"A Satisfied Mind"

If you happen to be in Leipzig, Germany, this month, why not go along to the Pierogi gallery where a video work by American artist Amy Patton can be seen.

"Amy Patton’s video work A Satisfied Mind leads us on a journey into an obscure narrative landscape. It is the product of work with three small excerpts of unrelated 16mm films found tangled together in a garbage bag in Austin, Texas. The three films, one showing early aviation disasters (c.1929), one discussing amnesia among psychosurgery and electro-shock therapy patients (ca. 1969), and one showing two children who take a ride on a greyhound bus (ca. 1966), were “hijacked”, so to speak, into a narrative framework of the artist’s design."
