I apologize for the late notice on this one. The actual works in the program were in a state of flux, but have now been decided.
SUN 10/23 WEIRD SCIENCE Curated by Rachael Morrison Admissionn $6 approximately 50 minutes Rachael Morrison’s works have been presented in several Microscope programs over the last year including the group shows *The Internet is a Terrible Place to Live *curated by Jesse Malmed, the *BOS Film Festival, we presented as *part of the Bushwick Open Studios, and *Bushwick in the Box* exhibition that we curated at White Box art space (NYC) in August. This time, however, she joins us as a curator, bringing a selection of “weird scientific shorts” made in the 50s. “*Weird Science* is an evening of short films selected from the Prelinger Archives on science, technology, medicine, and industry. Produced in America around the middle of the 20th Century, these films offer a glimpse into the past when scientific innovation was met with great optimism and fear. The program includes educational, corporate, and institutional films, as well as commercials and animation. ” – - R M Rachael Morrison is an interdisciplinary artist, curator, and a librarian at the Museum of Modern Art. She is interested in the history of science, technology, and communications.
