Time/Travel

An artist will try many different ideas and strategies to discover a new way of using a particular medium. The Philadelphia Museum of Art is showcasing three artists who have done just that: Peter Rose, Elizabeth Leister and Matthew Suib. Using film as its means, the series "Time/Travel" shows how three artists used normal editing techniques, color and changes in sound to twist their subjects' appearance. Rose will start off the exhibition (Aug. 20-Sept. 15) with The Geosophist's Tears, a film based on the American West and its landscape. Continuing is Leister with Vista (Sept. 17-Oct. 6), a three-part work that deals with unspoken events that haunt a domestic setting (shown at Nexus gallery earlier this year). Completing the series will be Suib's The Shadow People (Oct. 8-Nov. 3), a project that uses colorful abstraction to show the technology of film and video.

“Time/Travel,” Aug. 20-Nov. 3, Philadelphia Museum of Art’s Video Gallery, 26th Street and the Parkway, 215-763-8100, www.philamuseum.org.
