*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.

*REFRESH: *CYANOBACTERIA OFFER PERSPECTIVE ON OURSELVES
This art-science collaboration looks at the microscopic ways cyanobacteria
move, on an individual level and in colonies. If we study these organisms
and their varied forms, we might discover ways to improve our future.
On display at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science in the Summit Stage and
Expedition Health, March 2022 - Fall 2022
The cells in your body take in oxygen and sweep out waste products like
carbon dioxide (CO2). Microscopic cyanobacteria use photosynthesis to work
in reverse, breathing in CO2 and pumping out oxygen.
Three billion years ago, cyanobacteria created Earth’s oxygenfilled
atmosphere, supporting the evolution of creatures like us. Today, they
provide one-quarter of the planet’s oxygen, and cyanobacteria like
spirulina provide us with food.
Researchers believe that cyanobacteria —which need only sunlight, CO2, and
water to thrive— could offer solutions to our changing climate. They might
help reduce CO2 on a grand scale, contribute to biofuel production, and
support long-term space travel. This diverse group of organisms offers a
symbolic warning as well: when colonies of cyanobacteria become too dense
or stressed, they can run out of nutrients or be destroyed by their own air
pollution.
Made with the collaborative efforts of filmmaker Erin Espelie and the
Jeffrey Cameron Laboratory at the University of Colorado Boulder, which
created a customized microscope system specifically tailored for long-term
growth and quantitative imaging of cyanobacterial cells; with special
thanks to microbiologist and cinematographer Evan Johnson and artists Nima
Bahrehmand, Travis Austin, Will Alstetter, as well as NEST Studio for the
Arts.

Multipurpose Hall, George Eastman Museum, 900 East Avenue, Rochester, NY
*JODIE MACK: MATTER MATTERS*
The George Eastman Museum is pleased to present selected experimental
animated films by Jodie Mack (UK, b. 1983), an artist who has developed a
remarkable filmmaking style that provides new perspectives on a variety of
familiar materials. Mack’s subjects often include captivating decorative
objects and vintage, ornate textiles. Her films invite viewers to
contemplate the objects’ significance and the nature of disposability.
Mack often works with a Bolex camera and 16mm film, and her films explode
with dizzying displays of colors, shapes, and patterns. While her mastery
of traditional stop-motion animation technique is highly precise and
sometimes abstract, Mack’s films have a joyful, handmade quality that
radiates humor and human warmth.
The following film descriptions are provided by the artist.
A program of four animated short films. Originally shot in 16mm the films
will be screened digitally in this presentation on a loop (21 min. total)
during museum hours.
*Posthaste Perennial Pattern* (US 2010, 4 min.). Rapid-fire florals and
morning birdsong bridge interior and exterior, design and nature.
*Blanket Statement #1: Home is Where the Heart is* (US 2012, 3 min.).
Discordant dysfunction down to the nitty-gritty.
*Blanket Statement #2: All or Nothing* (US 2013, 4 min.). A battle of
extreme extremes.
*Something Between Us* (US 2015, 10 min.). A choreographed motion study for
twinkling trinkets: costume jewelry and natural wonders join forces to
perform plastic pirouettes, dancing a luminous lament until the tide comes
in.

*The New England Triennial*
The New England Triennial 2022 recognizes the vitality of contemporary art
across the Northeast amid the recent years of upheaval and transformation.
Spanning two museum venues—deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum and
Fruitlands Museum—this year’s iteration features artwork by twenty-five
artists from Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode
Island, and Vermont.
Prioritizing change over stability, many of the artists’ practices involve
processes of unmaking and remaking—patching things together, dissecting,
and rebuilding forms using discarded parts. Their collective artistry
reveals interconnected tendencies: a focus on kinship and ancestral
lineages; a search for one’s place in the world; the visualization of data;
themes of ruin and decay, and processes of alchemical transmutation.
Artists in this exhibition grapple with difficult and unjust moments of
history and contemporary life. Some employ generations-old creative
traditions in poetic, passionate, and informed ways. Altogether, their work
unearths hidden energies and stories surfacing at a time defined by change
and resilience.
Since 1989, the New England Triennial (formerly known as the deCordova New
England Biennial) has been a mainstay of deCordova’s programming and
mission, exemplifying the museum’s commitment to contemporary art of the
Northeast region. For the first time, this upcoming cycle will span two
museum venues, deCordova and Fruitlands, expanding the platform for this
highly-anticipated survey of art making in New England. We hope you will
visit both locations to appreciate the exhibition’s full scope.

*I AM HERE: HOME MOVIES AND EVERYDAY MASTERPIECES*
>From the earliest cave paintings to TikTok, humans have found creative ways
to document their day-to-day lives. *I AM HERE: Home Movies and Everyday
Masterpieces*, a major new AGO exhibition opening in April of 2022, is a
revealing look at our universal need to capture, share and cherish the
everyday. Featuring lost-and-found home movies from the Prelinger Archives,
alongside celebrated artworks by the likes of David Hockney, Patti Smith,
Claes Oldenburg, Annie Pootoogook, Arthur Jafa and Mary Pratt, as well as
snapshots, photo albums, letters, television, grocery lists, and social
media, *I AM HERE* brings together a broad range of personal records from
different time periods and locales to explore the shared human impulse to
document life as it happens.
Co-curated by Jim Shedden, the AGO’s Manager of Publishing, and Alexa
Greist, AGO Associate Curator and R. Fraser Elliott Chair, Prints &
Drawings, in collaboration with archivist, scholar and writer Rick
Prelinger, the exhibition is a celebration of daily life and human
creativity, replete with music and creative prompts. Among the artworks on
display will be a digital collage of the more than 3000 submissions
received from around the world as part of the AGO’s 2021 Portraits of
Resilience exhibition. The exhibition will be accompanied by a catalogue
co-published by the AGO and DelMonico Books/D.A.P

*Ieva Balode. Loop of Fear. Solo Show*
Loop of Fear turns to the subject of fear in society, which is particularly
relevant today, after two years of the pandemic and the current horrors of
the war in Ukraine. Fear has always existed in a variety of gradations and
forms: fear of the unknown, fear of the dark, fear of the enemy, fear of
death. Since the beginnings of mankind fear has been both a driving force
for humanity and a stumbling block. It is an instinctive force that has
made humanity form communities for safety and shelter from the danger that
is lurking in darkness. The fear of death has compelled civilisations to
build temples and for people to dedicate their lives to preparing society
for the afterlife.
Likewise, the medium of analogue photography and analogue cinema, which
Ieva Balode uses in this exhibition, embodies this same fear – the fear to
lose and forget what once took place or was alive. It is the propensity to
make the world immortal, the propensity to freeze time in a capsule for
eternity, which, through the lens of the camera, leaves an instant's
impression on the light-sensitive surface of the film. Here light serves as
a record on the surface of a film, which, by dispelling darkness in the
body of the camera, captures what is in front of it through the glass of
the lens, similar to the human eye.
The exhibition presents 16 mm film loops and spatial image projections.
Their mechanical nature interacts with the architecture of the space to
create a slight sense of alarm, reminding us of the fragility and mortality
of the material world. The exposition gives visitors the opportunity to
become familiar with the photochemical film stock as a kinetic object
which, together with several other analogue projectors, illuminate the
museum's gallery in a different light.

*cygnet congress landing*
A trio of films from across Canada engaging with structural impermanence
and the resilience of nature. Geographic solitude and avian society as
beacons from the future of artistic imagination.
*Cygnus* | Brandon Poole, 2022, HD video, 6 min
A networked planet; an improvised signal; the last swan.
Filmed on the northern shores of Lake Ontario, amid the ruined utopic
architecture of Ontario Place, 𝘊𝘺𝘨𝘯𝘶𝘴 takes the geodetic-domed
Cinesphere (the first permanent installation of IMAX), a sunken lake
freighter turned breakwater and an invasive mute swan as subjects of its
tripartite cosmic zoom.
*Congress* | Kyath Battie, 2020, 16mm on HD video, 4 min
Mediated under flight and wing, possible collective memories are
represented through a prism of vast tundra landscapes, a wrecked 19th
century paddleboat and ancient lichen fields. Time, place and history
become nostalgic remnants from the Yukon Territory.
*landing* | Cecilia Araneda, 2021, 16mm on HD video, 5 min
Shot at Bate Island in Ottawa, landing is made from hand-processed B&W 16mm
film hand-coloured with organic and photochemical tones, video and found
sound. landing examines moments of respite in between flight and movement,
where landing becomes refuge.

*EC: Wavelength*
by Michael Snow, 1967, 45 min, 16mm
“[It] is without precedent in the purity of its confrontation with the
essence of cinema: the relationships between illusion and fact, space and
time, subject and object. It is the first post-Warhol, post-Minimal movie;
one of the few films to engage those higher conceptual orders which occupy
modern painting and sculpture. It has rightly been described as a ‘triumph
of contemplative cinema.’” –Gene Youngblood, L.A. FREE PRESS

rituals. Including live musical interludes, the program runs roughly 65
minutes.

*DESBORDAMIENTOS: DIANNA BARRIE & RICHARD TUOHY*
A significant part of the work by the Australians Dianna Barrie and Richard
Tuohy is expanded cinema: film performances in which other factors come
into play that are also related to the workings of the cinematographic
apparatus, its visual and sound possibilities, and the organic nature of a
live performance (with human and mechanical participation always prone to
some randomness). This trilogy of performances we are presenting make up a
series of 16 mm “suites” to be performed by two or three projectors, in
which simple geometric patterns on film are recombined in dense
compositions of sound and visuals.

*EC: (BACK AND FORTH)*
by Michael Snow, 1969, 50 min, 16mm-to-35mm
Restored by Anthology Film Archives with funding provided by the Los
Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) and The Film Foundation. Special
thanks to Dan DeVincent, Simon Lund, and Adam Wangerin (Cineric, Inc.).
“This neat, finely tuned, hypersensitive film examines the outside and
inside of a banal prefab classroom, stares at an asymmetrical space so
undistinguished that it’s hard to believe the whole movie is confined to
it, and has this neckjerking camera gimmick which hits a wooden stop arm at
each end of its swing. Basically it’s a perpetual motion film which
ingeniously builds a sculptural effect by insisting on time-motion to the
point where the camera’s swinging arcs and white wall field assume the
hardness, the dimensions of a concrete beam.
“In such a hard, drilling work, the wooden clap sounds are a terrific
invention, and, as much as any single element, create the sculpture.
Seeming to thrust the image outward off the screen, these clap effects are
timed like a metronome, sometimes occurring with torrential frequency.”
–Manny Farber, ARTFORUM, 1970

*Dana Berman Duff: Short Films*
This program includes selections from the *Catalogue Series*, in which
fantasy tableaux and objects from the pages of a designer furniture
knock-off catalogue are reworked into contemplations on the control and
selling of desire. Duff’s art is in collections of The Museum of Modern Art
and New Museum of Contemporary Art, and her films have shown in the
Toronto, Rotterdam, Edinburgh, FIDMarseille, and dozens of other
international film festivals.
In-Person: Dana Duff and Steve Anker
“This black-and-white silent triumph makes explicit both [Duff’s] and our
own dilemma of consumerism: the remove at which we position ourselves when
favoring affordability over authenticity.”
— Harriet Warman, Sight and Sound
“All the more hallucinatory for their general languor and fragmented
intensive gaze, these films manage to simultaneously disorient and act as
beacons of embedded memory.”
— Deborah de Boer, Antimatter Film Festival

*Scrapbook Exhibition*
2022 marks an important moment for Light Cone: its 40th anniversary. Such
an event should be celebrated in the best possible way. Light Cone has come
together thanks to the filmmakers whose films entered the collection over
the years. We’ve decided to invite them to participate in an editorial
project, a book in which we would publish their contributions: letters,
postcards, photographs, drawings, film stills, collages, etc., which they
have sent us for the occasion of the anniversary. A collective scrapbook in
which the materiality of the objects – paper, photos, colors, handwritten
notes – evokes that of analog cinema, which we have always defended. A book
of images is born, and through the creation of this micro-collection, so is
a portable museum of about one hundred pieces, which are ready to be
exhibited and which will remain in the care of Light Cone’s archive.
With contributions from Michael Snow, Rose Lowder, Cécile Fontaine, Ben
Russell, Daïchi Saïto, Mara Mattuschka, Mika Taanila, Peter Tscherkassky,
Bruce McClure, Charlotte Pryce, Michel Nedjar, Frédérique Devaux, Miles
McKane, Peter Miller, Pierre Rovere, Maria Kourkouta, Emily Richardson,
Jeanne Liotta, Patrice Kirchhofer, Olivier Fouchard, Luc Meichler, Claudio
Caldini, Caroline Avery, among others.
Exhibition opening on Thursday, June 9, at 7pm
In parallel to Light Cone's 40th anniversary celebrations, which will take
place from June 13 to 19, 2022, in Paris, and the publication of the
*Scrapbook*, we wanted to pay tribute to the generosity of the artists that
we have represented for forty years by exhibiting their works in a Parisian
gallery for three weeks. The Scrapbook exhibition will be open from June 9
to 29, 2022, at Rue Antoine gallery in the 18th arrondissement in Paris.
The book will be available for purchase at Rue Antoine gallery during the
exhibition. It will also be for sale at our online shop from June 7th, 2022.
