\n Behold the Light (at Night) (2008, 87MB, 6:27 min)<\/a><\/p>\n

We initially posted this in 2008 when we encountered Dan Osborne’s work
\nfor the first time.
\nRecently he seems to be actively rejecting some of his earlier work so I hope
\nhe doesn’t mind us reposting this. In my view he’s a very talented artist
\nwith a quite singular vision.
\nWe said then:

\nThere’s something pleasantly reminiscent of Linklater’s Slacker<\/a>
\nin this piece from Dan Osborne.
\nI don’t mean to suggest it’s derivative; I don’t think it is, or only
\nin the completely unescapable way of coming-after. This piece
\nhas it’s own identity, which at first I wasn’t sure whether it was
\ncompletely random, but then little bits of structuring begin to
\nassert themselves. In particular I like the fades which occur
\nimmediately prior to anything substantive happening.
\nA lot of it looks very good too – there’s no doubt the man
\nhas an eye – the 3-D glasses sequence, the fire women,
\nthe musical instruments procession (although am I alone in
\nfinding something slighty snotty about the shot of the bemused onlookers?).
\nThat little cavil aside this is interesting stuff & I look forward to seeing
\nhow Osborne’s work develops.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
