LUCY BULL 24 HR MOVIE MARATHON

In conjunction with her solo exhibition of new paintings, Ash Tree, Lucy Bull has curated a 24-hour screening of films at Lumiere Cinema, beginning at 11 AM on June 1 and ending at 11 AM on June 2.

Bull has long been interested in the changes in perception that take place when visual and sound experiences are layered upon each other. Such changes are a focus of this movie marathon, which extends to the marquee outside Lumiere Cinema: Bull has made a three-part painting designed to fit the theater’s marquee lightbox and whose existence will be limited to the duration of the event itself. The heterogeneous nature of the film programming, meanwhile—which includes works by Pedro Almodóvar, Hideaki Anno, Jean Cocteau, David Cronenberg, Jon Rafman, and Tsai Ming-liang, among others—speaks to the artist’s curiosity about the many ways in which visual and non-visual stimuli can be registered, communicated, and felt. It also demonstrates how her paintings, though static in their final forms, are parts of a world that moves, changes, and knows itself through the perceptions of the beings, human and otherwise, who encounter it.
