Dear Friends,
This week in the Pelorus Trust mediagallery we present Curves and
Contrasts - the camera art of Robert Steele. There will be no opening
for this exhibition but instead we invite friends of the gallery to
Films in Real Time 1970-79 a special screening of films by Philip
Dadson, Bruce Barber, Darcy Lange and others this Thursday 13th March
in the New Zealand Film Archive mediatheatre.
Films in Real Time 1970-79
In the early 1970s a post-object art movement emerged in New Zealand.
These 6 films document a range of activities from music to the
rigours of physical labour, sometimes raw and unedited, at other
times crafted with an eye for cinema. Films in Real Time 1970-79
features work by Philip Dadson, Bruce Barber, Darcy Lange, Gray Nicol
and others. Presented by Exhibitions Manager Mark Williams, these
films screened last year in New York, Chicago and Nova Scotia as part
of a touring collection of New Zealand experimental film and video.

7pm, 60 minutes, entry by Koha
Curves and Contrasts - the camera art of Robert Steele
With its moody German Expressionist shadows and naked tableaux of the
human body Curves and Contrasts was hardly typical fare for film
maker Robert Steele. A well-known producer of documentary, industrial
and travel films with titles like Here are the Glaciers (194-) and
The Brewery Behind To-Days Great Drink (1945) Steele earned his
living as a commercial film maker. Made in 1946 and starring gold
painted dancer Freda Stark, Curves and Contrasts was a daring study
of the human figure that was only shown at Steele’s private
functions. Today it ranks as one of New Zealand's earliest
experimental films.
