Andrew Lampert: Tables Turned
@ Gene Siskel Film Center
164 N. State St. Chicago, IL 60601
Opening Thursday, October 9th, at 6PM
Artist, archivist, and curator Andrew Lampert is known for his mischievous live-media performances and hilarious short films and videos, many of which cheekily turn “cinema” on its head. Lampert uses improvisation, unusual projector placement, and sets of game-like instructions to explore (and exploit) the dynamic relationships between projector, projectionist, audience, and screen. For CATE, Lampert turns his attention to the Gene Siskel Film Center in a site-specific performance created especially for the evening. The performance is accompanied by a series of Lampert’s shorts, including El Adios Largos (2013), an inspired reconstruction of Robert Altman’s 1973 feature The Long Goodbye from imperfect source material.
2013–14, USA, multiple formats + live performance, ca 70 min + discussion
