Re: [Frameworks] Hutton

[Bob Zinck]

Several years ago I attended a screening of Peter Hutton's work at the
Massachusetts College of Art where Peter was present to answer questions.
Being first trained as a still photographer, I couldn't help but think
about the work of Alfred Steiglitz and his "Equivalents". Unfortunately, at
the time I couldn't muster up the courage to ask him about it. Does anyone
else have a similar reaction to his work?

 One the many things that has stayed with me since that screening, was
 how he had shot a lamp post lit up at night. It was a long take, nothing
 moved. I think there was some snow in the frame. He shot at 8 frames per
 second and over time, you could see the movement of the light from the lamp
 post.

 Amazing.

Re: [Frameworks] Books on Contemporary Experimental Film

[Chuck Kleinhans]

To extend that thought a bit: book publishers often take into account potential 
classroom sales.  So there’s more of a predictable market for books covering 
avant garde film “classics” or earlier experimental film periods than the 
immediate one.  And there’s a certain overlaps with “artist media” or “artist 
video” work, esp. in the gallery art world were it seems almost a requirement 
now to be part of a show.

Thanks to everyone who suggested readings. I'm going to be busy :)

It is a bit of a disappointment (but not really a surprise, since there is so 
much good work being made everywhere) to see that none of the readings are 
specifically about what's been happening in the US.
