Films by Hans Richter and Man Ray Screening in MoMA Carte Blanche: Adam Pendleton Series
/
LE RETOUR À LA RAISON (Man Ray, 1923)
In conjunction with his exhibition Who Is Queen?, Adam Pendleton brings together a diverse selection of moving-image works, probing the relationships between subjectivity, Blackness, abstraction, and the avant-garde.
Two “absolute films” by Hans Richter (RHYTHMUS 21, 1921, and RHYTHMUS 23, 1923) and a “rayograph” film by Man Ray (LE RETOUR À LA RAISON, 1923) explore the limits and potentials of the film frame, putting abstract forms and textures into motion. Additional films by Chris Marker and Alain Resnais, Joan Jonas, and Gordon Matta-Clark round out the “Shorts Program” portion of this series at the Museum of Modern Art.
