T. J. Wilcox

The Museum of Modern Art - MoMA, New York

The Roy and Niuta Titus Theater 2

In his intimate short films, Wilcox explores themes of ideal beauty and mythmaking, history and commemoration, the immortal and the evanescent. The artist creates sumptuously layered imagery by moving between video, 8mm and 16mm film, and by combining original and found footage, painstakingly collaged animation, and clips from Hollywood and European movies. Wilcox presents a selection of recent work, including Stephen Tennant Homage (1998), The Funeral of Marlene Dietrich (1999), The Little Elephant (2000), Hadrian and Antinous (2000), and several of his Garlands (2003­5), honoring those whom Wilcox regards as forgotten figures of history. Program 90 min.

The Museum of Modern Art's biweekly exhibition series MediaScope, established in October 2002 as a forum for emerging and recognized artists working in film, video, and electronic media, continues with its fall/winter season. The series, which recommenced in February 2005 in the newly refurbished Roy and Niuta Titus 2 Theater, presents recent video and film projects from cutting-edge artists. 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.

MediaScope is 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.

MediaScope is supported by Jennifer McSweeney.
