Microscope is very pleased to present Pool Party 2022, a three-part screening program of selected works from our 2021-22 Open Call.
The program features a wide-ranging program of artists, established and emerging, from around the globe utilizing and incorporating Super 8mm, 16mm film, 35mm photographs, miniDV, HD, 4K, stop-motion, 3D animation, computer graphics and other formats. With the majority of works made while the artists were entrenched in lock-down, the event finds many of them considering their bodies, personal spaces, computer screens, and relationships with nature — other animals and insects, oceans and plant life, and the light from our sun.
Several highly personal works celebrate everyday moments with friends or unearth previously unprocessed memories and histories. Others focus on acts of protests; themes of social justice and war; the excess living styles of the elite; utopian proposals of world community and connection; and a longing for and appreciation of connections.
The program will take place in 3 parts of approximately 65 minutes each, with tickets available for individual parts or for the full program.
All New York-based artists will be in attendance.
We are very grateful to these artists as well as everyone who submitted to the Open Call. Several of these submitted works have appeared in earlier events this year, and others will be programmed in future events, as well.
