[Frameworks] There by James Fotopoulous screening TONIGHT 7:30pm at Microscope Gallery, Brooklyn
Sorry for the late notice on this. James Fotopoulos will be at Microscope Gallery in Brooklyn tonight for the 7:30pm screening of his new feature There. Here is additional information about the night. Microscope is very pleased to present *There*, a new, 103-minute feature film by James Fotopoulos written in 2011 and completed in 2014. While built upon the story of the main character Lamb, a veteran experiencing post-traumatic stress, “There” can be seen as ultimately the place where the unknown resides along with our deepest fears, where we become vulnerable before all that we ignore about ourselves or the other, a powerful dark side often relegated to the dreamlike that all the characters in the work encounter in different ways and must deal with during the course of the film. Fotopoulos once again gives the spotlight to a world of rejects and tormented loners – played among others by Xander O’Connor, Sarah Brooks, David Zellner, Joe Swanberg and an astounding Brenda Bakke – each shot becoming increasingly unsettling to confront the viewers with that from which they usually wish to turn away. For “There” Fotopoulos resumed his interest in shooting outside of his studio in real settings - after the more ethereal *Alice in Wonderland * (2010), *Chimera* (2011) and *Dignity* (2014) which included minimal and mostly painted backgrounds – offering a realistic base to the film’s mystery, an approach also continued with “The Given” currently on view as part of Fotopoulos’ exhibition. In terms of narrative style and treatment of the dark and surreal, “There” is reminiscent of Fotopoulos’ early 16mm features such as “Back Against The Wall” and “Migrating Forms”, this time with an ultra HD aesthetic. *THERE * 2014, 103 minutes Screenwriter Director: James Fotopoulos Cast: Xander O’Connor, Brenda Bakke, Sarah Brooks, Joe Swanberg, David Zellner, Robert Breuler original music by Nate Archer, Dorit Chrysler and Chris Corsano.

The practice of sadomasochism, or love to animals does not find understanding by many, and thus these persons have been confronted with social marginalization.

And here, he creates exceptional captivating pictures, as he meets these men at eye level and gives them space to express themselves, making them true protagonists.

Re: [Frameworks] The Complaining Body
Hi Sarah, There was a post similar to this last year called concepts of work that you might find in the Frameworks archive. I copied and pasted my response here: There's also Teching (Sam) Hseih's* One Year Performance 1980-1981 (Time Clock Piece) *which I believe exists somewhere in 16mm format. Sam punched a time clock on the hour every hour for one year in his studio. He shot one frame of 16mm film for each time clock punch. He shaved his head at the beginning of this performance - the time lapse/animated hair growth serving as a record of the performance. I believe he was institutionalized briefly right after this performance - he didn't sleep for more than an hour at a time for one year... punching a clock several times a day is maddening enough. A link explaining the work: http://vimeo.com/16280427 There's also this video I made a few years ago: https://vimeo.com/32584231 my body's still complaining about that labor..
