ZERO

Grantees
Deville Cohen
Curator: Summer Guthery
Disjecta, Portland, OR
January 25–March 2, 2014
Exhibition Grant

ZERO, a video inspired in part by the television crime drama The X-Files, premiered at Disjecta Contemporary Art Center. Cohen’s interest in idiosyncratic systems of relations and understanding leads to taking closed narrative forms, like the television show’s regular storyline with a crime scene, investigation, and resolution, only to then twist it apart. Cohen created a large sculptural installation in which to screen the new work, placing the viewer directly into his imagined scenes. Curated by Summer Guthery.
