DIM Cinema: Studio

By Marcos Ortega on Tue, 19/09/2017 - 15:30

This month DIM Cinema arranges a series of studio visits, beginning with Jem Cohen’s short portrait of the sculptor Ann Truitt (1921-2004) and ending with the ceremonial liberation of Jay DeFeo’s painting The White Rose, weighing over 2,300 pounds, from her second-floor studio in San Francisco. In between, and in their respective studios, Sarah Pucill plays with the blinds, Bruce Nauman walks in an exaggerated manner, and Ken Jacobs goes psychological-psychedelic.

Thursday January 31st 2013, 20h
Xcèntric CCCB, Montalegre, 5, 08001 Barcelona

The early days of video: the day a camera was taken into an artist’s studio not only provided a reflective, narcissistic gaze, as Rosalind Krauss has said, it also discovered a time of its own—genuine, expanded and with no restrictions whatsoever. Four titles provide an introduction to the key decade around which the MACBA Collection is constructed. Presented by Carles Guerra, chief conservator at the MACBA and programmer of this session.

- Pulling Mouth (Bruce Nauman, 1969, 11 min.)
- Marcel Broodthaers. Musée d’art du XVIIe siècle (Jef Cornelis, 1969, 5 min.)

Please Pay Attention Please: Bruce Nauman's Words
Nauman's eerily intuitive way of creating sophisticated, intellectually angular art out of simple gestures-a 10-minute film called "Bouncing Two Balls between the Floor and Ceiling with Changing Rhythms," for example, in which the artist does just that-builds fascination out of repetition's blandness. This set of collected writings is essential for anyone wishing to explore the ideas behind Nauman's practices, even if it duplicates much of the recent Art + Performance volume (Johns Hopkins, 2003) on Nauman and is nearly twice as expensive.
