Fred Camper: Art Bio Contact
I expect to attend my building's Open Studios events for the rest
of 2026, including the one on August 21. On the fourth floor, 53
works from my Weeks and Months project can be seen when
the building is open. Enter through the lot near 3420 S. Racine.
My work is in two locations, one near 4F4052.
I have just posted, on July 21, an extensive artist's statement on my films.
I released eleven new films and related prints on May 17. My films are all
silent, and fall into four groups: Interactions, Journals, Revisits, and Haikus.
They are 4K, and are best seen projected. There's a statement on Interactions
I like very much by a young Brazilian, Pedro Accioly.
Recently published is my essay on the Western genre, with analyses of two
films, Rancho Notorious and Johnny Guitar, in English and Portuguese.
My book Seeking Brakhage has garnered four favorable reviews.
I have a jeremiad titled Our Flattening Culture, on our disastrous present.
and the restorative power of art, in the journal Logos, also in Portuguese.
Two friends have made videos about my art, Dreams of Lost Wholeness
by Brian Hischier, and fred's unthreadings by Yoel Meranda.
