Washington, DC, Exhibition Features a “Dreams” Series
An exhibition at the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington DC, titled “The Cinema Effect: Illusion, Reality, and the Moving Image,” includes “Part I: Dreams,” which explores film’s ability to move us between everyday reality and “the darker recesses of the imagination and fantasy.”
Dates: Feb. 14, - May 11, 2008
From the International Associate of Dreams web site:
This two-part exhibition features moving-image artworks by a range of influential and emerging international artists whose works use film language and technology to explore the ever-increasing impact of the cinematic on our perceptions and the ways in which the very boundaries between “real life” and make-believe have become at least blurred, if not indecipherable.
The first the series, “Dreams,” addresses film’s ability to transport us out of our everyday lives and into a dream world. Using a series of artists’ installations, the exhibition moves us through the different stages of consciousness and dreaming, from those moments between wakefulness and sleep to the darker recesses of the imagination and fantasy. “Dreams” is curated by chief curator, Kerry Brougher and associate curator, Kelly Gordon.
