[Frameworks] Two reviews on experimental film

[MICHAEL ESTES]

"One complaint about the Gottlieb piece, though.  It's just plain wrong on 
Charles Burnett: he was not "a one man African-American New Wave," and his film 
Killer of Sheep didn't "fall off the map" after being screened at the Whitney."


Yeah,yeah- you must be used to this brand of mainstream journalism by now. Why 
mention it? For all you know he could be better educated in the subject than 
you, but chose to ignore the complications in order to tantalize  the 
uninitiated.

Subject: [Frameworks] Two reviews on experimental film

The new issue (Oct 8) of the US political weekly, The Nation, has two articles 
of interest to this list.

Akiva Gottlieb reports on the 15 moving image episodes of the 2012 Whitney 
Biennial curated by Ed Halter and Thomas Beard.

And The Nation's regular art writer, Barry Schwabsky, reviews Kevin Hatch's 
excellent new book, Looking for Bruce Conner, which discusses the films but also 
the often lesser-known drawings and sculptures.

One complaint about the Gottlieb piece, though.  It's just plain wrong on 
Charles Burnett: he was not "a one man African-American New Wave," and his film 
Killer of Sheep didn't "fall off the map" after being screened at the Whitney.
