Seattle Art Museum will run an exhibition named 'Nicolas Provost: Selected Works' from September 1, 2009 to March 31, 2010, at SAM Ketcham Forum Gallery.
The Seattle Art Museum is the first U.S. museum to survey the work of Belgian filmmaker Nicolas Provost. This installation comprises five video works, showing the range of approaches Provost has brought to his filmmaking since 2003.
Provost has what could be seen as a 21st-century "do-it-yourself" approach to making video, often appropriating found footage and editing it extensively with commercial editing software to make radically new and exciting imagery.
While the end product is often grandiose, sweeping and emotionally charged, there is a low-budget ethos behind the work that gives hope to aspiring filmmakers.
