BRIAN LUND:
FILM SCRIPTS
Brian Lund exhibits drawings translating motion picture editing systems into abstract compositions. Using his DVD player and laptop, he creates an archive of edit cut lists, notes and film-still sketches that document specifics within a production. He then transcribes the characters and events present in each shot to his drawings as a series of dots, shapes, lines, dashes, and other marks.
Lund says, “This synthesis of a highly involved drawing practice with cinematic exploration allows me to better recognize the portrayal of problematic conflicts, behaviors and situations inherent in the film sources themselves. Ultimately, I’d like my work to function as a dynamic place in which to examine the variety of ways in how particular social and cultural issues of our time are distributed to a contemporary American public.”
