March 30th-May 5th, 2010
 
Operator's Exercises: Open Form Film and Architecture explores the surprising and productive relationship between Polish experimental film and architecture from the 1960s to the present.  At the core of the exhibition is an archive of experimental Polish films from the 1960s and 1970s that share several of the interests and preoccupations of experimental cinema elsewhere in Europe and the United States, but that also contend with the specific political, ideological, and aesthetic parameters of Poland during the period.  The exhibition features work by Przemyslaw Kwiek, Pawel Kwiek, Zofia Kulik, Piotr Andrejew, and Ryszard Wasko and showcases documents from the Oskar Hansen archive that trace the emergence of Open Form from its architectural origins to its application in film practices and across other disciplines.

At the Arthur Ross Architecture Gallery, Buell Hall
