If you live in San Francisco, you’ve seen at least one artwork by Jim Campbell. “Wandering,” the artist’s latest exhibition at Hosfelt Gallery, includes many of these familiar visual themes within a range of new and old video sculptures.
Jim Campbell’s “Moving Average #3 ” is featured in the artist’s latest exhibition at Hosfelt Gallery through June 11.If you live in San Francisco, you’ve seen at least one artwork by Jim Campbell: The ongoing, public installationat the top of Salesforce Tower. The 360-degree display usually shows footage of water, clouds and dancing silhouettes — all staples in Campbell’s oeuvre.
The best of Campbell’s recent video sculptures, “Drift,” 2022, almost has the appearance of a charcoal drawing. A grid of LEDs illuminates a pane of frosted glass from behind, casting an iridescent, unfocused image on the hazy screen. It’s so diffuse, it’s difficult to make out what the footage shows . Once you put it together the dreamy visual feels like looking at a memory.
“Scattered Light Prototype,” 2009, is the most sculptural piece on view and one of the most immediately legible. LED lights hang in a three-dimensional grid, the footage showing a crowd of milling bodies. The piece, which was made as a prototype for larger versions at Grand Central Station and SFMOMA, achieves an uncanny, mirage-like dimensionality. There’s something almost atomic about it, too, the small light bulbs like a cloud of exploded particles.
