An Encounter with Expanded Cinema at Counterflows 2016

This screening is a rare opportunity to see works by American artist Paul Sharits. Declarative Mode (1976 – 77) and Razor Blades (1965) are both syncronised, dual 16mm projections that epitomise his structural and minimal approach and reach for, as he described it, ​‘the higher drama of celluloid’. Also showing is Sharits’ Word Movie (1966) and Michael Snow’s SSHTOORRTY (2005).

Presented as part of Counterflows 2016, this is a contextual event for a new performance by Florrie James & Ross Little with Dick 50, presented as part of the festival on Saturday 9 April.
