ARCANE PROJECT

8PM FRIDAY
FEB. 8, 2008

NATIONAL ARTS CLUB
15 GRAMERCY PARK SOUTH
New York City

An evening of glass slides, magic lantern projections, and antique technologies,
in inventive combinations, with silent films and sound recordings
played on the wind-up Victrola and other musical devices.

Lary Seven, Joel Schlemowitz and Bradley Eros,
experimental film artists and collectors of obsolete media artifacts,
present a night of uncanny images:
mysterious travels,
occult iconography,
bizarre creatures,
industrial detritus,
and
the strange and wondrous
landscapes of fairy tales,
fables and myths
of the artificial sublime,
displayed through
the translucent exotica
of hand-tinted photographs,
decayed surfaces,
and
the odd symbols
and
illustrations
of the mundane
made marvelous.
