Posted @withregram • @electronicartsintermix Tuesday, June 25, 7pm. Free! EAI is pleased to present The Movement Program, an evening highlighting the use of choreographic strategies in video art. Link to RSVP in bio!
Using their video cameras and editing techniques, the artists in this screening determine the structure of their work according to the recording apparatus itself, complicating the conventions of straightforward performance documentation. In Barr’s The Elevator (1985), pictured above, the fictive musings of two women, choreographers Trisha Brown and Wendy Perron, are moulded into a fragmented narrative through the repetitive use of a snap zoom timed with the open and close of elevator doors.
An open Q&A will follow the screening. This event has been put together by Charlotte Strange, EAI’s Public Engagement and Development Associate, following an invitation to EAI staff to develop programs from the EAI collection.
