Welcome to the book release & film screening for Claes Söderquist and the new monograph "Claes Söderquist. The film and the passage of time" at Zita Folkets Bio, Monday 7 November at 5-8pm
Mingle and book sale in Zita's foyer from 17. The book is available for sale at a favorable price throughout the evening. At 6 pm the doors to Salon 1 open for a film program and artist talk with Claes Söderquist.
This one-hour program presents fifteen experimental shorts that focus on recontextualizing found or archival footage via algorithmic intervention. The work presented in the Retracted Cinema program use the appropriated film material itself as the site and means of auto-recontextualisation. Inspired by tendencies within conceptual art and Oulipo, the results are achieved by applying a set of rules or constraints (an algorithm) that governs a repeatable (iterative) array of transformations.
“Measuring Time,” an evening of live sound performance by Ephraim Asili taking place as part of our series of “Imageless Film” performances in connection and collaboration with the “Imageless Films” series at Anthology Film Archives.
New York-based artist Ephraim Asili will provide an improvised soundscape performance on the Boss SP-404 SX Linear Wave Sampler Sequencer, which was used to score several of his films, tapes, and most recently the vinyl record included in his recently published book, “Measuring Time” (VSW PRESS).
Diorama Room Arts presents Tune in to Green – Minor Chord II, our annual autumn show, which features experimental sound and short films, under five minutes, that fit the somber mood of the season. Using animation, 16mm film, video with and without effects, the artists featured in the show speak to the human relationship with nature poetically and philosophically. Themes such as death, grief, strange creatures, and Dia de los Muertos are touched upon.
