*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.

*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.

*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.

*I AM HERE: HOME MOVIES AND EVERYDAY MASTERPIECES*
>From the earliest cave paintings to TikTok, humans have found creative ways
to document their day-to-day lives. *I AM HERE: Home Movies and Everyday
Masterpieces*, a major new AGO exhibition opening in April of 2022, is a
revealing look at our universal need to capture, share and cherish the
everyday. Featuring lost-and-found home movies from the Prelinger Archives,
alongside celebrated artworks by the likes of David Hockney, Patti Smith,
Claes Oldenburg, Annie Pootoogook, Arthur Jafa and Mary Pratt, as well as
snapshots, photo albums, letters, television, grocery lists, and social
media, *I AM HERE* brings together a broad range of personal records from
different time periods and locales to explore the shared human impulse to
document life as it happens.

Co-curated by Jim Shedden, the AGO’s Manager of Publishing, and Alexa
Greist, AGO Associate Curator and R. Fraser Elliott Chair, Prints &
Drawings, in collaboration with archivist, scholar and writer Rick
Prelinger, the exhibition is a celebration of daily life and human
creativity, replete with music and creative prompts. Among the artworks on
display will be a digital collage of the more than 3000 submissions
received from around the world as part of the AGO’s 2021 Portraits of
Resilience exhibition. The exhibition will be accompanied by a catalogue
co-published by the AGO and DelMonico Books/D.A.P

*L’ÂGE D’OR* by Luis Buñuel & Salvador Dalí
In French with English subtitles, 1930, 73 min, 35mm, b&w

“The story is a sequence of moral and surrealist aesthetics. The sexual
instinct and the sense of death form the substance of the film. It is a
romantic film performed in full surrealistic frenzy.” – Luis Buñuel

*ANDY WARHOL’S DURATIONAL CINEMA*
This summer we present rare screenings of three of Andy Warhol’s most
often-discussed but rarely-screened films, all of which represent bold
experiments in durational cinema: *SLEEP* (1963), *EMPIRE* (1964), and *THE
CHELSEA GIRLS* (1966). *SLEEP* and *EMPIRE* are notoriously minimal works –
the former, lasting five-plus hours, records the poet and artist John
Giorno sleeping; the latter consists of an eight-hour stationary shot of
the Empire State Building – in which the slightest shifts in light,
atmosphere, and gesture carry the weight of dramatic plot developments. *THE
CHELSEA GIRLS*, on the other hand, is a comparatively maximalist work: a
three-and-a-half hour double-screen epic in which numerous Factory regulars
and other Warhol collaborators enact various scenarios, all of which
ostensibly take place within different rooms of the Chelsea Hotel. All
three are radical and unique filmic experiences.

Special thanks to Katie Trainor (Museum of Modern Art).

This series has been made possible by The Film Exhibition Fund, a new
grants-giving 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting the
screening of celluloid film prints. For more info visit:

August 6 @ 6pm ET
August 7 @ 7:30pm ET
August 8 @ 6:45pm ET

*LOS OLVIDADOS (THE FORGOTTEN ONES)* by Luis Buñuel
In Spanish with English subtitles, 1950, 88 min, 35mm, b&w

“Buñuel shows the sad condition of the poor without embellishing them,
because if there is one thing Buñuel hates it is that artificial sweetness
imparted to all the poor which we so frequently see in the traditional
film. If, as usually happens in motion pictures, the moral principals
approved by conventional society are carefully observed by members of the
poorest classes…then these principals have some universal validity.
However, Buñuel is concerned with exposing the opposite.” –Emilio Garcia
Riera, FILM CULTURE

“[*LOS OLVIDADOS*] lashes the mind like a red-hot iron and leaves one’s
conscience no opportunity to rest.” –André Bazin

*IMAGELESS FILMS: SCRATCH FILMS*
This screening gathers a selection of films that foreground the materiality
of 16mm or 35mm film by calling attention to the scratches, dust, or other
detritus that can accrue to the film strip, either by direct intervention
of the artist or by organic accumulation over time. The program features
very rare presentations of two double-screen 16mm works by the great UK
experimental filmmaker Malcolm Le Grice.

Nam June Paik *ZEN FOR FILM (Fluxfilm No. 1)* (1962-64, 8 min, 16mm,
silent. Preserved by Anthology Film Archives.)
“Clear film, accumulating in time dust and scratches.” –George Maciunas
“As an analogy to John Cage, who included silence as a non-sound in his
music, Paik uses the emptiness of the image for his art. This a film which
depicts only itself and its own material qualities, and which, as an
‘anti-film,’ is meant to encourage viewers to oppose the flood of images
from outside with one’s own interior images.” –Heike Helfert, MEDIEN KUNST
NETZ

Malcolm Le Grice *BLUE FIELD DURATION* (1972, 8 min, double-screen 16mm)
“This is a two-screen film where a full frame color field slowly changes
from blue to green over a period of about six minutes. The film has been
intentionally scratched providing another layer of content and the source
of the sound track.” –Malcolm Le Grice

Malcolm Le Grice *WHITE FIELD DURATION* (1973, 12 min, double-screen 16mm)
“The first five minutes the screens are practically clear white. During the
next five minutes, we begin to see tiny, unimposing scratches moving across
the screens. The scratches obviously were placed there, but they also could
be taken for dust by some. For the next five minutes or so both screens
flicker lightly and softly and there are images (‘screens’) of different
grey (white) intensities within the larger images (or screens). During the
last five minutes or so slight traces of some representational imagery
begin to be barely visible on both screens, and then the screens blank out
again. It is a very pure, a very classical piece.” –Jonas Mekas, VILLAGE
VOICE, 1973

Robert Huot *SCRATCH* (1966-1967, 11 min, 16mm, silent)
“While SCRATCH is nothing more than eleven minutes of dark leader with a
continuous handmade scratch, the resulting imagery varies a good deal,
depending on how deeply Huot dug into the emulsion: when the scratch is
shallow, for example, it seems to bead and move up through the image; when
the scratch is deep, it seems to remain within the frame, vibrating
horizontally.” –Scott MacDonald, “The Films of Robert Huot: 1967-1972”,
QUARTERLY REVIEW OF FILM STUDIES

Anouk De Clercq *BLACK* (2015, 5 min, 35mm, silent)
Simultaneously boundless and intimate, collective and personal, an ode to
and an example of a cinematic experience that is becoming increasingly
rare, the darkness of a movie theater in the course of the projection of a
35mm film print.

Total running time: ca. 50 min.

*[Please note: since the BLUE FIELD DURATION print was not delivered in
time for the first screening, we've added a second screening of this
program on Wednesday, August 10 at 7:30; this screening will include the
full lineup of films.]*

*Hands on a Hardbody*
with opening short film *Welcome to Spivey's Corner*, directed by Kier
Cline, 1978, 17 min, color, sound
Hollerin' - the world's oldest form of communication. In this short
documentary, hollerers converge on the small town of Spivey's Corner, North
Carolina to compete at the National Hollerin' Contest. Contenders showcase
their talents as they shriek, scream, bellow, and shout into a microphone
for a crowd of hollerin' enthusiasts whilst giving us insight into this
complex yet primitive form of rural communication.

*Hands on a Hardbody*, directed by S.R. Bindler, 1997, 98 min, color, sound
In 1995 the Jack Long Nissan dealership held its fourth annual “Hands on a
Hardbody” competition in which twenty four contestants were tasked with
becoming the last person left standing while maintaining hand contact with
a brand new Nissan Hardbody pickup truck. Documented with Hi-8 video
cameras in filmmaker S.R.Bindler’s hometown of Longview, Texas, HOHB covers
seventy seven hours of human endurance. Beginning as a comedy of absurd
competition and the camaraderie of suffering, the film simultaneously
becomes a philosophical and psychological examination on the limits of
mental exhaustion, lust for material possessions, and the depravity of
capitalism. Cowboy narrator and winner of the inaugural 1992 competition,
Benny Perkins, insightfully guides us through the film’s whirlwind of
humor, heartbreak, and sleep deprived hallucination. As Perkins states,
“this is a human drama thing. ... You gotta have the mettle. ... If you
can't run with the big dogs, stay up on the porch with the pups.”
