> STREET LIFE: THE PERSONAL CINEMA OF MARK STREET
> September 23rd, 2023
> Doors at 7:30pm, screening at 8pm.
> Recent observational works by filmmaker Mark Street.
>
> For many years Mark Street has been making small, observational films of
> the details and energies of public spaces in urban settings. City blocks,
> parking spaces and storefronts (and the people who bustle on by them)
> become abstractions as viewed in reflected rain or through the scratched
> glass of a bus stop enclosure. These city spaces identify a place but carry
> the mark of time, and are not divorceable from the moment of their making.
> The works presented in this program are all recent works, made since the
> pandemic and its associated impositions of social closure and eventual
> re-opening. During this period, many of us who were stranded, homebound in
> urban places found the types of daily walks recognizable in these films to
> be a rare avenue of escape and source of non-digitially-mediated
> stimulation. First from his home in New York, Street's restless camera
> wanders as soon as it is able to Paris, Belfast, and Glasgow as well,
> seeking visual rhyme and reason between these places and revealing,
> unassuming detail by unassuming detail, specific political contexts that
> separate and unite them. Where art practice and legacy is often spoken of
> as humankind crassly leaving a mark on this much-marked planet, these
> streets have instead marked Street, whose camera functions not as a pen but
> as a foil, reflecting the city (cities) back on itself. ( text by Joe
> Wakeman)
