Meta.Morf 2010s avslutningsfest!
The Dream That Kicks: Bruce McClure / Light Trap: Greg Pope / DJ: PIKSEL SOUND SYSTEM!
Lørdag 6. november kl. 21:00
VERKSTEDHALLEN, Trondheim
GRATIS ADGANG!
New York-kunstneren Bruce McClure er i Norge for første gang, men har i flere år spilt i kinoer, festivaler og museer i USA og Europa. Han lager ikke filmer, han framfører dem, ved hjelp av flere modifiserte 16mm-fremvisere, filmlooper og gitarpedaler. Resultatet er en forestilling som utfordrer sanseapparatet vårt, fordi den beveger seg på grensen av hva den menneskelige hjerne klarer (og ikke klarer!) å oppfatte av lyd og bilde.
McClure har gitt denne forestillingen navnet Pie Pellicane Jesu Dominae: And After Several Rapid Strokes of Their Wings. Arbeidene hans synliggjør selve essensen av celluloidfilm og mekanikken som benyttes for å vise den fram; Filmloops dyppet i forskjellige oppløsninger og spilt av i minimalt usynkrone hastigheter, kombinert med et optisk lydspor for å lage en fysisk svært intens opplevelse.

LIGHT TRAP: Greg Pope
Light Trap is a live performance using four prepared 16 mm projectors to create a voluminous and spatial sound/light sculpture that is in constant flux and explores the raw elements of cinema.
After dabbling in punk rock bands and absurdist performance, Greg Pope (UK) founded the Brighton based Super 8 film collective Situation Cinema in 1986 that evolved into Loophole Cinema (London 1989–99), which used 16 mm multi-projection techniques. Working collaboratively and individually, Pope has made video installations, live art pieces and single screen film works since 1996. He currently lives in Norway and is active teaching, projecting and making film.

DJ: PIKSEL SOUND SYSTEM!
Film-projection artist Bruce McClure, based in New York, has performed extensively at cinemas, festivals and museums in the US and abroad. Producing a totally sensory experience, McClure’s groundbreaking multi-projector performances are informed by the way the brain reacts to light and sound. Using an array of modified 16 mm projectors, film loops, and guitar pedals, his work challenges the very substance of film and its mechanical supports. Film loops patterned with patches of emulsion on a translucent base are combined with an optical soundtrack to create a physically intense adventure.
In Norway he will perform a show entitled Pie Pellicane Jesu Dominae: And After Several Rapid Strokes of Their Wings. As each projector sets bi-packed film loops into motion, achronicity is chronicled away. Footage from Birds of Northern Places, a 1950s nature documentary is centrifuged, drawing out sequences in space that evidence time displacement as a primary agent in dimensional perception.
