Artist in person — Event in person only

Microscope is excited to present an in-person screening of films by Chicago-based artist and filmmaker Jean Sousa. This will be the first physical screening at the gallery of works by the artist — who previously appeared in an online only event in November 2020 — and will include the projection of several of her works in their original 16mm film format.

Microscope is very pleased to present a solo screening of films by Chicago-based filmmaker Paige Taul, with the artist in attendance. The event will take place both in person at the gallery and online, with a Q&A following the screening.

Taul's videos and their visual universe and language — as well as the balance of original and appropriated footage, analog film and video — are built upon what seem to be impromptu conversations between the artist and family members, which often constitute the entirety of the soundtrack of each work.

Q&A w/ Lynne Sachs - In Person only

Microscope is excited to welcome back to the gallery filmmaker and artist Lynne Sachs for a heartfelt tribute to Narcisa Hirsch in connection with Hirsch’s current exhibition at the gallery.

Microscope is pleased to welcome to the gallery artists and filmmakers Derek Jenkins and Sara Sowell, who are respectively based in Hamilton, Ontario, and Milwaukee, WI, for a screening of both of their works as part of our emerging series YES. The screening will also take place online.

The eight short works in the program, including several NY premieres, were made between 2016 and 2023 and were primarily filmed on 16mm film, with others shot on Super 8mm and video. The works will be screened on site in their original formats.
