Cliff Evans: Empyrean is a new digital projection by leading video artist Cliff Evans and the first solo-museum exhibition of the artist’s work. Using images excerpted from the Internet to create an animated five-panel collage, Evans turns a critical eye on contemporary American culture and challenges the viewer to confront issues of power, politics, militarism life-style and control in our society. Infused with the artist’s wry sense of humor and keen eye for color and detail, Empyrean is as engaging as it is disquieting.

Cliff Evan’s work has been shown at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Maryland Art Place, Baltimore; Creative Research Lab, Austin; and at Location One, NY. He has also screened at numerous film festivals, including CinemaTexas and the Brooklyn and Boston Underground Film Festivals, and his collaborations with composers have at Tanglewood, Harvard University and the Camberwells Composers’ Collective in London.
