Michel Auder Video Art & Discussion

About

In French-American film-maker Michel Auder's work, the camera both witnesses and directs social exchange. It describes a highly subjective position, moving about his environment, recording its soundtrack, admitting incidental drama, autobiographical detail and the real-time incursions of broadcast media. In the early 1970's Michel Auder adopted a continuous approach to film-making, recording the people and scenarios he encountered and amassing an extensive archive of video footage.à‚ His films collide with narratives in art history and popular memory, involving artists, writers, and musicians that he has come to know. Auder's films have been shown at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam and Centre Pompidou in Paris. He lives and works in New York. Auder will discuss his work alongside a programme of short films and clips from his archive spanning four decades of film-making.
