Orbiting Bodies examines affinities shared in the work of SFAI alumni artists spanning decades. Sometimes the bodies are those of the SFAI community flowing together, sometimes the stationary orbit of one’s partner in front of the camera, or a child’s repetitive revolutions around a parent as they both age. Other times these bodies are planetary, keeping ancient celestial time. Threaded through the projector in inventive ways, film can even split off from its usual path and orbit itself. Working with the instruments of this time-based medium, these films question our perception of time, occasionally in collaboration with composers of another time based medium — music. The work and community of SFAI artists orbit one another across those decades. This program, the second screening in a two-part series curated by Steve Anker and Mark Wilson, includes films made between the 1970s and 2000s by alumni and allied institute figures at SFAI or later in their careers. Program Two features work by Alice Anne Parker, Emily Richardson, Luis Recoder, Lynne Sachs, Minyong Jang, Toney Merritt, and others to be announced.
