\nArtist and queer cinema pioneer Barbara Hammer premieres her new performance and multi-disciplinary work “Evidentiary Bodies”.\u00a0Armed with portable, fixed and live projectors and cameras, the artist moves about the space projecting video onto inflated balloons, photographic prints, x-ray scans of her own body, as well as onto the bodies of the audience members. One person extends to many and many people extend to one, challenging the concept of the proscenium screen and the stable audience.\u00a0The performance also includes live sound by Norman Scott Johnson on cello.<\/span><\/p>\n

About “Dreamlands: Immersive Cinema and Art, 1905-2016”<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

This fall, the Whitney Museum of American Art presents Dreamlands: Immersive Cinema and Art, 1905\u20132016, a landmark exhibition that focuses on the ways in which technology has created new forms of immersive experience using the moving image. Artists have dismantled and reassembled the conventions of cinema\u2014screen, projection, darkness\u2014to create new readings of space, optical form, and time. The exhibition will fill the Museum\u2019s 18,000-square-foot Neil Bluhm Family Galleries on the fifth floor, as well as the adjacent Kaufman Gallery, and will include a substantial film program in the Susan and John Hess Family Theater, and a series of expanded cinema events organized by Microscope Gallery in Bushwick, Brooklyn, in collaboration with the Whitney. Organized by Chrissie Iles, the Whitney’s Anne and Joel Ehrenkranz Curator.<\/span><\/p>\n
