Hollis Frampton – Critical Mass

Critical Mass (1971) de Hollis Frampton

El Macba presenta a partir de este miércoles un programa de cine dedicado a la figura de Hollis Frampton (Ohio, 1936 – Nova York, 1984). Comisariado por George Stoltz el ciclo es una retrospectiva que deja en el tintero piezas como este Critical Mass hallado en el youtube por cortesía de Armeror (http://youtube.com/user/Armeror). Rectificación: Critical Mass también está en el programa.

"As a work of art I think (Critical Mass) is quite universal and deals with all quarrels (those between men and women, or men and men, or women and women, or children, or war. It is war!... It is one of the most delicate and clear statements - human relationships and the difficulties of them that I have ever seen. It is very funny, and rather obviously so. It is a magic film in that you can enjoy it, with greater appreciation, each time you look at it. Most aesthetic experiences are not enjoyable on the surface. You have to look at them a number of times before you are able to fully enjoy them, but this one stands up at once, and again and again, and is amazingly clear." - Stan Brakhage
