Fifty years later, artist Mary Enoch Elizabeth Baxter, who gave birth in prison 15 years ago, finds herself banding together with an eclectic group of activists, politicians, artists, corrections officers and Faith Ringgold herself to free the artwork with the ultimate goal of freeing the women.

NEW YORK, NY.- Postmasters announced the Whitney Museum of American Art's recent acquisition of the seminal artwork Horror Chase (2002), by Jennifer and Kevin McCoy. The McCoys have always been pioneers in digital art with an added flair for object making. Given the recent explosion of interest in generative art, of note is that Horror Chase may be one of the first examples of algorithmically created cinematic footage - a software/hardware combination of object and projection. Horror Chase is based on the climactic chase sequence from Sam Raimi's Evil Dead II. The artists re-enact the scene on a specially designed stage set. Each shot in the sequence is individually digitized. Custom computer software selects sequences at random, playing them back in a seamless but continuously variable way, changing the speed and direction of play. The images are projected at cinematic scale and the computer hardware is installed in a black briefcase, which forms part of the installation. Jennifer and Kevin ...

The exhibition is accompanied by an interview between the artist and Cédric Fauq, chief curator at CAPC, Bordeaux. Kevin Rouillard explores here the horizon line well beyond its conventional definition presenting it as a visual limit, one where the distance between sky and earth has become so small that these two parts seem to merge together. By investing the gallery walls, the artist uses this line, both as an element of formal vocabulary, specific to each work, but also as a visual tool capable of redefining our perception of the architecture where the works are hung.
