We are very pleased to welcome Maxwell Paparella and Elliot Kaufman for a night of new videos and the debut of the first chapter of World Series<\/em>, a live video lecture\/presentation by inspired by the iMovie effect named after Ken Burns. This will be the first time the 2013 Bard College graduates in Film & Electronic Arts have screened together.<\/span>
\n<\/strong>
\nPaparella’s World Series<\/em> is, according to the artist, “a proposal for a failed project”. The narration of Chapter One Sickest Dog In The Doghouse<\/em> “concerns itself with an amateur analysis of pervasive symbology of modern living – \u2018Thank You\u2019 shopping bags, E(ART)H bumper stickers, perfume advertisements in glossy magazines<\/em> – as well as more localized, vernacular forms – auto shop advertisements, supermarket folding chair floor displays, diner placemats<\/em> – in hopes of treating all aesthetic experience as essentially similar, occurring by the same means and imposing itself on the same subjects.”<\/span>
\n<\/strong>
\nThis work will be preceded by a selection of videos from Paparella’s “My Institutions” cycle, a series of Powerpoint presentation videos related to government, family, economy, education and religion. The program also includes Elliot Kaufman\u2019s recently completed 11-minute, ASPEN<\/em>, a work that combines various digital and analog technologies, documentary footage and 3d rendered materials.<\/span>
\n<\/strong>
\nPaparella and Kaufman will be in attendance and available afterwards for Q&A.<\/span>
