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. *___________________________________________________________________* *June 22, 2023 - February 2024* Venue type: *Live, physical event* Whitney Museum of American Art <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=556d02aab4&e=857b71a9cb> 99 Gansevoort St, New York, NY *Inheritance* Inheritance traces the profound impacts of legacy and the past across familial, historical, and aesthetic lines. Featuring new acquisitions and rarely-seen works from the Whitney collection by forty-three leading artists, the exhibition includes paintings, sculptures, videos, photographs, and time-based media installations from the 1970s to today. This diverse array of works consider what has been passed on and how it may shift, change, or live again. Drawing inspiration from Ephraim Asili’s 2020 film of the same title, Inheritance reflects on multiple meanings of the word, whether celebratory or painful, from one era, person, or idea to the next. The exhibition takes a layered approach to storytelling by interweaving narrative with documentary and personal experiences with historical and generational events. A group of works examining the cycle from birth to death opens the exhibition, while other galleries take up different kinds of lineages, such as how artists borrow from and remake art history or unspool legacies of racialized violence and their recurrences. The poet Rio Cortez speaks of being “framed by our future knowing”—even as we sit in this moment, we slide backward and forward in time, between our foremothers and the descendants we will never know. Rather than passively accepting our current state, the artists whose work is on view here ask: How did we get here, as individuals and as a society, and where are we going? Artists featured in this exhibition include Ephraim Asili, Sadie Barnette, Kevin Beasley, Diedrick Brackens, Beverly Buchanan, Widline Cadet, Andrea Carlson, Jonathan Lyndon Chase, Ralston Crawford, Mary Beth Edelson, John Edmonds, Kevin Jerome Everson, Chitra Ganesh, Todd Gray, Wade Guyton, David Hartt, Emily Jacir, Wakeah Jhane, Mary Kelly, Deana Lawson, An-My Lê, Maggie Lee, Sherrie Levine, Dindga McCannon, Ana Mendieta, Thaddeus Mosley, Lorraine O’Grady, Kambui Olujimi, John Outterbridge, Pat Phillips, Faith Ringgold, Sophie Rivera, Carissa Rodriguez, Cameron Rowland, Sturtevant, Hank Willis Thomas, Clarissa Tossin, Kara Walker, Joan Wallace, Carrie Mae Weems, WangShui, and Bruce and Norman Yonemoto. This exhibition is organized by Rujeko Hockley, Arnhold Associate Curator at the Whitney Museum of American Art. *___________________________________________________________________* *June 29 - July 29* Venue type: *Live, physical event* Microscope Gallery <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=a2b02bf63e&e=857b71a9cb> 12:00-6:00pm ET, 525 W 29th St, 2nd floor, New York, NY, 10001 *A Dweller on Two Planets: Ayoung Kim, Yin-Ju Chen, Sow Yee Au, Su Yu Hsin* Microscope is very pleased to present this group exhibition curated by Alice, Nien-pu Ko featuring new and recent works in single- and multi-channel video and video installation by four East Asian and Southeast Asian woman artists: Ayoung Kim, Yin-Ju Chen, Sow Yee Au, and Su Yu Hsin. >From Alice, Nien-pu Ko: Inspired by the early science fiction novel, '*A Dweller on Two Planets*,' by Frederick Spencer Olive, this exhibition suggests some possibilities for cultural engagement today. This story of time-traveling consciousness, revealed by an Eastern spirit, depicts imaginary submerged ancient civilizations that have developed futuristic technology and scientific discoveries, including holograph-like art works and interplanetary cohabitation. This fictional story discloses a vision of human existence in the future, where the co-existence between East and West extends into outer space. Taking these speculations as a starting point, this exhibition links four media artists based in Asia. Together, their recent works explore cultural interference, remixing historical events and colonial legacy in order to develop an alternative narrative that suggests a mode of planetary thinking with regards to immigration, futurism, and nature. *___________________________________________________________________* *July 7 - 9* Venue type: *Live, physical event* The Metropolitan Museum of Art <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=0bffe09348&e=857b71a9cb> see below for times, 1000 5th Ave, New York, NY *Short films for Short nights* A program of film screenings with live music to accompany silent films. *Sunlight filtered through trees into abstract patterns ... A mechanical man sputtering to life ... The rumble of a subway train ...* With the advent of cinema came new ways of experiencing and representing modern life. Join The Met’s Leonard A. Lauder Research Center for Modern Art for a three-part film series featuring dozens of short films made between 1896 and 1959 that collectively explore themes of modernity through cinema and film technologies. --- Program One: Perceptions Friday, July 7, 2023, 7 pm ET --- Live music by Brandon Lopez Opening remarks from actor, producer, and director Paul Dano and actor, producer, and writer Zoe Kazan. Modern artists harnessed new ideas about optical perception, agitating the picture plane and upending conventional forms of representation. Cinema technology also brought new ways of seeing: Two-dimensional drawings sprang to life through early animations, three-dimensional and stereoscopic films allowed viewers to experience moving images in "natural vision," and manipulations of the camera lens tricked the eyes. *L'arrivée d'un train en gare de La Ciotat *(1896), Auguste and Louis Lumiére, black and white, silent, 1 min., 30 sec. *Koko's Earth Control *(1928), Fleischer Bros., silent, 6 min. *Fantasmagorie* (1908), Emile Cohl, black and white, silent, 2 min. *The Infernal Cauldron* (1903), Georges Méliès, color, silent, 2 min. *Around Is Around* (1951), Norman McLaren, color, sound, 10 min. *Étude cinégraphique sur une arabesque* (1929), Germaine Dulac, black and white, silent, 7 min. *Color Rhapsodie* (1948), Mary Ellen Bute, sound, 6 min. *Brumes d'automne* (1928), Dimitri Kirsanoff, black and white, original soundtrack by Paul Devred, 12 min. *Séance* (1959), Jordan Belson, sound, 3 min. *Rain* (1929), Mannus Franken and Joris Ivens, black and white, sound, 15 min. *The Wonder Ring* (1955), Stan Brakhage, silent, 5 min. --- Program Two: Bodies Saturday, July 8, 2023, 7 pm ET --- Live music by Matana Roberts Just as modern artists reconfigured and reimagined the moving body, cinema compelled spectators to establish a new relationship with their own bodies as viewers confronted by a filmic screen and by actors mediated through the camera lens. Filmmaking techniques like cropping and montage abstracted human forms, making the familiar strange, while the enhanced vision made possible by cinema technologies found reflection in the superhuman content of early films, which often featured bodies supplanted by (or turned into) robots. *The Automatic Motorist *(1911), W.

At the same time, scientific innovations allowed microcosmic glimpses of the natural world, opening new ways of apprehending organic life. Such shifts in scale generated both shock and wonder as modern artists grappled with methods for depicting rapidly changing structures. *Inflation* (1928), Hans Richter, black and white, silent, 3 min. *A Bronx Morning *(1931), Jay Leyda, black and white, silent, 15 min. *Mechanical Principles* (1930), Ralph Steiner, black and white, silent, 10 min. *Peas and Cues* (1930), British Instructional Films, black and white, sound, 9 min. *To Demonstrate How Spiders Fly *(1909), Percy Smith, black and white, silent, 1 min. *N or NW* (1938), Len Lye, black and white, sound, 7 min. *One Week* (1920), Buster Keaton, black and white, silent, 25 min.

I have been walking around with my Bolex and reacting to the immediate reality: situations, friends, New York, seasons of the year. On some days I shot ten frames, on others ten seconds, still on others ten minutes. Or I shot nothing. When one writes diaries, it’s a retrospective process: you sit down, you look back at your day, and you write it all down. To keep a film (camera) diary, is to react (with your camera) immediately, now, this instant: either you get it now, or you don’t get it at all.” –Jonas Mekas *___________________________________________________________________* Venue type: *Live, physical event* Anthology Film Archives <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=5ded269444&e=857b71a9cb> 7:45pm ET, 32 Second Avenue, New York, NY *EC: CHRISTOPHER MACLAINE* “The few facts that are known about Maclaine are, at best, sketchy. He was a published poet, a sort of down and out San Francisco bohemian who later became one of the psychic casualties of that scene. His last years were spent at Sunnyacres, a state mental hospital in Fairfield, California. These films, along with Ron Rice’s, are clearly the most significant work to come out of the beat period.” –J.J.

In fact, many were magicians before becoming filmmakers. But it was Georges Méliès, the French magician, producer of spectacles, actor, artist, and poet, who had the imagination and enthusiasm to fully exploit its marvels. His films are spectacles that amaze and delight. He created fantastic visions – all of them curious, some of them comic.” –MUSEUM OF MODERN ART Total running time: ca. 60 min. --- PROGRAM 2 @ 7pm --- <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=993a576871&e=857b71a9cb> The films on this program are hand-tinted and silent. *A DIABOLICAL TENANT / UN LOCATAIRE DIABOLIQUE* (1909, 8 min, 35mm) *THE CASCADE OF FIRE / LA CASCADE DE FEU* (1904, 3 min, 35mm) *VOYAGE ACROSS THE IMPOSSIBLE / LE VOYAGE À TRAVERS L’IMPOSSIBLE* (1904, 20 min, 35mm) *THE HUNCHBACK FAIRY / LA FÉE CARABOSSE* (1906, 13 min, 35mm) Total running time: ca. 50 min. *MONDAY, JULY 10, 2023* Venue type: *Live, physical event* Anthology Film Archives <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=4e9372bf02&e=857b71a9cb> 6:30pm ET, 32 Second Avenue, New York, NY *EC: GEORGES MÉLIÈS, PROGRAM #3* All films in this program are b&w and silent. *EXTRAORDINARY ILLUSIONS / ILLUSIONS FUNAMBULESQUES* (1903, 3 min, 16mm) *THE ENCHANTED WELL / LE PUITS FANTASTIQUE* (1903, 3 min, 16mm) *TUNNEL UNDER THE CHANNEL / LE TUNNEL SOUS LA MANCHE* (1907, 25 min, 35mm) *THE APPARITION / LE REVENANT* (1903, 3 min, 16mm) *THE DOCTOR’S SECRET / HYDROTHÉRAPIE FANTASTIQUE* (1909, 11 min, 35mm) *SIGHTSEEING THROUGH WHISKY / PAUVRE JEAN OU LES MESAVENTURES D’UN BUVEUR* (1909, 5 min, 35mm) Total running time: ca. 55 min *___________________________________________________________________* Venue type: *Live, physical event* Anthology Film Archives <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=869dfe33f2&e=857b71a9cb> 8:15pm ET, 32 Second Avenue, New York, NY *EC: MARIE MENKEN* All films preserved by Anthology Film Archives. *GLIMPSE OF THE GARDEN* (1957, 5 min, 16mm) *ARABESQUE FOR KENNETH ANGER* (1961, 4 min, 16mm) *EYE MUSIC IN RED MAJOR* (1961, 4 min, 16mm, silent) *NOTEBOOK* (1962-63, 10 min, 16mm, silent) *GO!

[…] The extraordinary cinematic style that I have been calling Menken’s somatic camera has been her most influential gift to the American avant-garde cinema. It is an embodiment of the Emersonian invention of a pictorial air, the spiritual emancipation automatically brought about by ‘certain mechanical changes, a small alteration in our local position.’ It is also analogous to the equally Emersonian somatic theory of poesis Charles Olson was developing at nearly the same time: his emphasis on breath and proprioception corresponds to Menken’s identification of the camera with her body in motion and her cultivation of the respiratory and nervous agitation of the handheld camera even in its quietest moments.” –P.

Many of his films chronicle the picaresque adventures of a wacky protagonist and use disjunctive editing strategies to construct new time and space relations…. But perhaps their best-known feature is the use of distorted, funhouse mirror-images, which he created by shooting with an anamorphic lens. […] In his films, he investigates extreme states of consciousness, and the primary tool of his epistemology of irrationalism is the photographic image distorted and transformed to register the impact of those states.” –R. Bruce Elder, IMAGE AND IDENTITY Total running time: ca. 80 min. *SATURDAY, JULY 15, 2023* Venue type: *Live, physical event* https://www.eventbrite.com/e/667158327517 8:45pm ET, Movies in the Woods, 611 Lawrence Rd, Hillsborough, NC 27278 *Sputnik at Sixty-Six* Sixty-six years ago the first satellite orbited the earth and sent the world into a frenzy. SPUTNIK AT SIXTY-SIX is an archival film program with clips from documentaries and television programs. These various bits of cinematic flotsam and jetsam are combined to make a unique show about the Cold War space race. Our view of the universe began to change in 1957, and it all started with a beeping metal sphere not much bigger than a basketball, the first "artificial moon." *Movies in the Woods* is a bring-your-own-chair outdoor screening at my house. This is the first year of this series, which is similar to the *Movies in the Park* series I (Tom Whiteside) presented in Durham Central Park from 2009 to 2018. (As a matter of fact this program used to be called SPUTNIK AT SIXTY - you figure it out.) Shows are presented in 16mm film. Tickets are $15 per car - bring as many people as you can fit. No buses, please! There is plenty of room for people but parking is limited (25 cars) so advance tickets are required. Please plan to arrive between 7:45 and 8:30 so you can park your car and find your way to your spot before it gets dark. Feel free to bring snacks and beverages but do clean up after yourself. Plan to carpool and bring lots of friends. The show starts at 8:45. Remember - BRING YOUR OWN CHAIR so you don't have to sit on the ground and ARRIVE ON TIME (early!) so you can park and find your way to your spot before it gets dark. We do have some extra chairs so if you don't have one let me know a couple of days in advance and I'll save one for you. Some of the parking is in the woods. We have parking attendants who will assist you. Please be careful and follow their directions. Make sure you have a flashlight so you can get back to your car after the show. No refunds - if this program is rained out it will be rescheduled, and your ticket for the rained-out show can be used at any future *Movies in the Woods* program. *___________________________________________________________________* Venue type: *Live, physical event* No Name Cinema <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=9a37797bbd&e=857b71a9cb> 7pm MST, No Name Cinema, 2013 Pinon Street, Santa Fe, NM *CELLULOID SHOWCASE* An eclectic night of rare films all presented on the 16mm film format, which was released by Eastman Kodak 100 years ago in 1923!

Amongst the attributes of art filmmaking, there is a kind of practice that does not belong to completed narrative or traditional documentary or to absolute abstraction. Anna Kipervaser’s artistic creations sometimes seem to be poems, wandering in an inner monologue, trying to find a way to get along with nature or to talk to animals. For this special event, Anna Kipervaser will bring six films to Whammy!, all produced on 16mm film and screened on 16mm film. For the post-screening Q&A, we will chat with Anna about her diverse artistic practice. Anna Kipervaser is a Ukrainian-born artist whose practice engages with a range of topics including human and animal bodies, ethnicity, religion, colonialism, and environmental conservation. Her practice is informed by a commitment to formal experimentation, DIY and alternative processes across experimental and documentary moving image works in both 16mm film and video. Anna’s work screens at festivals, in classrooms, galleries, museums, microcinemas, basements, and schoolhouses! Anna is also a painter, printmaker, educator, curator of exhibitions, programmer of screenings. *And By The Night* (2017, 9:44, Silent, 18fps, 16mm, United States) *When It Is Still* (2018, 10:08, Silent, 18fps, 16mm, United States) *How a Sprig of Fir Would Replace a Feather* (2019, 7:28, Silent, 24fps, 16mm, United States) *With The Tide, with the tide* (2022, 2:48, Sound, 24fps, 16mm, United States) *Next Her Heart* (2023, 11:54, Sound, 24fps, 16mm, United Arab Emirates) *Бабушка Галя и Дедушка Аркадий // Grandma Galya and Grandpa Arkadiy* (2023, 4:24, Sound, 24fps, 16mm, Ukraine / United States) Runtime: 50 minutes + Q&A *ONGOING* Venue type: *Virtual, online event* Riverwest Radio <https://list-manage.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4b83d0e66f4638a082b103d27&id=7a911f8cce&e=857b71a9cb> streaming 24/7 *THE LONG CONVERSATION* THE LONG CONVERSATION with Xav Leplae and Stephanie Barber is on indefinite hold.
