Cinema Remixed and Reloaded
Black Women and the Moving Image Since 1970
Andrea Barnwell Brownlee and Valerie Cassel Oliver
This is a truly wonderful book. I had the chance to exhibit and have filmwork recognized in this publication. This was a truly amazing exhibition of contemporary video /film work done by women of the African Diaspora.

Installation Art: Concepts in Video Installation & Immersive Environments – Marguerite Harris
Marguerite Harris.
Recently, installation art has begun to engage narrative and conceptual language. In my own video installation work, I am interested in using recent technologies, including video, DVD and virtual space. Narratives here include personal constructed histories as well as the experience that the viewer brings to the installation, ultimately completing the sculpture. Much of my own work focuses on the idea of the body in time and space as well as on the use of virtual immersive technologies relating to video and computer graphing. These are the many concepts and narratives that I have explored in video and computer installation. Through the use of these processes, I hope to better understand the dialogue between art, culture and technocratic civilization. |
Cinema Differents: Paris, France 2007
I had the wonderful opportunity to travel to Paris, France in 2007 and spend time there with my other talented filmmaker and videographer colleagues. I am always inspired by the incredible creativity in the artistic community there.
We were interviewed at the Cinema Differents Festival by the news program La Telelibre. There is an online video file documentation of the program. Special thanks to all my French, Parisian colleagues.
Viva La France!

Journal Entry
It’s been a while since writing on this blog page. This isn’t easy to keep up with writing. I’ve been busy preparing for the Spelman show. Also, trying to keep up with the collective in Paris. Submitted work for the show there.
Conceptual Photos
The photo pieces and experimental films have me thinking of systems of logic and how forms of logic and systems of thought predispose us to particular forms of perception. It is forms of logic and patterns of thinking within this logical system of thought that create the perception of the film plane as a flat space which runs in linear time as opposed to a space with parallel vision. Also, the creation of montage and timed sequences within the filmic frame.
Since the Spelman show, I’ve thought of this in relation to issues of race and gender as well. In 4 black and white photos, the concept or notion of color only exists in relation to it’s polar opposite. There can be no black unless there is white and so on within the color scale. Each color exists in relation to it’s other. In this symbolic construction of language and perception, each color frame defines the next scale of perception.
