Merce Cunningham for Camera, Sunday, December 15
Throughout his long career, Merce Cunningham (1919—2009)  continuously experimented with the limits of human movement, always gauging the historic relevancy of his art, especially in relation to current technology and media. In the 1960s, he began collaborating with several experimental film and media makers to integrate their unique syntax of framing and editing into his work. The program includes Cunningham’s collaboration with Charles Atlas, Nam June Paik, and Shigeko Kubota, which was staged for public television. 
BAM Rose Cinemas, Peter Sharp Building, 30 Lafayette Avenue, Brooklyn, NY. Tickets $13/$9/$8. The program will feature a post-screening discussion with Charles Atlas and Rebecca Cleman of EAI (Electronic Arts Intermix). Below: Screen shot from a work by Nam June Paik.
