"The One Frame Cinema of the Unknown"
New Works by Jesse Houlding

March 3-April 14, 2007
Opening Reception Saturday March 3, 6-9 PM

Gallery Aferro invites you to "The One Frame Cinema of the Unknown", an expansive installation by Oakland-based artist Jesse Houlding. www.houlding.com

Using a 200-foot long sweep of black paper, light and thousands of pinpricks, Houlding will recreate the Aurora Borealis on Gallery’s Aferro’s second floor project space.

He will be exhibiting cyanotype “light drawings,” one of the oldest and simplest photographic processes. His drawing implements for these were a magnifying glass and the sun. Large-scale “magnet drawings” created by moving iron filings across paper with a magnet will also be on display.

Houlding has stated that “My intention is to capture the mixture of anxiety and curiosity that comes with not knowing, of not being able to trust your eyes,”

This month’s exhibition is the first in a planned series of cultural exchanges between Oakland CA and Newark NJ.

Short Film Program Open Call for Submissions
Curated by Kellee Hughes

"...a sort of delegated onomatopoeia that must be produced, must be projected, so that it can be heard, a sort of abstract onomatopoeia that gives voice to a trembling eyelid."
--Gaston Bachelard from Water And Dreams

"deterritorialization of the cinema into the gallery means that spectators who come to these spaces may have a different set of priorities, beyond the normative expectations of a general cinema audience." --Isaac Julien interviewed by Kass Banning

"...shows no potential for abuse or dependance in clinical studies"
-excerpt from advertisement for sleep aid

We welcome short films with any content and in any style, whether it's live-action, documentary, animation, etc. While we prefer to keep this program open, should you want topical guidelines the curator is currently intrigued with the following, which can be interpreted as broadly as one likes:
