I met with Dean, also showing next month with me at Meridian, and Konrad, last night, to discuss Konrad’s programming an evening of film in conjunction with our show. The meeting lasted about 5 minutes. After Dean and I explained what we were doing, he offered to show some films from his collection by Stan Brakhage, from his Arabic Numerals series. These abstract films are really just about light interacting with film, light itself the subject. With both my and Dean’s work hovering between abstraction and representation, each of us focused on how light falls on our subjects and how we re-frame what we see, Brakhage’s films will be a perfect accompaniment. I’m super excited.
