Cal Crawford is a Los Angeles based video, sound and installation artist. With a strong interest in the manipulating properties of melody and the intensities of projected light, Crawford attempts to exploit these properties so as to put their aggression into question while maintaining there emotive abilities. Recently, Crawford performed a short video performance at the Outpost for Contemporary Art which consisted of hypnotic strobes, calming landscapes, and amateur pyrotechnics. In October Crawford will exhibit work at Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions as part of LA25, an initiative sponsored by Skadden/Arps law firm and curated by Tom Solomon, which brings together 25 young Los Angeles artists working in a variety of media and interests.
