"Michael Stickrod addresses the psychology of human ties by cutting to the center of his familial circle.
He uses scanned photographs and found audio to create nearly abstract sequences embedded between
incising confessions and footage of his family. The videos on view take his mother and father as his subject matter,
painting a landscape of Middle America that oscillates between bleak and hopeful" (New Museum website).
Stickrod says of his own work, "Shooting scenes at genuine locations, I play with the use of sound by overlaying recorded conversations, or edited monologues, with sound drawn from the environment in which the video recording occurred. Often these layers of sound merge with homemade soundtracks, found audio and visual footage, scanned objects and photographs. Despite the incongruity of the pieces that make up my work, the final product feels surprisingly organic, like the pieces belonged together from the start."
Born in 1978 and based in New Haven CT, Stickrod's recent exhibitions include: Technically Sweet at Participant Inc./ Anthology Film Archives, New York, NY and Overgaden, Copenhagen, Denmark, 2008; Les Amis de mes amis…, VF Galerie, Marseille, France 2007; My Backyard, Newman Popiashvili, New York, NY, 2007, Video Pleasures of the East: Worth Ryder Gallery, UC Berkeley, CA 2005, Community Theater, Artspace Annex, New Haven, CT, 2005. He was also a recipient of the 2008 Altoids Award and exhibited his work accordingly at the New Museum in New York in September 2008.
