1960s Japanese Expanded Cinema

With the renewed interest in Japanese avant-garde film and art of 1960s, that interest has recently widened to include “expanded cinema” practices that crossed the various disciplines of film, art, photography, music, and performance. The following two events will examine Japanese expanded cinema from multiple angles, bringing voices of artist, curators, scholars, and archivists. The lecture on March 6th by artist Shuzo Azuchi Gulliver will present his work of the 1960-70s, which aimed to widen the artistic expression using film and performance in order to reach the everyday life. The workshop on March 10th will bring together current projects and issues of re-staging and conserving expanded cinema works.
