SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 18, 7PM
Round Robin Collective presents:
Phantom Highway, a slide-show by Katherin McInnis (premiere)
plus a short video program curated by Mary Billyou  with works by Peter
Hutton, Jessica Bardsley & Penny Lane, Mary Billyou, & Jem Cohen
Admission $6

Microscope welcomes members of the Round Robin Colllective for the 1st of 2
screenings as part of Live/Work Space events. For this first show, Katherin
McInnis premieres her new photographic slide-show Phantom Highwayon the
Bushwick Expressway, a project abandoned in an incomplete state in the early
70s. Mary Billyou will also present a short curated video program of related
works from Peter Hutton, Jessica Bardsley & Penny Lane, Mary Billyou, & Jem
Cohen.

“Phantom Highway traces the path of the never-built Bushwick Expressway.
Planned by Robert Moses in 1955 as part of federal Interstate 78, the
expressway  — connecting the Williamsburgh Bridge to routes to JFK — was
scheduled for completion by 1975, but shelved by 1971.  Following the
freeway’s path tells a story of displacement and disinvestment, met with
community resilience and reinvention.” – - K M

Microscope is thrilled to welcome Spanish film-maker Adolfo Arrieta for a
carte blanche night where he will present videos by French artist Marguerite
Lantz as well as a new 8-minute short work composed specially for this show.
The theme of the evening is ‘angel wings’ – also very much present in
Arrieta’s work. The event runs in conjunction with a retrospective of his
films at Anthology Film Archives (www.anthologyfilmarchives.org) from
Thursday September 15- Sunday Sept 18th.

Adolfo Arrieta (b. in Madrid, August 28, 1942) is a Spanish filmmaker,
considered to be the pioneer of independent film both in Spain and France,
due to the artisan quality and the unique spirit of freedom of his films. He
usually uses variations of his name in the credits of his films, such as
Udolfo Arrieta, Alfo Arrieta or Adolpho Arrieta. His cinematic language is
very poetic, apart from narrative conventions, which has earned it
comparisons to the cinema of Jean Cocteau. Having started as a painter,
Arrieta began his filmmaking with the short films El crimen de la
pirindola (1965)
and Imitación del ángel (1966) both shot in Madrid, a milestone for
independet cinema in Spain. He moved to Paris in 1967 with Javier Grandes,
an usual actor in most of his films, where he would live through the events
of May 1968.
In 1969 he met Jean Marais, leading actor in La Belle et la Bête (1945),
Orphée (1949) and Le testament d’Orphée (1959) by Jean Cocteau, of whom he
ad been a former lover. With Marais, Arrieta would shoot his first feature
film, Le jouet criminel (1969), that was compared to Cocteau’s cinema for
his poetic nature. With Le château de Pointilly (1972), he would receive
critical praise from Marguerite Duras.
He won the Great Prize at the Toulon Film Festival with Les intrigues de
Sylvia Couski (1974), acclaimed by the critics and considered as the
first underground Parisian film. He would follow with Tam Tam (1976), the
record of an uninterrupted party between New York, Paris and Spain; and
Flammes (1978), a story about a sexual childhood fantasy turning into a real
passion in the adulthood. In the following years he would make Grenouilles
(1983), Kiki, la gata (episode of the TV series Delirios de amor, 1989),
Merlín (1990) and Narciso (2004). His next to last film Vacanza
permanente (2006),
was awarded at the Lucca International Film Festival, and meant for Arrieta
a creative rebirth. It was premiered in Madrid at La Casa Encendida de
Madrid on May 27 2007, during the polipoetry festival Yuxtaposiciones, and
presented by the writer Leopoldo Alas.In March 2008 the venue La Enana
Marrón in Madrid held a partial retrospective of Arrieta’s filmography,
screening his most outstanding works. French publisher
re:voir<http://www.re-voir.com/> has
released the first in a series of DVDs dedicated to Arrieta’s film work,
beginning with “La trilogía del
ángel<http://www.expcinema.com/site/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.product_details&flypage=shop.flypage&product_id=388>
”

Marguerite Lantz lives and works in Paris, where she did her studies at the
ENSAD and Paris 8. Her performances, videos and installations are of very
varied forms and techniques. They tend towards the memory of the wonderful,
as well as the observation of everyday life. “My work is nurtured by the
meeting of different universes. By universes I mean artistic disciplines
(cinema, performance, fine arts, dance, kitchen etc.) as well as
professional environments (audiovisuals, administration…) or everyday life
(the street, nature, garden, apartment, window…). In addition to this,
everything is mixed up with layers of fiction, memories of the childhood,
dreams.” — M LHer video-perfromances and miniature-films have been shown in
France (Centre George Pompidou, Forum des Images…) and abroad (Corea, Japan,
US, Russia, Qatar…) either at festivals or in national museums.
