The works of the Norwegian video artist Tor Jørgen van Eijk create a visible intersection between past and future of video art. Instead of digital perfection he is focusing on the originally analogue roots of the media. In the outcome his videos are reminiscent of paintings, minimalistic expressions that holds the spectator in a meditative state of fascination.

On Friday the 13th of December Kazachenko’s apartment will show Tor Jørgen van Eijk’s video work “ A Cyndi Lauper song written by Prince performed by unknown” In this video, a recording of an unknown busker at a New York city subway stop serves as an anchor for the analog video noise generated around her image. Tor Jørgen van Eijk made this video at the Experimental Television Center in Owego, NY (USA) on original equipment built by David Jones, Dan Sandin, Nam June Paik and others.

Tor Jørgen van Eijk lives and works in Oslo. His video works have been recently exhibited and presented internationally at venues such as Brot und spiele gallery (Berlin), Kronika Center for contemporary art (Poland), Transformer gallery, (Washington D.C.), Whitebox (New York), No Place at 18 st. Art Center Los Angeles and Galerie B-312 (Montreal).*
