*LESLIE THORNTON: BEGIN AGAIN, AGAIN*
Thornton’s List Center exhibition marks the artist’s first US solo museum
exhibition and most comprehensive presentation to date. The exhibition will
premiere a new video work, *Hemlock *(2021), as well as a new installation
of Thornton’s influential cycle *Peggy and Fred in Hell* (1983–2015).

In a career spanning nearly five decades, Leslie Thornton has produced an
influential body of work in film and video. Her early encounters with
experimental, structuralist, and cinéma vérité traditions as a student in
the 1970s fueled her iconoclastic take on the moving image and gave shape
to her practice of weaving together her own footage and voice with archival
film and audio. In part through her forceful and dynamic use of sound,
Thornton exposes the limits of language and vision in her works, while
acknowledging the ways that language and vision nevertheless remain central
to scientific discourse and narrative in general. Engaging these themes
within a focused survey, Thornton’s List Center exhibition will mark the
artist’s first US solo museum exhibition and most comprehensive
presentation to date.

The relationship between technology, power, and violence is an enduring
concern for Thornton. In early works, such as *X-TRACTS* (1975), *All Right
You Guys* (1976) and *Jennifer, Where Are You?* (1981), Thornton contends
with the basic conditions of representation in film and how the camera
itself wields power. In *Let Me Count the Ways* (2004–ongoing) and *Cut
>From Liquid to Snake* (2018), Thornton takes up the United States’ history
of nuclear warfare—a subject fraught with personal resonance for her, as
both her father and grandfather were involved in the Manhattan Project, the
top-secret effort that produced the atomic bombs that the U.S. dropped on
Japan in the final days of World War II. A touchstone of experimental
film, *Peggy
and Fred in Hell *is a multi-chapter work that surfaces the Cold War-era
anxieties that shaped Thornton’s formative years and plumbs the
psychological impact of technology in postwar America. Thornton’s recent
film *Ground* (2020) embeds the voice of a physicist discussing particle
decay within elegant yet foreboding technological landscapes. The
exhibition’s title, *Begin Again, Again*—borrowed from a line in *Peggy and
Fred in Hell*—alludes to human-made cycles of destruction and renewal as
well the hallmarks of Thornton’s practice: an accumulation and repetition
of images and language and a radically open-ended approach to observing,
processing, and understanding.

Thornton’s exhibition is organized by Natalie Bell, Curator, MIT List
Visual Arts Center. In conjunction with the exhibition, the List Center is
co-publishing the artist’s first monograph with Sternberg Press.

*Jonas Mekas 100!*
In 2022, the world and Lithuania celebrate the life and work of Jonas
Mekas, one of the country’s most prominent cultural figures of the 20th and
21st centuries and a global cultural phenomenon in his own right,
considered by many to be the “godfather of avant-garde cinema”.

Throughout his life, Mekas always emphasized and cherished his Lithuanian
roots. After fleeing the foreign occupation of his native land, he arrived
in New York City, in his own words “at exactly the right moment”, joining
thousands of others escaping the devastation wrought by destructive
ideologies and tyrannical regimes in Europe. One might say that Mekas left
one village, his native Semeniškiai in northern Lithuania, and immersed
himself in the life of another – the Village thriving in and around lower
Manhattan, and in its landmark publication, the Village Voice, helping to
shape American and global culture so profoundly in the latter half of the
20th century.

This centennial celebration, Jonas Mekas 100!, seeks to expand global
recognition of his work and encourage a deeper exploration of Mekas’
prolific contributions to cinema, film criticism, cultural organization,
and, in particular, his body of poems and prose, now published in
Lithuanian, French, German, English, Japanese, Hebrew, and many other
languages.

The centennial program features over 50 events in an expanding list of
countries, including: Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece,
Israel, Italy, Lithuania, Norway, Poland, South Korea, Sweden, Taiwan,
Ukraine, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The vast scope of
Mekas’ contribution to global cultural is examined through film screenings
and retrospectives, exhibitions, readings, workshops, new publications and
translations of Mekas’ writings, and concerts celebrating the spirit of his
work, among other events.

The centennial program is a joint international collaboration between
leading art and cinema organisations, curators, publishers, the global
network of Lithuanian cultural attachés, the Estate of Jonas Mekas, and the
Lithuanian Culture Institute.

National Gallery of Art, Konstitucijos pr.22, Vilnius, Lithuania
*Jonas Mekas and the New York Avant-Garde*
The exhibition presents Jonas Mekas' (1922-2019) work in the expanded
sense. It covers his filmic practice as well as his intellectual,
organizational, and often bluntly administrative approach to the labour of
building and running multiple institutions and fostering new habits of
looking at film as an art form. The exhibition focuses on the first three
decades of Mekas' activities, starting with his coming to New York as a
displaced person in 1949, through to him becoming a central figure in
advocating, producing, distributing, promoting, and preserving the filmic
avant-garde.

The exhibition features Mekas' filmic corpus, including his celebrated
diary films that epitomize his lifelong practice of recording glimpses of
everyday life: while they show personal experiences, marked by exile,
longing, family, and friendships, they are also steeped in the social and
political events of the day. Though known primarily as a poet and a
filmmaker in Lithuania, Mekas wore many more hats that granted him the
title of the 'godfather' of American avant-garde cinema. Before premiering
his first film, Mekas together with his brother Adolfas Mekas began
publishing *Film Culture* magazine in 1955 and soon joined the *Village
Voice* as a film critic. These became the main outlets through which Mekas
channeled his ideas about film as an art form of personal expression and
called for a new kind of cinema free from censorship and existing
production and distribution systems.

An alternative arts movement sprang up across New York in the postwar
years, as artist-run spaces, groups, and cooperatives took the production
and distribution of art into their own hands in response to mainstream
institutional structures and official cultural politics. Mekas had been a
crucial part of it. By the mid-1960s, Mekas' loft at 414 Park Avenue South
became a headquarters for the fermenting avant-garde film culture; a
sleepless hub frequented by filmmakers and artists alike. This decade
marked Mekas' embrace of the avant-garde spirit, as he took part in the
formation of the New American Cinema Group, and the establishment of the
Film-Makers' Cooperative, the Filmmakers' Cinematheque, and Anthology Film
Archives. These time-consuming activities occasionally seeped into his
filmic diaries and even, as Mekas suggested, to some degree determined his
films' fragmentary structure. They are presented in the exhibition through
a selection of critical writings, photographs, magazines, institutional
ephemera, and other archival material arranged in porous conceptual
clusters on the table traversing the exhibition space. Images, sounds, and
materials Mekas collected and organized throughout his lifetime - in his
films and in his personal archive - serve today as an entry point into the
history of avant-garde film culture in New York.

The exhibition pays tribute to this era of the burgeoning American
avant-garde film scene and contextualizes Mekas' output by presenting a
selection of works by filmmakers who shared his aesthetic sensibility, whom
he championed, and with whom he worked, including Gideon Bachmann, Stan
Brakhage, Shirley Clarke, Maya Deren, Storm de Hirsch, Ken Jacobs, Marie
Menken, Carolee Schneemann, Paul Sharits, Jack Smith, and Andy Warhol. A
selection of films is screened behind the curved wall in the specially
designed projection rooms. These rooms are loosely inspired by the
Invisible Cinema, an experimental movie theater designed by the Austrian
artist and filmmaker Peter Kubelka and originally installed at Anthology
Film Archives in 1970.

*Shadows and Light: Six Film Portraits from LIFT members, 1981-2001*
In April of 2021, the Liaison of Independent Filmmakers of Toronto (LIFT)
marked our 40th anniversary. It was a quiet celebration during a tumultuous
pandemic year. But since then we have been looking back and taking stock of
the LIFT’s legacy as a resource and community hub for the filmmakers who
have passed through our doors. This free VOD program digs into work LIFT
members made during the 1980s and 1990s. The six films that make up the
program are varied in style, tone and form, but they aged incredibly well,
connected by their timely quality and gentle handling of eclectic subject
matter.

The program will include: *A Private Patch of Blue*, Tracy German, 1998; *Do
Nothing*, Ruba Nadda, 1997; *David Roche Talks to You About Love*, Jeremy
Podeswa, 1983; *Exposure*, Michelle Mohabeer, 1990; *Silent Song*, Elida
Schogt, 2001; *City of Dreams*, Jorge Manzano and Marcel Commanda, 1995

*The Persistence of Resistance in the Actualization of Memories From the
Past*
In a Benjaminian manner, the films in this section awaken images of the
past with redemptive potential in the present. Redemption translates to the
possibility of resistance. These are the images that will not go away, that
persist and insist on haunting the present.

*A Comedy of Sabotage, A discussion on Anita Thacher’s Loose Corner*
A conversation with Tony Pipolo, Inney Prakash, and Phyllis Rosenzweig
centers around Thacher’s 16mm film installation *Loose Corner* (1980-86) as
well as a series of related photographs - using similar optical processes,
sets and cast of characters shot in 1980 - currently on view at Microscope.
The installation is being shown for the first time as a rear 16mm
projection installation as was originally conceived and with new prints
following its preservation by The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and
Sciences.

As curators, scholars and/or writers who have engaged with Thacher’s works
over the years, the three participants will offer rare insights into the
works on view, her recurring explorations of the domestic realm and their
feminist undertones, and her inspirations such as surrealism and the magic
of cinema and photography, among others. The exhibition continues through
Saturday January 29th.

A Q&A with the audience via live chat follows the approximately 45-minute
discussion.

*FILM SCREENING + LIVE PERFORMANCE: BEFOREANDAFTER*
A group show of experimental film and video artists that explore the notion
of before-and-after a memorable event in relation to their work. Does the
“after” mirror the “before” or is the reflection completely different? Each
artist responds to the question in a different way. This group screening
reflects on a binary aspect of ‘before and after’ an event, trauma,
pandemic, or “just” the passage of time, and the way it influences the
cinematic narrative as well as the artist’s reading of the concept itself.

*This Radiant World: Lines of Force: Moving Forward and Standing Still*
The six works in this program act in counterpoint to each other—some are
focused on stasis, pausing, and contemplation; others on movement,
progression, building, and speed. James N. Kienitz Wilkins’s *Best Year
Ever *is a pause, a breather, a nostalgic turn to the past in a complicated
year in which Richard Scarry’s animal protagonists are social creatures
exploring their world; the irony is not lost. In Bill Morrison's *Wild Girl*,
actress Eva Tanguay is trapped in deteriorating film emulsion, struggling
to get free. Thai filmmaker Apichatpong Weerasethakul takes a micro-look at
the insect life gathering on a bed during lockdown in *Night Colonies*,
while a house is never a home in Janie Geiser’s enigmatic animation *22
Light-Years*. The simple action in David Haxton’s *Bringing Lights Forward*--a
series of lights are brought nearer to the camera in stages--is transformed
by shooting in black and white and printing in negative; structural and
performative qualities are subsumed by a spectral materiality. Finally,
Austrian experimental film master Peter Tscherkassky creates a vortex of
35mm speed and motion in his propulsive *Train Again*. (digital, 16mm, and
35mm, 77 min.)
