MediaScope
December 8 and 15, 2003
Dedicated to experimentation with cinematic form and content, MediaScope presents emerging and recognized artists who discuss their work with
the audience. The program explores filmmaking and videomaking, as
well as Web-based, installation, and digital art practices.
Organized by Sally Berger, Assistant Curator; Jytte Jensen, Curator;
Laurence Kardish, Senior Curator; Barbara London, Associate Curator;
and Joshua Siegel, Assistant Curator, Department of Film and Media.
Pablo Helguera performs Parallel Lives (2003), a theatrical composition
that interweaves the biographies of individuals from different
periods in history, including Giulio Camillo, Florence Foster Jenkins,
Friedrich Froebel, and Ward Jackson. The work is performed as an
illustrated, multipart lecture structured on the form of the musical
fugue, and incorporates the process of recording on wax cylinders,
a phonograph technique from 1898. Approx. 60 min.
Mary Ellen Strom creates video installations, performances, and site-specific
projects. Ann Carlson is a choreographer, director, and performance
artist who combines movement, voice, and visual elements. The artists’ recent
collaborative project Geyserland (August) (2003) was first performed
on a train from Livingston to Bozeman, Montana. For their New York
audience, Strom and Carlson will partially reenact the experience
of being on the train. The evening will be narrated by Carlson
and will include live performance elements and video projections,
as well as a discussion of three other works by the artists: West (1997), Picture
Project (2000–02), and Night Light (2002).
Approx. 90 min.
