below. For those who don’t find themselves in Gotham, here are the remaining
tour stops as I head home (in a slightly roundabout way):

> We are pleased to welcome back to the gallery Columbus-based filmmaker Roger
> Beebe for an evening of films, videos, and multi-projector performances,
> including several New York premieres shown alongside some of his best-known
> works. The event is the New York leg of Beebe’s 3,000-mile East Coast tour.
> The program has been adapted to include only works never before presented at

> In his works, Beebe often reflects upon forms of technology that are
> disappearing, or potentially being replaced – text fonts, books, moving image
> mediums, real estate – and critically considers their infrastructures and
> “replacements”, such as Amazon.com’s fulfillment centers in his 2018
> “Amazonia” (NY Premiere) or the new high rises of Las Vegas, now the US city
> with the largest rate of suicide, in “Money Changes Everything” (2010).
>
> Beebe’s 2015 performance work for six 16mm projectors “SOUNDFILM” presents a
> usually unseen history of sound and its recording, focusing on its visual
> translation on the film strip and measuring instruments, as sound to be seen
> on screen. His seven projector “Last Light of a Dying Star” (2008-2011),
> originally conceived for a planetarium, through meticulously juxtaposed
> original and found footage reveals how light, space, celluloid film, early
> space explorations, expanded cinema, and ephemerality are intertwined.

> Beebe will be available for Q following the screening and performance.

> Roger Beebe’s work since 2006 consists primarily of multiple projector
> performances that explore the world of found images and the “found”
> landscapes of late capitalism. He has screened his films around the globe at
> such unlikely venues as the CBS Jumbotron in Times Square and McMurdo Station
> in Antarctica as well as more likely ones including Sundance and the Museum
> of Modern Art with solo shows at Anthology Film Archives, The Laboratorio
> Arte Alameda in Mexico City, and Los Angeles Filmforum among many other
> venues. Beebe is also a film programmer: he ran Flicker, a festival of
> small-gauge film in Chapel Hill, NC, from 1997-2000 and was the founder and
> Artistic Director of FLEX, the Florida Experimental Film/Video Festival from
> 2004-2014. He is currently a Professor in the Department of Art at the Ohio
> State University.

> March 16 - April 22, 2018
> All that is solid melts into eros is the second solo exhibition at the
> gallery by Bradley Eros. In this exhibition devoted to ephemerality – a
> concept the artist has been radically engaging with, especially in film,
> video, collage, and performance, since the 1980s when he arrived in New York
> – Eros presents a new body of work “made of ice, ash, paper, foil, and
> plastic that will be altered, or disappear and be remade daily”.
>
> A détournement of a known Karl Marx quote, All that is solid melts into eros
> finds the artist asking for the visitors’ complicity in the physical
> transformation of the works themselves – which are to be burned, melted,
> crumpled, or flown – including in some cases their eventual disintegration.
