Price's Super 8mm and 16mm films are usually constructed from found footage[5][6] and often include controversial subject matter, such as pornography, surgical footage, and psychodramatic performances,[7] as well as physical interventions into the actual material of the film stock.[8][9][10] Later in his career he began crafting individual 35mm slides shown on slide projectors. His work was featured prominently in the 2012Whitney Biennial. Roberta Smith of the New York Times called him "one of the Biennial's stars."[11]Ed Halter selected his Inkblot films as the Best Film of 2011, noting "[his films] struggle through the projector with an unsettlingly existential corporeality."[12] His films are distributed by Canyon Cinema in San Francisco, The Film-Makers' Cooperative in New York, and Light Cone in Paris. He was represented by Callicoon Fine Arts.[13] He died at his home in Revere, Massachusetts on June 13, 2020, at the age of 58.[1]
