Flicker Warning: This show will contain intense flashing and flicker effects. Not for people with epilepsy or photosensitivity of any kind.
AgX welcomes moving image, sound, and performance artist Joshua Gen Solondz for an evening of selected works that probe the limits of the body, the self, and ecstatic cinematic experience.
Solondz will present new works NE CORRIDOR, a pulsating direct collage film made from celluloid detritus, neon ink, fractured images, and a murmuring cut-up optical soundtrack, and DEATH After EROS, an imageless film built around a translated interview with Yukio Mishima. Selected work from the artist’s past will also be screened, including the ghostly stereoscopic/stroboscopic LUNA E SANTUR and (tourism studies), a densely layered, hypnotic flicker film made from the filmmaker’s archive of personal images. The program’s duration is roughly an hour and will be followed by a post-screening Q&A hosted by AgX member Kyle Joseph Petty.
Joshua Gen Solondz is a Brooklyn-based artist working in moving image, sound, and performance. His films have screened in many festivals and venues including Images, Toronto International Film Festival, Black Maria, San Diego Asian Film Festival, Light Industry, Harvard Film Archive, MoMA, and Black Hole Cinematheque. A 2019 MacDowell Colony Fellow, Josh is a graduate of Bard College and received his MFA from the California Institute of the Arts.
