Tim White-Sobieski

November 02, 2023

Tim White-Sobieski is a video and installation artist based in New York and Berlin. He was educated as an architect and dedicated himself to visual art and filmmaking, exploring the fields of painting, sculpture, photography, video, video installations and light installations throughout his career. He began showing in New York in the early 1990s with his "Blue Paintings."[1] Emphasis on the role of the subconscious in his paintings had affinities with visual abstractionism and literary existentialism.

Life and career edit

Tim White-Sobieski was born in Warsaw, Poland in 1961[3] and emigrated to the United States in the early 1990s. He attended New York University and Parsons School of Design before embarking on a career in art.

Analysis of work edit

Much of his work draws from literary work that has inspired the artist, and he has often featured icons of American literature in his installations.[4] Writers such as Walt Whitman, John Steinbeck, John Updike, Kurt Vonnegut, J.D. Salinger, William Faulkner, and Robert Penn Warren all have a permanent presence in Tim White-Sobieski’s oeuvre.[5]

Music and sound in the projects edit

Musically, White-Sobieski composes most of his own film and video soundtracks,[6] but also incorporates the work of his contemporaries such as Brian Eno, David Byrne, Robert Fripp, Pierre Schaeffer, Pierre Boulez, and Steve Reich, as well as classical masters such as Purcell, Pergolesi, and Bach.

Important art commissions edit

White-Sobieski has been commissioned by LVMH multiple times,[7] and in 2005, was invited to create an artwork for the new Louis Vuitton Flagship Store on Champs-Elysses in Paris alongside artists James Turrell and Olafur Eliasson.[8][9] The project consisted of a 24-meter programmed fiber-optics video wall. Another colossal video wall was installed at the Petit Palais for the celebration of the launch. This was a unique cooperation of the three artists.[10] In 2006, the Louis Vuitton Company invited Tim White-Sobieski back to participate in an exhibition entitled "Icons", an interpretation of the iconic logo-bags.[11] Other artists included Marc Jacobs, Zaha Hadid, Ugo Rondinone, Sylvie Fleury, Shigeru Ban, Robert Wilson and Andrée Putman.

In 2008, White-Sobieski created and engineered the video installation Water and Earth for a video wall with 144 synchronized vertical LCD monitors for Gimpo (Kimpo) Airport in Seoul, Korea. The artist continued developing new methods of controlling video with the purpose of integrating a moving image within architectural interiors and displaying it on any shapes, forms and materials.

Collections edit

The artist’s inventory of video works currently enlists more than 60 titles, with multi-channel synchronized video installations and stand-alone single theatrical presentations. His video, photography, painting, sculpture, and installation work belongs to the collections of Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Madrid, Spain; CGAC Santiago de Compostela, Spain; Denver Art Museum, Domus Artium 2002, Salamanca, Spain; Elgiz Museum of Contemporary Art, Istanbul, Turkey; Museo de Bellas Artes, Santander, Spain; Aena Foundation - FUNDACIÓN AENA, Madrid, Spain;[12][13] Stiftung kunst:raum Sylt Quelle, Germany; Nomas Foundation, Rome, Italy; and Kunstverein Wiesbaden, Germany.

Works edit

Video installations edit

Moving Paintings/Moving Drawings (1993–present) edit

Moving Paintings and Moving Drawings projects were a series of experiments in image animation which were based partially on Lingo scripting language that was used in Macromedia applications. Concomitant with his animation work, the artist became especially interested in the musical architecture of silence of John Cage and in response to Cage's objective to look through sounds and not at them, White-Sobieski created his infinite animations of paintings and drawings as complements to an artwork.[14] White-Sobieski wrote the scripts for programming infinite ways of controlling behavior of shapes, colors and image parameters in a video frame (and in a digital image if not video). The influence of contemporary experimental music has continued to have a great effect White-Sobieski’s work, and composers like Pierre Schaeffer, Pierre Boulez, Steve Reich, Brian Eno, David Byrne, and Robert Fripp have all appeared in his later projects.

One of the most successful experiments in combining Moving Paintings animation principles with real-time video editing/rendering technique was the project "I Repeat Myself When Under Stress," 1999,[15] exhibited in New York, Chicago and Turin. Later, the same methods were developed in hand-rendered films from the Terminal [fr] project. Almost each video frame of the series was hand-drawn, and, when assembled, created semi-abstract moving compositions. These projects were critically acclaimed at the Prague Biennale (2003), Lyon Biennale (2003), and Bucharest Biennale (2004).

Time of Adolescence Series (1998–2006) edit

Confession (2000–2002), Before They Were Beatles (2004) and Sweet Dreams (2002) developed the subjects of genetic memory and the theme of war.[16] The videos aim to assert the postulation that "memory is perhaps genetically transferred from generation to generation."[17] Confession had a multi-channel narrative sequence and examined migrant literary characters which also appeared in Closer to Fall, Awakening, Route 17N, and The Sound and the Fury.

In 2007, Tim White completed a series of large scale photographs and a video titled Awakening and in 2008, as an expansion on the same theme, Route 17 North. The series’ near-repetition rhythm reveals an image of an American youth at the beginning of the 21st century, in the world of post-modern simulacra. Both of the videos and photographic series demonstrate the influence of American literature on the artist. A short (20 min) multi-channel film The Sound and the Fury followed in 2009, named after the first part of Faulkner’s novel. The first version of the film was shown in Barcelona as Seventh Heaven (based on the subtitle of the literary work, April Seventh, 1928). The work exhibited in the US was received as "astounding."[18]

Terminal Series (2000–2005) edit

The Terminal Series consists of a series of videos Terminal by Day (I), Terminal at Night (II), Terminal Dream (III), On the Wing (IV), and Terminal Heart (V)). Terminal (I) originated immediately after the events of September 11 in New York City. The artist's studio was located directly across the street from the WTC and he barely got out in time to escape. The loss of much of his artwork and the possible loss of life had a fundamental impact on his creativity and artistic vision, spawning the Terminal Series.

Between 2004 and 2006, Tim White-Sobieski created several abstract-figurative video compositions: New York City Suite, Vertigo, and Desire among them. The artist continued working in the direction of music-visual synthesis, developing new methods and algorithms to generate color, rhythm and animations based on sound parameters, further developing ideas that were explored in the Moving Paintings projects, using complementing soundtracks by Brian Eno, Robert Fripp's "frippertronics," and experiments of John Cage.

Deconstructed Cities (2005–2014) edit

Between 2005-2014, White-Sobieski created a series of films and images of deconstructed cityscapes, eliminating distinctions between design, painting, photography and architecture (New York City Suite (2005), Deconstructed Cities (2007), London, (2007), Katrina, (2008), and Deconstructed Reality(2009)). The first city-related photo-video project, New York City Suite, was shown in galleries and museums in 2006, as well as ArtMiami 2007.[19] There, the artist not only explored the structures of New York's landscape, the face of the city, in concrete, steel, and glass, but he also offered a psychological portrait of New York City residents he saw in the streets, neither friends nor important personae. Based on images of many metropolitan cities of the world, Deconstructed Reality followed.[20] This project is ongoing and ultimately planned to include images of many global metropolises such as Paris, Madrid, Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Tokyo.

The videos Vertigo (2005) and New York City Suite were created based on similar principles of compositions as in the previous "moving drawings" projects, where the final rendered video composition was digitally assembled from hundreds of video clips and images from the artist's data bank.[21] The projects were subsequently shown at the Contemporary Art Museum Malaga, ARTIUM Centro-Museo Vasco de Arte Contemporáneo, included in the exhibition "En torno a lo Transparente"[22] in coincidence with ARCO Madrid, International Contemporary Art Fair,[23][24] and the LABoral Centro de Arte y Creación Industrial, Gijón, Spain.[25]

Nebulas And My Other Galaxies (2008–2011) edit

Nebulas And My Other Galaxies includes Lighthouse, Cold Forest, Garden of Stones and Light Fiction;[26] Nebulae and Light Circles were shown in Spain,[27] Germany, Austria,[28] England, and Scandinavia;[29] Light Fiction made its US debut at the Kunsthalle Detroit.[30] These installations are composed of LED-based, computer coded infinite light animations of various colors, creating pulsating, glowing nebulas that elicit a feeling of dreaming.[31] In addition, the fiber-optic light projects Lighthouse and Cold Forest incorporated stainless steel compositions[32] and photography, the latter of which was most recently displayed at PalmaPhoto.[33] The projects Light Circles (2008) and Garden of Stones (2009) were based on Seamless Multi-Channel HD Video technology (© Tim White-Sobieski). "Using different light sources (LED, fiber-optics, and video projection) creates a unique visual environment where mandalas are all synchronized and unified by a single soundtrack."[34] Both installations incorporate 16-channel video projections, high-definition synchronized video source, aluminum and stainless steel sculptures, LED-fiber-optics light objects, and light program synchronized with video.

Current edit

Tim White-Sobieski has just finished production on Waiting For Godot – Waiting For God (2014), a full-length feature film and photography project in homage to Samuel Beckett. The project was re-rendered as a 4-channel synchronized video installation for a museum exhibition with soundtrack by the artist and music by Henry Purcell and Giovanni Battista Pergolesi. One Hundred Years of Solitude (Cien años de soledad) after the novel by Gabriel García Márquez is currently in production and is intended to be presented as a series of 12 short films. Exhibitions and art fairs include: Frieze London, FIAC Paris, and 2015 Docks Art Fair, Lyon.[35][36]

the Terminal Series Between 2004 and 2006 Tim White Sobieski created several abstract figurative video compositions New York City Suite Vertigo and Desire among them The artist continued working in the direction of music visual synthesis developing new methods and algorithms to generate color rhythm and animations based on sound parameters further developing ideas that were explored in the Moving Paintings projects using complementing soundtracks by Brian Eno Robert Fripp s frippertronics and experiments of John Cage Deconstructed Cities 2005 2014 edit Between 2005 2014 White Sobieski created a series of films and images of deconstructed cityscapes eliminating distinctions between design painting photography and architecture New York City Suite 2005 Deconstructed Cities 2007 London 2007 Katrina 2008 and Deconstructed Reality 2009 The first city related photo video project New York City Suite was shown in galleries and museums in 2006 as well as ArtMiami 2007 19 There the artist not only explored the structures of New York s landscape the face of the city in concrete steel and glass but he also offered a psychological portrait of New York City residents he saw in the streets neither friends nor important personae Based on images of many metropolitan cities of the world Deconstructed Reality followed 20 This project is ongoing and ultimately planned to include images of many global metropolises such as Paris Madrid Shanghai Hong Kong and Tokyo The videos Vertigo 2005 and New York City Suite were created based on similar principles of compositions as in the previous moving drawings projects where the final rendered video composition was digitally assembled from hundreds of video clips and images from the artist s data bank 21 The projects were subsequently shown at the Contemporary Art Museum Malaga ARTIUM Centro Museo Vasco de Arte Contemporaneo included in the exhibition En torno a lo Transparente 22 in coincidence with ARCO Madrid International Contemporary Art Fair 23 24 and the LABoral Centro de Arte y Creacion Industrial Gijon Spain 25 Nebulas And My Other Galaxies 2008 2011 edit Nebulas And My Other Galaxies includes Lighthouse Cold

optic light projects Lighthouse and Cold Forest incorporated stainless steel compositions 32 and photography the latter of which was most recently displayed at PalmaPhoto 33 The projects Light Circles 2008 and Garden of Stones 2009 were based on Seamless Multi Channel HD Video technology c Tim White Sobieski Using different light sources LED fiber optics and video projection creates a unique visual
