  • Jonas Mekas: 365 Day Project - Part One

    By on

    Artist in person

    Microscope Gallery is extremely pleased to announce the screening premiere of the complete "365 Day Project" by Jonas Mekas, a nearly 38-hour video project composed of 365 individual videos posted daily on his website in 2007. The work will be screened across twelve programs, one each month of 2015, with part one "January" launching the series on Friday January 30th.

    For "365", as the project is more commonly known, Mekas challenged himself to make and upload a video on his website every day for an entire year. Despite the occasional technical or emotional close call, Mekas persevered capturing snowstorms, friendly birds and squirrels, historical news reports, gathering with friends and lots of music both at home in Brooklyn and during his travels abroad, at times repurposing or incorporating previously unseen footage from his earlier 16mm films or analog videos.

  • Ernie Gehr: Framing urban ghosts

    By on

    Ernie Gehr (1941) is a key figure in American avant-garde cinema and the structural film movement, and he is undoubtedly one of the most influential and innovative artists of his generation. The film Serene Velocity, which he made in 1970 in the cellar corridors of Binghamton university, is a masterly synthesis of the conceptual and aesthetical preoccupations which even in his earliest films (Reverberation, 1969) tend to subvert a purely illusionist cinema by affirming the primacy of its elementary constituents. For over fifty years since then, Gehr has been deploying a genealogy of the photographic in cinema, no matter whether it is made on celluloid or digitally, and no matter whether it is screened in a theatre or as (part of) an installation. Gehr’s body of work therefore constitutes a homogeneous and consistent entity in which the artist, nourished by his observations of quotidian American urban landscapes (Winter Morning, 2013), his reflection on the obsessive nature of the photographic or cinematographic image, and the temporary nature of human life (A Commuter’s Life (What a Life!), 2014), purposefully articulates recurrent themes.

    Ernie Gehr will personally attend the presentation of this selection from his films which also includes some unreleased titles. The screening will be followed by a conversation between Ernie Gehr and Jonathan Pouthier of the Paris Centre Pompidou.

  • Xcèntric: Escuchando el espacio. Tres films de Robert Beavers

    By on

    Robert Beavers controla personalmente cada proyección de sus films, que son siempre una excepción: en esta sesión presentamos su última película en diálogo con Still Light y Sotiros, ambas extraordinarias de ver. Beavers tenía 16 años cuando conoció a Gregory Markopoulos, que entonces tenía 37 y ya era un cineasta reputado, quien le animó a dejar la escuela y empezar a filmar: juntos se irán poco después a Europa, donde Beavers compondría su búsqueda de la «filosófica majestad de la imagen»: «El poder perceptivo del espectador, liberado por los sentidos y no por la empatía dramática, empieza a comprender lo que compone el film y sus armonías…». La obra de Beavers es una meditación prodigiosa, de extrema meticulosidad, sutileza y emoción, sobre los procesos y materias del cine (el corte, la luz, la emulsión, el sonido): los gestos artesanales y manuales (de la jardinería o la música) se armonizan con los gestos del montaje, ampliando y poetizando la visibilidad de los mínimos eventos.

  • Stephanie Barber: a folding of risk and taker— DAREDEVILS

    By on

    Stephanie Barber in person

    Deeply philosophical, frequently humorous and deceptively simple in form, the films, video works, poetry and book projects of Stephanie Barber operate at the intersections of spoken, written, composed, conversational and incidental language, reflecting shifting experiential qualities and varying modes of address. Barber’s feature-length DAREDEVILS (2013) is a three-part narrative portrait of risk and intimacy, presenting an interview between a young writer and an admired artist as a reverberating life event and turning point. Writes Barber, "The classic rising action, climax and denouement are sculpted, not by cause and effect, but by the subtle movements to and from understanding that are inherent in conversation. Bubbles of intimacy are blown and popped, begin to be blown again."

  • Robert Nelson: On a thread

    By on

    Following the tradition of the west coast American independent filmmakers, Robert Nelson (1930-2012) has created a unique cinema profoundly marked by a corrosive humour and a subtle sense of self-mockery. Directed with his friend, the painter William Wiley, The Great Blondino (1967) pays an astonishing homage to the French tightrope walker Charles Blondin (XIX century) famous for having crossed the Niagara Falls on a wire. At the crossroads of European surrealism and popular American culture, the film of Robert Nelson is an invitation to a reverie with a tint of tragic absurdity. This portrayal of an uncertain universe - on the edge of consciousness and unconsciousness – is sharing with the enigmatic collage film by the American filmmaker Larry Jordan, Hamfat Asar (1965) a powerful poetry loaded with desires and death impulses.

    Screening introduced by Jonathan Pouthier (Centre Pompidou)

  • Gunvor Nelson: Hidden Worlds

    By on

    Born in Sweden, Gunvor Nelson (1931-) began her artistic career as a filmmaker in the mid-60s in San Francisco (USA). Major figure of the American West coast experimental film community, she has created an extraordinary filmic oeuvre, in which we can admire both the strangeness of her characters (Fog Pumas, 1967) and the poetic nature of her imaginary worlds (My Name is Oona, 1969) and the strength of her feminist commitments (Schmeerguntz, 1966). Since the 90s, Gunvor Nelson has lived and worked in Sweden where she continues through films, videos, paintings or installations, her exploration of the Swedish landscape and identity (Light Years, 1987).

    Screening introduced by Julie Savelli (from Paul Valery University - Montpellier III)
