“The more real a thing it is, the more mysterious it becomes.” Jack Chambers

Early Monthly Segments is pleased to host the launch of three small books by Barbara Sternberg. Every Day 1, 2, 3 looks at the process of living and the process of filmmaking—how the quotidian influences the creative practice and how one moves from the real world to the imaginative world of artmaking. The launch will be accompanied by a short screening of four films followed by a discussion on the relation between filmmaking and book-making.

Janie Geiser is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice includes performance, film, installation, and visual art. Geiser’s work is known for its recontextualization of abandoned images and objects, its embrace of artifice, and its sense of suspended time. Her work involves elliptical narratives, sublime use of superimpositon, and rich approach to collage.

“Geiser gives voice to the reaches of the unconscious, pointing to the abandoned splendor that exists prior to the rules of society and language.” —Holly Willis, Res, 2004
