Info:
The McEvoy Foundation for the Arts (MFA) hosts 'Love it or Leave it,' an evening of short, experimental 16mm films. Selected by Canyon Cinema, the program features works by Jack Smith, Julie Murray, Jodie Mack, Lewis Klahr, Scott Stark, Tomonari Nishikawa, and Tom Palazzolo. These films employ familiar images and artifacts of mid-20th-century popular culture, laying bare an enthralling decadence of Western fantasy, consumerism, and excess.
'Love it or Leave it' includes the following 16mm films: Jack Smith, 'Song for Rent,' 1969 Julie Murray, 'FF,' 1986 Jodie Mack, 'Point de Gaze,' 2012 Lewis Klahr, 'Altair,' 1994 Scott Stark, 'Back in the Saddle Again,' 1997 Tomonari Nishikawa, '45 7 Broadway,' 2013 and Tom Palazzolo, 'Love It/Leave It,' 1973.
The film screening is part of 'For the Sake of Summer,' MFA's film and music series that expands upon film and music motifs and cultural themes explored in MFA's summer exhibition, 'Ragnar Kjartansson: Scenes from Western Culture.' The music series presents a sonic compliment to Kjartansson's video installations that are "about a feeling, but there's no story." 'For the Sake of Summer' is co-presented with Canyon Cinema, Noise Pop, and the Roxie Theater. For details visit mcevoyarts.org.
