Description:
‘Stuart Cumberland's videos begin simply and become increasingly complex. In “Name, Age, Date, Time” one person after another is invited to face the camera and recite those facts. Edited into sections - name, age, date - the result is Minimalist in the way Minimalist music was, establishing and breaking its own rhythms as it goes. If Cumberland's idea recalls body-work from the early 70s, this is only one reminder of the re-emergence of the body as a source of and subject for art.’
