SHERMAN/BARTEN: TOTAL MOBILE HOME
David Sherman and Rebecca Barten return to OC to unspool underground histories of their DIY exhibition space, Total Mobile Home microCINEMA, and the extraordinary experimental cinema culture that exploded in the 90’s Bay Area. They enact a live cine-essay, mapping a moment in underground film, that began in an illegal basement space, using scavenged technologies, to cultivate intimate connections of makers and audiences. Tis an action-packed journey through the TMH archives of events, including a cine-performance by Luther Price (Clown 3), salons with Bruce Baillie and with Sidney Peterson, and George Kuchar’s video portrait Cellar Sinema. ALSO premiering the TMH Oral History Project, a compilation of annotated interviews with Jeffrey Skoller, Steve Anker, Brian Frye, Steve Polta, Irina Leimbacher, Mark Street, and Timoleon Wilkins, plus pieces by TMH participants, including Harun Farocki’s Parallel II, Emily Richardson’s The Futurist, Lynne Sachs’ Carolee, Barbara & Gunvor, Scott Stark’s Degrees of Limitation, David Sherman’sRoman Chariot, and Rebecca Barten’sAngelpuke.
