*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.

*Cauleen Smith - In Space, In Time*
In person: artist Cauleen Smith; program curator Steve Anker; independent
curator Jheanelle Brown; and Alena Williams, assistant professor in the
department of visual arts at UC San Diego
*Black Utopia* *LP* Performance + Two Nights of Short Films
The UCLA Film & Television Archive and Hammer Museum are proud to present
three nights of work by Los Angeles-based artist Cauleen Smith with her in
person, including a rare performance of her evolving *Black Utopia LP*
(Thursday, March 9, 2023) and two programs of short films (Friday and
Saturday, March 10 and 11, 2023) at the Billy Wilder Theater inside the
Hammer Museum.
Smith, one of the leading American artists of her generation, defies easy
categorization. Moving compellingly between multimedia installations, slide
performances and a wide variety of films, Smith creates nuanced portrayals
of African diaspora culture and its troubled history in the United States,
as well as the issues facing Black women in contemporary life. Smith’s
films, objects, and installations have been featured in group exhibitions
including the Whitney Biennial, Prospect 4 New Orleans, Studio Museum
Harlem, the Contemporary Art Museum Houston, the New Museum in New York,
and BALTIC Center for Contemporary Art in Gateshead, UK. Additionally, her
films have screened at the New York, Rotterdam, Sundance and many other
international film festivals.
--- Thursday, March 9, 7:30 p.m. Program 1: *Black Utopia LP*
Performance ---
In its first Los Angeles presentation since 2013, *Black Utopia LP*
combines 35mm slide projection with the artist's own vinyl LP into a
90-minute 'film without film' that is both a passionate reflection and a
mashup of contemporary African diaspora culture. Originally created in 2012
during a residency with Chicago’s Threewalls Gallery and most recently
presented in the Rotterdam International Film Festival, *Black Utopia LP*
emerged from Smith’s extensive research on Afrofuturism. The performance
involves history, music, outer space and African divination, and it
especially serves as an homage to the great avant-garde jazz musician Sun
Ra. Each time the piece is performed Smith creates new slides pertaining to
the political moment and current locale, and tonight’s version includes
material recorded in Los Angeles. These location-specific images are added
to a pool of several hundred slides, including objects found in archives or
appropriated from occult, astrological and historical sources. Smith's
double LP *Black Utopia* is a collage of lectures, rehearsals and live
performances by Sun Ra as well as commissioned contributions from Chicago
artists Krista Franklin and Avery R. Young.
--- Friday, March 10, 7:30 p.m. Program 2: Short Films - Black Echoes and
Imperatives ---
A program of nine films that circle around urgent Black voices both real
and imagined, ranging from the present to the past and from renowned
political activists to artistic visionaries. Included are* H-E-L-L-O *(2014),
which re-envisions a somewhat revived New Orleans through a series of
musical street tableaux; one of Smith’s earliest and best-known films
*Chronicles
of a Lying Spirit by Kelly Gabron* (1992); the poignant and elegiac *Crow
Requiem *(2015); the redolent utopian testament *Pilgrim *(2017); ; and *3
Songs About Liberation* (2017), *Human 3.0 Reading List Biblio*
(2015-16), *Sine
at the Canyon & Sine at the Sea* (2016), *The Name You Trust in Good Clean
Family Fun *(2011) and *T Minus Two* (2010).
--- Saturday, March 11, 7:30 p.m. Program 3: Short Films - Epochal Cultures
– Chicago and New Orleans ---
Smith portrays two vital Black urban cultures, Chicago and New Orleans,
through several fantasy and documentary films that focus on creative
personalities and locations that are vital to these great cities. Included
are selections from Smith’s *The Way Out is the Way Two* (2012), a cycle of
fourteen musical and philosophical short pieces made in Chicago; her little
seen, richly expressive short feature, *The Fullness of Time *(2008); and
the astonishing interventionist *Space Is the Place - A March for Sun Ra*
(2011). The program will begin with the theatrical premiere of Smith’s
newest film, *My Caldera* (2022).

*FRIEDERIKE PEZOLD (PEZOLDO)*
A photographer, performer, and video and installation artist who made one
fascinating excursion into feature filmmaking with *CANALE GRANDE* (1983),
Friederike Pezold (Pezoldo) is an exhilaratingly multi-media artist, and
one who deserves far more recognition in the U.S. than she’s thus far
received. Pezold’s work is defined above all by a preoccupation with the
intersection of technology, media, and the body, a theme she has explored
in many different forms. Born in Vienna in 1945, and educated in Munich,
Pezold is perhaps best known for her photo series and multi-channel video
works which center on – and tend to deconstruct – her own body. Her
feature-length video *TOILETTE* (1979) is emblematic: over the course of 78
minutes, it focuses on and isolates various parts of her body, bestowing on
them a certain monumentality as well as a mysterious (and comic)
abstraction. *TOILETTE* reflects an overriding goal of Pezold’s work: to be
both subject and object at once.
A couple years earlier, Pezold had inaugurated an ongoing project entitled
“Radio Free Utopia”, in which she designed a special apparatus that allowed
her to move through the city shooting video which was simultaneously
displayed, via a closed-circuit feed, on a monitor attached to her body.
“Radio Free Utopia” was a radical and deadpan funny extension of the
utopian ideas of other video artists of the time, who were determined to
circumvent the restricted production and distribution channels of
commercial media networks. It also became the pretext for *CANALE GRANDE*,
whose protagonist – played by Pezold herself – wanders through Vienna and
Berlin equipped with the “Radio Free Utopia” rig. Incongruously,
however, *CANALE
GRANDE* was filmed – beautifully – on 35mm, in part by the accomplished
filmmaker and cinematographer Elfi Mikesch. An unusual and provocative
marriage of film and early video, it combines the visual beauty and texture
of film with early video’s preoccupation with new ways to produce and
circulate imagery, while also reflecting the new medium’s liberation from
the conventions of narrative drama.
Having held CANALE GRANDE in the highest esteem ever since hosting a
screening in 2018, we are thrilled to showcase it for a full week in
February, alongside TOILETTE, and to present the U.S. premiere of Pezold’s
most recent moving-image work, *REVOLUTION OF THE EYES* (2022), a typically
singular, funny, and uncategorizable piece that finds Pezold meditating on
the changes to perception and behavior wrought by the new technologies of
our own time.
This series is co-presented by Sixpack (www.sixpackfilm.com), and with
generous support from the Austrian Cultural Forum New York. Special thanks
to Friederike Pezold (Pezoldo); Susanne Keppler-Schlesinger & Melina
Tsiamos (ACFNY); Dietmar Schwärzler & Gerald Weber (Sixpack); and Sebastian
Höglinger & Peter Schernhuber (Diagonale).

*OPTRONICA1: 16MMPOLYVISION*
K.REEVES + IVY +
In conjunction with East Bay sister-org Shapeshifters, the OC community
eagerly anticipates the first Coast visit by Indiana intermedia
artist Kristin Reeves, here setting up a grid of a staggering
NINE 16mm projectors for her epic *Bodies of Strength and Power*. Between
two live loop-changing *tour-de-forces*, she shares a 25-min. set of
single-channel pieces, including laser-etched animation and cross-media FX.
Reflecting Reeves' format-frenzy, our first half proposes a provocative
trifecta of meticulous meta-media: Ivy Woods' *concrete* *Contrafilm*
performance,
a classic VHS clip of Wet Gates' triple-headed *Psychic Flock*, and yes, an
ultra-rare 16 print of the 1947 *Autobiography of a* *Motion Picture Camera*!
PLUS Gilbert Guerrero with his already legendary home-brew!

*Esperanza Collado: Things Said Once*
Spanish artist Esperanza Collado performs for the first time in the US her
expanded cinema performance *Things Said Once* (2015-2019). The live
performance is a choreographed reading by Collado of her own essay of the
same title involving the use of fabricated books, film reels, plants, 35mm
slides, and a 16mm film projector, among others. The text represents an ode
to cinema “as an experience” and incorporates several quotes from various
thinkers and filmmakers stemming from her research on forms of paracinema —
as this performance may be considered pertaining to, as well.
“*Things Said Once* is an art statement and a praise for film and cinema in
recognition of its history and our responsibility in the present. Written
as a poem, the text is built around an understanding of cinema as
experience in its spatial, temporal and communitarian or social dimensions.
As a performance, *Things Said Once* is presented as a reading in an
elaborated environment that includes a series of gestures, bodily actions
and objects through which the text is revealed.” — Esperanza Collado.

*Bodies for Strength and Power: experimental films and projector
performances by Kristin Reeves*
Still and moving media have doubled for the human body since its invention.
By following through on the logic that media is body/human/person/material:
outdated found footage becomes media cadaver to exhume, examine, and
reanimate; video synthesizers model brain signal overload; 9X16mm grid
performs a real-time exercise in crafting a personal narrative within the
limitations of our physical selves. With both found and original media,
visiting filmmaker Kristin Reeves pursues material of resiliency, loss, and
control. This program will include: *What Is Nothing (After What Is
Nothing)* (2017, 9X16mm projector performance), *CSP Closings & Delays*
(2017, 16mm Film to HD video & HD video), *&Human* (2011, SD video),
*Threadbare
*(2010/14, 16mm film to HD video), *Body Contours* (2015, 16mm film to
analog video synthesis), *The White Coat Phenomenon *(2012, VHS to HD
video), *The White Coat Phenomenon* (2012, VHS to HD video), *Music of
Desire *(2017, 16mm film to video using analog video synthesizers), *Je Ne
Sais Plus [What Is This Feeling] *(2012-present, 9X16mm projector
performance).
PLEASE NOTE: This program will be happening at the Mosswood Chapel in North
Oakland not at Shapeshifters.

*A Synesthete's Atlas - Eric Theise & Bob Marsh’s Spontaneous Combustion
Arts Performance Ensemble*
Real time cartographic improvisations using projected, manipulated digital
maps by Eric Theise, in live collaboration with Bob Marsh’s SCAPE, the
Spontaneous Combustion Arts Performance Ensemble.
A visual wash of street grids, land masses, water bodies, and curiosities
from built and natural environments. Saturated colors. The subtlest of
tints. Unreal spaces for formerly-real sounds. Glitches in crowdsourced
data. Jittery zooms and pans. Orphaned information and free-floating
symbology.
The performance will last 50 minutes, and will occasionally introduce
strobing effects that may affect photosensitive viewers.
Eric Theise is a San Francisco-based artist and geospatial software
developer. Through video and realtime performance tools he reinvigorates
the perceptual inquiries of structural filmmakers, experimental animators,
op artists, and the Light and Space movement as new possibilities in the
realm of digital cartography.

*THE MIRROR EGG: FILM AND PERFORMANCE WITH FLORIS VANHOOF*
A miniature sitcom to be shown as 16mm film, or as longer expanded cinema
performance with modified 16mm projector and live sound. The middle part is
a dream sequence on an uncut 30 meter roll of film that was scripted like a
computer program: A 4-bit binary code and a long heximal code, written on
paper, were used for positioning, layering and repeating what was filmed.
Floris Vanhoof (1982, lives and works in Antwerp, Belgium) is interested in
the hybrid forms of music, visual art, and film. His first projections
-experimental films on 16 millimeter- evolved towards purely visual
experiences which questioned our viewing patterns. Inspired by structural
film and early electronic music, he builds installations, creates expanded
cinema performances, and releases his music. Vanhoof makes his own
instruments to explore the border between image, light, and sound. As
media-archaeologist, he confronts the digitally-spoiled audience with
flickering 16mm films and 35mm slide installations—formats doomed to
disappear. He often chooses analog technology because of the greater
transparency of the workflow, and because of its rich dynamic range. Cut
loose from all nostalgia, he experiments with what used to be considered
“high-tech.” Vanhoof searches for new ideas with old media. He translates
sound to image and vice-versa by connecting different incompatible media.
He is especially curious about the effects his work elicits in the viewer:
How does our perception operate? Which new perspectives appear?

*EC: STAN BRAKHAGE (multiple programs)*
--- March 15 @ 5pm ET - *THE ART OF VISION* ---
1961-65, 261 min, 16mm, silent
“Includes the complete *DOG STAR MAN* and a full extension of the
singularly visible themes of it. Inspired by that period of music in which
the word ‘symphonia’ was created and by the thought that the term, as then,
was created to name the overlap and enmeshing of suites, this film presents
the visual symphony that *DOG STAR MAN* can be seen as and also all the
suites of which it is composed. But as it is a film, and a work of music,
the above suggests only one of the possible approaches to it. For instance,
as ‘cinematographer,’ at source, means ‘writer of movement,’ certain poetic
analogies might serve as well. The form is conditioned by the works of art
which have inspired *DOG STAR MAN*, its growth of form by the physiology
and experiences (including experiences of art) of the man who made it.
Finally, it must be seen for what it is.” –Stan Brakhage

1974, 67 min, 16mm, silent Preserved by Anthology Film Archives.
“All that is, is light.” –Johannes Scotus Erigena
“[Brakhage shot] *THE TEXT OF LIGHT* in (through) a large crystal ashtray.
This magnificent film – a slow montage of iridescent splays of light and
shifting landscapes of sheer color, which acknowledges debts to Turner and
American Romantic landscape painters as well as to James Davis, the pioneer
film-maker of light projections – is the culmination of Brakhage’s
exploration of anamorphosis.” –P. Adams Sitney, VISIONARY FILM
--- March 17 @ 7pm ET - *THE PITTSBURGH TRILOGY* ---
Preserved by Anthology Film Archives.
*EYES* (1970, 36 min, 16mm, silent)
“After wishing for years to be given the opportunity of filming some of the
more ‘mystical’ occupations of our Times – some of the more obscure Public
Figures which the average imagination turns into ‘bogeymen’... viz.:
Policemen, Doctors, Soldiers, Politicians, etc.: – I was at last permitted
to ride in a Pittsburgh police car, camera in hand, the final several days
of September 1970.” –Stan Brakhage
*DEUS EX* (1971, 34 min, 16mm, silent)
“I have been many times very ill in hospitals; and I drew on all that
experience while making *DEUS EX* in West Penn. Hospital of Pittsburgh; but
I was especially inspired by the memory of one incident in an emergency
room of San Francisco’s Mission District: while waiting for medical help, I
had held myself together by reading an April-May 1965 issue of ‘Poetry
Magazine’: and the following lines from Charles Olson’s ‘Cole’s Island’ had
especially centered the experience, ‘touchstone’ of *DEUS EX*, for me:
Charles begins the poem with the statement ‘I met Death –’ And then: ‘He
didn’t bother me, or say anything. Which is / not surprising, a person
might not, in the circumstances; / or at most a nod or something. Or they
would. But they wouldn’t, / or you wouldn’t think to either, / it was
Death. And / He certainly was, the moment I saw him.’” –Stan Brakhage
*THE ACT OF SEEING WITH ONE’S OWN EYES* (1971, 32 min, 16mm, silent)
“Brakhage, entering, with his camera, one of the forbidden, terrific
locations of our culture, the autopsy room. It is a place wherein,
inversely, life is cherished, for it exists to affirm that no one of us may
die without our knowing exactly why. All of us, in the person of the
coroner, must see that, for ourselves, with our own eyes.” –Hollis Frampton
