Mircea Cantor - Profile

The Title Is the Last Thing features a series of eight videos by Mircea Cantor as well as a selection of photographs and objects that offer poignant commentary on the relationship between time and labor, politics, tourism, and history. The videos have been organized in four programs that will run weekly at the Film and Video gallery through the duration of the presentation. Many of Cantor's works involve manipulating already existing systems and conventions. In the video, Double Heads Matches (2003), he ironically utilizes a straightforward documentary approach to record Romanian workers' production of his absurd invention, a double-headed match. Because the double-phosphorus dipping has to be done by hand rather than through an efficient, mechanized system, this method resists the downsizing that has accompanied Eastern Europe's transition toward capitalism while at the same time literally moving artistic production from the studio to the factory. Taking full advantage of the visual, audio, and temporal dimensions of video while at the same time probing the creative possibilities of many other mediums, Cantor analyzes a compelling range of artistic, cultural, and political topics through his multifaceted artistic practice.
