Modern Mondays. OpenEndedGroup screen and discuss their pioneering works of experimental 3-D film
Upending(2010) USA, directed by OpenEndedGroup. The play of images is accompanied by a special recording of Morton Feldman's first String Quartet, as performed by the Flux Quartet. 50min, presented at November 11, at 16h, followed by an evening with OpenEndedGroup: Marc Downie, Shelley Eshkar, and Paul Kaiser at 19h, the three artists join us to screen and discuss their pioneering works of experimental 3-D film. In a wide-ranging program featuring recent and new films, the artists present their advances in two broad areas. In dance, they conjure up the presence of longtime collaborator Merce Cunningham through the cat's-cradle movement of his motion-captured hands; in evocations of place, they transform a stretch of rural Iowa highway into a flickering film universe; haunt the galleries, corridors, and stairways of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum; and track the city of Detroit through its fractured industrial ruins and the circular patterns of its outdated modernity. Screenings include Loops (2001-11); plant (2011); All Sides of the Road (2012); and All Day, Knight's Rest, and Circling Detroit (all 2013). Both events will take place at The Roy and Niuta Titus Theater 2.
