Christian Marclay’s UP AND OUT at Anthology Film Archives

Christian Marclay’s UP AND OUT

Christian Marclay possesses an instantly recognizable signature across a number of mediums. As a musician his instrument is the vintage grade school record player; as an artist he evokes the aural through primarily visual and tactile means. Whether working with vinyl, sculpture, photo or video, Marclay brings a unique ability to negotiate and extrapolate new meanings
and deeper understanding from intimate objects, familiar images and found sounds. These three screenings of UP AND OUT are presented in collaboration with Paula Cooper Gallery.

Film critic Amy Taubin will be present for a conversation with Christian Marclay following the Friday, Oct 26th screening.

* Friday Oct 26 8:00 PM
* Saturday Oct 27 8:00 PM

Pierre Rigal/Aur??lien Bory ??rection NY Premiere!?

Wednesday-Friday, October 24-26, 7:30 pm

Saturday, October 27, 7:30 & 9:30pm

In this poignant tribute to Homo erectus, the explosive French dancer and former athlete Pierre Rigal writhes, jolts, and bends his way from belly to feet, turning each stage in the evolutionary process into a daring poem of perseverance. Production designer Aur??lien Bory’s morphing projections of austere, elemental light define the limited space within which Rigal? can act, as he fights for the dignity of standing.
