LITERATURE + LECTURES

Each month Aurora Picture Show hosts a free educational Video Salon with a visiting curator and/or artist at the Aurora Video Library. Aurora is proud to generate meaningful discussions that provide context and encourage media literacy. Sunday, August 28, Aurora presents Collaboration as a Means of Control: Aurora Video Salon with Andrew Lampert.

Artshound apologizes.   The date appears to have changed for this event and we weren't notified until after the fact.

New York City-based artist Andrew Lampert regularly creates multi-projector live cinema performances and offbeat short films with his friends and musical collaborators. Each project is most certainly the result of shared efforts and creative input, yet the end results are attributed to him. For this video salon Lampert will explore the grey area of ownership with a fun, funny and funky selection of new and recent films guaranteed to beg the question: Hey, whose in charge here anyway?

Andrew Lampert is a film archivist with Anthology Film Archives (see Bette Gordon program). As an artist, Lampert primarily produces films, videos and live performances. Over the last decade his works have been widely exhibited at festivals (NY Film Festival, Rotterdam International Film Festival, Kill Your Timid Notion), in cinemas (BFI, Light Industry), in galleries (Mitchell Algus Gallery, NYC & Associates, London), performance venues (The Kitchen, NYC & The Center for Contemporary Art, Glasgow), museums (The Getty Museum, Los Angeles & The Whitney Museum of American Art) and elsewhere.
