Cinematic Time Replayed

The newly redesigned Millennium Film Journal No. 54 is out. It includes my essay “Cinematic Time Replayed” – a review of two shows: Hubbard and Birchler’s Méliès at Tanya Bonakdar Gallery and Christian Marclay’s The Clock at Paula Cooper Gallery. It compares the way the pieces re-engage cinema’s inherent relationship to time, one looking to socially inscribed place and space (the trace), the other organized around the algorithm, accumulation and omission (the cut).
