Thursday, March 23, 12 PMKate MacKay and Susan Oxtoby: Video Art and Social Intervention: Weerasethakul and Kentridge: From Theater to Gallery and Beyond
How does the moving image change when relocated from the cinematheque to the gallery of the museum? Does this changed spatial experience create a different aesthetic experience? A different political experience? Reflecting on their work as curators of the films of two artists who move amongst these spaces, BAMPFA’s own Susan Oxtoby and Kate MacKay discuss the screen-based work of William Kentridge and Apichatpong Weesrasethakul.
