Dear all, CVM is pleased to announce a new *Raumlichtkunst* exhibition, at ACMI (formerly the Australian Centre for the Moving Image) in Melbourne, Australia, which just opened February 11.
*Raumlichtkunst*, c. 1926/2012 Oskar Fischinger HD 3 screen installation Reconstruction by Center for Visual Music This exhibition presents one of the first multimedia projections ever made, Oskar Fischinger’s *Raumlichtkunst*, a reconstruction of his multiple-screen film events, first shown in Germany in 1926, and restored by the Center for Visual Music (CVM) in Los Angeles. Working with Fischinger’s original 1920s nitrate film, CVM restored the 35mm film via traditional photochemical processes, transferred it to HD, digitally restored the colour, and reconstructed this three-screen version of his performances. Originally accompanied by live avant-garde percussion, CVM chose two version of “Double Music” by John Cage and Lou Harrison, and “Ionisation” by Edgard Varèse. CVM’s film restoration was supported by an Avant-Garde Masters Grant funded by The Film Foundation, administered by The National Film Preservation Foundation (end museum blurb) Details: https://www.acmi.net.au/works/118035--raumlichkunst At present, only Australians and others living there now will be able to visit the new museum, until Australia opens its borders to other countries later this year. *Raumlichtkunst* is a looped installation, on view daily, for months. Previously, *Raumlichtkunst* was on view at the Whitney Museum, New York; Tate Modern, London; Palais de Tokyo, Paris; Govett-Brewster Art Gallery/Len Lye Centre, New Zealand; Weinstein Gallery SoMA, San Francisco; and QAG/GoMA, Brisbane.
