DOUBLE FEATURE
Art and the Movies
January 22 — April 14, 2013
Blank One Gallery
Since its emergence as a major form of popular entertainment in the early 20th century, the cinema has exerted a profound influence over other forms of culture, including the visual arts, and in turn
many filmmakers have looked toward art history to inspire the unique worlds they project on screen.
Featuring work by John Baldessari, Christian Jankowski, Cindy Sherman, and Andy Warhol, Double Feature explores the relationship between art and the movies, from cinema’s earliest days to the digital revolution of the 21st century.
Double Feature is organized by Laura Burkhalter, associate curator and Jill Featherstone, director of education.
