[Frameworks] CARAVAN: DOUBLE FEATURE live expanded cinema w/ van as film projector TONIGHT 7:30pm at Microscope Gallery Brooklyn
by Evan Dawson Paign Phillips, admission is FREE If you're in town, please join us for the New York incarnation of “Caravan: Double Feature” expanded cinema and performance event by Evan Dawson and Paige Phillips TONIGHT in our entrance garage (therefore rain is no problem). Held shortly after sundown, a 16mm film of two wanderers is projected via the van’s headlights by transforming part of an existing building into a canvas. The film loops around the side profile of the vehicle and the headlights have been replaced by projectors. Performance intervals by the two collaborating artists change the dynamic of the surrounding social space. The energy needed for the event is generated from the car’s battery, while two bricks on the gas pedal keep the battery charged. By the end of this trip Caravan will have held public events in Columbus, OH, Matewan, WV, Philadelphia, PA, Washington D.C., and New York, NY. more info: www.microscopegallery.com Microscope Gallery (NOTE NEW ADDRESS) 1329 Willoughby Ave, #2b (btwn Wyckoff St. Nicholas) Brooklyn, NY 11237 tel: 347.925.1433 i...@microscopegallery.com ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
[Frameworks] Zoom lens and camera used for Wavelength
Hello FrameWorkers, I have read that Snow used a camera and zoom lens on loan from Ken Jacobs and that the lens was an Angenieux. Can anyone verify this? I am particularly interested in the focal length of the lens he used. I found a history of the zoom lenses they made and think I can narrow it down but it would still be a guess. Maybe the 10 x 12 (F=12 - 120mm) or F17 - 68 F/2.2? http://www.angenieux.com/zoom-lenses/history/ Thank you, Jared. ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
Re: [Frameworks] Zoom lens and camera used for Wavelength
In the early seventies, the 12-120 was the lens to have, and all of the TV guys were desperate for the things because they had such a huge range of focal lengths. They were ubiquitous for a good while, but they really weren't very sharp. Angenieux made hundreds of different lenses back then... and some of them were better than others but if someone said french zoom your first thought was probably that 12-120. --scott ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
