    Evolution and Life of the Mind, Body, and Medium
    Curated by Brenda Contreras and Mallary Abel

    We are born, we grow, we experience a world of our own perceptions. We wonder who we’re becoming, we are influenced and we experiment. We become responsible for how we develop. We can change and reshape who we are and what we know by the powers we grant ourselves. This Cut and Run series focuses on cycles of minds, bodies, and filmstrips. Each work represents a perspective of itself as one, in contrast to others. Experience a cinematic evolution through cycles of the mind, body, and medium in this montage from filmmakers throughout the world.

    Prolific American artist and filmmaker Robert Breer was pivotal in merging cinema and collage, mechanics and sculpture.

    “A founding member of the American avant-garde, Robert Breer (b.1926) has been working at the forefront of experimental animation for over fifty years. The son of an inventor and engineer, Breer’s continued experimentation with a range of film and animation techniques has drawn from his deep knowledge of early cinema and cinematographic technologies. Breer is celebrated not only for his remarkable line and live action techniques, but also for fabulous collage films and his dazzling use of single-frame photography.” (Harvard Film Archive)
