Animator Suzan Pitt creates lush eroticized, surrealized worlds that meld dark elements of film noir with the exuberant originality ands visual delights of pure fantasy. Film, particularly animation, is the perfect medium for touring the psychic landscape. Freed from the limitations of the physical world, the artist is able to explore what Suzan Pitt refers to as the "inner movie."
Two animated shorts will be presented:
Asparagus, 1979, 20 mins
Joy Street, 1995, 24 mins
Suzan Pitt's films have been shown in solo retrospectives at The Art Institute of Chicago, Anthology Film Archives, New York, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and Museum of Modern Art, Paris. Pitt was the recipient of a 1997 Rockefeller Foundation Fellowship.
