Aurora Picture Show presents Objects, Matter, and the Dream State. Wednesday, October 21, 6PM. Co-presented with DiverseWorks.
Aurora Picture Show and DiverseWorks present an evening of films in relationship to Katie Grinnan’s exhibition at DiverseWorks on view through November 14.
Grinnan’s work is concerned with materials, objects, matter, and the creative potential of a dream state. Dive into the surreal dream world with short films from avant-garde filmmakers that have inspired Grinnan including Maya Deren, Stan Brakhage and others.
Grinnan thinks of her sculptures as mimicking diagrams of the fabric of space-time and the feeling of sinking into your own mind.
As these filmmakers use editing, jump cuts, hand painted film and direct object assemblage techniques, Grinnan uses a network of video reenactments, objects, and images to create meta-objects and sculptures where multiple interpretations can unfold.
