SIGNED dated' 05' and numbered' 2/15' by artist in black marker on back of sculpture. Tony Oursler has gained international renown with controversial exhibitions staged around the world in museums and galleries. For over ten years these shows have combined sculpture, video and performance with a unique primacy that rivets viewers with irony and pathos. Since the early 90s he has become best known for his installations of makeshift puppets upon whose large heads projected video images of real faces cycle through expressions and scripted monologues.

Both the modesty of his installations (which often involve found furniture, or simple cast shapes) and the austere presentation of exposed projectors give the works a disarming simplicity. Despite their obvious artifice Ourslers creatures are shockingly real, enough to entrap the viewers attention and suspend disbelief of his bizarre form of reality.

The artists research into the history of moving images, spirit images, psychological disorders and cases of multiple personality have provided inspiration for the scripted mutterings, screams and twitches that he and his actors record on video. Recent large installations have drawn from youth culture, and wireless communication. , Guild Hall, East Hampton, NY (6/8 - 7/21). Tony Oursler: The Volcano and Poetics Tattoo.
