Cinema | The Mood Mosaic: Shorts Program Curated by Jodie Mack

Program Description

60 min

  • “24 Frames per Second” (Shirley Clarke, 1977, 3 min, 16mm)
  • “Film Number 15 (Untitled Animation of Seminole Patchwork)” (Harry Smith, c. 1965–66, 10 min, 16mm; preserved by Anthology Film Archives)
  • “Angel Soldier” (Yongbaek Lee, 2011, 23 min, Digital Video)
  • “Spiraalmotief” (Marteen Visser, 1987, 3 min, 35mm)
  • “Puce Moment” (Kenneth Anger, 1949, 6.5 min, 16mm)
  • “Match Your Mood” (Westinghouse Productions, 1970s, 6.5 min, 16mm on Digital Video)

Objects and collections take center stage in this program of short films, which presents a parade of motifs ranging from the ornamental to the lexical. Floral figures question the contemporary artist’s role as saint or fighter; decorative appliance panels foreshadow jewel-tone iMacs; modular tiles take on lives of their own in complex “motion dances.” Curated by Jodie Mack, an artist and filmmaker featured in Surface/Depth: The Decorative After Miriam Schapiro, this program carries out many of the concerns within that exhibition, questioning hierarchies of material capital and navigating the personal and political boundaries of the pattern.
