  • Center for Visual Music film series at Guggenheim New York

    By on

    Nonobjective Films, 1920s-1950s
    A program of artists supported by Hilla Rebay
    Friday Nov 6, 2pm, and again on Nov 20, in New York

    An accompanying program to the Guggenheim's KANDINSKY exhibition.
    Organized by the Center for Visual Music

    In the 1940s, curator and founding director Hilla Rebay planned to establish a film center at the Museum of Non-Objective Painting, which later became the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, to collect and promote nonobjective films. She awarded grants to artists and presented programs of short experimental films. With the help of Oskar Fischinger, an elaborate film center was planned to include studios and planetarium-style projection capability. Although unrealized, Rebay's support enabled many filmmakers to continue their work in abstract film. This program presents short films by filmmakers whose work was screened and/or supported by Rebay, including Jordan Belson, Mary Ellen Bute, Charles Dockum, Oskar Fischinger, Norman McLaren, Hans Richter, Harry Smith, among others. Having experimented with nonobjectivity, many of these artists were familiar with the work of Vasily Kandinsky, one of its most famous practitioners, having seen his paintings at the Museum of Non-Objective Painting.

  • Light Industry: We Dig Repetition - Peter Roehr

    By on

    We Dig Repetition: Peter Roehr
    Tuesday, November 24, 2009 at 7:30pm
    Light Industry
    220 36th Street (between 2nd and 3rd Avenue), 5th Floor
    Brooklyn, New York

    Curated by Mark Webber

    “I alter material by organizing it unchanged. Each work is an organized area of unchanged elements. Neither successive or additive, there is no result or sum.” (Peter Roehr, 1964)

    You might think that Andy Warhol took pleasure in endless repetition, but he’s got nothing on Peter Roehr, a German artist whose brief career produced hundreds of works using type, photography, collage, film and audiotape. Not content with applying mechanical reproduction techniques to art-making, Roehr instead chose to appropriate industrially produced materials. His many photo collages present austere grids of identically cropped images from magazines. Similarly, his film and sound montages are constructed from brief passages, frequently drawn from commercial advertising, repeated without variation, for an irregular number of reiterations. The result is an insistent, hypnotic demonstration of stoic seriality that takes time and time again.

    - Film-Montagen I-III, (Peter Roehr, 16mm, 1965, 23 mins)
    - Ton-Montagen I-II, (Peter Roehr, audiotape, 1965, 60 mins)

    Roehr died at the age of 23 in 1968. From November 2009 to March 2010, his work is surveyed in parallel exhibitions at the Städel Museum and Museum für Moderne Kunst in Frankfurt which commemorate the 60th anniversary since his birth.

    “I feel identical with what I do. In the ‘montages’ I realize, in an unrestricted manner, everything that is important to me. I believe, I am free.” (Peter Roehr, 1965)

    Mark Webber is an independent curator of avant-garde and artists' film and video, and programme advisor to the BFI London Film Festival. Recent projects include "Shoot Shoot Shoot", "Reverence: The Films of Owen Land”, and Tate Modern seasons on Robert Beavers and Tony Conrad. He is currently working on several publications, and visiting New York through the generosity of the Gershwin Hotel's artist-in-residence program.

    Tickets - $7, available at door.

  • Medienhaus Hannover: Urban Research

    By on

    Urban Research
    presented by Klaus W. Eisenlohr
    Thursday, 05 Nov. 2009, 20:00h

    Klaus W. Eisenlohr, artist and filmmaker in Berlin, former Cast & Cut fellow in Hannover, presents a selection of his curated program "Urban Research". The selection comprises films from France, USA, Mexiko, Hungary, Finland, Germany, United Kingdom and Chile. Artists who explore the relations between built and social space use different forms of experimental and documentary film to express their concerns and views of public space in the city they live in, or in foreign countries. Different forms of close-up documentation or personal alienation to the places give ideas on how space is being used and transformed in contemporary cities. A multi-faceted show with both witty and subversive perspectives on urban architecture.

    Urban Research is a special, themed program at Directors Lounge art media festival. Urban Research selections have been shown in St. Petersburg, London, Freiburg, Poznan, Dordrecht and Berlin.

    Lichtspiel: Contemporary Abstract Animation and Visual Music

    Tuesday, November 3rd 2009, 20:30 - 22:30

    REDCAT
    631 W 2nd Street
    Los Angeles, CA

    Los Angeles premieres. Co-presented with Center for Visual Music

    “Joost Rekveld has provided an undeniable masterpiece with #37.” International Film Festival Rotterdam

    This ravishing “play of light” explores rhythmic abstractions in the cinematic tradition of Oskar Fischinger and visual music animation. The centerpiece of the program is the Los Angeles debut of Joost Rekveld’s #37 (Netherlands, 2009, 31 min., 35mm CinemaScope), a stunningly beautiful study of the propagation and diffraction of light through crystalline structures. Sure to bend more than a few minds, the lineup also offers award-winning animated shorts from around the world, most of which are screening in L.A. for the first time. Featured artists include Scott Draves, Robert Seidel, Steven Woloshen, Bärbel Neubauer, Thorsten Fleisch, Bret Battey, Michael Scroggins, Samantha Krukowski, Mondi, Devon Damonte, Scott Nyerges, Vivek Patel and Yusuke Nakajima. Plus the final film by the late CGI wizard Richard “Doc” Baily.

    In person: Joost Rekveld

    Curated by Center for Visual Music with Steve Anker.

  • Scratch Projection: Materia Obscura

    By on

    Scratch Projection
    Jürgen Reble: Materia Obscura
    Tuesday 03 November 2009, 20:30h, 6€

    This work is based on some excerpts of the film "Instabile Materie" which I realized in 1995. Sorce material were handprocessed 16mm film stripes which I covered with chemicals. In this so called "chemograms" the used substances mostly salts became moulding shapes. Years later I digitized parts of the film frame by frame in high resolution and started with the computer to slow down the speed just to analyse the sequence of events. So arose a morphology of the film emulsion with the embeded substances and a bizarre, strange world full of magic revealed.

    Film Reports from the Deep South
    Chris Henschke and Donna Kendrigan

    Thursday, 29 Oct. 2009 at 21:00

    Z-Bar
    Bergstraße 2
    10115 Berlin-Mitte

    Tonight, we will experience two very different aspects of Australian culture:
    Art meets science in the works of Chris Henschke and Donna Kendrigan, Australian artists from Melbourne. Donna recreated the first metereological cloud formation experiment in front of her camera. Chris inserted a lightbulb into the beams of a particle accelerator during his residency at the Australian Synchrotron, and documented the effects. The results of these experiments will be presented at the screening. However, Donna and Chris also have a very different interest. This will be shown in the second part of the night.

    "Deep South" is a montage of shorts and features from the southern end of the Australian continent. A selection of degenerate yet distinctive moments in Australian film starting from 1906, paints an unashamedly unglamorous and unfamiliar portrait of Australia for the European audience - a new anti-touristic angle on Australia as opposed to the usual image of a fun and friendly holiday destination.

    The artists are personally introducing the films and will be present for Q&A after the
    screening.

  • LFF: Hollis Frampton / Film Ist repeat screenings 29 Oct 09

    By on

    The London Film Festival has just added repeat screenings of Gustav  Deutsch's FILM IST. A GIRL AND A GUN and the HOLLIS FRAMPTON: HAPAX  LEGOMENA programme. Tickets are on sale now.

    LONDON FILM FESTIVAL: ARTISTS’ FILM & VIDEO REPEAT SCREENINGS
    London BFI Southbank
    Thursday 29 October 2009, at 4pm, NFT2

    FILM IST. a girl & a gun
    Gustav Deutsch | Austria 2009 | 97 min

    Taking its cue from DW Griffith via J-L Godard, the latest instalment  of the FILM IST series is a five-act drama in which reclaimed footage  is interwoven with aphorisms from ancient Greek philosophy. Beginning  with the birth of the universe, it develops into a meditation on the  timeless themes of sex and death, exploring creation, desire and  destruction by appropriating scenes from narrative features, war  reportage, nature studies and pornography. The Earth takes shape from  molten lava, and man and woman embark upon their erotic quest. For  this mesmerising epic, Deutsch applies techniques of montage, sound  and colour to resources drawn from both conventional film archives and  specialist collections such as the Kinsey Institute and Imperial War  Museum. Excavating cinema history to tease new meanings from diverse  and forgotten film material, he proposes new perspectives on the cycle 
    of humanity. The film’s integral score by long-term collaborators  Christian Fennesz, Burkhardt Stangl and Martin Siewert incorporates  music by David Grubbs, Soap&Skin and others.

    HOLLIS FRAMPTON: HAPAX LEGOMENA

    Hollis Frampton, a key figure of the American avant-garde, was an  artist and theoretician whose practice closely resonates with  contemporary discourse. The series of seven films known as HAPAX  LEGOMENA is, alongside ZORNS LEMMA, one of his most distinguished  achievements, and will be presented in its entirety on new  preservation prints. Predating MAGELLAN, the ambitious ‘metahistory’ 
    of film left unfinished by his early death in 1984, HAPAX LEGOMENA  traces Frampton’s own creative progression from photographer to  filmmaker. It dissects sound/image relationships, incorporates early  explorations of video and television, and looks forward to digital  media and electronic processes. Though notoriously rigorous,  Frampton’s films are infused with poetic tendencies and erudite wit, 
    sustaining a dialogue with the materials of their making, and the  viewer’s active participation in their reception.

    ‘Hapax legomena are, literally, ‘things said once’ … The title  brackets a cycle of seven films, which make up a single work composed  of detachable parts … The work is an oblique autobiography, seen in  stereoscopic focus with the phylogeny of film art as I have had to  recapitulate it during my own fitful development as a  filmmaker.’ (Hollis Frampton)

    (NOSTALGIA)
    Hollis Frampton | USA 1971 | 36 min
    As a sequence of photographs is presented and slowly burned, a narrator recounts displaced anecdotes related to their production,  shifting the relationship between words and images.

    POETIC JUSTICE
    Hollis Frampton | USA 1972 | 31 min
    A ‘film for the mind’ in which the script is displayed page by page  for the viewer to read and imagine.

    CRITICAL MASS
    Hollis Frampton | USA 1971 | 16 min
    Frampton’s radical editing technique disrupts and amplifies the  already impassioned argument of a quarrelling couple.

    TRAVELLING MATTE
    Hollis Frampton | USA 1971 | 34 min
    ‘The pivot upon which the whole of HAPAX LEGOMENA turns’ uses early  video technology to interrogate the image.

    ORDINARY MATTER
    Hollis Frampton | USA 1972 | 36 min
    This ‘headlong dive’ from the Brooklyn Bridge to Stonehenge is a burst  of exhilarated consciousness.

    REMOTE CONTROL
    Hollis Frampton | USA 1972 | 29 min
    ‘A ‘baroque’ summary of film’s historic internal conflicts, chiefly  those between narrative and metric/plastic montage; and between  illusionist and graphic space.’

    SPECIAL EFFECTS
    Hollis Frampton | USA 1972 | 11 min
    Stripping away content leaves only the frame. ‘People this given  space, if you will, with images of your own devising.’

    HAPAX LEGOMENA has been preserved through a major cooperative effort  funded by the National Film Preservation Foundation and undertaken by  Anthology Film Archives, MoMA, the New York University Moving Image  Archiving and Preservation Program, and project conservator Bill Brand.
