My very first graduate seminar at the San Francisco Art Institute was taught be the ever-fascinating LARRY GOTTHEIM. We all had so much to talk about that the three hour class turned into six hours, every week, meaning I had to find a bus home at midnight. It was worth it! Never before had I experienced such an exquisite conversation around cinema and the metaphysical. I was enthralled.
Now all these years later, I have the unbelievable opportunity to talk to Larry about his life and art at @themuseumofmodernart as part of his May retrospective The Red Thread: Larry Gottheim’s Films.
MoMA / Larry Gottheim Short Films
Fri, May 23, 7:00 p.m.
Museum of Modern Art, 11 W. 53rd
Followed by a conversation with
Larry Gottheim and Lynne Sachs
“This career-spanning survey celebrates the work of avant-garde filmmaker Larry Gottheim, from his first film, ALA (1969), to his latest, A Private Room (2024). Renowned for his 1970 film Fog Line, Gottheim has continued to challenge notions of what it is to truly see and be present when viewing moving images; his work encourages deep meditation.”
This evening offers NYC audiences the chance to see four new Gottheim gems, recently completed short films that engage with found footage in such inventive and exhilarating ways.
Pls join us!
