MediaScope
April 14 and 28, 2003
MediaScope is a new initiative devoted to
artists and their recent media projects. Focusing on experimentation
with form and content, the
program features both emerging and recognized artists, who discuss
their work with the audience. MediaScope is presented biweekly
on
Monday nights, and explores filmmaking and videomaking, as
well as Web-based, installation, and digital art practices.
Organized by Sally Berger, Assistant Curator;
Jytte Jensen, Associate Curator; Laurence Kardish, Senior Curator;
Barbara London,
Associate Curator; and Joshua Siegel, Assistant Curator,
Department of Film and Media.
MediaScope presents four major cycles of work, intoxicating film
sequences that move through cities with pulsating speed
and energy, produced in recent years by filmmaker, painter,
and printmaker Sarah Morris: Midtown (1998), shot in
New York City; AM/PM (1999), shot in Las Vegas; Capital (2000),
shot in Washington, D.C.; and, most recently, Miami (2002),
which is premiering in New York at MoMA and will be introduced
by the artist and followed by a discussion.
Nancy Andrews makes handcrafted films mixing puppet animation and
live action. Her works are at times playful, at times melancholic,
but always original and mysterious. This evening will feature the
premiere of Monkeys and Lumps (2003), about the human effort
to understand nonhuman life-forms, and a screening of The Reach
of an Arm (2002), about Frank Gooding and Peculiarity, who set
out West in the 1800s. Artist present. Program approx. 90 min.
