    A Shape of Error (Abigail Child,2012)Xcèntric: Scenes in the life of Mary Shelley
    Sunday, December 16 2012, 18:30h
    Xcèntric CCCB, Montalegre, 5, 08001 Barcelona

    Filmed in Italy with amateur actors, A Shape of Error is an experimental feature film based on the diaries of Mary Shelley, author of Frankenstein, and her stepsister Claire, two emancipated women for their time. In the form of an imaginary home movie, Abigail Child tells her story, centring particularly on the passionate affair of Mary with Percy Shelley, employing formal strategies developed in earlier works (The Future Is Behind You, Covert Action), such as the shared screen and split images.

    - A Shape of Error (Abigail Child, United States, 2012, 72 min, 16 mm/digital).

  • Witness: Palestine

    By on

    Witness: PalestineWitness: Palestine, a film performance by Barbara Hammer
    Sunday, December 16, approximately mid-afternoon
    Performance Tent, Courtyard PS1 MoMA
    22-25 Jackson Ave., Long Island City, New York 11101

    In her most recent project Witness: Palestine the established artist and filmmaker Barbara Hammer integrates film practices into social spaces sharing the voices of men and women she met on the first LGBTQ Solidarity Tour of Palestine in January, 2012. How could she allow others a similar experience?  This is one of the most important questions the artist raises with this work. Upon seeing Intellettuale, 1975, by Fabio Mauri who projected the Pasolini film (The Gospel According to Saint Matthew, 1964) on Pasolini himself, she found her clue. By inviting the reader/audience into the work to produce it, instead of enforcing a predetermined reading, Hammer privileges the intelligence and integrity of the participant.
