Alix Pearlstein Monøgram 6.6 – 7.26 ALIX PEARLSTEIN MONØGRAM 6.6 – 7.26 MONØGRAM The Camera is positioned on a tripod at the farthest point from the rear of the absolute center of the cyclorama. The piece is Structured as series of passes. Each pass is a single take. Each pass is consistent in speed / duration. Each pass begins with the camera zoomed in to the rear wall of the cyc. The camera then zooms out for 20 seconds, to the point that reveals the maximum possible widest framing of the cyc. When it reaches that point, the camera holds still for 15 seconds. The camera then zooms back in for 20 seconds, to the rear wall of the cyc. The passes follow a relay pattern through three Cycles of solos, pairs and trios. Each cycle reconfigures the possible combinations / permutations of 3 actors through positions that maintain, carry over or switch. Each cycle is made distinct through shifts or adjustments to action and wardrobe. POV, Framing, Marks, Camera Movement, Speed / Durations, Exposure and Lighting remain constant. All Action aggregates along the central axis of the cyc. Orientation is frontal towards the camera. As the camera zooms out, the actor(s) enter from the side(s) of the cyc. As the camera zooms in, the actor(s) exit to the side(s) of the cyc. The entrance and exit movements include a pause or two while feeling out the space, the distance between actors and the distance relative to the zoom, while moving towards and away from the marks - these movements will vary from pass to pass. Orientation for entrance movements is towards the camera. Orientation for exit movements includes a few steps walking away from the camera, a turn and / or a few steps walking backwards facing towards the camera. Entrances, Holds and Exits will be cued. As the camera zooms out, the configurations of solo, pair or trio coalesce. Three marks in a row will be located at the point of a tight full body frame (frame on Christen). Once at their marks, actors take their positions, gaze to the camera / viewer and hold for 15 seconds. These holds while still are not static or frozen. As the camera zooms back in, the configurations of solo, pair or trio disperse. Lighting is bright, even and flat. Audio is ambient - foot steps, movement and breath. Wardrobe is solid black, black with texture or detail, off black, black dominant prints; each actor has two looks with variations (change of shoes, sleeves rolled up or down, blouse buttoned or unbuttoned); One look for 2 consecutive cycles. 1st Cycle - neutral / neutral Pass #1 - Stacey - middle, standing Pass #2 - Stacey & Christen - left, standing / middle, standing (dress) Pass #3 - Stacey & Christen & Steven - left, standing / middle, standing (dress) / right, sitting Pass #4 - Christen & Steven - right, standing (dress) / middle, sitting 2nd Cycle - neutral / warm Pass #5 - Steven - middle, standing Pass #6 - Steven & Stacey - left, standing / middle, standing (dress) - hold hands* Pass #7 - Steven & Stacey & Christen - left, standing / middle, standing (dress) - hold hands* / right, sitting Pass #8 - Stacey & Christen - right, standing (dress) / middle, sitting - Christen glance at Stacey* 3rd Cycle - neutral / fierce Pass #9 - Christen - middle, standing Pass #10 - Christen & Steven - left, standing / middle, standing (short sleeves) Pass #11 - Christen & Steven & Stacey - left, standing / middle, standing (short sleeves) / right, sitting Pass #12 - Steven & Stacey - middle, sitting / right, standing (short sleeves) MONØGRAM 2014 single-channel HD video, 11:06 minutes, color sound Edition of 5 + 2AP Please follow Vimeo link for a preview password: Alix Actors: Christen Clifford, Steven Rattazzi, Stacey Karen Robinson DP, Post-Production, Conform: Sarah Lasley AC: Aylon Ben-Ami Production Manager: Nick Rymer PA: Elana Still Photographer: Nathan Fitch Audio Mix: Paul Geluso Director, Editor, Producer: Alix Pearlstein Filmed at Acme Studio, Brooklyn NY Untitled (After Monøgram) 2014 single-channel HD video, 06:20 minutes, color and sound Edition of 5 + 2AP Please follow Vimeo link for a preview password: Alix Actors: Christen Clifford, Steven Rattazzi, Stacey Karen Robinson; with Alix Pearlstein and Sarah Lasley DP: Sarah Lasley Cameras: Aylon Ben-Ami, Alix Pearlstein Post-Production, Conform: Sarah Lasley Production Manager: Nick Rymer Production Assistant: Elana Still Photographer: Nathan Fitch Audio Mix: Paul Geluso Director, Editor, Producer: Alix Pearlstein Filmed at Acme Studio, Brooklyn NY Monøgram (Still 1) 2014 C-print 11 x 14 in (27.9 x 35.6 cm) Edition of 5 + 2AP Monøgram (Still 2) 2014 C-print 11 x 14 in (27.9 x 35.6 cm) Edition of 5 + 2AP Monøgram (Still 3) 2014 C-print 11 x 14 in (27.9 x 35.6 cm) Edition of 5 + 2AP ALIX PEARLSTEIN BIO: Alix Pearlstein’s work in video, installation and performance has been widely exhibited. Pearlstein exploits the legacies of minimalism, structuralist film and postmodern dance to create an affective space between camera, viewer, and subject. She works with ensemble groups of actors, mining their professional skills and subjectivity to explore character, behavior, motivation, relationships, group dynamics and social constructs - while foregrounding the codes of acting and performance. A solo exhibition, The Park, is currently on view at deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum through October 13th. Selected solo exhibitions include Ballroom Marfa, Texas; Atlanta Contemporary Art Center; On Stellar Rays, NYC; Contemporary Art Museum, St. Louis; The Kitchen, NYC; MIT List Visual Arts Center, Cambridge MA and Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago. Performances have been seen at The Park Avenue Armory, Esopus Space and Salon 94, NYC. Her works have been included in exhibitions at Whitechapel, London; INOVA, Milwaukee; Internationale D’Art De Quebec; The Center for Contemporary Art, Tel Aviv; Annual Exhibition of Visual Art, Ireland; BAM / PFA, Berkeley; SMAK, Ghent; The Whitney Museum of American Art, NYC; ICA Philadelphia; Biennale de Lyon, France; and The Museum of Modern Art, NYC. She is a recipient of the Foundation for Contemporary Arts 2011 Grants to Artists Award, and is on the faculty of the MFA program at The School of Visual Arts, NYC and serves on the Board of Governors of The Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture.

  • This Book Is a Compendium of New Wave Posters. It Is Organized Around the Designers (At Last!)
    “This book is a compendium of new wave posters. It is organized around the designers (at last!). It emphasizes the key contribution of Eastern Europe as well as Western Europe, and beyond. And it is a very timely volume, assembled with R|A|P’s usual flair, style and understanding.” –CHRISTOPHER FRAYLING, FROM THE INTRODUCTION 2 artbook.com French New Wave A Revolution in Design Edited by Tony Nourmand. Introduction by Christopher Frayling. The French New Wave of the 1950s and 1960s is one of the most important movements in the history of film. Its fresh energy and vision changed the cinematic landscape, and its style has had a seminal impact on pop culture. The poster artists tasked with selling these Nouvelle Vague films to the masses—in France and internationally—helped to create this style, and in so doing found themselves at the forefront of a revolution in art, graphic design and photography. French New Wave: A Revolution in Design celebrates explosive and groundbreaking poster art that accompanied French New Wave films like The 400 Blows (1959), Jules and Jim (1962) and The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964). Featuring posters from over 20 countries, the imagery is accompanied by biographies on more than 100 artists, photographers and designers involved—the first time many of those responsible for promoting and portraying this movement have been properly recognized. This publication spotlights the poster designers who worked alongside directors, cinematographers and actors to define the look of the French New Wave. Artists presented in this volume include Jean-Michel Folon, Boris Grinsson, Waldemar Świerzy, Christian Broutin, Tomasz Rumiński, Hans Hillman, Georges Allard, René Ferracci, Bruno Rehak, Zdeněk Ziegler, Miroslav Vystrcil, Peter Strausfeld, Maciej Hibner, Andrzej Krajewski, Maciej Zbikowski, Josef Vylet’al, Sandro Simeoni, Averardo Ciriello, Marcello Colizzi and many more.

  • Art at Vassar, Fall 2008
    A publication for the members of The Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center Fall 2008 FROM THE DIRECTOR How I Spent My Summer Vacation For a portion of this past summer I was in Japan, among other reasons, to attend the opening of the exhibition, Paris-New York: Modern Paintings in the 19th and 20th Cen- tury. Masterworks from the Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center, Vassar College, Pough- keepsie, New York, in the city of Yamagata about three hours bullet train ride north and west of Tokyo. The Yamagata Museum of Art was our partner museum on this project and their curator, Nobuyuki Okabe, worked with us to make the selections for the exhibition. It was important for me to attend this event in order to thank the staff of the museum and the people of Yamagata in person for their superb collaboration. The mood at the opening events was very festive and with the support of the local sponsor, the Yamagata News- paper and Broadcasting Corporation, the exhibition received a great deal of regional promotion. There are over one million people in the prefecture of Yamagata and many of them feel somewhat left out of the prevailing culture of globalization. This is the area that Harvard Professor of Japanese History and Culture Edwin O. Reischauer (1910-1990), whose memory is revered in Japan, called “the other side of the mountain” in a famous essay on Yamagata since it lies outside the cosmopolitan Tokyo-Nagoya-Osaka- Kyoto corridor. While I was in Yamagata, I was asked to deliver a lec- Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for the Vassar Exhibition at the Yamagata ture at the Tohoku University of Art and Design on the Museum of Art featuring left to right: subject of the importance of the art museum to a harmonious society.

    Presents MY ART A film by Laurie Simmons “Laugh out-loud funny” – Judith Hudson, Bomb Magazine U.S.A./2016/Drama, Comedy/English 87 min/2.35:1/ 2.0 & 5.1 Surround Sounds Opens January 12th at Quad Cinema in New York City & January 19th at Laemmle Ahyra Fine Arts in Los Angeles Press Contacts: Michael Krause | Foundry Communications | 212-586-7967| [email protected] Assets: Official US Trailer: TBD Downloadable hi-res images: filmmovement.com/theatrical/index.asp?MerchandiseID=573 SYNOPSIS Ellie Shine (Laurie Simmons) is a single artist living in New York City. Ellie has a good life: a stable teaching job, successful friends, and a loyal, aging dog named Bing. As her decades-old dream of a respectable place in the art world becomes more elusive, her frustration with her lack of recognition feels alarmingly urgent. When she is offered the summer house and studio of a famous friend in Upstate New York she seizes the opportunity to hit the reset button on her life and work. She unwittingly finds inspiration in two out-of-work actors who maintain the gardens at her summer retreat: Frank (Robert Clohessy), a recent widower trying to reassemble his life by turning his back on a mediocre acting career, and Tom (Josh Safdie), a young, hungry actor whose wife (Parker Posey) has a less ambitious vision for their idyllic country life. Joining them is John (John Rothman), a thrice-divorced, disillusioned lawyer looking for a summer distraction. This unlikely trio helps Ellie reinvent her artistic identity by participating in her DIY art videos— improbable recreations of old Hollywood films.
