I work with what I have
Selina Trepp, with Llano Estacado Monad Band

Friday, February 7 (FFAT)
6:00 - 9:00pm

Studio D, CASP
1106 5th St, Lubbock

In October 2012 Selina Trepp decided that she would limit her practice by not bringing any additional materials into her studio. To work within this depleting system she recycles past works into material for new pieces. This restriction has given her the space to use creative problem-solving and find surprising results in the production of work that a welcomes viewers and participants into a formally cohesive and emotionally wrought environment.

I work with what I have is an immersive installation of animated video as score for musical improvisation. In this experiential work, the animated compositions, created by Selina Trepp, collide with the improvised music performed, for this iteration, by the Llano Estacado Monad Band. I work with what I have will be installed for the First Friday Art Trail on February 8, from 6:00 until 9:00pm, in Studio D of the Charles Adams Studio Project.

I work what what I have was held in conjunction with Trepp’s exhibition, Selina Trepp, doing it with Love, features stand-alone animation pieces and drawing installed within the gallery space of Lease Agreement. The exhibition is from February 8 until March 7. 

Selina Trepp (Swiss/American b.1973) is an artist researching economy and improvisation. Finding a balance between the intuitive and conceptual is a goal, living a life of adventure is a way, embarrassment is often the result. Trepp works across media, combining performance, installation, painting, and sculpture to create intricate setups that result in photos, drawings and animations. In addition to the studio-based work, Selina is active in the experimental music scene. In this context she sings and plays the videolah, her midi controlled video synthesizer, to create projected animations in real-time as visual music. She performs with a varying cast of collaborators and as one half of Spectralina, her long running audiovisual collaboration with Dan Bitney.
