\nMicroscope Gallery turns the night over to curator Catherine Corman for \u201cAntiquarian Avant-Garde Film Soir\u00e9e\u201d, a program of film, video and performance works by Corman as well as artists Gill Arno, Bradley Eros, and Joel Schlemowitz. Seeking the natural, the genuine, the unguarded moment, in forms that are outdated or otherwise forgotten by most current practitioners, the works in the program re-engage with that which was once the avant-garde, referencing silent films and pre-cinematic devices, including handcrafted 16mm film, 35mm slides, live foley and more.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhile photographing the American West, Robert Adams often referred to a quote from Stuart Davis on his goal as an artist. \u2018I am not looking for something newer and greater. Everything new and great already exists – has always existed. We need to make our connection with it.\u2019 \u2013 CC<\/span><\/p>\n

The program is inspired by Joseph Cornell and Jean Painlev\u00e9.<\/span>
