RICK PRELINGER’s NO MORE ROAD TRIPS +
Conscientiously caretaking the Cultural Commons, our Genial Helmsman Rick Prelinger graces the gallery once again with his open-hearted audience-participatory feature. His Lost Landscapes screenings are legendary for their communal memory-sharing and respect for the “human scale” of the amateur. Here Rick stitches and hitches a dream-ride through the American Century out of a collection of 9,000 personal travelogs filmed 1924-1979, its narrative tracing a composite auto journey from Atlantic to Pacific. Viewers supply the track with out-loud commentary, not only revealing stories embedded in the landscapes, but also speculating on what we do now, with the necessity of a fossil-fuel halt at hand. Come early for eye-poppers from OC’s own library, including the dazzling Car of Your Dreams, the Grand Canyon in 3-D, and the West Coast launch of Incite#6, the “Forever” issue, with free Artists’ Multiples!
