[Frameworks] Tonight! Will Bragger / Matt Whitman at Microscope in Brooklyn

[LBurchill]

Our listing for tonight's 7:30 screening missed the mailing, but here it is:

*Yes: Will Bragger / Matt Whitman*
*Artists in person!* An evening of short films by New York-based artists
Will Bragger and Matt Whitman, as part of our emerging artist series YES.
The work in the program by Bragger and Whitman, who both work with analog
film formats in distinct ways, treat celluloid film as a means to extend or
incorporate other and historically separate mediums, such as painting and
digital media. Bragger has been making films since 1994 by applying paint,
ink, and other materials ranging from ammonia to xeroxed paper directly
onto filmstrips, repurposing in part the early abstract film concept of
visual rhythm, originally represented in works with animated elemental
shapes. Although shot on various analog film formats, Matt Whitman’s works
in the program are focused entirely on the digital screens of current
consumer products and devices. These works — in which words often
materialize on the digital displays as if they were machine generated —
embody a view of our social media conversations, especially in the way they
deal with time and repetitiveness. *Will Bragger*'s films have been shown
among others at Anthology Film Archives, Millennium Film Workshop, the
Haverhill Experimental Film Festival, Haverhill, MA, AS220 Gallery,
Providence, RI, and Echo Park Film Center, Los Angeles, CA. Bragger
primarily works on 16mm film with inks, markers, tape, glue, and various
chemicals. His early films were shot on Super 8mm and 16mm, and made with
extensive use of stop motion animation, He lives and works in Queens, NY. *Matt
