Prosjektene hennes byr på fremtidsorienterte, nyskapende sammenstillinger av fysiske objekter, filmprojeksjoner, tekstilbannere og livemusikk, med bakgrunn i sosiale settinger og svart kultur.

Den amerikanske kunstneren Cauleen Smith har produsert eksperimentelle filmer og videoinstallasjoner i over to tiår. Opprinnelig utdannet innen musikk, har hun siden sin første langfilm i 1998 senere arbeidet innenfor både film- og kunstverden.

I utstillingen på Astrup Fearnley Museet inngår en ny film bestilt av museet. I samarbeid med Cinemateket vil også et utvalg av Smiths filmer (Drylongso, Film Workshop og Muligheter og Manifestasjoner) bli vist på et stort lerret for første gang i Norge.

Utstillingen er produsert av Astrup Fearnley Museet og kuratert av Rhea Anastas og Mia Locks.

A shoot, show, or performance by Smith encompasses improvisation with those being filmed and generates future-focused, novel arrangements of physical objects, projections, textile banners, live musical performances, and with them, new experiences of Black social life.

There is limited capacity, so sign up is required. First come, first served for entry allocation.

Since releasing her first feature film in 1998 after an early education in music, American artist Cauleen Smith has produced experimental films and video installations for audiences in the film and art worlds for over two decades.
