On the Street and Along the Way

Nanna Debois Buhl, "There is This House".

If you’re walking up Broadway on September 24th between 6-9:30pm, you can catch a spectacular silent video by artist and filmmaker Nanna Debois Buhl, titled There is This House (2008), on a street level monitor. Give your self about 8 minutes to watch the piece before heading up to the screening on the 6th floor. 

Julia Brown, "American Vernacular".

Once you’re upstairs, walk down the hallway towards Harvestworks until you encounter American Vernacular (2007) by Julia Brown. Shot in a historic barn house in Maine, the video features a series of physical interactions in domestic settings, in which one person uses another as an object. Keep checking the blog for Brown’s own post about the video. 

Tirtza Evan, "Icarus".

Finally, Icarus (2004)  by Tirtza Evan will show in the lobby of Harvestworks. Have a seat and watch the 12 minute reverse pan across sites in Cartagena, Spain. Each site is digitally stitched together out of patches, both spatial and temporal, of the city’s urban landscape. Evan writes:

The act of weaving in and out of scenes and moments [creates] cracks into which various characters slide, converge, or disappear. The landscape thus peels and unfolds, but never arrives at [an] intact moment of aspiration [or] origin. The piece is formally engaged with [ideas about] fragmented landscapes, using the camera’s movement as a means to comment upon-or occupy and thereby interrupt-that landscape’s social and political determinants.

 These three videos will be displayed on monitors in the building every night of the festival, though locations are subject to change.
