At the intersection of art history, fiction filmmaking and social critique, Entwistle’s dryly humorous take on the late 1960s revives artists Gordon Matta-Clark and Robert Smithson as they join a youthful Dan Graham on a tour of New Jersey. In what Entwistle calls “a graphic novel rendering of the narrative subtext of their work,” the artist’s deadpan stand-ins dissect society and a landscape beset by commercial development while also musing on their sculptural works. 2010, 16mm, 30 minutes.
