In its twelfth edition and for the first time, FICUNAM presents UMBRALES (Thresholds), an exhibition dedicated to the freest and most radical expressions of the cinematographic avant-garde. 58 international and Mexican films, by renowned and emerging artists and filmmakers, allow tributes and revisions where milestones and classics of the genre coexist with the contemporary in permanent dialogue.
Fracto announces the focus of the 6th edition that will run between May 27-29, 2022 atAcud Kunsthalle, in Berlin. We are also extending the submission deadline for the selection!
Microscope is very pleased to present a rare evening of 16mm films by Katherine Bauer, Loïc Verdillon, and Joyce Lainé made at the Atelier MTK film lab in Grenoble, France, as well as a collective film by artists from MTK, L’Abominable (Paris, France), and Labo Brussels (Brussels, Belgium). The screening concludes with two live collaborative performance works for dual 16mm projection by Bauer and Verdillon, who are visiting from France.
Inscribed about artifacts are traces of human activity: gestures, gazes, textures, abrasions. These are the material and figurative qualities which produce historical potentiality. Functioning like spolia, remnant structural fragments used to erect new stone walls, they act as analytical units through which narrative is assembled, eroded and re-constructed.
Join us on Mon 7th March at 6:30pm GMT for the MIA Masterclass with Ceri Hand, founder of Artist Mentor, who will be speaking about the fundamentals of pricing and selling moving image work.
Ceri will discuss the factors to consider when pricing and editioning moving image, how to manage relationships with collectors, and comparative prices for bench-marking. This will be a candid and informative presentation with an opportunity to ask any questions.
CCJ is pleased to co-present with Lightbox Film Center three screening programs under the Japanese Experimental Animation project, curated by Go Hirasawa (2/19), Julian Ross (2/25), and Fusako Matsu (2/11). The final screening curated by Julian Ross features graphic designer Keiichi Tanaami, whose collection has been a focus of our research since 2018. The screening will include new digitizations of Tanaami’s She (1971) and Look at the Wood (1975), as well as Human Events (Ningen Moyō, 1975), which CCJ preserved in 2018. In the screening program, Ross places Tanaami’s works in conversation with contemporary works.
