I will be presenting and speaking on a program of films by Stan Brakhage at the Film Center in Chicago, December 2, 2023, at 2:15 PM. I have begun making films again, forty years after having stopped, in video form but possibly also to be trasnferred to film, and links are now posted to these works, of which more are coming.
Just published by the journal Logos is my long jeremaid on our collapsing culture, and what is for me the restorative power of the best art.
Two friends have made videos about my art, Dreams of Lost Wholeness by Brian Hischier, and fred's unthreadings by Yoel Meranda. As a result, I have placed for the first time works from my current project , Weeks and Months , on this site, from the shooting Brian Hischier documented.
