Adam Robinson and Shane Jones at BOMBlog
Adam Robinson and Shane Jones share a conversation about Light Boxes from start to finish at BOMB magazine.
Shane Jones: I’ll be honest—I hated the Publishing Genius website so much that I didn’t send Light Boxes to you right away.
Adam Robinson: That’s cool. I was just so proud of myself for learning how to code HTML that I forgot it wasn’t 1995 anymore.
Stephanie Barber at Anthology Film Archives
Saturday, July 31
Two Shows!
A Sides (6:30pm)
B Sides (8:30pm)
(click the date on the calendar for more.)
From the program notes:
Anthology welcomes Baltimore-based multi-media artist Stephanie Barber, who has been quietly amassing a remarkable body of work over the last 15 years, producing a steady stream of films and videos that are meticulously crafted and disarmingly modest. Barber uses cinema to explore the borders between text and image, photography and poetry, memory and loss. Each film creates its own whimsical world, teetering on the edge of sadness yet never maudlin. Barber’s intellectually playful works engage both brains and funny bones.Anthology Film Archives is at 32 Second Avenue New York, NY 10003.
