ARTSLab on Instagram: "The University of New Mexico’s ARTSLab presents DOUBLE VISION, a double feature of experimental 16mm films that require dual projection, underscoring the performative dimensions of cinematic exhibition. DOUBLE VISION at ARTSLab 131 Pine St NE Saturday 4/20 5pm-6pm This event is free and open to the public. For additional information contact artslab@unm.edu or follow us @unmartslab Third Eye Butterfly (1968, 10 min) is a double 16mm projection piece in which the two screens – at times divided within into additional ‘mini-screens’ causing textured kaleidoscopic effects – blur to create a third wider frame, encouraging the viewers to extend their vision beyond ordinary sight. Storm De Hirsch (1912-2000) was an American poet and filmmaker. She was a key figure in the New York avant-garde film scene of the 1960s and has been recognized as a pioneer of underground cinema. Shutter Interface by Paul Sharits (1975, 24 min) is a 16mm sequence of solid-color frames punctuated at intervals by black are projected to create a long, overlapping band. The installation casts a hypnotic and trancelike effect with its pulsating fields of color. The film is significant for its exploration of the relationship between color, material, and human perception. Paul Sharits (1943 - 1993) was a seminal figure in American avant-garde film best known for his association with structural film, a movement that was invested more in the technical basis and material components of film rather than narrative content and storytelling. @unm_art @unm_photo @unmfinearts @unm_art_museum @filmunm @unmsculpture #newmexicofilm #film #experimentalfilm #vintagefilm #artfilm #freescreening #albuquerque #newmediaart"
