Schnitzer Cinema: Tender Fictions and Maya Deren’s Sink with Barbara Hammer via Skype
7:00pm
An acclaimed pioneer of queer cinema, Barbara Hammer has produced more than 75 works, including early lesbian avant-garde films that remain of fundamental importance for a new generation of artists. Most recently, she was honored with retrospectives at MoMA (New York, 2010) and the Tate Modern (London, 2012). Innovative, funny, and historic, Tender Fictions is an autobiographical exploration of the search for and meaning of gay community, featuring a rich montage of home movies, experimental films, news footage, and personal photographs. Maya Deren’s Sink explores Deren’s concepts of space, time, and form through visits and projections filmed in her L.A. and New York homes.

January 22, 2016:
The Opening Reception** for From the Heart: The Photographs of Brian Lanker is from 5-8 PM.
More than four years in the making – since Brian Lanker died of pancreatic cancer on March 13, 2011, at the age of 63 – this retrospective exhibition accompanies a major book of the artist’s photography, with reflections and reminiscences by his colleagues, friends, and admirers. Drawn primarily from the images in the publication, the exhibition features Lanker’s extraordinary photographs of rural Kansas, sports, the arts, noted African American women, shoes, and more.
**We are still accepting volunteers for this event. If you are interested in working a shift from 4:15-6:15 or 6:15-8:15, please e-mail Baylie Stillwel at baylies@uoregon.edu
