Happenings

Morgen Christie creates public video art screenings that focus on the history of aging and life span. Not only in a century change duration, but also a 15-minute light change duration. The relationship of time to memory is incredibly important to her. She hopes to cement the neighborhood to its subconscious through the mythology of time.

The structures she projects upon have been here for centuries. Morgen reinstates their history with those of the present by cleansing them with liquid light. She is immortalizing a moment in a few hours at most, depending on the battery of her power bank. Since the projections are so temporary the memory will only be reconciled in the documentation.

Morgen studied Video & Film Arts at Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, MD. Recently, she was a resident artist with the School of Visual Arts in New York City, NY. Her videos have been screened at the Museum of Modern Art's, Pop Rally in New York City, NY, Punto y Raya Television in Barcelona, Spain, Mad Lab Theater in Albuquerque, NM, and The Plastic Club in Philadelphia, PA.

Her video FLOW won 2nd place prize at The Exchange Gallery in Bloomsburg, PA. FLOW was also screened at the Unseen Festival in Denver, CO. Morgen’s work has been shown in Hungary, The Netherlands, Romania, Vietnam, and The United Kingdom.
