"CPR," a new video by Hunter College MFA student Emmy Mikelson, is a smoothly poetic look at the cycles of revitalization, nourishment, demise, and decay.

The video will be screened in London next month, as part of Gallery Boreas' presentation at the Bridge Art Fair, October 11-14, 2007.

During the summer of 2006, Ms. Mikelson's "Little Invert," was screened in Lenox at the gallery's video art reception series. The same mummified opossum appears in "CPR" that appeared in "Little Invert." Other videos by the artist, without the opossum, were shown in Pittsfield in a video series curated by Peter Dudek and exhibited by Nicole Peskin.

Gallery Boreas is a migratory international contemporary arts promoter exhibiting in Lenox and Pittsfield in the summer months and internationally the rest of the year. Third Thursday is a community and local business event in downtown Pittsfield.
