Garrett Bradley: Revolutions – Opening Eye Filmmuseum

Friday 13 June, 20:30, Eye Filmmuseum

The exhibition Garrett Bradley – Revolutions takes visitors into her world: a rich mix of engagement and experimentation in which she critically questions (film) history from a contemporary perspective. The connecting film programme will feature a selection of Bradley’s work. Films she draws inspiration from will also be shown. Join us on 13 June at 20:30 for the opening night with DJ sets by Lee Stuart and Passion Deez. Sign up!

Following the exhibition, the publication Garrett Bradley: Revolutions will be published on 13 June.

About the book

Garrett Bradley explores how images help shape our view of the world. She is particularly interested in the ways America is represented through visual culture. Spanning narrative, documentary, and experimental forms of filmmaking, the publication Garrett Bradley reflects the artist’s turn towards abstraction and the increasingly sculptural nature of her work. Her work invites us to take a step back and consider the question: what are we actually looking at? In doing so, Bradley makes the viewer aware of the pitfalls of representation and unpacks the mechanisms that influence how we perceive ourselves and others.

With a rich selection of film stills and contributions by Rebecca Matalon (curator Contemporary Arts Museum Houston) and Vincent van Velsen (Head of Exhibitions at Eye), this publication offers not only insight into Bradley’s oeuvre, but also into the mechanisms that shape our perception.
