Glory and Pain, group exhibition at Pablo's Birthday Gallery, New York, NY
PAIN AND GLORY
Exhibition dates: June 22 – July 22, 2022
Opening reception: June 21, 6-8pm

Pablo's Birthday is pleased to present a summer group exhibition showcasing the work of Claudia Bitrán, Eckart Hahn, Kubra Khademi, Seyhr Qayum, and Paul Vogeler. The works in this exhibition resonate with fetishistic significance, where the visual images are venerated as representational objects and believed to have magical or supernatural potency.
The term "fetish" has evolved over the decades to arrive at an idiom that played a central role in the perception and study of non-Western art, and in African art, particularly in modern times. Fétichisme was first used in an erotic context in 1887 by Alfred Binet. “The Modern Fetish” by Donald Kuspit —published in Artforum in 1988— inaugurates the fetishistic art theory as it is applied to modern art. “Any object capable of remaining intact outside the body so that it may at the same time be visually introjected” can operate fetishistically. In these terms, then, one way of compensating for a sense of lack in the body is through the supplement of the work of art. In fact, what more reliable source can this fantasy demand than works of art, whose presumable immortality—“eternal presence,” as it has been called—signals indestructibility?” - Phyllis Greenacre “Certain Relationships,” Donald Kuspit, “TheModern Fetish,” Artforum, October 1988.

Claudia Bitrán: Stereotypies
at Cristin Tierney Gallery, New York, NY 
Opening March 11th 2022, until April 16th 2022
Cristin Tierney Gallery is pleased to announce Stereotypies, an exhibition of new paintings and animations by Claudia Bitrán. This is Bitrán's first solo exhibition with the gallery and her first solo gallery show in New York. Stereotypies opens the evening of Friday, March 11th, with a reception from 6:00 to 8:00 pm. The artist will be present and masks are required for entry. A stereotypy is an involuntary repetitive action found in human and animal behavior. Exacerbated by stress, fatigue and anxiety, these actions often present themselves as persistent and uncontrollable movements or language executed as a self-soothing mechanism. Bitrán adopts the term for this abnormal phenomenon to connect her three new bodies of work in the exhibition. Click here for full press release
THE ULTERIOR NARRATIVE at TICKTACK GALLERY, ANTWERP, BELGIUM
group screening curated by Alex McQuilkin 1/29- 3/19/2022
Screening daily at Sunset at Tick Tack gallery in Antwerp, Belgium on their public screen. The works will concurrently be screened live daily at ticktack.be/cinema at 11:30 EST
 
For the Ulterior Narrative I chose six artists whose work disrupts our expectations of existing forms of media to reveal or create alternative narratives.  This is done via re-enactment in the case of Claudia Bitran’s homemade Britney Spears videos, Marianna Rothen’s de/re-construction of a 1995 televised interview with Princess Diana, or Nadja Verena Marcin’s conceptual reworking of Larry Clark’s “Kids.”  Cindy Hinant uses direct appropriation in her minimalist intervention onto Kim Kardashian’s workout videos and her computer-generated grid that responds to the beats in Britney Spears’ club dance hit “Selfish.”  Jen DeNike and Sue de Beer use isolation and repetition to alter our experience with other artforms.  In DeNike’s Another Circle, a ballerina’s pirouette is isolated and abstracted into a three-minute continuous action, while in Sue deBeer’s Untitled an actress cries on command to an Aimee Mann song played on repeat.  For each of these artists, a prior artistic expression serves as the jumping off point from which these ulterior narratives are created.

Filming Titanic at Sweet Pass Sculpture Park and at SMU in Dallas, Texas
Events Facilitated by Founders of the Park Tamara Johnson and Trey Burns 
"Despite so much isolation, collaboration in art is not foregone. SMU Visiting Lecturer in Sculpture, Tamara Johnson, facilitated DIY director and painter Claudia Bitrán to organize a whirlwind film shoot in the basement of SMU. Productions tend to involve interchanging groups (cast members, production crews, director staff and producers), which can mean a lot of work in close quarters. Seeing it happen again, now, in the labyrinthine maze that is the subterranean studio spaces of SMU, felt healing and reassuring. It helps to have the ubiquitously recognized movie Titanic as the string to hold together a creative group. Bitrán’s ability to whip disparate players into coherence is a strength, which in turn lends further relevance to the project. Under ordinary circumstances, unassociated persons inspired to create together is a gift. Under current circumstances, it feels like a superpower."

Rava Films Presents Studies in Quarantine: Claudia Bitran
August 2020

Before viral videos were all the rage -- and before a viral pandemic swept the globe, Brooklyn-based Chilean-American multidisciplinary artist Claudia Bitran has been deconstructing and reconstructing our obsession with pop culture. Claudia primarily uses painting and video to piece together her eclectic, eye-catching work, which includes recreations of cultural sensations like Britney Spears’ music videos, and a shot-for-shot remake of James Cameron’s Titanic using trash and everyday items as props and set dressing. She also often stars in these pieces, inserting herself, as many of us often do, into highly saturated narratives.
​ 
​In #StudiesInQuarantine episode 2, Rava virtually visited Claudia’s basement studio to take a look at what she’s obsessing over during the pandemic. Her flashy, bright style may make for perfect clickbait, but Claudia also wants to reflect on the darker side of these phenomena, that hide in plain sight as we watch -- and rewatch -- viral moments over and over and over.

Claudia Bitran: FRENZY
curated by Lauren Powell
SPRING/BREAK Art Show 2020
March 4-9 
​11AM - 8PM 
Claudia Bitran is a multidisciplinary artist who works primarily in painting and video, most known for her Britney Spears impersonations and her ongoing shot-for-shot remake of Titanic. Her work stands somewhere between critique and devotional act, exploring the contradictory and seductive powers of capitalism by engaging and complicating the smooth transmission of its signs.
Compelled by the vast amount of viral videos of inebriated teenagers circulating online, Bitran started collecting and cataloging clips in an effort to break down and examine the paradoxical way in which we consume them. How do violence and near death experiences transform into humor for the masses? Why are we drawn to this kind of entertainment?
Bitran’s Fallen stop-motion painting animations depict anonymous female teenagers in euphoric and anxiety-inducing states of inebriation. The compositions, gestures, and pacing of the paintings emphasize the instability of the characters as they lose control over their vomiting, falling bodies. The stills are layered over each previous iteration producing a final painting where the trauma of the actions in the animations is covered, yet still present. In Frenzy , Bitran further explores the tipping point between euphoria and near death experiences.
By painting each frame of these found videos, she is expanding time and analyzing each microsecond of the actions. The artist employs a wide range of painting strategies that both glorify and petrify the vulgarity of the actions, resulting in surfaces that are affected, thick and loaded with the poses of the young disoriented bodies. The final paintings are a ghostly metamorphosis of the source material, while the animations serve as documentation of the painting’s evolving stages. The process is both empathetic, and at the same time pulls back the curtain to reveal the invisible horror behind the subject matter. 
As viewers experience these entertaining, disturbing, plastic, euphoric and dark animations, we hope they raise questions about the nature of our voracious habits online. The TVs stand as purgatory cages in which the anonymous characters are trapped on an infinite loop, constantly devoured over and over again. The tense disconnect between the viral videos and the viewers reinforces the numbness of our consumption, and the teenage fall acts as metaphor for the constant failure of neo-liberal systems of exchange. Will the aftermath of showing these painting animations reinforce this sharing cycle?
Bitran’s Spring Break solo booth, open to the Public between March 4th and 9th, is a sequel to her video-animation works that are on display at Postmasters Gallery until March 7th, 2020. Both shows are curated by Lauren Powell, independent curator and art advisor.
Vicious Frames by Postmasters Gallery
Curated by Lauren Powell
​Claudia Bitran / Lauren Carly Shaw / Gracelee Lawrence 
Picture
VICIOUS FRAMES curated by Lauren Powell features NY-based multimedia artists Claudia Bitran, Lauren Carly Shaw, and Gracelee Lawrence. The show will be on view at Postmasters Gallery from February 1, 2020 to March 7, 2020, with an opening reception taking place from 6-8pm on Saturday, February 1st.  
 
The works in this exhibition take a deep dive into media addiction: one that explores, celebrates and denounces the voracious consuming of others; another that examines and stages the notion of the construction of self; and one that reflects upon the isolation produced by our online existence.
 
Bitran’s three stop motion animations (one claymation, one drawing animation and one painting animation) are inspired by viral videos of epic fails and chaotic humiliations. Two of them depict anonymous female teenagers in euphoric states of inebriation, while a third one presents animals and babies falling in slow motion. The rendering, pacing, and gestures of the various materialities emphasize the instability of the characters as they lose control over their vomiting, falling bodies. Bitran proposes a nuanced, deeper and expressive perspective of these over-shared videos, by exploring trauma, humor and cruelty.
 
Shaw’s I, Me, Mine exhibits a female version of Narcissus that is lounging in a surreal hand-crafted diorama while pointing at herself. The subtly animated character can only be seen by the viewer through the screen of an iPad, presenting two simultaneous realities that investigate prevalent social obsessions with vanity: one tangible, one virtual. In both instances, she is surrounded by a number of humanoid objects and busts that gaze eternally at themselves and at their doppelgängers. 
 
Lawrence’s sculptures, relying equally on digital fabrication and hand augmentation, examine the relationship between food, the body, and technology at an exaggerated scale. A physical origin point is isolated and translated to digital space, often influenced by what is found in our ever more real and familiar internet world. As the barriers between digital and physical spaces dissolve, our perception of reality also shifts, and the compartmentalization encouraged in digital space leads to a new world less and less concerned with the human touch, yet Lawrence’s work dips into both territories with equal aplomb.
 
Not without humor nor skepticism, each artist presents pieces that confront our current reality, one driven by the insidious power of social media and our contemporary narcissism. For Bitran, the frame becomes a vessel of tragedy, for Shaw an addictive ego-system, and for Lawrence, an isolated ‘experienced’ existence void of physical sensations. VICIOUS FRAMES highlights the habits and addictions that affect our online activity, offering a deeper look into our collective alienation.

Trittbrettfahrer
Claudia Bitran | Howard Schwartzberg | Rusty Shackleford
​Cindy Rucker Gallery
June 22 – August 2, 2019
Opening reception Saturday, June 22nd, 6 – 8 pm 

Picture

























​Cindy Rucker Gallery is pleased to present Trittbrettfahrer, featuring works by multidisciplinary artists Claudia Bitran, Howard Schwartzberg, and Rusty Shackleford. Taking the German word for riding a train surreptitiously as its title, the exhibition gathers artists who work in the medium of the painting, yet reshape it by incorporating traits of neighboring disciplines, such as sculpture, video, photography, and installation. As if turning painting inside out,

Howard Schwartzberg uses the conventional elements of stretcher and canvas to seemingly envelop large masses of paint. His pseudo-containers give way to hybrid objects, the volume and weight of which place them on the verge between painting and sculpture. Rather than creating spatial illusion through flat canvases, their flatness resides on the surfaces of their fluid bodies, the angles of which suggest that they may overflow.

Claudia Bitran’s stop-motion animations depict anonymous teenagers in euphoric and anxious states of inebriation. Taking stills from videos found on social media, the bright chromatic composition in which Bitran reproduces these clips provides an unbiased channel into youth culture, and the brushwork emphasizes the instability of the characters; as they lose control over their bodies, the figures morph in and out of abstraction.

​Rusty Shackleford’s multi-layered collages only display minute sections of what were once compositions of paint on paper, yet are enlarged to a scale that engulfs a section of the exhibition space. The prominent texture contained by the digital images elude the viewer, as their materiality consists of no more than a flat surface—a record of an earlier stage of the artwork—which has been warped and distorted. Paradoxically, the work’s lack of tangibility draws us to contemplate the distinct stages of its physical and temporal construction, despite the fact that these multiple layers have been compressed into data.
​
By navigating different avenues of formal research, the artists in Trittbrettfahrer reaffirm the elastic nature of painting. Whether that be conceptual, technological, or material, they each occupy the medium in contemporary modes of production and prove that the vulnerabilities and mutations they identify in people, images, and objects are also intrinsic to the discipline in which they intersect.

AXxoN N. is a group exhibition of works created in response to David Lynch’s 2006 film Inland Empire. Riddled with ruptures of time, space, narrative and identity, the film’s “multiple and fractured modes of perception” (Anne Jerslev) seem “like a series of dream sequences floating free of any grounding reality, a dream without a dreamer” (Mark Fisher), inviting and frustrating commentary.

Claudia Bitran at Muhlenberg College 2018 - 2019 

​Martin Art Gallery at Muhlenberg College is pleased to present “Filters and dolphin sounds”, a solo exhibition by Claudia Bitran.
In this show the artist deepens her investigation into the semiotics of personal marketing and online sharing culture. She will present four new works: a series of backlit doodle drawings in light boxes representing instagram filters; paintings on panel depicting body fragments of young female influencers; a stop motion animation based on viral videos of animals and babies falling in slow motion; and interactive sound pieces that will submerge viewers into a mashup of fragments of today's pop hits. Collectively, the works identify and break down filters that are commonly used in online sharing dynamics. Bitran proposes a deeper look at the signs and mechanics of online sharing culture, bringing to light the real intentions behind certain types of posts and the figures of speech that connect them, as well as proposing some fictitious new ones.

TITANIC a deep Emotion by Claudia Bitran
Performance / Shoot
University of Michigan
​Oct 2018
For four years, New York-based multimedia artist Claudia Bitran has been reinterpreting Director James Cameron's film Titanic with an intentionally experimental shot-for-shot recreation. This dynamic long-term project has involved 500+ participants from 15 cities across Chile and the United States and — on October 24th — will be performed and filmed at the University of Michigan.
Stamps School of Art & Design Dressing Up + Down students have created elaborate costumes and wearable props re-imagined from the scene in which passengers are thrown into the frigid waters around the sinking ship. On Wednesday October 24, 9-11pm, DU&D students and members of the University of Michigan Synchronized Swimming will wear the costumes and re-create scenes from the film. The swimmers will perform a mash-up of choreography from their own routines and the original film. Claudia will direct and film this event, and will incorporate this scene in her larger film.
The University of Michigan community and the public are invited to attend the performance and filming on October 24, 9-11pm at Canham Natatorium - University of Michigan. Please join us for this event.
Thank you for support from the Witt Visiting Artist Program, Arts at Michigan, and University of Michigan Athletics.

Screening at Taipei Contemporary Art Center 2018 
Curated by Shih-Yu Hsu with works by Claudia Bitran, Xie Yi, Ni Xiang and Ran Li 
Television recalls a sense of nostalgia. We as viewers turn to contents on online media platforms, such as YouTube, Facebook or Netflix. Endless shows, series and movies await and on demand. TV as a telecommunication medium is gradually replaced by personal computers, smartphones or tablets, becoming an extension of the screen. It is, however, once the dominant tool to disseminate moving images and to construct daily visual experience. Through television screens and TV broadcast networks, ideology embedded in images and moving are made, transmitted, displayed and assimilated into a state of consciousness. In addition, TV programs are divided by time slot, forming a TV flow that allows viewers watching program after program, preparing the foundation for the upcoming age of binge watching. The 2018 Video Lounge Series 1: Before Binge Watching focuses on works that appropriate, mix and bricolage forms and visual elements commonly seen on TV. In these works, artists take a double role of being a spectator and a image maker. Would they eventually lead the ways of seeing to building a “imagined community” with the visible other, or force us to linger in a limbo with infinitely gawking?
