Earlier last year I co-curated an exhibition of one minute films by artists for Cwow gallery. We have since had the opportunity the take the videos from the gallery space in NJ to the Scope art fair (thanks to Lee Wells - the other curator) and last week we took it to the big screen.
The Pioneer theater is a great supporter of independent video/filmmaker/artist. Thanks to their programmer, Ray Privett, a lot of my favorite online videos have made their theatrical premiere, here.
See, it's on Avenue A, in the heart of the East Village, just minutes from my apartment!
Lot's of people bought tickets, just like these, to watch the one minute videos, in fact, we had pretty nice crowd!
Then, we all sat in the dark, together to ooh, ahhh, ah-ha and ha-ha, at all the mini-masterpieces.
Afterwards, as is customary, we headed over to DBA for beers and more talk of art, film, tv, videoblogs, internets, creative commons, cats, books. It was great to meet some of the incredible artists in the show, whom I only knew by their work, like Michael Amter, Santiago Cohen and Arzu Ozkal Telhan and to catch up with Betsy Biggs, G.H. Hovagimyan, Charlene Rule and Memo Salazar.
Mim documented with these great photos but sadly, we forgot to take pictures of ourselves?!
Looking forward to the next screening!
