Collaboration as a Means of Control
Happy Hour Video Hour with Filmmaker Andrew Lampert
Tuesday, August 23, 6PM
Location: Aurora Video Library, 1524 Sul Ross
Free Admission, RSVP Requested
New York City-based artist Andrew Lampert regularly creates multi-projector live cinema performances and offbeat short films with his friends and musical collaborators. Each project is most certainly the result of shared efforts and creative input, yet the end results are attributed to him. For this video salon Lampert will explore the grey area of ownership with a fun, funny and funky selection of new and recent films guaranteed to beg the question: Hey, whose in charge here anyway?
This Happy Hour Video Hour will include some complimentary libations and snacks. Please RSVP so we will be sure to have enough goodies.
Andrew Lampert is a film archivist with Anthology Film Archives (see Bette Gordon program). As an artist, Lampert primarily produces films, videos and live performances. Over the last decade his works have been widely exhibited at festivals (NY Film Festival, Rotterdam International Film Festival, Kill Your Timid Notion), in cinemas (BFI, Light Industry), in galleries (Mitchell Algus Gallery, NYC & Associates, London), performance venues (The Kitchen, NYC & The Center for Contemporary Art, Glasgow), museums (The Getty Museum, Los Angeles & The Whitney Museum of American Art) and elsewhere.
