Geometry of Motion 1920s/1970s, March 19–July 28, 2008, The Yoshiko and Akio Morita Media Gallery, second floor, The Museum of Modern Art.
"This exhibition considers the transformation of the art object from static image to light projection within two distinct artistic lineages: the unconventional optical techniques and social analyses of the 1920s Neue Optik, or 'New Vision,' generation of artists, among them László Moholy–Nagy, Hans Richter, and Marcel Duchamp; and the situational aesthetics advanced by Gordon Matta–Clark, Robert Smithson, and Anthony McCall in the 1970s. Drawing attention to the conditions and complexities of perception–both within the framework of institutional display and in other surroundings–these artists have redefined the social potential of visual agency."
"Prime Cuts is unique graduate motion arts organisation which is focused on supporting students of moving image in the UK through; events, festivals, work placement opportunities, national screenings, press articles and free advice.
The 2013 festival was our first venture with New Designers, Europe's leading graduate design show. The festival was a great success, and we are all very happy to have found a new home with New Designers."
