Re: [Frameworks] major US and international exhibitions of experimental film, video, moving image art?

2017-05-19 Thread Beebe, Roger W. 
To Chrissie’s impressive list I’d add Pompidou’s Le Mouvement des Images 
(2006-7) that found parallels in works from the Seventh Art with strategies and 
concerns in the other (modern/contemporary) arts.  It included a fair number of 
(proper) experimental filmmakers (e.g., Brakhage, Rose Lowder) alongside 
gallery folks like Rodney Graham.  An outline of the show (without a ton of 
details about individual works) can be found here:  
https://www.centrepompidou.fr/cpv/resource/cn6eXo/r8K9ao

I believe Pip was involved in some way in the installation of that show, so he 
might be a better source of information about it than I am.

FYI (from Paris, on my way to Pompidou in a few hours),

Hi Ben, off the top of my head, here are some other shows that come to mind: my 
own ‘Signs of the Times: Film, Video and Slide Tape in British Art in the 
1980s’ (1990), and ‘Scream and Scream Again: Film in Art’ (1996), both group 
survey shows of the moving image that I curated at the Museum of Modern Art 
Oxford, U.K. A few others include: ‘Celluloid’ and ‘Found Footage: Cinema 
Exposed’ (2012), both at the Eye Film Museum, Amsterdam (2016), ‘Hall of 
Mirrors: Art and Film since 1945’ (1996), and ‘Visual Music’ (2005) both 
curated by Kerry Brougher at LA MOCA, ‘The Cinema Effect: Illusion, Reality, 
and the Moving Image’ at the Hirshhorn museum, Washington, also curated by 
Kerry Brougher (2008), ‘Monter/Sampler’ at the Pompidou Center, Paris (2000), 
‘X-Screen’ at Mumok in Vienna (2003), ‘Beyond Cinema: The Art of Projection’ at 
the Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin, curated by Stan Douglas and Christopher Eamon 
(2006), ‘Seeing Time’ at SF MOMA (2000), ‘The Dissolve’ at Site Santa Fe, 
curated by Sarah Lewis and Daniel Belasco (2010), ‘Electronic Superhighway’ at 
the Whitechapel Art Gallery, London, curated by Omar Kholeif (2016). There have 
also been a number of shows curated at ZKM Karlsruhe addressing the moving 
image in different ways, and some other historical shows include Wolf 
Herzogenrath’s ‘Video Skuptur: Retrospektiv und Aktuell 1963-1989’ show at the 
Cologne Kunstverein (1989) and ‘Projected Images’ curated by Martin Friedman at 
the Walker Art Center (1974), and John Hanhardt’s group show of film 
installations at the Whitney in 1979, as well as, of course, Jonas Mekas’s 
Expanded Cinema Festival at the Cinematheque in New York (1966). There are 
numerous books of course, including catalogues for the above shows; one comes 
to mind that I think might be helpful for your research: ‘OEI: On Film’, in 
Swedish and English, mapping out film in Sweden, with extensive analyses of 
experimental filmmakers’ processes. It’s a beautiful book that might not be so 
well known but would help your research I think.
Hope this is useful.

Subject: [Frameworks] major US and international exhibitions of experimental 
film, video, moving image art?

Hi all,
I'm interested in gathering a list of film/video-based art exhibitions in the 
United States, UK, Europe and rest of the world.  I was wondering if anyone 
might have suggestions of any exhibitions (recent or old) that were focused on 
a broad survey of moving image art.

Obviously many exhibitions, such as documenta or the Venice Biennale, have 
exhibited some form of moving images or experimental media. But for my 
purposes, I'm interested only in shows that focus on the moving image as the 
central theme, not as a component of a larger thematic whole.

An example might be the recent show at the Whitney Museum, Dreamlands: 
Immersive Cinema and Art, 1905-2016 or Into the Light: The Projected Image in 
American Art, 1964-1977, both curated by Chrissie Iles. Another example of this 
on a much smaller scale would be Renegades: American Avant-Garde Film, 
1960-1973, at the Walker Center of the Arts.
Your suggestions would be greatly appreciated !
Thanks so much.
Sincerely,
Ben
