Are you making sculpture or are you making film? A curated screening of film works that document the sculptural encounter, introduced by Laura Preston, Assistant Curator, Adam Art Gallery.
The Film Archive Cinema cnr Taranaki and Ghuznee Streets Wellington Thursday 15 April 2010 7pm, 70 minutes $8/$6 As a direct homage to Anthony McCall’s ‘solid light film’ Line Describing a Cone (1973) the film document of American artist Gordon Matta-Clark’s sculptural intervention Conical Intersect (1975) is a fascinating study on urban re-development, the power of architecture and its impact on the construction of a social community. This 16mm film will be shown along with the works of New Zealander film maker Leon Narbey, British artist John Smith and German duo Clemens von Wedermeyer and Maya Schweizer. Like McCall, these artists test documentary conventions and use architectural spaces as a stage for weaving historical and socio-economic narratives. This programme will be a unique opportunity to consider what film offers both as a moving document and as a form of sculptural practice.
