Microscope is very pleased to present a night of rare ephemeral cinema performance and films by Bradley Eros in connection with his current solo exhibition at the gallery “All that is solid melts into eros”, which is on view through April 22. The works in the program, spanning nearly two decades - from "eros.ion" (1999), a shutter-less Super8mm projection performance, to Eros' most recent and never-before-seen "Flick or Film" (2017) - revolve primarily around the artist's investigation of film as an ephemeral, physical medium and the ways of transforming it to in effect extend its life, including through collaging, spray paint, burning, burial, and various manually activated means of projection.

Among the other works in the program are Eros' new iteration of his 2002 "Aurora Borealis" a cinematic homage to Joseph Cornell and Jean Painlevé shown this time in its original 16mm format with live foley and electronics soundtrack by Rachael Guma and Gabriel Guma (aka Gestalt Tone Color); "Liquid Crystal" (2000), a film-less projection performance with light beams passing through cut crystal drinking glasses, lenses, whiskey and water; and one of Eros' best known works "burn (or, the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics)", a video in which a found Super8mm filmstrip of 1970s bondage porn burns frame-by-frame as it is pulled through a damaged projector to a soundtrack from Martin Scorsese’s Taxi Driver.

Eros will be available for Q&A following the screening and performance.

General admission $8
Members or students w/ ID $6
