Joshua Reiman: Some Passions

February 04 - February 26,2022

From Arts Fort Worth:

"Joshua Reiman is a sculptor and filmmaker. His films deal with themes of exploration, artistic expression, race, nature, and contextual inquiry. His short films offer an array of lush landscapes with characters that guide audiences through layered conceptual ideas about art, history, and popular culture.

Within a spatial sculptural practice, Joshua seeks to produce thoughtful physical objects, installations, and cinematic experiences that instigate reflective moments for an audience.   Working with themes of personal and cultural identity through conceptual and material inquiry. Reiman assess how fictional or historical narratives can frame or scaffold an artwork.

Through experiential learning, Reiman’s practice stands at a crossroads of theatrical simulation and challenging the assumptions imbued within stereotypes embedded within everyday life. His work often use iconic figures from art, history, and politics within to anchor new narratives at the junction of absurdity, where reality and fiction meet. Creating work that involves transforming realities and magical realism into a visual hybridization or synthesis of what is real, fake and imagined.
