NOTHINGTOSEENESS: All or Nothing

By Marcos Ortega on Mar, 30/11/2021 - 06:20

“You cannot apply the principles of painting to a medium that is not painting.” (Paul Sharits).

Film has laws of its own, but along with the other arts in the period around 1960 it searched for certain “zero points” that didn't revolve around nothing, but the whole. This three-part film programme, curated by Alexander Horwath and Regina Schlagnitweit, includes works from the period between 1958 and 2021 – by Stephanie Barber, Yves-André Delubac, Hollis Frampton, Jorge Lorenzo, Ernst Schmidt Jr., Aldo Tambellini, Joyce Wieland and many more. It also offers rare insight into Gregory Markopoulos’s cinematic life’s work ENIAIOS (1947–91), presented by the film artist Robert Beavers.

Freeze-Frame, a Vanitas of Light

By Marcos Ortega on Sáb, 20/04/2019 - 14:34

'Freeze-Frame, a Vanitas of Light' investigates in what form film can exist without the physical presence of film. The starting point is the local history of Wetteren, where in the 1960s were four cinemas; Cinema Roxy, Cinema Nova, Cinema Max and Cinema Forum. The socialists, liberals and Catholics, each had their own cinema and one was there for the 'naughty' films. Now that these cinemas have disappeared from the street scene, the question remains whether the cinematic is still present in Wetteren, or can be, and how an idea of film can exist without actually being present as a film.

Kunstmuseum Basel: Robert Beavers

By Marcos Ortega on Mar, 19/03/2019 - 15:09

Robert Beavers (born 1949) is considered one of the most important representatives of American experimental film. The themes of his films crystallize from his study of literature, philosophy, visual arts, music and architecture; But they also come from spontaneous visual experiences or are inspired by ideas that occupy the filmmaker for long periods of time.
