Time Out says Rate it
The early videos by this pioneering US artist bestow a sense of agitation or aggression. In contrast, Birnbaum's new work looks at the legacy of two classical music compositions, presenting a tempered interlude, one that in turn elicits a passive viewing. YouTube clips of numerous women playing Robert Schumann's 1839 'Arabesque Opus 18', are screened alongside one clip of a pianist performing a piece by his virtuoso wife Clara, the later inter-cut with stills from the 1947 film 'Song of Love'. This meld of amateurish recordings does not represent the web-experience via a sluice of hyperactive unstrung nonsense. Instead, there is something elegiac, romantic almost, in Birnbaum's accomplished composition. (RD)
