CCA Kitakyushu Project Gallery presented an exhibition by James Richards who lives and works in London.
Richards used the CCA Project Gallery space as a testing ground for new material collected over proceeding months – showing the fragments and compositions worked on while staying in Kitakyushu.
Gathering from a wide range of sources such as viral web video, stock footage, secondhand videos as well as his own intimate video footage of friends, his editing process is a way bringing out cross connections and associations between materials to form a highly charged personal vocabulary. In this process work is constantly accumulated and manipulated, and Richards’ video programs often incorporate exiting works or re-edit new versions of earlier pieces for each exhibition.
Here editing becomes a process as casual and intuitive as sketching or note making and the exhibition a way of making this process open to the public.
James Richards stayed in CCA Kitakyushu as Professor of Research Program from March 2nd to 30th, 2012.
