My reaction to the phrase: “Minimal cinema at it’s funniest” for Reverse Shot…
“Reverse Shot: Rehydrating the Randolph Street Gallery’s Experimental Film Coalition Drawn from screening notes by the Experimental Film Coalition at Randolph Street Gallery, Jesse Malmed reverse-engineered and recreated a screening using the opaque, often poetic, and fleeting descriptions artists give their work. Descriptions like “Minimal cinema at its funniest” and “Black comedy about a lonely man who tries to teach himself to dance” were activated by makers and performers (Marianna Milhorat, Melissa Myser, Ian Curry, Matt Shaw, Kera MacKenzie + Andrew Mausert-Mooney, Lori Felker, Theo Darst, Eric Fleischauer, Jeremiah Jones, Ben Popp, Hanna M. Owens, Chris Little and Courtney Prokopas, Alejandro T. Acierto and Rob Lundberg) allowing traces of these works to find their way to a new audience.” – from the Extinct Entities Catalog (January 11, 2014)
