Conflation: Living Above the Store

A collaborative video installation by Mark Campbell, Peter Rose, and Anthony Angelicola that offers a complex, richly metaphoric reflection on the meanings of the urban/suburban environment. Campbell has built an elaborate architectural model that both mocks and celebrates suburban topography. Rose enclads this structure with a suite of video images that engage the work in a surprising variety of ways, counterpointing a sound score by Angelicola that offers a subtle and nuanced paeon to the ambient sonics of the city.

  • Since 1968 Peter Rose has made over thirty films, tapes, performances and installations. Many of the early works raise intriguing questions about the nature of time, space, light, and perception and draw upon Rose's background in mathematics and on the influence of structuralist filmmakers. He subsequently became interested in language as a subject and in video as a medium and generated a substantial body of work that played with the feel and form of sense, concrete texts, political satire, oddball performance, and a kind of intellectual comedy.
