in collaboration with Women’s Voices Now

Part 1: December 22 - January 6, 2011

Part 2: January 6 - 15, 2011 - Opening Reception: January 6, 6 - 9 pm

Third Eye/I is an exhibition of recent video work and photography. The title tropes the cinematic parlance for the camera, known as “third eye,” with the notion of third space articulated by geographer Edward Soja and theorist Homhi Bhaba. The video works are idiosyncratically installed using monitors and projectors, which envelop White Box’s entire lower floor exhibition space.  The viewer walks into a house of mirrors where videos can be watched whether one looks across, down, up, or behind.

Part 1: Recent video works by South Asian artists from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, India, Iran and Pakistan.  Selected works are currently viewable in Women’s Voices Now’s Women’s Voices from the Muslim World: A Short-Film Festival. 
Part 2: Recent experimental video and photographic works by artists from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Canada, Iran, the Netherlands and the United States.

The curators and staff dedicate this exhibition to Iranian filmmaker, Jafar Panahi
