Overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A multi-channel video and sound installation displaying the artist\u2019s view of the crumbling world we live in is the central sculptural element of Vanessa Renwick\u2019s piece Next Level Fucked Up<\/em>. This primarily cacophonous, alternately soothing work combines images of global catastrophes with biting, guided-tour commentaries on Portlanders\u2019 disgusted responses to recent regional development. Video bursts of typhoons, fires, melting glaciers, and images taken from metropolitan Portland are flanked by projections of Oregon\u2019s Painted Hills. The artist embraces technology to make a statement focused upon the inevitability of cyclical environmental change through eons and eons of time. Renwick reminds us that oceans rise and fall, ice melts, palms replace firs\u2014and that whatever the cause, change happens. From local to global and immediate to timeless, displaying both fear and hope, Renwick\u2019s aptly titled installation blatantly addresses the artist\u2019s reaction to our current state of affairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
