Projections

One of the most exciting figures to emerge from Glasgow in recent years, Maclean's films feature a wildly imaginative combination of masquerade and appropriated sound to explore subjects ranging from political history and current pop cultural phenomena. Maclean plays all of the different roles in both Germs—taking obsessiveness with protecting oneself against contagions to ridiculous extremes–and Over the Rainbow, a dark, comedic parody of the fairytale, video game, and horror movie genres.

Projections screens feature-length and short-form films and videos by established and emerging contemporary artists. This season includes films and videos by Luke Fowler, Douglas Gordon, and Rachel Maclean to complement fellow Scottish artist Martin Boyce's major exhibition When Now is Night—expanding upon the themes of film noir, masquerade, and the psychological affects of popular culture in Boyce's work. Dominic Molon, the Museum's Richard Brown Baker Curator of Contemporary Art and curator of When Now is Night, introduces each Thursday evening program. An opportunity for discussion follows each screening.
Projections is co-sponsored by the RISD Museum, the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) Film, Animation + Video Department, and the Department of Modern Culture and Media at Brown University.
