Chronicles and Other Things with Michel Auder
Sunday, September 11 at 7 PM
Ticket Price $6
Michel Auder's cinema verité style video memoirs have simultaneously
documented his personal domestic environment and that of the New York art
world, from the glitterati of Andy Warhol's Factory in the late-1960s to
today. In Auder's video diaries, life and art are not necessarily discrete
entities, and are often intensely intertwined. His work functions as a form
of visual autobiography, documenting the self in relation to others, while
also bringing to attention the way technologies of representation mediate
between individual and social histories.
Works to be screened: Chelsea Girls with Andy Warhol, 1971-76, 88 min,
video, 15 min excerpt; Annie Sprinkle, 1981, 33 min, video; The Games:
Olympic Variations, 1984, 22 min, video; The Conversation, Brooklyn 2003, 4
min, video; My Last Bag of Heroin (for real) 1986, 4 min, video; My First
Pipe of Opium since 1973, Mexico November 2004 7 min, video
Michel Auder will introduce the program and take questions afterwards.
Running Time: 85 min.
Curated by Sabrina Gschwandtner and Michel Auder.
