Restricted: Other copy available for research. 520 "Labat's work asks the viewer to respond to bodily actions as information. Solo Flight depicts someone cleaning under their fingernails, a long pinky nail extends into the frame, is positioned and toyed with between open scissors and then achingly cut off. Later, Tony seats himself in front of the camera, box of sweaters and shirts out of the frame, layering possibly every shirt and sweater he owns one on top of the next. Another little vignette is a television screen, switched over to an image of Tony. A hand comes out and traces Tony's face with a sharpie marker onto the television monitor as if attempting to imprint his face forever onto the screen, outside of the medium of video at all. But alas, we're still only watching a video and this image is quickly becomes a new little visceral Labat narrative"--http:// ofpersuasivemeans.wordpress.com/2008/11/22/gettys- california-video/ 538 DVCam NTSC. 650 0 Performance art. 655 7 Personal/independent works.|2mim 655 7 Shorts.|2mim 700 1 Labat, Tony,|d1951- 935 GLADN51291865 941 0 PFA 0505-01-13310.
