Our listing for tonight's 7:30 screening missed the mailing, but here it is:
*Yes: Will Bragger / Matt Whitman* *Artists in person!* An evening of short films by New York-based artists Will Bragger and Matt Whitman, as part of our emerging artist series YES. The work in the program by Bragger and Whitman, who both work with analog film formats in distinct ways, treat celluloid film as a means to extend or incorporate other and historically separate mediums, such as painting and digital media. Bragger has been making films since 1994 by applying paint, ink, and other materials ranging from ammonia to xeroxed paper directly onto filmstrips, repurposing in part the early abstract film concept of visual rhythm, originally represented in works with animated elemental shapes. Although shot on various analog film formats, Matt Whitman’s works in the program are focused entirely on the digital screens of current consumer products and devices. These works — in which words often materialize on the digital displays as if they were machine generated — embody a view of our social media conversations, especially in the way they deal with time and repetitiveness. *Will Bragger*'s films have been shown among others at Anthology Film Archives, Millennium Film Workshop, the Haverhill Experimental Film Festival, Haverhill, MA, AS220 Gallery, Providence, RI, and Echo Park Film Center, Los Angeles, CA. Bragger primarily works on 16mm film with inks, markers, tape, glue, and various chemicals. His early films were shot on Super 8mm and 16mm, and made with extensive use of stop motion animation, He lives and works in Queens, NY. *Matt Whitman *is a New York based artist working with moving image, photography, installation, writing and performance.
