**Jacco Olivier
22nd July - 11th August 2009
on www.tank.tv

tank.tv is pleased to present nine of Jacco Olivier’s animated works online
at www.tank.tv from the 22nd July - 11th August 2009. The show will include
work made between 2003 and 2009: 'BMK', 'Birds', 'Submerge', 'Sleep',
'Transit', 'Wood', 'Return', 'Run' and 'Almost'.*

tank.tv is pleased to present a showcase of the work of Dutch artist Jacco
Olivier. The short videos exemplify the dense painterly technique that has
come to define Olivier within the realm of moving image and position him
somewhere between painter, filmmaker and animator. Each work is "a slice of
life" and the effect is of a feeling forgotten or a mystery unravelling. By
witholding the signpost of narrative Olivier leaves viewers examining their
own desires for these little, emotive pieces which seem like so much flotsam
from the artist's own life. Whilst Olivier's technique describes intense
labour the videos appear and disappear leaving the viewer in their deep,
gentle wake.

Jacco Olivier was born in 1972 in the Netherlands. He lives and works in
Amsterdam.
