BLITZ #8: Burn

By Marcos Ortega on Wed, 17/01/2018 - 03:15

A programme curated by Alison Nguyen

A screening series of film and video artists who employ modes of appropriation, dematerialization, and electronic signal manipulation in their moving image works. These pieces subvert the visual codes of mass media, repositioning material such as commercials, pornography, and Hollywood films. In burning contemporary archives, these artists create new texts that challenge our way of seeing dominant social constructs.

For the 10th and final event of "Dreamlands: Expanded", a series of expanded cinema events organized by Microscope in collaboration with the Whitney Museum of American Art as part of the exhibition "Dreamlands: Immersive Cinema and Art, 1905-2016", we are thrilled to present a new multi-projection and sound performance "The Owl Flies at Twilight" composed by the Optipus collective & orchestra in its largest configuration to date featuring 28 artists.

New York collective or “media laboratory” Optipus, led by Bradley Eros, hints at the historic demise of analog media and the wisdom resulting from this awareness in their new work titled “The Owl Flies at Twilight”, referencing G.W.F. Hegel’s famous quote.

Processed: To Each Their Own Image

By Marcos Ortega on Mon, 05/12/2016 - 06:12

At a time when images are increasingly subject to digital processing through a multiplicity of technologies and formats, artists are confronted by a plethora of visual and expressive possibilities. The 16mm films and videos by New York artists assembled for this programme present personal ways of chemically or digitally manipulating moving images.

Film, Paper, Sound: Performance works by Sarah Halpern

By Marcos Ortega on Tue, 10/11/2015 - 09:57

Microscope Gallery is very pleased to present an evening of moving image and sound performance works by Sarah Halpern in connection with her current solo exhibit "The Changing Room".

The artist's 35mm film strip and vocal performance pieces in "Film, Paper, Sound" reflect themes of transformation, dualism, and the differences in individual perception and are related to the works on view at the gallery. In the new 35mm film strip projection collage "Watch" Halpern correlates time to magic tricks combining images from clippings about Houdini's graphic notes explaining how certain tricks are performed, recent pocket watch collector's catalogues, and fragments of texts from books about early cinema technology. The second piece "Strip" is a projection through a complete molted snake skin, which the artist found in a garden, stretched across a film strip.

Peephole Cinema: Spacetime Singularities

By Marcos Ortega on Thu, 23/07/2015 - 03:19

New works by Bradley Eros, Sarah Halpern, Andrew Lampert
Guest curated by Elle Burchill and Andrea Monti (Microscope Gallery, Brooklyn)

Spacetime Singularities is a program of new moving image works made for the occasion of Peephole Cinema by Bradley Eros, Sarah Halpern and Andrew Lampert. The works, hand shot by each artist in the darkness – of a cave, a nightclub and on the streets of NYC in the wee morning hours – collapse sensations and sounds into a single focus viewing experience in which stalactites appear as sonograms, Kenneth Anger conducts a ceremony on the theremin, and liquid nitrogen tanks become ticking time bombs in the city’s rain-slicked streets. – EB & AM
