Xcèntric: Spiritual constructions

By Marcos Ortega on Mon, 28/11/2016 - 03:30

A programme of screenings to accompany the exhibition “The Thinking Machine. Ramon Llull and the «ars combinatoria»”

Before artists worked with computers, a series of avant-garde painters such as Oskar Fischinger, Harry Smith and Jordan Belson created a form of non-narrative film that addressed geometry, the possibilities of mathematic combinations, and spirituality. After these visionaries, artists like John Whitney embraced the new synthetic image medium to continue exploring abstract animation. Many artists have followed in their wake, up until the present day.

Geometry in motion

By Marcos Ortega on Thu, 07/02/2013 - 09:01
Geometry in motion
Wednesday, February 18 2013, 18h
Musée d'art moderne André Malraux
2, boulevard Clemenceau, 76600 Le Havre

A programme in resonance with the coming of the Centre Pompidou Mobile to Le Havre that will present "Circles and Squares," a selection of works about geometric abstraction.

Shortly after painting, cinema takes possession of abstraction in the first decades of the 20th century. After the first works (the chromatic music of the Italian Futurists, the colorful rhythms of Leopold Survage) it is in Germany where the first stream of abstract film develops.

Based on this historical avant-garde, this programme will provide an overview of geometry in motion along with American films and contemporary digital experimentation.

Programme:
- Rhythmus 21 (Hans Richter, 1921-23, 3’20, 16 mm, b&w)
- Symphonie Diagonale (Viking Eggeling, 1921-24, 7’00, 16 mm, b&w)
- Anémic cinéma (Marcel Duchamp, 1925-26, 2’00, 16 mm, b&w)
- Kreise (Oskar Fischinger, 1933, 2’00, 16 mm, colour)
- Squares (Oskar Fischinger, 1934, 5’00, 16 mm, colour)
- Radio dynamics (Oskar Fischinger, 1942, 4’00, 16 mm, colour)
- Matrix III (John Whitney, 1972, 11’00, 16 mm, colour)
- 69 (Robert Breer, 968, 5’00, 16 mm, colour)
- Get Set (Ian Helliwell, 2005, 3’25, video, colour)
- Machination (Lia, 2010, 5’43, video, colour)
- Star light n°5 bis (Cécile Fontaine, 2012, 5’55, video, colour)

Oskar Fischinger - Volume 1
The champion of absolute ideas in abstract experimental films, Fischinger\'s name is synonymous with the genre. This is a good mix of his films from his experiments with animating kaolin wax on glass to his beautiful later colour abstracts.
