    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.

    Reheasal for "Subverted Horseplay" by Bradley Eros & Jeanne Liotta (1994-97) – Courtesy of the artists

    Artists Bradley Eros and Jeanne Liotta, former partners in art and life, reunite to perform together for the first time in over fifteen years. 

    In “Subverted Horseplay” (1994-97), the last performance work of their nearly decade-long collaboration Mediamystics, the mythology of Cowboys and Indians as derived from Hollywood movies and other mass media is subverted through manipulations of the projectors and other interventions that as described by the artists alter and result in the opening of “these fixed iconic pictures to a shifting resonance within their cultural reception”.

  • Dreamlands: Expanded - Takahiko Iimura / Joel Schlemowitz

    By on
    Joel Schlemowitz, “Kannon, The Goddess of Mercy”, 2016

    The 1981 performance “Circle and Square” by Takahiko Iimura, New York-based Japanese film and video pioneer, evolved from the artist’s interest in exposing the apparatus of projection and the materiality of image and light begun in the mid-60s. The work commences with the projection of a long loop of black 16mm film leader suspended from the ceiling. The artist punches a hole on the film’s surface and as it loops through the projector’s gate, a single white circle of light pierces the darkness. With each subsequent punch the film builds before the viewer’s eyes into a cascade of white circles before reaching its abrupt and revelatory conclusion.

  • Dreamlands Expanded: Barbara Hammer - Evidentiary Bodies

    By on
    Barbara Hammer, Evidentiary Bodies

    Artist and queer cinema pioneer Barbara Hammer premieres her new performance and multi-disciplinary work “Evidentiary Bodies”.

    Armed with portable, fixed and live projectors and cameras, the artist moves about the space projecting video onto inflated balloons, photographic prints, x-ray scans of her own body, as well as onto the bodies of the audience members. One person extends to many and many people extend to one, challenging the concept of the proscenium screen and the stable audience. The performance also includes live sound by Norman Scott Johnson on cello.

    Kurt Schwerdtfeger, "Reflektorische Farblichtspiele"

    Performed by Lary 7, Bradley Eros, Rachael Guma, Joel Schlemowitz

    In 1922 at the home of Vassily Kandinsky, a then 25-year-old artist and student Kurt Schwerdtfeger debuted his “Reflektorishe Farblichtspiele (Reflecting Color-Light-Play)”, which in recent years has received wider recognition as a groundbreaking work of the Bauhaus movement and of 20th century film and sculpture. The piece consisting of several movements utilizes a large hand-built cube projection apparatus in which performers activate cardboard shapes and a switchboard of colored lights to form a complex, abstract light play appearing on its screen surface.
