Film Screening & Poetry Reading by Stephanie Gray
"WHAT YOU THOUGHT YOU KNEW / WHAT YOU KNEW YOU THOUGHT”
Shot and projected on Super 8mm film with the live poetry of Stephanie Gray
Monday, February 17th 2014 - Doors at 7PM, Screening at 7:30PM.
at the Center for Performance Research, 361 Manhattan Ave, Brooklyn, New York 11211
$6 suggested donation
MONO NO AWARE presents recent works by Stephanie Gray on February 17 to launch our CONNECTIVITY THROUGH CINEMA screening series. Gray’s films are visual translations for a city that speaks in varying forms of architecture, typography in advertising, graffiti, reflective surfaces, and the evidence of human occupation. Her relationship with New York is intimate, and her ability to capture the subtle whispers amidst the chaos allows one to see the invisible. Join us for an intimate screening presentation of recent works by Gray presented with live poetry readings.
Among the works being shown are several city-symphonic works about a former hometown, Buffalo, NY; a film of a certain vanishing Coney Island; pockets of mysterious places in lower Manhattan; and atmospheric and wind-driven portraits of streetscapes in Queens and Chinatown locations. Her work is motivated by a sort of philosophical conversation with the city, “even if I don’t always know what it means or what it is, but the filming makes sense of it in a kind of magic way. The city speaks and makes meaning, of both the past, present and future and where do memories fit in?” – S.G.
