O.V.L. by REC. is a temporary moving image library that you can sit back, relaxed over a cup of coffee and sweets and enjoy appreciating moving image art that you choose from our collection and the selection from recommenders. Art experts both from inland and abroad selected the works for the O.V.L. project. The collection includes many pieces that have never been shown in Japan.

EXHIBITION by REC.:
Now Let Us Praise American Leftists
Paul Chan Exhibition (recommended by Tetsuya Ozaki)
O.V.L.by REC. is an open video library style event in which ten art experts from Japan and abroad choose moving image art works. You can choose video works from artists by name, title, content of the works, comment from a recommender, nationality of artist and so on. There is no inconvenience for the viewer who was not able to see the art work from the beginning. You sit back, relax and enjoy the art videos with a cup of tea or coffee.
At the same time, we are presenting a short term exhibition entitled
EXHIBITION by REC.
The first is a solo exhibition of works by Paul Chan, recommended by Tetsuya Ozaki.
In Now Let Us Praise American Leftists, Chan has developed a visual index of social activism and represented American leftists as they were: men with mustaches. Over sixty leftist groups in the history of American leftist politics are represented with different types, created using FACES, a computer application used by North American law enforcement agencies to create composite pictures of criminals and suspects for wanted posters.
Paul Chan was born in 1973 in Hong Kong and lives and works in New York. He participated in Utopia Station at the Venice Biennale in 2003, and can be seen everywhere in the world currently. Paul Chan's digital animated floor projection, 1st Light, depicting two opposing tides of shadows moving in balletic slow motion, is being exhibited at the Whitney Biennial in New York this year and traveling exhibition Uncertain States of America.
