Summer Triple Feature
July 13, 2024 from 7:30pm-9:30pm
Event Information:
Pumice Raft will host a summer screening programme featuring: Andrew James Paterson's The Walking Philosopher (3 min 46 sec, 1999), Bennett Miller's The Cruise (76 min, 1998) and Chloé Galibert-Laîné's Flânerie 2.0 (11 min 13 sec, 2018). This triple feature takes Never Enough Night—the recent survey exhibition of Andrew James Paterson's life and work—as a jumping off point to engage with works from Andrew's practice and see how they speak to, and inform, more expansive discourses within contemporary culture. For this weekend's event, the city is our subject. These three films ask: how does urban space shape, distort, and emphasize our perception and thinking? What are the socioeconomic forces that hide in plain sight and dictate the directions of development? And, perhaps most importantly, how does the role of the flaneur become a dissident figure within these larger systems. Following the screenings, we will host a Q&A with artist Andrew James Paterson and curators of Never Enough Night: Laura Carusi, Anthony Cooper, and Kate Whiteway.
Art Metropole will be in attendance in case you want to buy a copy of the Never Enough Night catalogue before or after the screening. This is a free event and for research and educational purposes only.
