Cinema | The Mood Mosaic: Shorts Program Curated by Jodie Mack

Curated by Jodie Mack, an artist and filmmaker featured in Surface/Depth: The Decorative After Miriam Schapiro, this program of short films foregrounds objects and collections in a parade of motifs that range from the ornamental to the lexical.

Floral figures question the contemporary artist’s role as saint or fighter; decorative appliance panels foreshadow jewel-tone iMacs; modular tiles take on lives of their own in complex “motion dances.” This program carries out many of the concerns within that exhibition, questioning hierarchies of material capital and navigating the personal and political boundaries of the pattern.
