Van McElwee is an American video artist and academic.[1][2] He received a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2010. He is a professor in the department of Electronic and Photographic Media at Webster University, St. Louis.[3]
McElwee was born in 1948 in Meridian.[4] He first studied at Memphis College of Art, where he gained a BFA in Printmaking.[5] A growing interest in sound and time-based art led to him earning a MFA in multimedia at Washington University[6], where he was taught by Howard Jones and he later took over from Jones while he was on sabbatical. He moved to Webster University in 1983.[1]
???? He also received the American Film Institute's Independent Filmmaker Award.[clarification needed]
His 2010 Guggenheim Fellowship allowed him to complete a video, Half-Real, which combines architectural detail with natural textures and patterns from decay.[1]
Robert E. Kohn has analysed McElwee's art as typical of a tendency for what Paul Virilio terms "motorization" in recent art, a tendency towards accelerated movement.[7]
His art is in the collection of LUX Moving Image[8].
