Screening: Moving Images

The Renaissance Society at the University of Chicago presents contemporary art exhibitions, events, and publications. “The Ren”—as we are known by many—is an independent, non-collecting museum driven by an uncompromising commitment to artists and their ideas. All exhibitions and events are free and open to the public.We offer artists the time, space, resources, and freedom that are vital for ambitious experimentation and risk-taking. Our work with artists frequently results in newly commissioned art, and their presentations in our 3,000 sq ft gallery spur further scholarly and creative reflections in our publications and public programs.Visitors to the Ren find a uniquely intimate platform for encountering artistic expressions that give form to, challenge, and complicate currents in contemporary thought. Events—including artist talks, lectures, screenings, concerts, readings, and more—offer further opportunities for discovery and discussion.

Film Screenings

<p>The silhouetted figures in some of Silke Otto-Knapp’s paintings appear as bodies in motion, involved in a fluid choreography. These works evince the artist’s deep interest in dance, from the history of its development as an avant-garde form, to the settings and conventions that make it legible as a particular mode of creative expression. For this cinematic screening, she has chosen a selection of dances for film and video from the 1960s, 70s, and 80s, all by innovative choreographers and their artistic collaborators. The program includes works by Yvonne Rainer, Charles Atlas and Merce Cunningham, and Babette Mangolte and Trisha Brown, followed by a discussion of the films with Otto-Knapp.</p>
