March

Anthony McCall
Drawing with light
Adam Art Gallery, 24 February - 25 April

Special performance of Line Describing a Cone in conjunction with the New Zealand Film Archive

Line Describing a Cone (1973) is famous in the history of avant-garde film for its reduction of the cinematic experience to its core ingredients: projected light in physical space. For 30 minutes a beam of light from a 16mm film projector draws a perfect circle on a distant screen. In the space between, a solid cone takes shape as light particles cling to a haze filled room. Transforming the viewer’s usual passive relation to the film medium, this work invites an active engagement with the cinematic experience.

Don’t miss this one off opportunity to experience the first of McCall’s extraordinary ‘solid light films’.

Wellington Town Hall

Performance commences promptly at 7pm
(Doors open 6.45pm. Doors close 7.00pm. No late entry). $5 entry
