Frameworkers, Greetings from Brooklyn. Mono No Aware is excited to present the work of Alee Peoples and Mike Stoltz as part of the last program in the inaugural year of the Connectivity Through Cinema screening series. Join the artists in person tonight for a very special program: Oracles and Atmosphere Waxing and Milking by Alee Peoples(2014, Super 8 with digital sound, 9:00)This film mimics music video tropes and equates Los Angeles' favorite food snack, the taco, to a lady's special parts. A companion piece to Boys of Summer. Ten Notes on a Summer's Day by Mike Stoltz(2012, HD, 04:30)We could be anywhere but we're right here, humming along. With Pluses and Minuses by Mike Stoltz(2013, 16mm, 5:00)"This morning the window blew its glass onto my face. Real morning with pluses and minuses (my symbols for truth)" / A ground-less and boundless film in which a wall becomes a window to a swirling landscape. Them Oracles by Alee Peoples(2012, 16mm, 7:30)A skeptic investigation of what an oracle can be and what it would sound like. Human desire and blind faith allow, and maybe even will, these mystic soothsayers to exist. Boys of Summer by Alee Peoples(2009, Super 8 to Video, 12:30)A pop music essay that is both sweet and serious about male stereotypes and juvenile fun. Tongue-in-cheek objectifying is mixed with cryptic symbols of longing and desire. Under the Atmosphere by Mike Stoltz(2014, 16mm, 14:30)Filmed on the Central Florida "Space Coast", site of NASA's launch pads. Dormant spacecraft, arcane text, activated landscape, and the surface of the image work towards a future-past shot reverse shot. Discussion and Q & A session to follow. MONO NO AWARE’S SCREENING SERIES:The CONNECTIVITY THROUGH CINEMA series will present the work of artists, film-makers and curators who are traveling or presenting special interactive programs in-person. Our hope is to engage the community by showing work with a focus on post-screening discussion.This event is sponsored, in part, by the Greater New York Arts Development Fund of the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, administered by Brooklyn Arts Council (BAC). Hope that you can make it out! Steve CossmanFounder / Director MONO NO AWARE

Collaborators since 2000, Gibson and Recoder unite the > rich traditions of the experimental film, particularly its structuralist > and materialist strands, and the multi-modal sensibility of expanded > cinema that emerged in the 1960s, in which the moving image was woven > into the labile space of performance, sound and audience interaction. > Their larger body of work explores this interstice between avant-garde > film practice and the incorporation of moving images and time-based > media into the museum and art gallery.

Working and living between San Francisco and > Austin, TX, Scott Stark has built up an unparalleled body of films and > videos over the last 35 years. Armed with a sly and dry sense of humor, > as well as an array of technical and conceptual strategies, each of > Stark's works is reliably unlike the one that preceded it. While many > filmmakers labeled 'experimental' reject that term because it suggests > they don't have any control of their process or end result, Stark has > said, "I'm very interested in accidents, imperfection, random > events, things happening that I never could predict. I like to set up a > situation, give it some parameters, and see what happens. I never liked > the idea of creating a 'message'; I like it when things happen beyond my > control, things that surprise me and create meanings I never would have > thought of." Stark is one of our most notable Super 8 artists, and > the films he produced in the 1980s and 1990s exploited the possibilities > and transcended the limitations of this small, often handheld medium. > His singular work in video is equally rich and distinctly exploratory. > For this series we present two programs of newly digitized Super 8 works > from Stark's voluminous back catalog along with a show of new and recent > pieces, including the 16mm double projection film NOCTURNAL SYMMETRIES > and the widely-celebrated, completely transfixing digital video THE > REALIST.

TERRAULT CONTEMPORARY: > http://www.terraultcontemporary.com/ > > 11/9 > New York, New York: Anthology Film Archives > http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/ > 7:30 pm, 32 2nd Avenue > > SHOW & TELL: VINCENT GRENIER PROGRAM 1 > A professor at Binghamton University and native of Quebec City, Canada > who has been living in the US since the early 1970s, Vincent Grenier has > been a constant presence in festivals and experimental moving image > venues for nearly 40 years. Avant-garde but in many ways also remarkably > classical, Grenier is fascinated by those aspects of our daily > environment that are most easily overlooked. He is concerned with light > and space as much as he is invested in form, finding in each of his > works a new way to address and extend his chosen medium, whether it be > film, video, or installation. Grenier was the subject of a 1992 > retrospective at Anthology, but it's high time to catch up with his > recent work, as well as to revisit some key 16mm films from the 70s and > 80s. These programs mix new with old in an attempt to understand the > continuities and discrepancies that make his work so consistently > surprising. "Ithaca-based filmmaker Vincent Grenier is a master of > quiet, delicate forms, gradual transitions, and wry misdirection. > Working primarily in digital media for several decades now, Grenier > explores the capacity of video to alter our perception of landscape and > the natural world, particularly our uncertain place within it. His work > belies any assumptions about the 'coldness' of post-cinematic images; he > is a true poet of the medium." Michael Sicinski "My work eschews the > deductive straight lines of arguments, specific judgments and > conclusions. Rather, the cinematic, as figured in my body of work, is > not located as a fixed and static object, but as an opening for > transformative possibilities. Evoking the juxtapositions of the Zen > Buddhist koan, my work shakes the patina of the everyday into a humorous > and poetic awareness of the present."
