Ryan Trecartin: Data Purge
Switch, Spring 2010, no. 3, pp. 20-25
Davies presents a brief biography of artist Ryan Trecartin and a thematic overview of his video works. Improvisionational performances are delivered in what Davies calls a neo-Valley Girl manner using meta-language and contemporary, hip, and trendy buzz-words. The exhibition at The Power Plant in Toronto is presented and individual works are explored in detail, including: K-Corea INC.K (Section A); I-Be Area; Re'Search Wait'S. Often "intensely abstract", Trecartin's exhibition "Any Ever" presents the viewer with 21st century digital self-fashioning.
