Projections

Gordon's work explores the profound impact of film on our psychological perception and understanding of the world. Feature Film focuses on James Conlon as he conducts Bernard Hermann's score from Alfred Hitchcock's classic 1958 film Vertigo. While our eyes focus on the fleeting close-ups of Conlon's gestures and movements, we simultaneously recall the distinctive scenes of Hitchcock's film in our mind's eye. (1999, 75 min.)

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.
