Included are works shot in Havana, Japan, Ireland, and Holland; video paintings made on analog (Quantel Paintbox, Fairlight CVI) and digital technology; and music videos from Gordon’s wide span of work from solo albums to recordings with his Love of Life Orchestra and recordings with Tim Burgess, David Cunningham, and Factory Floor. The evening will conclude with the US premiere of De Dode (The Deadman), based on the story by George Bataille, produced as part of a theatrical production in The Netherlands in 1992. Kit Fitzgerald will appear in person for a conversation following the screening.

“Working in the usually hard-edged medium of video, Kit Fitzgerald is a maverick sensibility. Everything she videotapes or creates on the spot, using a computerized keyboard known as a video paint box, glows with a mysterious inner radiance.” – The New York Times
“Her images are avant-garde painting of a high order.” – The New Yorker
