Join co-curator Ann Adachi-Tasch, Executive Director of the Philadelphia-based non-profit organization Collaborative Cataloging Japan (CCJ), for a walkthrough of More Than Cinema, an exhibition with explores the emergence and dynamism of the Japanese Expanded Cinema through seminal works by Motoharu Jonouchi and Keiichi Tanaami. Adachi-Tasch will provide information about the works on view, alongside CCJ’s approach to preserving and archiving historical works. As a whole, the guided tour will give insight into Jonouchi and Tanaami’s legacies within the context of the avant-garde movement, as well as Expanded Cinema’s place within the trajectory of experimental artmaking during the 20th century.
Presented by Pioneer Works, More Than Cinema is organized by Collaborative Cataloging Japan, and curated by Go Hirasawa, Julian Ross, and Ann Adachi-Tasch. It was made possible with generous support from the National Endowment of the Arts, Japan-US Friendship Commission, and the Japan Foundation, New York.
