Darkened Rooms: A Genealogy of Avant-Garde Filmstrips from Man Ray to the London Film-Makers' Co-op and Back Again

摘要

We are witnessing the reconfiguration of twentieth-century art history as a dark passage illuminated by intermittent projections. Most notably in "Le mouvement des images" (2006), a survey exhibition at the Centre Pompidou, paintings, sculptures, and other material objets d'art were relegated to side galleries grouped under cinematic rubrics. The spine of the exhibition was a darkened corridor with looped digital projections of films that traced a cinematic history of twentieth-century art: Richard Serra and Paul Sharits, Joseph Cornell and Marcel Broodthaers, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy and Man Ray.
