Greg Smith’s Loop is an exploration of invention, risk, and repetition. This video takes the viewer through the artist’s process of sewing together multicolored textiles and constructing absurdist contraptions which he both hangs from an elevated highway and mounts to a car. Attempting to combine all of his artistic practices into one performance, Smith sews more material together while he drives through the streets of New York City, his windshield partially blocked by a rolling canvas banner shrouding the car. Staying true to the video’s title, the sequence is repeated, and the viewer is taken along for another ride.
