I really love film, cinema and storytelling.

Since 2013 Alison O?Daniel has been working on her film-project “The Tuba Thieves?. The process involved in making the film is perhaps as exciting as the feature film itself, as the artist, working in stages, independent from support and budgets, progresses continuously; if the money is unsatisfied then there is a pause, if there is more funding then a new scene is filmed. The working process determines not only the form of the story, but contributes to its writing. It is unclear when ?The Tuba Thieves? will be completely finished; for the evening in Topkino we will show five previously completed scenes from the film. Central to the work is NYKE, and her relationship to drums. Around her Alison O?Daniel builds a tightly woven net of references and links to concerts, the majority of which can be reenacted. The title ?The Tuba Thieves? relates to a series of thefts in Los Angeles, in which a great many Tubas were stolen from public schools: I had to think about all the students, sitting in their music lessons without instruments and in my thoughts they were just listening, the thefts allowed an education of listening.

Alison O?Daniel was born in Miami, FL and lives and works in Los Angeles, CA. In 2010, she received her MFA from the University of California, Irvine. She holds a BFA from the Cleveland Institute of Art, and a Post Graduate diploma of Fine Art from Goldsmith?s College, London. She currently has a solo exhibition Room Tone, on display in NYC as part of Art in General’s New Commission series. She has been featured in solo exhibitions at Samuel Freeman Gallery, Los Angeles (2013) and the Centre d?Art Contemporain Passerelle, Brest (2015). O?Daniel?s feature-length film Night Sky premiered at the Anthology Film Archive in conjunction with Performa 11 as part of theWalking Forward-Running Past show at Art in General, and has been presented with live musical or Sign Language accompaniment at venues including The Aspen Museum of Art, MOCAD (Detroit), NYU, the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Museum of Jurassic Technology, and High Desert Test Sites. Writing on O?Daniel?s work has appeared in Artforum, The L.A. Times, L.A. Weekly, and ArtReview. O?Daniel has received grants from the Center for Cultural Innovation, the Rema Hort Mann Foundation, Art Matters, the Franklin Furnace Fund, and the California Community Foundation. http://www.alisonodaniel.com/
