One of the two monitors shows frontal views of various homes in Glendive, Montana, an out-of-the-way community selected by the artist because it is the nation’s smallest self-contained television market, representing a microcosm of America itself. The opposite monitor displays a grid of images of Fast vocally producing a complete soundtrack of “Foley” effects to accompany the images of the homes. Foley effects, as they are known in the radio and television industries, are ambient sounds usually recorded in a studio and later added to the main soundtrack. Through his whistling, buzzing, blowing, and hissing, Fast insinuates himself into these scenes of small-town America. “\u003ci\u003eGlendive Foley\u003c/i\u003e is about the exchange that occurs between an individual and an environment,” Fast explains. “The work attempts to create a space that literalizes this exchange, through a complete displacement of aural phenomena from one end of the exchange to the other.”\u003c/p\u003e","ai_alt_text":"Suburban house above a grid of six video panels showing a man wearing headphones speaking into a microphone.","alt_text":null,"visual_description":null,"on_view":false,"created_at":"2017-08-30T17:10:48.000-04:00","updated_at":"2026-02-06T12:00:49.769-05:00","images":[{"id":104094,"url":"https://whitneymedia.org/assets/artwork/15855/2002_558_vw1_still.jpg"}]},"relationships":{"artists":{"data":[{"id":"7894","type":"artist"}]}}}}
