Michele Beck and Jorge Calvo: http://michelebeck.net Michele Beck and Jorge Calvo are multidisciplinary artists working with single channel video, installation, sound and performance. They met in New York City in December 1998 and have been working together ever since. Beck and Calvo's work de-constructs the human psyche to some of its most primitive components and presents broken down forms of language, archaic sounds, emotional experiences, thoughts and psychological processes. The single channel videos, installations and performances function much like poems, choosing the minimum of materials in order to articulate internal spaces where the unconscious has free rein, and where primitive trauma is worked through, re-created and mastered. The result is an artistic work that is frightening, disconcerting, disorienting and a truly visceral eye-opening experience to behold.
