David Bernabo and Emily Walley are an artist team focused on examining and defining the inner workings of the studio. This May Not Take That Long is a video piece that reflects on the process of creating collaborative artwork. The concept is not determined from the start, but derived from constant editing and reflection of the captured documentation. The audio track is a narration culled from edited conversations recorded during the creative process. The artists’ vulnerability is present in the voice-over as they discuss ideas for the final work. Despite contextual trickery, the piece attempts to be an honest, albeit absurd, portrayal of creating.
Bernabo and Walley met while installing a group show at Assemble Gallery, in June 2012. From there, they became studio-mates and developed an action-based live performance which became the basis for their upcoming exhibit, at Pittsburgh Center for the Arts. The installation consists of two video projections, on opposing walls, depicting the artists executing a series of actions. An audible track details the sounds of their actions and conversations during the creative process.
