Untitled (Just Kidding)
Central Library 201 W. Mifflin St., Madison, Wisconsin 53703
Untitled (Just Kidding), a short experimental film with performative elements, is a conceptually engaged, visually mesmerizing film/performance. Deliberate mistranslation and strategic denaturing of languages and codes, revealing their extra-communicative potential as sound, image, object-shifting audiences’ concepts of the show, of the cinema. Jesse Malmed is an artist and curator, working in video, performance, text, occasional objects and their gaps and overlaps. He’s recently exhibited at Roots and Culture, the Chicago Cultural Center, Cinema Contra (Denver), Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, Microlights (Milwaukee) and the University of Chicago Film Studies Center. He will be on hand to answer your questions after the film. This programming is co-presented by the Art + Scholarship Borghesi-Mellon Interdisciplinary Workshop in the Humanities, sponsored by the Center for the Humanities at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, with support from Nancy and David Borghesi and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
