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. *___________________________________________________________________* *March 2022 - Fall 2022* Venue type: *Live, physical event* Denver Museum of Nature & Science <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=03dce188b6&e=857b71a9cb> open during Museum hours, The Summit Stage and Expedition Health, Denver Museum of Nature & Science, 2001 Colorado Blvd, Denver, CO *REFRESH: *CYANOBACTERIA OFFER PERSPECTIVE ON OURSELVES This art-science collaboration looks at the microscopic ways cyanobacteria move, on an individual level and in colonies. If we study these organisms and their varied forms, we might discover ways to improve our future. On display at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science in the Summit Stage and Expedition Health, March 2022 - Fall 2022 The cells in your body take in oxygen and sweep out waste products like carbon dioxide (CO2). Microscopic cyanobacteria use photosynthesis to work in reverse, breathing in CO2 and pumping out oxygen. Three billion years ago, cyanobacteria created Earth’s oxygenfilled atmosphere, supporting the evolution of creatures like us. Today, they provide one-quarter of the planet’s oxygen, and cyanobacteria like spirulina provide us with food. Researchers believe that cyanobacteria —which need only sunlight, CO2, and water to thrive— could offer solutions to our changing climate. They might help reduce CO2 on a grand scale, contribute to biofuel production, and support long-term space travel. This diverse group of organisms offers a symbolic warning as well: when colonies of cyanobacteria become too dense or stressed, they can run out of nutrients or be destroyed by their own air pollution. Made with the collaborative efforts of filmmaker Erin Espelie and the Jeffrey Cameron Laboratory at the University of Colorado Boulder, which created a customized microscope system specifically tailored for long-term growth and quantitative imaging of cyanobacterial cells; with special thanks to microbiologist and cinematographer Evan Johnson and artists Nima Bahrehmand, Travis Austin, Will Alstetter, as well as NEST Studio for the Arts. *___________________________________________________________________* *March 29 - June 19* Venue type: *Live, physical event* George Eastman Museum <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=3086b53b06&e=857b71a9cb> Tue-Sat,10-5pm + Sun 11-5pm ET, Multipurpose Hall, George Eastman Museum, 900 East Avenue, Rochester, NY *JODIE MACK: MATTER MATTERS* The George Eastman Museum is pleased to present selected experimental animated films by Jodie Mack (UK, b. 1983), an artist who has developed a remarkable filmmaking style that provides new perspectives on a variety of familiar materials. Mack’s subjects often include captivating decorative objects and vintage, ornate textiles. Her films invite viewers to contemplate the objects’ significance and the nature of disposability. Mack often works with a Bolex camera and 16mm film, and her films explode with dizzying displays of colors, shapes, and patterns. While her mastery of traditional stop-motion animation technique is highly precise and sometimes abstract, Mack’s films have a joyful, handmade quality that radiates humor and human warmth. The following film descriptions are provided by the artist. A program of four animated short films. Originally shot in 16mm the films will be screened digitally in this presentation on a loop (21 min. total) during museum hours. *Posthaste Perennial Pattern* (US 2010, 4 min.). Rapid-fire florals and morning birdsong bridge interior and exterior, design and nature. *Blanket Statement #1: Home is Where the Heart is* (US 2012, 3 min.). Discordant dysfunction down to the nitty-gritty. *Blanket Statement #2: All or Nothing* (US 2013, 4 min.). A battle of extreme extremes. *Something Between Us* (US 2015, 10 min.). A choreographed motion study for twinkling trinkets: costume jewelry and natural wonders join forces to perform plastic pirouettes, dancing a luminous lament until the tide comes in. *___________________________________________________________________* *April 8 - September 11* Venue type: *Live, physical event* The New England Triennial <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=adda08bfb4&e=857b71a9cb> see below for hours, deCordova Sculpture Park & Museum, Lincoln, MA + Fruitlands Museum, Harvard, MA *The New England Triennial* The New England Triennial 2022 recognizes the vitality of contemporary art across the Northeast amid the recent years of upheaval and transformation. Spanning two museum venues—deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum and Fruitlands Museum—this year’s iteration features artwork by twenty-five artists from Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont. Prioritizing change over stability, many of the artists’ practices involve processes of unmaking and remaking—patching things together, dissecting, and rebuilding forms using discarded parts. Their collective artistry reveals interconnected tendencies: a focus on kinship and ancestral lineages; a search for one’s place in the world; the visualization of data; themes of ruin and decay, and processes of alchemical transmutation. Artists in this exhibition grapple with difficult and unjust moments of history and contemporary life. Some employ generations-old creative traditions in poetic, passionate, and informed ways. Altogether, their work unearths hidden energies and stories surfacing at a time defined by change and resilience. Since 1989, the New England Triennial (formerly known as the deCordova New England Biennial) has been a mainstay of deCordova’s programming and mission, exemplifying the museum’s commitment to contemporary art of the Northeast region. For the first time, this upcoming cycle will span two museum venues, deCordova and Fruitlands, expanding the platform for this highly-anticipated survey of art making in New England. We hope you will visit both locations to appreciate the exhibition’s full scope. deCordova Artists Elizabeth Atterbury, Ann Craven, Jeremy Frey, Merik Goma, Kate Greene, Meena Hasan, Baxter Koziol, Jodie Mack, Anina Major, Marla McLeod, Elle Pérez, Estefania Puerta, Allison Maria Rodriguez, Em Rooney, Michelle Segre, Nafis M.

Loop of Fear. Solo Show* Loop of Fear turns to the subject of fear in society, which is particularly relevant today, after two years of the pandemic and the current horrors of the war in Ukraine. Fear has always existed in a variety of gradations and forms: fear of the unknown, fear of the dark, fear of the enemy, fear of death. Since the beginnings of mankind fear has been both a driving force for humanity and a stumbling block. It is an instinctive force that has made humanity form communities for safety and shelter from the danger that is lurking in darkness. The fear of death has compelled civilisations to build temples and for people to dedicate their lives to preparing society for the afterlife. Likewise, the medium of analogue photography and analogue cinema, which Ieva Balode uses in this exhibition, embodies this same fear – the fear to lose and forget what once took place or was alive. It is the propensity to make the world immortal, the propensity to freeze time in a capsule for eternity, which, through the lens of the camera, leaves an instant's impression on the light-sensitive surface of the film. Here light serves as a record on the surface of a film, which, by dispelling darkness in the body of the camera, captures what is in front of it through the glass of the lens, similar to the human eye. The exhibition presents 16 mm film loops and spatial image projections. Their mechanical nature interacts with the architecture of the space to create a slight sense of alarm, reminding us of the fragility and mortality of the material world. The exposition gives visitors the opportunity to become familiar with the photochemical film stock as a kinetic object which, together with several other analogue projectors, illuminate the museum's gallery in a different light. About the artist Ieva Balode is an artist and analogue film activist who works with analogue film and image. She earned her BA and MA from the Department of Visual Communication at the Art Academy of Latvia. Her interest in analogue media resides in its relationship to nature, memory and human perception.

Such an event should be celebrated in the best possible way. Light Cone has come together thanks to the filmmakers whose films entered the collection over the years. We’ve decided to invite them to participate in an editorial project, a book in which we would publish their contributions: letters, postcards, photographs, drawings, film stills, collages, etc., which they have sent us for the occasion of the anniversary. A collective scrapbook in which the materiality of the objects – paper, photos, colors, handwritten notes – evokes that of analog cinema, which we have always defended. A book of images is born, and through the creation of this micro-collection, so is a portable museum of about one hundred pieces, which are ready to be exhibited and which will remain in the care of Light Cone’s archive. With contributions from Michael Snow, Rose Lowder, Cécile Fontaine, Ben Russell, Daïchi Saïto, Mara Mattuschka, Mika Taanila, Peter Tscherkassky, Bruce McClure, Charlotte Pryce, Michel Nedjar, Frédérique Devaux, Miles McKane, Peter Miller, Pierre Rovere, Maria Kourkouta, Emily Richardson, Jeanne Liotta, Patrice Kirchhofer, Olivier Fouchard, Luc Meichler, Claudio Caldini, Caroline Avery, among others. Exhibition opening on Thursday, June 9, at 7pm In parallel to Light Cone's 40th anniversary celebrations, which will take place from June 13 to 19, 2022, in Paris, and the publication of the *Scrapbook*, we wanted to pay tribute to the generosity of the artists that we have represented for forty years by exhibiting their works in a Parisian gallery for three weeks. The Scrapbook exhibition will be open from June 9 to 29, 2022, at Rue Antoine gallery in the 18th arrondissement in Paris. The book will be available for purchase at Rue Antoine gallery during the exhibition. It will also be for sale at our online shop from June 7th, 2022.
