Close-Up: Larry Gottheim and Friends

By Marcos Ortega on Tue, 12/03/2019 - 03:57

In 1967, Larry Gottheim started the Cinema Department at Binghamton University which was the first regular undergraduate program that dealt with cinema as a personal art. Considering the theme of nature in art and functions of racial, cultural and personal identity, Gottheim’s practice explores the ways in which time, movement, and becoming are bound up in a complex relation between formal cinematic patterns and pro-filmic subjects.

Light Movement Hoorn

By Marcos Ortega on Wed, 31/05/2017 - 14:45

A evening of films co-curated with Light Movement, from Berlin, as part of the residency of Alanna Lawley.

The artist and HMK resident Alanna Lawley seeks to absorb her environment’s physical terms, creating site-specific architectural constructions that masquerade as photographic collages. Through multiple processes, Lawley creates connections to the spatial and physical relationships of image, space and photography. She invited Light Movement to organise a selection of films as a reflection on the themes present in her ambitious site-specific works and to inform her residency at Hotel Maria Kapel, where she continues to develop her body of work referred to as 3D collages.

Dates:
Friday, June 2, 2017 - 20:00
Venue:

NOFEST 2017 - Is not a dinner party

--- NOFEST 2017: Non è un pranzo di gala (NOFEST 2017 - Is not a dinner party)

The image: the image is missing.

With too much hustle and excessive envy you tried to cage the cinematic image inside logic and schemes which it resisted in every possible way, and in this same resistance not only the image but affirmed its existence, at the same time, also was vented, these logic cages, of which every time nothing remained but the possibility through which, incessantly, they went to replenish itself, reiterating that their attempt to-present the image. But the image does not show up, it indeed exists to presentification and this exist.

Thursday, April 6, 2017 - 20:30 to Saturday, April 8, 2017 - 23:00
Disasterologies
This definitive volume of texts by Canadian writer and media artist Mike Cartmell includes a collection of essays written across three decades that examine reading and desire. Lacan, Blanchot, Sebald and Melville lead the charge. In his later years Mike developed a unique and unusual essay style, making ample use of quotations and multiple voices, weighing in on fringe media moments with an exuberant experimentalism.

Light Movement 12: Vincent Grenier

By Marcos Ortega on Mon, 21/03/2016 - 15:36

Light Movement presents in collaboration with Arsenal Berlin: Vincent Grenier
curated by Ute Aurand and James Edmonds

This month we are very lucky to be able to offer you this incredible double program from Vincent Grenier, who will be present at the Arsenal and visits us as part of a tour of Europe. Grenier originates from Quebec City in Canada, but has spent much of his time living in New York, as well as being highly active in the Montreal Art scene of the 70's and 80's. Since the 70's he has made experimental films, creating a body of distinct work on 16mm, before branching out into HD cinema at the end of the 90's, furthering his facination with uncertain spaces, unexpected shifts in filmic constructions and "visual movements comprised of both experiential and physical interactions with the image and philosophical queries into the nature of representation."
