Tom Kalin and Doveman

The Museum of Modern Art - MoMA, New York

The filmmaker and the musician discuss their ongoing collaboration


sintesi del comunicato stampa

MoMA's ongoing showcase for innovation on screen, Modern Mondays allows contemporary filmmakers and moving image artists to present their work directly to audiences. On February 6, filmmaker Tom Kalin and musician Thomas Bartlett (Doveman) discuss their ongoing collaboration. The collaboration between musician Thomas Bartlett (Doveman) (American, b. 1981) and filmmaker Tom Kalin (American, b. 1962) began as a series of short films inspired by Doveman's 2009 album The Conformist. Their ongoing project explores the intersection of recorded and live music, digital composition, and projected film. The pair draw inspiration from themes of broken romance, the truth of small gestures, and transcendentalism in addressing such contemporary issues as displacement and urban isolation. Kalin, a prominent figure in the New Queer Cinema movement, is well known as both a feature filmmaker (Swoon [1992], Savage Grace [2007] and as an experimental filmmaker (Third Known Nest, 1991-99). He was a founding member of the AIDS activist collective Gran Fury, known for its provocative public art projects. Doveman is a band founded by the 30-year-old Bartlett, who studied piano with Maria Curcio in London before moving to New York City to attend Columbia University. His ongoing live performances, known as The Burgundy Stain Sessions, occur monthly at Manhattan's Le Poisson Rouge.
