  • Dreamlands Expanded: Barbara Hammer - Evidentiary Bodies

    By on

    Artist and queer cinema pioneer Barbara Hammer premieres her new performance and multi-disciplinary work “Evidentiary Bodies”.

    Armed with portable, fixed and live projectors and cameras, the artist moves about the space projecting video onto inflated balloons, photographic prints, x-ray scans of her own body, as well as onto the bodies of the audience members. One person extends to many and many people extend to one, challenging the concept of the proscenium screen and the stable audience. The performance also includes live sound by Norman Scott Johnson on cello.

  • Visual Sunday: Nouveau Noum (Cinéma Fragile, 2016) + video art films from Francesca Lai

    By on

    Cinéma Fragile (Katia Viscogliosi & Francis Magnenot) creates experimental and poetic films. They find the images that they didn’t shoot for the purpose of a specific film fascinating, because you can look at them for what they "really" are, not for what they were done for. That's why they love to work with found footage, internet archive, etc. Nouveau Noum was entirely made this way. It’s a poetic retrospective of the lunatic and unbelievable Sovietic nuclear activity in the Arctic zone in the 80's.

  • Cineinfinito #6: John Price (16mm)

    By on

    John Price is an independent filmmaker who has produced experimental documentaries, dance and diary films since 1986. His love of analog photography led naturally to extensive alchemical experimentation with a wide range of motion picture film emulsions and camera formats. Engagement with these modes of creation connected the way an images texture communicates subtext and is a key feature of his work and the work he shoots for others.

  • Kurt Schwerdtfeger: "Reflektorische Farblichtspiele" (Reflecting Color-Light-Play)

    By on

    Performed by Lary 7, Bradley Eros, Rachael Guma, Joel Schlemowitz

    In 1922 at the home of Vassily Kandinsky, a then 25-year-old artist and student Kurt Schwerdtfeger debuted his “Reflektorishe Farblichtspiele (Reflecting Color-Light-Play)”, which in recent years has received wider recognition as a groundbreaking work of the Bauhaus movement and of 20th century film and sculpture. The piece consisting of several movements utilizes a large hand-built cube projection apparatus in which performers activate cardboard shapes and a switchboard of colored lights to form a complex, abstract light play appearing on its screen surface.

  • DIM Cinema: Owen Land (FKA George Landow)

    By on

    Q: What is a ‘structural film’?

    A: That's easy, everybody knows what a structural film is. It's when engineers design an aeroplane, or a bridge, and they build a model to find out if it will soon fall apart. The film shows where all the stresses are.
