  • AI Split Editions #1: Hollis Frampton, A Lecture/Bruce Mcclure, Know Thy Instrument

    Atelier Impopulaire Split #1 consists of an original text by Bruce McClure, an architect and performer based in New York. It is titled Know Thy Instrument, and based on a lecture given by Hollis Frampton on 30 October 1968, then published as A Lecture. Both with his text and projection performance, McClure aims at reflecting upon the body/technology dynamics, the relation with the whole projection apparatus, and the implications deriving from the removal of some of its parts. This all results in a modification of its mechanical structure, thus provoking a systemic abstraction of the obscurity/light duality in the guise of sound patterns.

  • Between the Black Box and the White Cube

    Today, the moving image is ubiquitous in global contemporary art. The first book to tell the story of the postwar expanded cinema that inspired this omnipresence, Between the Black Box and the White Cube travels back to the 1950s and 1960s, when the rise of television caused movie theaters to lose their monopoly over the moving image, leading cinema to be installed directly alongside other forms of modern art.

  • Worlds: Selected Works by Ben Rivers

    The British artist and filmmaker Ben Rivers is internationally renowned for creating a body of bold experimental docufictions that search for an escape from modern society. Rivers shoots in various film formats and film stocks, often using an old Bolex wind-up camera, and self-processes the films, giving the appearance of found, aged or archival footage.

    Breaking the conventional rules of documentary filmmaking, Rivers' films are evocative and sensory, and are an entirely unique personal vision.
