Chloë Bass, THIS IS A FILM (still), 2018

Conceptual artist Chloë Bass takes over our Instagram Live to discuss and present THIS IS A FILM (1.9), featured on BRIC's IGTV. THIS IS A FILM is a lecture performance series exploring what it means to turn footage into language. Using clips of family home movies found in various online archives, Chloë Bass creates a descriptive piece for the audience to hear and imagine. Where is the film: in the language? in the images that come into each listener’s head? Is it shared between us? What do we see, and how does it make a story?


Chloë Bass is a Brooklyn-based conceptual artist working in performance, situation, publication, installation, and conversation. Her work addresses scales of intimacy, where patterns hold and break as group sizes expand. She received her BA from Yale University and her MFA from Brooklyn College. Bass’ work has been included in recent exhibitions at Tiger Strikes Asteroid, Brooklyn; CUE Art Foundation, the Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts Project Space, and the Kitchen, all in NY; as well The Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art, Winston-Salem, NC. She has had solo exhibitions at Stainar Gallery at Washington and Lee University, Lexington, VA; Elsewhere, Greensboro, NC; and SPACES, Cleveland, OH; among others. Bass was a 2017 - 2018 Workspace resident at the Center for Book Arts, NY; and a 2017 artist-in-resident at Triangle Arts Association, Brooklyn. She is also currently an Assistant Professor in the Art Department at Queens College, City University of New York.
