Double Halves: double projection film works by 5 artists [1]
Microscope presents an evening of new and recent double projection works for 16mm film and 35mm film slides by Josh Guilford, Sarah Halpern, Bruce McClure, Lívia Sá, and Audra Wolowiec.
The varied works in “Double Halves” utilize two projections to form a whole – although not literally – with each side complementing the other or serving as a part of a single narrative, visual composition, or projection apparatus. Some of the works are projected with a prerecorded soundtrack, others include more performative elements and/or a live sound accompaniment.
In contemplating the works by the five artists, we have tumbled deep into the rabbit hole where we are now asking ourselves whether double projection is the more logical presentation of a medium in which it could be argued that duality is ever present. The celluloid film itself has a head and a tail; the projection (usually) requires two reels, feed and take up; in theaters films are loaded on and projected from two projectors to avoid downtime for reel changes; etc. Is double projection two projections or one divided in half?
Artists will be attendance and available for Q&A following the program.

Microscope Gallery [5]
Microscope Gallery was founded in 2010 by artists and curators Elle Burchill and Andrea Monti and is located in the Bushwick area of Brooklyn, NY. The gallery specializes in the works of moving image, sound, digital and performance artists - from the emerging to pioneers of their art forms - through exhibitions and weekly events. Microscope addresses the unnecessary divide between the white box setting of the gallery and black box of the screening/performance venue. It was conceived as a place where artists working with these time-based arts can show their works in one or the other or both contexts according to their artistic intent. Alongside its regular exhibition schedule, Microscope presents a weekly event series complementing and expanding the curatorial programming through screenings, performance, readings and lectures. From its original micro-sized 4 Charles Place location, in September 2014 the gallery moved to a larger space at 1329 Willoughby Avenue, Brooklyn NY.
In 2021 Microscope relocated to its current space at 525 West 29th Street in New York.
