Performance by Molly and Judson Valdez

About this event

Molly and Judson Valdez of The Valdez will screen and discuss their recent experimental video and artistic work at the Hand Art Center as a part of their residency at Stetson University. This event is free and open to the public. Visitors will be able to ask questions of the artists and engage with them about their work during this interactive screening. ABOUT THE ARTISTS The Valdez consists of partners, Molly and Judson Valdez, video artists living and working in Brooklyn, New York. With a focus in creating time based work, their studio has evolved into creating experimental video art, bridging multimedia footage, alternative ways of recording and radical forms of performance. Centered around questions of surveillance and the strange inconsistencies between analog techniques and digital footage, their videos emphasize details of motion through looping and unorthodox editing. Molly and Judson began working together through making videos for their friend’s bands, flyers for events, and little bits and pieces for other artists. This led to them making videos for record labels and pop stars, including creating videos for Charli XCX, Republic Records and A24. From creating technical environments filled with low-res cameras tracking a dancer, animating irl wax silhouettes, to performing a multimedia piece with a live audience contributing their own phone cameras, their video work tends to blend mediums with movement.
