Back in October of last year I had the pleasure of working on the Untitled performance with my friend and fellow Laurentian, Reid Brechner. It was my second time creating a performance with Reid and I certainly hope there are more opportunities to work together in the future! He recently posted the time-lapse video of the performance on his website and I figured it would be a great opportunity to share some of his art with you. To revisit the video or to see some of Reid's other amazing work be sure to check out his website here!
Here's a preview of his site:

"The potential for new meaning and re-contextualization out of contradiction is the focus of my art. As a student of art history, I have always been most interested in how the same meaning can be transformed to serve dual purposes. Hence, when I began my studio practice, I was eager to explore the idea of duality, specifically by bringing together my two academic fields, mathematics and art. The problem that this presented, however, was the inescapable contradiction of trying visually to represent something which is purely conceptual. My art has developed over time to embrace this contradiction and draw on this duality to create tension in my work." ~Reid Brechner |
