*LESLIE THORNTON: BEGIN AGAIN, AGAIN*
Thornton’s List Center exhibition marks the artist’s first US solo museum
exhibition and most comprehensive presentation to date. The exhibition will
premiere a new video work, *Hemlock *(2021), as well as a new installation
of Thornton’s influential cycle *Peggy and Fred in Hell* (1983–2015).

In a career spanning nearly five decades, Leslie Thornton has produced an
influential body of work in film and video. Her early encounters with
experimental, structuralist, and cinéma vérité traditions as a student in
the 1970s fueled her iconoclastic take on the moving image and gave shape
to her practice of weaving together her own footage and voice with archival
film and audio. In part through her forceful and dynamic use of sound,
Thornton exposes the limits of language and vision in her works, while
acknowledging the ways that language and vision nevertheless remain central
to scientific discourse and narrative in general. Engaging these themes
within a focused survey, Thornton’s List Center exhibition will mark the
artist’s first US solo museum exhibition and most comprehensive
presentation to date.

The relationship between technology, power, and violence is an enduring
concern for Thornton. In early works, such as *X-TRACTS* (1975), *All Right
You Guys* (1976) and *Jennifer, Where Are You?* (1981), Thornton contends
with the basic conditions of representation in film and how the camera
itself wields power. In *Let Me Count the Ways* (2004–ongoing) and *Cut
>From Liquid to Snake* (2018), Thornton takes up the United States’ history
of nuclear warfare—a subject fraught with personal resonance for her, as
both her father and grandfather were involved in the Manhattan Project, the
top-secret effort that produced the atomic bombs that the U.S. dropped on
Japan in the final days of World War II. A touchstone of experimental
film, *Peggy
and Fred in Hell *is a multi-chapter work that surfaces the Cold War-era
anxieties that shaped Thornton’s formative years and plumbs the
psychological impact of technology in postwar America. Thornton’s recent
film *Ground* (2020) embeds the voice of a physicist discussing particle
decay within elegant yet foreboding technological landscapes. The
exhibition’s title, *Begin Again, Again*—borrowed from a line in *Peggy and
Fred in Hell*—alludes to human-made cycles of destruction and renewal as
well the hallmarks of Thornton’s practice: an accumulation and repetition
of images and language and a radically open-ended approach to observing,
processing, and understanding.

Thornton’s exhibition is organized by Natalie Bell, Curator, MIT List
Visual Arts Center. In conjunction with the exhibition, the List Center is
co-publishing the artist’s first monograph with Sternberg Press.

*Jonas Mekas 100!*
In 2022, the world and Lithuania celebrate the life and work of Jonas
Mekas, one of the country’s most prominent cultural figures of the 20th and
21st centuries and a global cultural phenomenon in his own right,
considered by many to be the “godfather of avant-garde cinema”.

Throughout his life, Mekas always emphasized and cherished his Lithuanian
roots. After fleeing the foreign occupation of his native land, he arrived
in New York City, in his own words “at exactly the right moment”, joining
thousands of others escaping the devastation wrought by destructive
ideologies and tyrannical regimes in Europe. One might say that Mekas left
one village, his native Semeniškiai in northern Lithuania, and immersed
himself in the life of another – the Village thriving in and around lower
Manhattan, and in its landmark publication, the Village Voice, helping to
shape American and global culture so profoundly in the latter half of the
20th century.

This centennial celebration, Jonas Mekas 100!, seeks to expand global
recognition of his work and encourage a deeper exploration of Mekas’
prolific contributions to cinema, film criticism, cultural organization,
and, in particular, his body of poems and prose, now published in
Lithuanian, French, German, English, Japanese, Hebrew, and many other
languages.

The centennial program features over 50 events in an expanding list of
countries, including: Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece,
Israel, Italy, Lithuania, Norway, Poland, South Korea, Sweden, Taiwan,
Ukraine, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The vast scope of
Mekas’ contribution to global cultural is examined through film screenings
and retrospectives, exhibitions, readings, workshops, new publications and
translations of Mekas’ writings, and concerts celebrating the spirit of his
work, among other events.

The centennial program is a joint international collaboration between
leading art and cinema organisations, curators, publishers, the global
network of Lithuanian cultural attachés, the Estate of Jonas Mekas, and the
Lithuanian Culture Institute.

*Jonas Mekas and the New York Avant-Garde*
The exhibition presents Jonas Mekas' (1922-2019) work in the expanded
sense. It covers his filmic practice as well as his intellectual,
organizational, and often bluntly administrative approach to the labour of
building and running multiple institutions and fostering new habits of
looking at film as an art form. The exhibition focuses on the first three
decades of Mekas' activities, starting with his coming to New York as a
displaced person in 1949, through to him becoming a central figure in
advocating, producing, distributing, promoting, and preserving the filmic
avant-garde.

The exhibition features Mekas' filmic corpus, including his celebrated
diary films that epitomize his lifelong practice of recording glimpses of
everyday life: while they show personal experiences, marked by exile,
longing, family, and friendships, they are also steeped in the social and
political events of the day. Though known primarily as a poet and a
filmmaker in Lithuania, Mekas wore many more hats that granted him the
title of the 'godfather' of American avant-garde cinema. Before premiering
his first film, Mekas together with his brother Adolfas Mekas began
publishing *Film Culture* magazine in 1955 and soon joined the *Village
Voice* as a film critic. These became the main outlets through which Mekas
channeled his ideas about film as an art form of personal expression and
called for a new kind of cinema free from censorship and existing
production and distribution systems.

An alternative arts movement sprang up across New York in the postwar
years, as artist-run spaces, groups, and cooperatives took the production
and distribution of art into their own hands in response to mainstream
institutional structures and official cultural politics. Mekas had been a
crucial part of it. By the mid-1960s, Mekas' loft at 414 Park Avenue South
became a headquarters for the fermenting avant-garde film culture; a
sleepless hub frequented by filmmakers and artists alike. This decade
marked Mekas' embrace of the avant-garde spirit, as he took part in the
formation of the New American Cinema Group, and the establishment of the
Film-Makers' Cooperative, the Filmmakers' Cinematheque, and Anthology Film
Archives. These time-consuming activities occasionally seeped into his
filmic diaries and even, as Mekas suggested, to some degree determined his
films' fragmentary structure. They are presented in the exhibition through
a selection of critical writings, photographs, magazines, institutional
ephemera, and other archival material arranged in porous conceptual
clusters on the table traversing the exhibition space. Images, sounds, and
materials Mekas collected and organized throughout his lifetime - in his
films and in his personal archive - serve today as an entry point into the
history of avant-garde film culture in New York.

The exhibition pays tribute to this era of the burgeoning American
avant-garde film scene and contextualizes Mekas' output by presenting a
selection of works by filmmakers who shared his aesthetic sensibility, whom
he championed, and with whom he worked, including Gideon Bachmann, Stan
Brakhage, Shirley Clarke, Maya Deren, Storm de Hirsch, Ken Jacobs, Marie
Menken, Carolee Schneemann, Paul Sharits, Jack Smith, and Andy Warhol. A
selection of films is screened behind the curved wall in the specially
designed projection rooms. These rooms are loosely inspired by the
Invisible Cinema, an experimental movie theater designed by the Austrian
artist and filmmaker Peter Kubelka and originally installed at Anthology
Film Archives in 1970.

*The Persistence of Resistance in the Actualization of Memories From the
Past*
In a Benjaminian manner, the films in this section awaken images of the
past with redemptive potential in the present. Redemption translates to the
possibility of resistance. These are the images that will not go away, that
persist and insist on haunting the present.

*Films by Leandro Katz*
An online screening of films by Argentinian-American artist Leandro Katz.
The program includes a selection of four 16mm shorts made by Katz in the
1970s and 80s in New York, where he lived and worked between 1965 and 2006.

*Leandro Katz will be attending the online Q&A with the audience following
the screening at 8:30pm ET. A link to watch the program will appear on the
event link on Monday January 31st at 6:30pm ET.*

Now based between Buenos Aires and Los Angeles, Katz is an artist working
in film, photography and installation known for large-scale projects
addressing Latin American subjects — such as Catherwood’s expeditions to
Central America, the execution of Che Guevara, banana plantations in the
Honduras, and the rubber industry in the Amazon — usually encompassing a
variety of mediums and involving a combination of “historical research,
anthropology, and visual arts.” His body of work includes over 20 films and
videos completed between 1976 and today.

*Los Angeles Station*,16mm, color, silent, 1970 (released 1976), 5 minutes
30 seconds
*Reel Six: Charles Ludlam’s “Grand Tarot”*, 16mm, color, sound, 1987, 8
minutes
*SPLITS*, 16mm, color, sound, 1978, 27 minutes. With Lynn Anander, Kathy
Gales and John Levin
*The Visit*,16mm, black and white, sound, l986, 30 minutes. With Mark Boone
Junior and José Rafael Arango. Cinematography: Viktor Vondracek

In *Los Angeles Station *a single tracking shot of a community in the
banana plantation of Quiriguá, Guatemala is subject to the formal expedient
of alternating an equal number of moving and frozen frames. This entirely
arbitrary rule applied to filmmaking reveals aspects of the moving image as
well as the film’s content previously unaccounted for, in which “the
mechanical tension between the handheld camera's panning and the systematic
stops creates disarmingly simple, evocative effects,” Tony Pipolo noted in
a 1980 review in the Millennium Film Journal.

“Broughton was and is a poet, sometimes a dramatist. Yet whatever the mode,
his style is remarkably consistent: urbane and witty with the persona of
the naïve, or the simpleton, or the child. Like the poems, the films record
the basic rites of passage, the search for love, the primal relationships,
with ironic insight: there are parents who are children, a rube who’s
really the artist, a loony wise man.” –P. Adams Sitney

*THE GOLDEN POSITIONS* (1970, 32 min, 16mm)
“A lovely, poetic, humorous, and crystal investigation of mankind standing,
sitting, and lying down.” –John Wasserman, SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
*DREAMWOOD* (1972, 45 min, 16mm)
“A modern day spiritual odyssey in which a man is mysteriously compelled to
leave his home and embark on a voyage to a strange, magical island. On the
island he faces the most improbable and intense experiences of his life,
ranging from total humiliation to a deep sense of oneness with the force of
life. Heroic in concept, subtle in execution, DREAMWOOD is a beautiful film
by a true master of the medium.” –David Bienstock
*HIGH KUKUS* (1974, 3 min, 16mm)
“A High Kuku is, of course, a cuckoo haiku. In inventing this form
Broughton has concocted zany verses which are ‘high’ in the sense that they
are often metaphysical and are keenly aware of the metacomedy of things.”
–Alan Watts

Total running time: ca. 85 min.

*Stories in Sand and Glass: Animation by Caroline Leaf*
Caroline Leaf began animating as a college senior in a Harvard class, where
she put sand from her family’s Massachusetts cottage on a light box and
molded stunning black-and-white silhouettes with her fingers, forks, and
combs. Sand animation requires a great deal of practice and patience: a
single frame is a “one-off performance” that adds or subtracts a few tiny
sand grains. Leaf later applied this labor-intensive process to painting on
glass and scratching off film emulsion.

This film program explores Leaf’s career, from her student short film *Sand
or Peter and the Wolf *(1969) to films made for the National Film Board of
Canada, including shorts based on Inuit legends (*The Owl Who Married a
Goose*, 1974), Kafka and Mordechai Richler stories, and women-centered
experiences (*Entre deux soeurs*, 1991). These films retell classic tales
of animals and families through daring experiments with sand, paint,
inventive narration, and synthesizer scores. Leaf’s swirling sands and dyes
on film leave an unforgettable mark on how we interpret fables and interact
with film characters.

*Sand, or Peter and the Wolf *(1969, 10 min, 16mm)
*The Owl Who Married a Goose: An Eskimo Legend *(1974, 7 min., digital
video)
*The Metamorphosis of Mr. Samsa* (1977, 9 min., digital video)

*EC: MAYA DEREN*

*MESHES OF THE AFTERNOON* (1943, 14 min, 16mm, b&w. Co-directed by
Alexander Hammid. Music by Teiji Ito from 1959.)
*AT LAND* (1944, 15 min, 16mm, b&w, silent. Photographed by Hella Heyman
and Alexander Hammid.)
*A STUDY IN CHOREOGRAPHY FOR CAMERA* (1945, 3 min, 16mm, b&w, silent. By
Maya Deren and Talley Beatty.)
*RITUAL IN TRANSFIGURED TIME* (1946, 15 min, 16mm, b&w, silent.
Choreographic collaboration with Frank Westbrook. Photographed by Hella
Heyman. With Rita Christiani and Frank Westbrook.)

“*MESHES* is, one might say, almost expressionist; it externalizes an inner
world to the point where it is confounded with the external one. *AT LAND*
has little to do with the inner world of the protagonist, it externalizes
the hidden dynamics of the external world, and here the drama results from
the activity of the external world. It is as if I had moved from a concern
with the life of a fish, to a concern with the sea which accounts for the
character of the fish and its life. And *RITUAL* pulls back even further,
to a point of view from which the external world itself is but an element
in an entire structure and scheme of metamorphosis: the sea itself changes
because of the larger changes of the earth. *RITUAL* is about the nature
and process of change.” –Maya Deren

Total running time: ca. 55 min.
