This program includes the work of contemporary artists and filmmakers
for whom the moving image offers an alternative mode for thinking
through abstraction. At times made with direct reference to postwar
experimental cinema, these films, videos and slides exploit the
structurally ambivalent properties of light and in so doing,
radically alter their own reception. Static paintings, collages, and
walls are reconstituted as animate, reflective objects, while
transient light effects are extracted from life and assigned entirely
new meanings. This program is a continuation of LIGHT IS A KIND OF
RHYTHM (Part 1) held on 30.7.2007 with films by Man Ray, Viking
Eggeling, Moholy-Nagy, and Ralph Steiner, and represents an expansion
of ongoing research on avant-garde film and the projected image in
the 1920s.
