Frank Heath: Artist Talk and Screening

Note that seating is first come, first serve. RSVP does not guarantee entry, but helps us track interest and send event updates and reminders.

Electronic Arts Intermix (EAI) is pleased to present an evening with Frank Heath, whose moving-image works explore the inner workings of underground infrastructures, communication networks, bureaucratic procedures, and other complex systems. Often, Heath reaches absurd conclusions, wryly revealing the disperse and bureaucratic nature of power structures and their susceptibility to human folly and historical contingency. EAI will screen three pieces, including the recently-completed archival montage Protect Your Home (Interpret It Well), a music video about home security accompanying a composition by percussionist Ches Smith.

Heath will appear in conversation following the screening. This event celebrates EAI’s distribution of the artist’s work, added to the catalogue in 2021.

Electronic Arts Intermix (EAI)’s venue is located at 264 Canal Street, 3W, near several Canal Street subway stations. Our floor is accessible by elevator (63" × 60" car, 31" door) and stairway. Due to the age and other characteristics of the building, our bathrooms are not ADA-accessible, though several such bathrooms are located nearby.
