Exhibitions Post Masters by Crystal Z Campbell

October 9-November 3, 2019 Project Space One

  • Crystal Z Campbell will be in residence to work on Post Masters, a film and book project based on research on the US Postal Service and her family’s personal history: both her parents and Campbell have worked for USPS, a quintessential American institution.  At VSW, Campbell will be seeking film and photo references related to the USPS, references to philately, the Philippines, mail art, and the history of distributing images and messages. Archival analog film will be duplicated and transferred to 16mm analog film, which will be manipulated/painted by hand. Campbell will also develop a prototype for an artist book for Post Masters that uses analog mail formats.

     

    Crystal Z Campbell is a multidisciplinary artist & writer of African-American, Filipino, and Chinese descents whose works question the politics of witnessing. Campbell exhibits internationally: ICA Philadelphia, Studio Museum, and SculptureCenter. Honors include: Pollock-Krasner Award, MacDowell, Skowhegan, Rijksakademie, and Whitney. Campbell is a concurrent Drawing Center and Tulsa Artist Fellow.

  • Support for this exhibition came from Max and Marian Farash Foundation, Joy of Giving Something, and the New York State Council on the Arts Visual Arts program.
