Projections

All Divided Selves explores the work and legacy of Glasgow-born psychiatrist R.D. Laing—who became a charismatic, guru-like figure at the head of the social and cultural revolutions of the 1960s—through a densely engaging and lyrical collage of archival material, Fowler's filmic observations, and a dynamic soundtrack of field recordings with recorded music by Éric La Casa, Jean-Luc Guionnet, and Alasdair Roberts. (2011, 93 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.
