SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 21 at 8 PM

The New Works Salons series is a casual forum for the presentation and discussion of new works in film, video, sound, and performance, with local and visiting artists in-person to introduce their work. Martine Syms will show new Notes on Gesture, a video comparing authentic and dramatic gestures. The piece alternates between title cards proposing hypothetical situations and short, looping clips that respond. The actor uses her body to quote famous, infamous, and unknown women. She repeats and interprets each movement several times, switching from a physical vernacular to acting techniques likes blocking and cheating. Hollie Brown will show two new video diary works, Sugar for Roses and Scathed and Nourished, severed/remixed documentation of her most recent trips back home to Texas. Andrew Kim and Karissa Hahn will present a collaborative 16mm film entitled I – FRAME, a motion study photographed at the 2015 DARPA Robotics Challenge. Eve LaFountain will show work from her multi-media exhibition Waabanishimo (She Dances Till Daylight), currently on view at the Museum of Contemporary Native Arts in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The Giizis Mooka’am films are an exploration of time, land, and the ghosts that inhabit our environment. Kate Lain will show her work She Collage, part response to the work of California-based collage artist Terry Braunstein, part reflection on the practice of art-making. Like Braunstein’s art, the film is itself a collage—in this case, frame-by-frame hand-manipulated images of Braunstein, paper cutout stopmotion animation, archival footage, and an assemblage of sounds. EPFC’s September/October LA AIR resident Ariel Teal will also show one of her new 16mm works completed during her residency.
