2025 January February Exhibition

Vertical Hold exhibition explores film and video in ways that challenge the typical notions of the cinematic timeline. Whether it’s found footage and expired celluloid, analog mixers and titlemakers, or projection mapping, drones and artificial intelligence, each artist in this global survey brings a unique approach and process to their exploration of time-based media. Visitors to either location can expect to find themselves immersed in looping visuals and sounds featuring everything from cowboys and muscle cars, to kinetic head sculptures, cakes and baguettes. Some of it is weird, most of it is beautiful, but all of it will have you thinking about film, video and motion pictures in a very different way. Vertical Hold is curated by Justin Beckman (Founding Member, PUNCH Projects and Associate Professor of Graphic Design, Central Washington University) and will be on display January 18 – February 22, 2025 at PUNCH Projects in Thorp, WA and January 18 – February 15, 2025  Gallery One in Ellensburg, WA.
