Video Gallery

The Video Gallery at Alabama Contemporary was established in 2012 when french artist Xavier de Richemont was commissioned to create “Hokushima”- an immersive experience in our rearmost industrial space. The 4,200 square foot room was fitted with 6 projectors that map over the 30 foot high industrial walls of the space. The space is the largest new media installation space in the South East. Past projects have included:
