Cory Arcangel’s Selected Single Channel Videos is a one-time-only performance that is tailor-made to each venue. Best described as a mixture of his technology-based artworks and stand-up comedy, Arcangel’s wit, personality, and artistic practice make for an engaging experience.

Join Carnegie Museum of Art for this FREE event, steps away from the artist’s new exhibition, Cory Arcangel: Masters. We’ll have a cash bar. Bring a friend and come have a drink with us!

Employing readymade digital technology as his primary medium, New York–based artist Cory Arcangel applies a hacker’s sensibility to a wide range of work that incorporates web, video, sound, performance, and photography. Arcangel’s appropriated source materials—ranging from obsolete video games to YouTube clips, and from Hollywood films to underground music—all become fodder for his visual and sensorial modifications. His artistic pursuits live as witty and informative interventions into contemporary culture at a time when we witness its rapid and frequent obsolescence before our eyes.

This exhibition is curated by Tina Kukielski.
