Welcome to a screening with the Basel-based filmmaker and artist Hannes Schüpbach. Since the 1990’s, Schüpbach has created a dynamic work focusing on the fine-calibrated changes of the gestures, landscapes, bodies and light. In his 16mm films, we often encounter a peculiar movement between spontaneity, intimacy and a progestically fragmented work in which, as he expressed it—the “the surroundings meet the eye” — crystallizes a form that is unmistakable Schüpbachsk.
As part of the Subtropics 2025 Marathon at the Deering Estate Black Box Theater, Miami-based artist Barron Sherer premieres Sketch No. 2 Fire Station No. 9. This two-channel 16mm projection layers temporal and spatial impressions of the historic Kendall Jackson Hospital Annex with a sound composition by Archival Feedback. Produced by Sherer's Moving Image Alliance studio project and fiscally sponsored by Miami-Dade County Art in Public Places as part of Sherer's ongoing A.P.P. commission, "Sketch No. 2" is also now distributed through Canyon Cinema.

This program offers critical perspectives on images through the materials whose intimacy these films explore.

Real-time cartographic improvisations using projected, manipulated digital maps by Eric Theise, in collaboration with Ed Osborn’s real-time wrangling of live electronics and saturated field recordings. A visual wash of street grids, land masses, water bodies, and curiosities from built and natural environments. Resonant openings and switchbacks. Orphaned labels. Free-floating symbology. Difference tones and untethered drones. Saturated colors and the subtlest of tints. Jittery zooms, pans, and traversals. Noisy apertures and sonic fissures.
AV CLUB: Silent Cinema Scored: Remixé et remodelé (needle vs Man Ray) is a program that pairs seminal silent-era films by Man Ray from the Miami-Dade Public Library Collection, with original sound scores performed live by Miami's legendary firebrand of sound, 'needle,' featuring Edward Bobb and Brom Lee.
