in tandem – City Myth Bygone
Press Street’s Monthly in tandem Series
New this year, we’ve begun a screening series in which we ask an artist, filmmaker or cinephile to pair a film screening or multimedia event with the current exhibition at Antenna. This month, Press Street’s Gretchen Faust has conjured a collection of footage from digital archives to complement MRSA’s meandering through mythos.
CITY MYTH BYGONE
“We invite you to visually wander through scenes of New Orleans from times past. Conjuring relics from yesteryear – snapshots of previous time create slices of nonsense. Looking through archives evokes the very nature of myth – as both are unfathomable. Before the journey into our city, we will be put under the spell by a handful of Georges Méliès shorts.”
Film footage will be accompanied by a live score.
Potluck will also be happening! We’d love if you’d bring something to share.
