Given our\u00c2\u00a0ongoing curiosity for the unknown, Curious Cabinets explores the notion of\u00c2\u00a0\u00e2\u20ac\u0153farsickness\u00e2\u20ac\u009d through various manifestations.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">In Penny Lane\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s The Voyagers, two-stories are interwoven: a love-story between Carl\u00c2\u00a0Sagan and his future wife Anna Druyan, and a story about the 1977 launching of\u00c2\u00a0Sagan\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s golden records into space. The Voyagers is both a beautiful homage to Carl\u00c2\u00a0Sagan and a tribute to life on this planet. In Lee Arnold\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s celestial time-lapse\u00c2\u00a0photography Clouds, the filmmaker uses an upward camera angle as a gestural nod to\u00c2\u00a0the cosmic ocean that Lane probes in The Voyagers. A stellar piece chronicling the\u00c2\u00a0changing sky over Brooklyn on a single fall day, Arnold\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s exploration of the temporal is\u00c2\u00a0also reflected in David Baumflek\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s moving video Earthrise. Baumflek contrasts the voice\u00c2\u00a0of an older man, who recounts his experience of loss and the mystery of hindsight, with\u00c2\u00a0abstracted images of light and motion shot the same year by astronauts circling the\u00c2\u00a0moon.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Representing the more eccentric side of fernweh is the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153identity contortionist\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Alison\u00c2\u00a0Kobayashi, whose From Alex to Alex tells the PG-13 love-story of two \u00e2\u20ac\u0153mostly gay\u00e2\u20ac\u009d\u00c2\u00a0fourteen year old classmates of the same name. Fascinated with the origins of found\u00c2\u00a0objects, nostalgic iconography, and the lives of others, this interpretative piece was\u00c2\u00a0based on a letter found on Ontario\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Winston Churchill Boulevard that read \u00e2\u20ac\u0153From Alex to\u00c2\u00a0Alex.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d If Kobayashi imagines the lives of others, Daniel Lichtman\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Site Visit (That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s The\u00c2\u00a0Man I Am) privileges his experience as subject. Filmed in a Cathedral in England,\u00c2\u00a0Lichtman interjects a semi-personal narrative about a man and female with close-circuit\u00c2\u00a0shots of non-correlating imagery. In his exploration of human behavior and the creation\u00c2\u00a0of subjective experience within a highly politicized space, Lichtman questions how\u00c2\u00a0humankind relates to a tradition of ready-made histories.<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sweetening up the texture of the program is Carlos Charlie Perez\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 autobiographical I\u00c2\u00a0Miss You, a story about the love\/kinship between a mouse and tower. If the inverse of\u00c2\u00a0\u00e2\u20ac\u0153farsickness\u00e2\u20ac\u009d is homesickness, this metaphorical love-story evokes a sense of curious\u00c2\u00a0wonder between two unlikely figures that have found home. Rounding out the program is\u00c2\u00a0Stephen Rife\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s The Cello Incident, a mini-feature documentary. Rife was invited to\u00c2\u00a0participate in a ceremony to honor the life of the 16th\u00c2\u00a0century philosopher Giordano\u00c2\u00a0Bruno, a heretic and champion of free thought. Rife created a performance for the\u00c2\u00a0occasion that involved the burning of a broken cello. Stolen before the performance, the\u00c2\u00a0cello sparks a journey across Minnesota to talk about death, religion, philosophy and\u00c2\u00a0artistic communities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Selected from Digimovies\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 ConceptPlus, an innovative model that set out to democratize\u00c2\u00a0exhibition opportunities by focusing on the artistic idea itself, Curious Cabinets is\u00c2\u00a0curated by Curatorial Assistant Candice Strongwater.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">www.exitart.org<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EVERY EXIT IS AN ENTRANCE: 30 Years of Exit Art Digimovies Plus: Curious Cabinets May 2 \/ 7pm 475 Tenth Ave. New York, NY 10018 Exit Art is pleased to present Digimovies Plus:\u00c2\u00a0Curious Cabinets, a one-night event of experimental digital films that explores both the\u00c2\u00a0literal and abstract interpretations of fernweh, the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153ache for distant places.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d&hellip; <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.asmk.ca\/WP\/curious-cabinets-at-exit-art-nyc\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Curious Cabinets at Exit Art, NYC<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1044","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-screenings","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.asmk.ca\/WP\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1044","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.asmk.ca\/WP\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.asmk.ca\/WP\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.asmk.ca\/WP\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.asmk.ca\/WP\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1044"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/www.asmk.ca\/WP\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1044\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1054,"href":"https:\/\/www.asmk.ca\/WP\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1044\/revisions\/1054"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.asmk.ca\/WP\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1044"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.asmk.ca\/WP\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1044"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.asmk.ca\/WP\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1044"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
