- title: "A selection of works"
  artist: "Reynold Reynolds"
  speakers: "Reynold Reynolds"
  artist_bio: "Reynold Reynolds was born in 1966 in Central, Alaska. During his undergraduate schooling at the University of Colorado at Boulder, Reynolds studied Physics receiving a Bachelor\u201aÄôs degree under the professorship of Carl Wieman (Physics Nobel Laureate 2001). Changing his focus to studio art he remained two more years in Boulder to study under experimental filmmaker Stan Brakhage. After moving to New York City Reynolds completed an M.F.A. at the School of Visual Arts.\n\nInfluenced early on by philosophy and science, and working primarily with 16mm as an art medium, he has developed a film grammar based on transformation, consumption and decay. Detailed evolving symbols and allusive references create a powerful pictorial language based on Reynolds\u201aÄô analytical point of view. His depiction of people often makes us aware of the small frames we use to understand reality. By subtly altering the regular conditions of life and watching their effects, he transfers the experimental methods of science to filmmaking, where he frames reality in his laboratory and changes one variable at a time to reveal an underlying causality. \n\nIn 2003 Reynold Reynolds was awarded the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship and in 2004 invited to The American Academy in Berlin with a studio at Kunstlerhaus Bethanien for one year. In 2008 he received support from the German Kunstfonds to develop two projects in Berlin. \n\nHe showed his films at Sundance Film Festival, International Film Festival Rotterdam, Edinburgh Film Festival, Ann Arbor Film Festival and SXSW Film Festival.\n\nReynolds has received numerous awards for his film work, including the Festival Award for \u201aÄúSecret Life\u201aÄù at the European Media Art Festival Osnabrueck 2008, the \u201aÄò09 Distinction Award for \u201aÄúSix Apartments\u201aÄù at Transmediale Berlin and Mention sp√©ciale du jury, \u201aÄúLast Day of the Republic\u201aÄù at Videoformes, 2011"
