In person: Lewis Klahr and Barbara McCullough
The central work in the exhibition Mickalene Thomas: Do I Look Like a Lady? sees Thomas’s recurrent strategies of collage, fragmentation, and multiplicity transferred to the domain of video, where montage provides the means to embody conflict. Presented in conjunction with the exhibition, this program features experimental films and videos—including the West Coast Premiere of Ephraim Asili’s Kindah as well as films by Santiago Alvarez, Julie Dash, Ja’Tovia M. Gary, Jean-Luc Godard, Lewis Klahr, Barbara McCullough, and Betye Saar—that use collage and montage as a way to claim space, create consciousness, or embody filmic erotics.
