Sheryl Mousley is senior curator of Film/Video at the Walker Art Center.
Sally Dixon—founding curator at the Carnegie Museum of Art’s film program; interim director of Film in the Cities; and a champion of avant-garde filmmakers including Stan Brakhage, Bruce Baillie, and Carolee Schneemann—has passed away at age 87. Walker Moving Image Senior Curator Sheryl Mousley remembers her friend and colleague.
In the second of a two-part look into the curatorial thinking behind the Walker’s programmatic focus on the fiftieth anniversary of 1968, the Walker’s Moving Image staff describes how films selected for the Summer Heat ’68 film series capture the atmosphere and mood of a time when filmmakers and revolutionaries were in constant conversation and asks: is it truly possible to join the revolution and profit as an artist?
Crosscuts, the Walker’s Moving Image department’s vertical, aims to centralize artists’ voices, archival material, and scholarship across the field of moving image.
