Microscope is excited to continue online its ongoing series *YES* dedicated to emerging artists with a screening of three works by Seattle-based artist Lynne Siefert. Siefert’s “Ark” (2016) highlights the surreal extremes reachable within our real world. With quasi-apocalyptic undertones, the video presents human existence in its dealings with a confined artificial environment, the ultra-entertaining locales of a cruise ship. Through meticulous and thoughtful camera shots punctuated by brief voiceovers, “Ark” mercilessly documents the life of “passengers aboard a cruise ship at the end of the world.” “Ark” and the suspended time it unfolds within seems to depict a limbo or a trip to hell of sorts with no salvation on the horizon. The online program, also includes Siefert’s short videos “After Light” (2014) and “The Open Window” (2017) It will be preceded by a short pre-recorded introduction by co-directors Elle Burchill and Andrea Monti. A live chat with the artist and Q&A from the online audience remains visible and open to your comments and Siefert will continue to respond. Please, stay safe until we finally get to see each other off-line again. Lynne Siefert is a moving image artist originally from Seattle, WA. Her 16mm films and digital works have been exhibited nationally and internationally at festivals including the Berlinale, Edinburgh International Film Festival, EXiS Experimental Film and Video Festival, L’Alternativa Barcelona Independent Film Festival, Chicago Underground, and in galleries such as Glass Box Gallery and Specialist Gallery. In 2019, Siefert became the first moving image artist to receive the Betty Bowen Award. She will have a solo exhibition in 2020 at the Seattle Art Museum.
