Since 1995, Bryan Konefsky has supported moving image artists from around the world through his work with Basement Films and his Experiments in Cinema film festival. This exhibit marks the first major survey of Konefsky’s own creative work in New Mexico. The gallery exhibit will consist of paintings, conceptual work, performance and moving image installations.
