On Saturday October 8th, Maenad Collective - a recently established studio art space in Ridgewood, New York - will be sharing a series of 8mm films by artist and filmmaker Alex Faoro. The images, presented throughout the space, will be accompanied by live cello and sound processing by musician Alice Gerlach. There will also be a number of objects (related to the films), displayed amongst the projections; a shovel, an 8mm camera, a pile of dirt, a bucket of water.
After a decade in Greenpoint, Light Industry has moved to East Williamsburg: 361 Stagg Street, Suite 407. Our fall season begins in this new space, designed by AD-WO, with a selection of early films by Peter Tscherkassky. The works assembled here stand as some of the most vital cinematic experiments of the late 20th century, appealing, at once, to the eye through the virtuosity of their formal construction, and to the theoretical imagination through their rigorous conceptual strategies.
1966 - USA - 16mm film - B&W - 1.37:1 - 24i/s - mono - 70 minutes with a Bolex camera and Edie Sedgwick - There are beings who catch the camera and the eye no matter what they do, and even if they do nothing. It's inborn. A gift? Edie, Andy's alter ego, is never "in performance"; she moves all the time, her face and body; the mobility of her expressions never ceases to amaze. A face. A face is a storm, a landscape: the cornerstone of cinema.

Bookmarks of Discomfortis a series of screenings/presentations to bring together artists, creators who address the idea of discomfort through visual, aural, physical and textual monographs. Often we confront our true selves, an assertive voice of being through uncomfortable situations, circumstances, crisis or struggle. Unfortunately, those moments of discomfort are often grounded on the societal hegemonic, both explicit and implied codes of being, behaving, experiencing, understanding, and interpreting.
