Paul Clipson: Wilderness of Mirrors – NYC – 12.19
Saturday December 19, 7pm
Microscope is very pleased to welcome San Francisco-based artist Paul Clipson back to the gallery for an evening of new and recent Super 8 and 16mm film – screened in their original formats – presented with Mono No Aware. The program of works made over the past three years includes films in which “aspects of memory, dreams and recordings of the everyday are juxtaposed with densely layered, in-camera edited studies of figurative and abstract environments vast and small, all within a flowing formal and thematic experimental aesthetic that encourages unplanned-for results.”
The screening will be followed by a Q&A with Paul Clipson.
$8 admission
Total running time: 60 minutes
