David Horvitz will be using Room 129 at the Waldorf Hotel as a base for the creation of a newly commissioned work produced in conjunction with the upcoming release of Fillip 14, in stores July 2011.
