This collection of video work from Brooklyn-based Peter Burr takes the viewer on a visual dream through a psychedelic paradise. A large television, a smaller stack of three monitors, and two projectors play video loops combining an array of techniques from hand-drawn animation to visual basic. The colours are stunning, and you can’t stop staring at the screen as rainbow faces melt into moving collages of pizza and old video game heroes. Burr even has an animated parody of himself singing synth-like renditions of N64 toons that brought this reviewer on a sober trip back to childhood. These are Sunday morning cartoons for the gallery goer, and you’ll leave SUPERCLUB wishing there was twice the material.
SUPERCLUB, 4 – 9 Aug, 6.00pm – 9.00pm, free.
