[Frameworks] Art Gallery of Ontario Screenings Saturday with World Premiere of Body Songs 2
If any of you live in or around Toronto - I’m having a mini-retrospective at the Art Gallery Of Ontario in Jackman Hall theater this Saturday, March 10th. The screenings will be at 2 PM and 6 PM. I’ll be there to talk with audience. And on-going all day in the gallery outside the theater will be the WORLD PREMIERE of BODY SONGS 2 with the amazing RICKY LEACOCK doing camera. We shot a lot of footage at the then Kitchen Center space in Soho in 1979, but it was only after he passed way a year ago that after 30 plus years, that I discovered and completed Body Songs. And after each screening there will be a book signing event for the launching of FLESH INTO LIGHT: The Films Of Amy Greenfield by Robert Haller, published by Intellect Books. For more information, go to www.ago.net/Amy-Greenfield MORE ON RICKY COMING. As Pip wrote in, not only was George Kuchar in the Academy Awards memorial, but so was Ricky, whose contribution to cinema cannot be underestimated, and whose work more and more bridged the gap between documentary and personal filmmaking. ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks

[Frameworks] standalone media players
Hey frameworks,
Does anyone on the list have any hands on experience with networkable
standalone media players? There seems to be two different models that I know of
people using: the BrightSign and the Adtec signEdje. i don't see a huge
difference between the two on paper, but wanted to see if anyone had hands on
experience with either of these, specifically in situations of syncing multiple
units together for looping HD 1920 x 1080 MPEG-2 files.
thanks in advance for any tips!
Pablo

Re: [Frameworks] experimential film in the art world
Anyone can walk by a painting liking it or not, but sitting in a darkened room as a captive audience may not have quite as many dedicated fans True. But people who walk by a painting not liking it aren't exactly fans. One of the benefits of a proper theatrical screening space is that viewers can leave without creating the sort of interruptions that afflict the comings and goings of typical 'installations.' I've been to two public screenings of Warhol films, both of which started with audiences of 40-50, and when I lights came up I saw that less than 10 other folks besides myself had stuck it out. But I hadn't noticed the deflections. Some of this just involves really simple things like creating a transition space between the 'theater' and the 'lobby' that creates some kind of light block, and making sure the hardware on the door closers isn't super loud. ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks

Re: [Frameworks] experimental film in the art world
This reminds me of SOP in the filmmaking department of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago c. 1980. The department's own screening room was closed at the start of a screening event, and you couldn't enter or leave until an official break. Late arrivals had to wait outside. No so much different than most classical music theatrical performances. I never saw anyone try to leave until it was authorized to do so. Respect for the artist, or respect for the audience?

Re: [Frameworks] Abstract Nonfiction/Documentary
Actually I mean both. (BTW I just ordered a copy of Crooked Beauty.) Figurative imagery as you describe is perhaps my first interest, but I am very keen to see how abstract imagery can be used expressively. The project I'm working on is a personal exploration of identity and belonging. Some of that story, as it currently exists, involves metaphor; this I can show with literal as well as figurative imagery. But I would really like to see works incorporating abstract imagery - non-identifiable subjects - used as a central expressive tool (as opposed to its use as primarily as eye-candy, just stylistically, that is very popular nowadays. Its something that I have little experience creating, but I feel the piece I'm working on really calls for it. The titles listed weren't meant as examples of types I want to see more of, but as examples of types I've already seen; I would like to see something different to expand my horizons, as it were. Thanks Franco for the tip off to Artavazd Pelechian. I'm so happy to have finally heard of him! =L On Wed, Mar 7, 2012 at 5:51 PM, David Tetzlaff djte...@gmail.com wrote: Given your examples, i think you might better describe the imagery as poetic or figurative rather than abstract. That is, we see see images of identifiable things, but they are not the explicit subject of the text. Yes?
