I’m really excited about getting hands on with the Curzon Cinema’s (in Clevedon, England) fine collection of projectors and other Cinema apparatus. I first contacted them in 2011 about my idea of doing an ‘Artists Residency’ IN the collection to explore creative projects, repurposings, workshops, events and experiments that all utilise and respond in some way to the objects moving image functions.
Here’s a very nice hand powered 35mm projector that I am going to check over get fully working along with about 3 others.
Id like to make something in the mould of Oskar Fischingers 1926 Raumlichtkunst but with hand cranked machines and historic gel colours.
