  • The Word Was Deleted

    By on

    “Heartbeat creates the scope. Space inside the eye. We are nerve endings of a large retina. Perception is corpuscular and wavelike. The word was deleted. Light and sound are frequencies, and thought is communicated tactilely. Light, color, shapes, intervals, resonances, moving sympathies till the conversion and fusion…” —José Val del Omar (undated)

  • Found Sounds: Barbara Meter’s Avant-Garde Films

    By on
    Convalescing (Barbara Meter, 2000)

    In the early 1970s, Dutch filmmaker Barbara Meter co-founded the Electric Cinema, to present and produce independent and avant-garde film. She made fiction films, political documentaries, and then moved to avant-garde film, pushing the medium forward with her unique way of repurposing documents and audio recordings, and with an innovative, masterful application of optical printing techniques. Meter manipulates the images and reworks found sounds to find and create a personal expressive mode. With film prints lovingly restored by the EYE Filmmuseum in Amsterdam, FOUND SOUNDS is the first comprehensive retrospective of Barbara Meter’s avant-garde films in the United States.

    Organized and introduced by guest curator Mónica Savirón.

  • A Matter of Visibility: International Avant-Garde and Artists’ Cinema

    By on
    Reportage ! (Rei Hayama, 2015)

    Introduced by guest curator Mónica Savirón.

    This program presents new experimental films and videos not yet shown in New York, in conversation with rarely seen works by avant-garde masters such as Lis Rhodes and Chantal Akerman. These artistic views have the ability to enhance our perception through symbolism, transformation, and a keen sense of creative freedom. By shifting cinematic, private, gendered, financial, and geographical priorities, what is usually absent becomes present. These works are meditations on the act of looking, visual poems in which imposed narratives get rejected or argued against. Words, forms, and depictions of any kind are broken apart to explore and expose the language of cinema. For these artists, making films is like “writing on burning paper” (Pier Paolo Pasolini, Heretical Empiricism, 1967).
