[Frameworks] Water/expanded cinema

[Steve Polta]

Hi Jennifer. I know that google is our friend and everything but you should know that in this field (and many others) there is documentation and other writing—published and unpublished—which is not online. Have you dug around in any physical libraries or arts/film-related archives? For example, San Francisco Cinematheque's archive (which I manage) has a file on the silt collective and likely other museums or arts libraries have material on some of the other artists you mention. I can't blame you for not knowing about Cinematheque or any other resources as we're not really online yet but your posts seem to suggest an attitude of "if it ain't online it doesn't exist" and there's really a whole world of unpublished and "sub-published" stuff out there. I apologize for assuming this if it's incorrect.

Speaking specifically about Keith Evans/silt, have you done anything in the way of contacting him or any of these artists directly? I'm sorry to say that I'm not familiar with the other artists you are discussing but if you want to contact me off-list I'd be happy to discuss non-online resources and help you make contact with Keith and others.

Lemme know...

Hi David, 

I have watched the video of the construction of the installation of "On
the nature of things" (found extremely interesting as I work with water)
and had guessed that the projector was above in the rain machine but didn’t
know what the projection screen was- would never have guessed it was a paving
slab!!

Thanks

Jen



Hi Jeanne,

I was aware of Keith Evans and the Slit collective, from a previous frameworks
post. However I have found no literary reviews or descriptions of the works in
any detail that I can use.

Sounds fascinating thought.
Wish I had a time machine so that I could go and check out all the fascinating
works that I have been told about!

Thanks 

Jen

 

Hi David,

 

Rebecca Belmore's exhibit
'Fountain', 

Just what I was looking for.

Thanks

Jen

 

Hi Gene,

Gary Hill's
"Frustrum" uses solenoids which were also used in Rafael
Lozano-Hemmer’s “Pulse Tank” (2008)

I work with physical water
in expanded cinema in my studio practice so all works that have used liquids
are interesting to me on lots of different levels.

Thanks

Jen
