Artists Space

Jeff Preiss and Union Gaucha Productions Screenings & Discussion Thursday, November 19, 7pm Artists Space Books & Talks 55 Walker Street Filmmaker Jeff Preiss's long-term engagement with Union Gaucha Productions has encompassed the production of collaborative work, as well as sharing with Nicolás Guagnini and Karin Schneider an involvement in the co-operative exhibition space Orchard, which operated in the Lower East Side of New York between 2005 and 2008. This evening of screenings and conversation between the three artists, dedicated to Preiss's work, draws on these exchanges among others and includes the presentation of three films: the early 8mm film Boy Town (1987); Twins (2001), a 16mm film produced by Guagnini and Schneider with Preiss; and the premiere screening in 24fps HD video of Part 1 of STOP (2012), Preiss's feature-length chronicle distilled from footage shot between 1995 and 2011.
