Art Club: Destructive Handmade Filmmaking with Tetsuya Maruyama
Event Details
Join visiting artist and filmmaker Tetsuya Maruyama for a workshop exploring the potential of destruction to create moving images. Participants will use tactile elements from our lived environment and ecosystems to destroy/create on 16mm film strips. From burning, scratching, marring, and affixing to puncturing and reflecting on our ecological circumstances, we generate anew.
Visitors are welcome to drop in and work on their 16mm film strips throughout the evening. Individual segments created by participants will then be spliced, or joined, to create a movie that will be projected on 16mm at the workshop’s conclusion. This free activity is open to all ages. No registration required.
Materials are provided and distributed on a first-come, first-served basis; supplies are limited. Activity instructions, available in English and Spanish, are designed for all ages. No prior registration is required for Art Club—the more you visit, the more you’ll discover.
Gallery admission is free on Thursday nights, 5–9 pm. Save time and reserve your gallery admission tickets online. Please note: Individual events during Free Thursday Nights are first-come, first-served.
Tetsuya Maruyama’s (b. Yokohama, Japan, 1983) interdisciplinary practice includes film, text, performance, sound, idea, and installation, etc. (not necessarily in this order). His work departs from a re-contextualization of found banal matters and textures as a liminal record of quotidian observations. As an independent programmer and researcher, he has presented programs on Brazilian experimental cinema in the United States, Argentina, Brazil, Japan, and Canada. His work has screened at various venues, including the Rio de Janeiro Museum of Modern Art, Media City Film Festival, Hamburg International Short Film Festival, Ji.hlava IDFF, Alchemy Film and Moving Image Festival, Istanbul International Experimental Film Festival, Mono no Aware, and Cinemateca Uruguaya. He is a founder of Megalab, an artist-run film lab in Rio de Janeiro.
