“Stemming from the artistʼs interest in physical landscapes and the materialization of history and memory in
the built environment, Chatkuptʼs new film, Transferase, marks a distinctive shift in the artistʼs interrogations of the
experiential dimensions of space and place. Inspired by the 1989 apocalyptic cult thriller, Miracle Mile (written and
directed by Steve De Jarnatt), Transferase is the artistʼs first film to engage the specificities of Los Angeles as
both a city-space and an urban imaginary. Echoing the significant theoretical contributions of urban scholars and
theorists like Kevin Lynch, Mary Jane Jacobs, Norman Klein, and Mike Davis amongst others, Chatkupt provides
a cinematic reconfiguration of Los Angelesʼ cartography as a situational, corporeal, and phenomenological
account. The film portrays a protagonist overwhelmed with anxiety after receiving a disturbing phone call. What
proceeds is a sequence of small events that operate as a psychological excavation, unveiling the rapidly changing
and unstable characteristics of both the protagonist and the LA landscape. Although seen as a narrative
film, Transferase is experimental in structure, juxtaposing a dynamic mix of cinematic techniques often mobilized
in the thriller and dark comedy genres. This process allows Chatkuptʼs film to adhere to the storyʼs surreal nature
while simultaneously provoking a destabilizing the viewer, speaking to the anxiety and ecology of fear that have
positioned Los Angeles historically and theoretically.”
- from “Terry Chatkupt: Transferase” Press Release, LAXART, Los Angeles

Transferase was commissioned by LAXART with generous support from the James Irvine Foundation.

(2009) is an art/experimental music project produced specifically for Intersection 2009,
a multi-sited public installation project (sponsored by Center for the Arts, Eagle Rock and Outpost for Contemporary Art) that brings artistic interventions
into the heart of Eagle Rock’s business community at the intersection of Eagle Rock and Colorado Boulevard in Northeast Los Angeles.

For this project, the artist gave the Rockinʼ Kid Shop various small musical instruments to encourage young children to play with in the store.
The music created by the instruments was recorded on a day-to-day basis and then given to the artist to be remixed.

The Idea of Home attempts to celebrate and promote multicultural awareness on the PSU campus as well as the surrounding community.
As a multimedia art project, The Idea of Home is exhibited in two main parts. The first component is a series of documentary videos
and the second part is a series of still portrait photographs. For this project the artist developed a relationship with PSUʼs Multicultural Center to meet, film, and photograph
fifteen PSU student volunteers while having a brief conversation about their “idea of home” or what the word “home” means to them. For the second part of the project, the artist created a series of portrait photographs (16 x 20 inches), which are on display on the second floor of the PSU Smith Memorial Student Union.
