Join us for a very special visit to the private collection of Barbara and Howard Morse. Barbara and Howard are passionate and informed collectors and patrons who were early supporters of Cady Noland, John Miller, Andrea Fraser and others. They rehang the collection in the Manhattan apartment regularly and this installation revolves around themes of seriality, appropriation, and representation and features work by Tom Burr, Ann Collier, Michael Krebber, Klara Liden, Josephine Pryde, and Seth Price among others.

João Maria Gusmão and Pedro Paiva

Anthology Film Archives
32 Second Avenue

Described as "poetic philosophical fiction", João Maria Gusmão and Pedro Paiva's 16mm films explore and interpret the uncanny through acts of magnetism, transference, and material transformation. Influenced by alchemy, science fiction, ethnography, and speculative philosophy, their silent films question the boundaries of the perceivable world through short, enigmatic scenarios. Having represented Portugal at last year's Venice Biennial, Gusmão and Paiva (collaborators since 2001) will present a selection of their highly suggestive meditations on the paranormal, including recently completed 35mm works.
Part of the SculptureCenter exhibition Leopards in the Temple, the filmmakers will be on hand.
