Spring Film Series: visiting artist Jeanne Liotta

Thursday, April 24, 8PM

The Bridge and the Virginia Film Society are pleased to welcome visiting artist and film-maker Jeanne Liotta, who will present a program entitled Thursday Evening in the Universe: Hymns to the void, the stars in their courses, the earth under your feet wobbles and drifts. She’ll present a constellation of works by herself and others, a selection of made, found, and borrowed volumes in various projection formats on the material subjects of landscape, science, and natural philosophy.

The program will include Marie Mencken’s 1966 film Moonplay, the Magnetic Movie video by UK duo Semiconductor, and Peggy Ahwesh’s Warm Objects, as well as her own films Eclipse, Science’s Ten Most Beautiful Experiments (parts #2 and #10), the double-projection performance piece One Day This May No Longer Exist (with soundtrack by Sun City Girls), and Observando El Cielo, recent winner of the Tiger Award at the Rotterdam Film Festival.

Jeanne’s visual art, and selections from her collage book Science Times, will be on display in our gallery prior to the screening, along with the installation loop What We as Humans Trying Fallibly Forever.
