    About Timeless Motion –
    Seven artists known primarily for their work in experimental film and video present new work in the Timeless Motion exhibition at SOMArts Gallery that exposes the elemental components of moving image art through drawing, printmaking, collage, photography, projected light, sound and installation. The audience is given time and space to engage with moving image art in an intimate gallery setting in order to understand and appreciate how the illusion of cinema is both created and perceived. Spanning in scale from molecular to cosmic, the art works on display in Timeless Motion render the invisible visible by reconfiguring the elements of the cinematic form to examine time, image, sound and movement.

  • Small Press Traffic

    Small Press TrafficThis event, led by TRISHA LOW is inspired by the work of Lois Weaver’s Long Table performance.

    From Low:
    I want to know if ~*”selling out”*~ is still a real thing and what it means to you / I want to know if alternative means of distribution mean can we make art for art’s sake and still have people check it out / I want to know if the internet can still keep secrets like a zine-chain / I want to know about freak family / I want to learn how to be a grown up punk.

    Special guests include Charles Weigl, Sylvia Viviana, Ian Dolton-Thornton, Alex Cruse, Sharmi Basu, tooth and Dena Beard – We hope you’ll be one too.
