Barry Flanagan: Film Screening
-
To celebrate the ongoing exhibition of work by Barry Flanagan in the Kasmin Sculpture Garden, Kasmin will be screening three of Flanagan's film works exploring the artist's pataphysical philosophy—or “the science of imaginary solutions,” a concept formulated by the French playwright and author Alfred Jarry.
Though best known for his bronze hare sculptures, Flanagan worked across a diverse range of media. In 1968, he began experimenting with film and the effects of light projection. A trio of his avant-garde films from the period including a hole in the sea (1969), sandgirl (1970), and bollards project (1970) will be available to the public from December 8–13 on the gallery's Vimeo Showcase page. This screening is hosted as part of Kasmin/Verso, a multimedia editorial series that aims to offer deeper insight into the work and practice of the gallery artists.
