PARTICIPANT INC, in conjunction with Zach Feuer Gallery and Newman Popiashvili Gallery, presents KEEPING BUSY: AN INACCURATE SURVEY OF MICHEL AUDER, a solo exhibition by pioneering video artist Michel Auder. This multi-venue survey will coincide with a weeklong encore screening of The Feature (2008), directed by Auder and Andrew Neel, at Anthology Film Archives in New York; and a rare screening of Van’s Last Performance (1972) at Volume2 in Los Angeles.

Zach Feuer Gallery will exhibit two seminal works — The Games: Olympic Variations (1984) and Rooftops and Other Scenes (1996) — in addition to an installation of recent works by Auder, organized by the artist Kate Levant. Both The Games and Rooftops feature techniques and interests that Auder revisits throughout his career. In The Games, Auder’s aborted trip to the Seattle Olympics initiates his exploration into appropriation from television whereas in Rooftops, Auder, using his camera as a voyeuristic tool, provides intimate portrait of his neighbors.
