Program Notes
David Kramer (born New York City, 1963) is a painter, sculptor, and video artist whose work has been exhibited in North America and Europe, most recently at the Whitney Museum of American Art, The Brooklyn Museum, Feigen Contemporary, NYC, Birch/Libralato, Toronto, and Aeroplastics Contemporary, Brussels. His art work is characteristically centred on a wry, self-deprecatory view of himself, in his relation to the American Dream, and the American middle-class quest for success and splendour.
He describes Age Old Story as “a film about the struggles of being an artist. Two friends leave school to pursue their careers and dreams. But luck (both good and bad) intervenes … It is a satire about privilege and the art world, and how careers are made and broken by the whims of the critics and collectors”. – DAVID ROBINSON
