Karl Wirsum: screening w/ live musical accompaniment
@ Block Museum
40 Arts Cir Dr, Evanston, IL 60208
Opening Friday, November 4th, from 7PM - 9PM
Digitally restored by Pentimenti Productions, Suzanne Simpson’s Karl Wirsum is a little-known 1973 film that peeks into the sun-dappled California studio of a young artist as he embarks on an extraordinary career. Wirsum’s psychedelic marionette sculptures still dazzle today, while his narration and a newly composed mind-bending soundtrack (performed live) draw viewers into his process and personality.
Live musical accompaniment by Alex Inglizian and Marc Riordan!
Post-screening discussion moderated by John Corbett featuring Karl Wirsum, filmmaker Suzanne Simpson, Alex Inglizian, and Marc Riordan
A brief reception will follow the screening/discussion.
This program is made possible through support from the Terra Foundation for American Art. Presented in partnership with Pentimenti Productions.
