Magaly Ponce: Video Works

Stairwell Gallery

Tuesday, March 25 * Sunday, June 1, 2008

Video works by Magaly Ponce are inspired by a variety of sources and

may be seen as a cross section of the poetic and the political. The

artist uses her own body, experiences, memories, first- person narration

and metaphoric language to disclose the subject she chooses to present

in all its complexity. While the imagery most often combines material

made by the artist and material appropriated from various sources, for

Ponce the audio and animation as well as digital and analogue editing

are all equally important components in producing her video works. The

screening of Ponce’s video works is a part of Videos in Progress series.
