This evening’s event is part of an ongoing series of presentations by visiting and resident film and video faculty members of the Department of Visual and Environmental Studies at Harvard.
March 3 (Friday) 7 pm
A visiting artist this spring
at Harvard, Grahame Weinbren is a noted film, video, and multimedia
artist. His interactive cinema installations have been exhibited in
museums, galleries, and festivals worldwide, including the Whitney Museum
of American Art, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, and the
Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris. Weinbren also has published and lectured
internationally on cinema, interactivity, and new technology and has
edited the Millennium Film Journal since 1986. This evening’s program
features an array of film and video works selected from the entirety of
his career. As Weinbren describes them: "The films deal with issues
of language and meaning, music, time, work, money. Meanwhile, the general
question is how to find multilinear structures in a linear medium. Or, if
you can’t find any, invent some. The interactive works are
investigations into the expressive possibilities that emerge when the
viewer has some control over what appears on the screen."
