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. *Exhibition Brochure with list of works exhibited*: https://listart.mit.edu/sites/default/files/MIT_List-Thornton_Brochure_2021.pdf <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=3bd87ab6f7&e=857b71a9cb> *___________________________________________________________________* *November 1 - January 25, 2023* Venue type: *Both physical and online* Jonas Mekas 100! <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=3562192605&e=857b71a9cb> times and locations vary, see below Event URL: https://jonasmekas100.com/ <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=d859f357fe&e=857b71a9cb> *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. *___________________________________________________________________* *November 20 - February 26* Venue type: *Live, physical event* National Gallery of Art, Vilnius <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=bb62dabd79&e=857b71a9cb> times vary, 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. *Curators:* Inesa Brašiškė and Lukas Brašiškis an article: https://arterritory.com/en/visual_arts/events/25859-jonas_mekas_and_the_new_york_avant-garde/ <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=4ac7b0271a&e=857b71a9cb> *___________________________________________________________________* *February 1 - 28* Venue type: *Virtual, online event* aCinema <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=3add37779b&e=857b71a9cb> streaming 24/7, Event URL: https://www.acinema.space/current-program <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=9b7d536478&e=857b71a9cb> *aCinema: Transpareidolia* Sebastian Ziegler • *skeletonized espresso machine fountain* • 6 minutes 30 seconds Violeta Mora • *Impossible to Find Something Looking* • 8 minutes 30 seconds Leah Beeferman • *The Elements* • 34 minutes Teja Miholič • *So That Humanity Can Survive* • 6 min 32 seconds aCinema is a monthly exhibition dedicated to the screening of works by moving image artists from around the globe for audiences during the 9 month period of September to May. aCinema also organizes a yearly festival programmed from an open call for works titled, aDifferent festival.

An initiation to different possibilities of manual intervention of celluloid, particularly the subtraction of the emulsion from the treatment of found film in 16mm (found footage), transparent film and opaque film. This workshop focuses on the development of understanding and sensitivity towards the materiality and substance of analog film and its relationship with other visual arts. It is a practical workshop based on the direct and material experience of manual creation on celluloid. The workshop will bring participants into contact with different types of film in cinematographic format (16mm, super8 and 8mm), the origin and development of light projection and the moving image, and the main objective of this workshop is to create a small collective experimental piece in 16mm, handmade and handcrafted by the participants. Participants are welcome to bring their own films if they wish. Otherwise, the workshop will provide all the necessary materials for its realization. *What will be covered?* – Discover the possibilities and uses of different film formats already filmed and developed. – Screen in Super8 and 16mm – Discover methods of intervention and plastic techniques on film. – Processes for the lifting, manipulation and transfer of emulsion. The workshop will focus on some processes that can be found in Cécile Fontaine’s films, in collaboration with the program that Xcèntric (CCCB) is dedicating to the filmmaker on Sunday, March 6. Participants will have a free ticket for the Xcèntric program on Cécile Fontaine on March 6, 2022. *Practical information* Date and time: Saturday 5, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m., and Sunday 6, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Place: Hangar Price: 60 €.

It is as if I had moved from a concern with the life of a fish, to a concern with the sea which accounts for the character of the fish and its life. And *RITUAL* pulls back even further, to a point of view from which the external world itself is but an element in an entire structure and scheme of metamorphosis: the sea itself changes because of the larger changes of the earth. *RITUAL* is about the nature and process of change.” –Maya Deren Total running time: ca. 55 min. *MONDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 2022* *February 7 - 28* Venue type: *Virtual, online event* Duo Strangloscope <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=bcdb158703&e=857b71a9cb> Mondays in February, Event URL: https://www.facebook.com/667568086/posts/10158685710498087/?sfnsn=mo <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=39de0c6853&e=857b71a9cb> *Artistic Processes and Cinematic Techniques Workshop* We are opening registrations for Duo Strangloscope's Artistic Processes and Cinematic Techniques Workshop which will be held on 07, 14, 21 and 28/2 every Monday.

Many of the films comment directly or indirectly on the anxieties and uncertainty of the past two years; others serve as joyful and playful counterpoints. Together, they demonstrate the continuing richness of experimental cinema, the history of which is exemplified by this selection of lesser-known works that are overdue for rediscovery and reappraisal. Change and the possibility of change are the thread that ties this diverse group of films together: change of substance, of oneself, of the land, of the seasons, of consciousness. German artist Margaret Raspé turns domestic labor into performance art through the use of a helmet-mounted camera in *The Sadist Beats the Unquestionably Innocent*, while S. Pearl Sharp’s *Back Inside Herself*, starring Barbara-O (*Daughters of the Dust*), is a raw and moving exploration of individuality and Black female identity. In *For the Time Being*, Deborah Stratman’s “video letter” to artist Nancy Holt, landscape becomes art and place is imbued with magical possibility, and Montréal-based Japanese filmmaker Daïchi Saïto transforms the landscape of the Andes mountains into an increasingly abstract phantasmagoria of color, shape, and texture in the stunning 35mm film *earthearthearth*. Lois Patiño and Matías Piñeiro’s collaborative *Sycorax* moves the barely-mentioned witch in Shakespeare’s *The Tempest* to the center, rendering her visible but still unfixed, wandering in the wilderness, body-shifting in a filmed audition process, while Markus Maicher’s *Blätter im Herbst / Leaves in Autumn *is a delicate, lyrical study of light and movement.

Drawing entirely on archival materials, Stephens scrutinizes the traces left by these women with a movie camera, asking questions about gender and genre: what common subjects drew their eye? What social roles did they challenge, reproduce, or inhabit? What do these films say about the place of women in the economies of cinema and colonialism? Hearkening to the illustrated lectures of travel societies and 20th-century home movie projections, Stephens uses the live performance mode to reflect on the personal stakes of her inquiry as a traveler and filmmaker. The result is a film essay as moving as it is transporting.
