NEW YORK, NY.- Bryce Wolkowitz Gallery is presenting Abstract Document, its fourth exhibition with pioneering electronic artist Jim Campbell. For over twenty years, Campbell has been exploring the medium of light and LED technology in relation to video and sculpture. His career personifies the metamorphosis of film and form into an immersive experience reflective of our digital culture. The ten works in Abstract Document depict one day at a recent political rally, rendered across multiple formats.
Born in 1956, Campbell earned a degree in Electrical Engineering and Mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1978. He has exhibited internationally for over twenty years. Major public commissions have been completed at Madison Square Park, New York, the San Diego International Airport and Dallas Cowboys Stadium.
Widely considered one of the pioneering electronic artists of the twenty-first century, Campbell manipulates LED technology to create video sculptures of pure light. His career has personified the metamorphosis of photography and form into an immersive experience reflective of our digital culture.
Campbell's work is included in numerous public collections including the Museum of Modern Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York and the Museum of Modern Art, San Francisco.
Jim Campbell is currently creating an LED piece for the top of the Salesforce building in San Francisco that, when completed this summer, will be the tallest public sculpture in the country.
