    Stirrings stillSTIRRINGS STILL
    a selection of videos curated by Andrea Monti
    on display from August 19th through September 7th
    White Box Gallery
    329 Broome Street, 10002, New York, USA
    organized in collaboration with LUX and Lucca Film Festival 2010
    opening reception on Aug 19th 7-9 pm

    Presenting videos made by American and European artists, this program relates to Samuel Beckett's last work Stirrings Still at many levels: aesthetically, structurally, emotionally and metaphorically.

    The terms stirring and still, which generally refer to movement and stillness, are combined together, a characteristic inherent in all moving-image art works.
    Many of the selected videos center around structure and aesthetics, showing the interaction between moving and still elements, and exploring their reciprocal limits.
    Other works involve the repetitions and obsessive self-reflection present in Beckett's writing. While others deal with at some level the sentiment of 'the end', the passing of time and our fate of being alone with our own existence.

    The works will be displayed as a 70 minute looped program as part of the exhibition Project Birch Forest - Part 2, opening on August 19th through September 7th. (Andrea Monti)

  • Directors Lounge: Jari Haanperän - Spectres of Light

    Kalavalo (Jari Haanperän)Directors Lounge: Jari Haanperän - Spectres of Light
    Friday, August 13th, 2010, 21h
    Galerie Meinblau
    Pfefferberg, Christinenstr. 18/19
    D-10119 Berlin-Prenzlauer Berg

    Curated by Klaus W. Eisenlohr

    Jari Haanperän lives in Berlin and together with Mirka Flander, his producer, he is running the gallery Suomesta. With his installations, Jari Haanperän takes up and further develops the idea of the Light Space Modulator by Laszlo Moholy-Nagy. Although Jari's film works on the other hand appear very different to the abstract spirituality of Moholy-Nagy's light machine, the two constituting elements seem to be the constant source of inspiration for artist and filmmaker Haanperän: light and the spirited machine. However with Jari, these elements seem to evoke their opponents: darkness, which is needed for the effects of light, or lumen, and the darker forces.

  • Artist In Focus: Paul Clipson

    Paul ClipsonArtist In Focus: Paul Clipson
    Live soundtrack by Ignatz & Paul Labrecque
    Saturday, September 25th, 2010, 20h
    Palais des Beaux-Arts / Paleis voor Schone Kunsten
    Rue Ravenstein 23, 1000 Bruxelles
    Organized by Courtisane & Bozar Cinema.

    The elegantly ravishing super 8 films of Paul Clipson (US) are lyrical explorations of light and movement. His images, mostly edited in-camera, reveal the rhythms, energy and sensuality of the everyday that we often fail to see. The influence of experimental filmmakers such as Stan Brakhage, Marie Menken, Bruce Conner and Bruce Baillie is palpable in his multi-layered studies, as well as that of the many sound artists and musicians with whom he has collaborated over the years, such as Jefre Cantu-Ledesma, Gregg Kowalsky and William Fowler Collins. For this occasion, a selection of his recent film work will be accompanied live for the first time by Bram Devens (alias Ignatz, BE) and Paul Labrecque (alias Head of Wantastiquet, Sunburned Hand of the Man, US). Both musicians draw their exorcising sound explorations from the tradition of “American Primitivism”, where the dreaded, uncompromising ghost of John Fahey dwells.

    Death by VHS: New Cinematic Discoveries from Winnipeg, ManitobaDeath by VHS: New Cinematic Discoveries from Winnipeg, Manitoba
    Monday, August 30, 2010, 19:30h
    Presented by DIM Cinema
    Pacific Cinémathèque
    1131 Howe St., Vancouver, BC

    Curated by Clint Enns and Leslie Supnet.

    A long, rich history of lo-budget inventiveness is woven into the civic consciousness of Winnipeg, Manitoba, the birthplace of K-Tel, Hunky Bill’s Perogie Maker, and the Green Garbage Bag. Countless Winnipeg artists have utilized the same Do-It-Yourself spirit in their practice, speaking to tradition as well as environmental necessity. Enriched with strange humour, hand-crafted experimentation and lo-fi/high-tec conundrums, the films and videos in this program are testaments to an aesthetic movement that is wholeheartedly Winnipeg’s own.

    215 SE Morrison, Suite 2020
    Portland, Oregon, USA

    For more than 30 years, Seattle-based artist Jon Behrens has worked completely outside of the mainstream conception of what filmmaking is. He began to make films as a teenager in the late seventies, starting with his Grandfather’s Wollensak regular 8mm camera and then moving to 16mm shortly thereafter. Since the age of 16 Behrens has made well over 100 films of various lengths, subject matters and approaches, from do...cuments of the early Seattle punk rock scene to poetic film experiments in which the celluloid film stock has been manipulated. Over the years Jon has screened his films nationally and internationally, and has been called one of the Northwest’s most prolific filmmakers.

  • Elusive Landscape

    By on

    Elusive LandscapeElusive Landscape
    Saturday, August 18th, 2010, 20h
    E.G. Sewell Park
    1801 NW South River Drive, Miami, Florida, USA

    Elusive Landscape will be presented at five public parks in Miami from June to October 2010. This work consists of multiple hand-crafted 16mm films depicting the forms and colors of natural landscapes projected directly into the landscapes themselves. These events will be free and open to the public.

    Elusive Landscape promotes environmental awareness by celebrating Miami's lush urban greenspaces and natural eco-systems. It connects the city’s diverse audiences and neighborhoods by engaging everyday people with an experience that is sensorial, magical, celebratory and rooted in nature, and by presenting similar events across the city so that it becomes a shared, unifying experience.

    Artist Dinorah de Jesús Rodríguez brings to this project over 30 years’ experience in hand-crafted 16mm filmmaking, as well as a history of moving image installation, including several works which have included projections in the outdoors. Her work is exhibited internationally in film festivals, museums, galleries, independent venues and public spaces, and she has received numerous grants, fellowships and residency awards for her work.
