The Grace Rainey Rogers Auditorium
Performance added due to popular demand!
Dive into the visionary world of Man Ray's short films with inventive live accompaniment by a leading avant-garde post-rock duo.
American artist Man Ray (1890–1976) was a visionary known for radical experiments that turned recognizable subjects into wonderfully mysterious compositions, pushing the limits of photography, painting, sculpture, and film. Among his vast output are four pioneering silent films—his Le Retour à la raison (Return to Reason) was the first motion picture made without using a camera.
For nearly a decade, the avant-garde post-rock duo SQÜRL (composed of Jim Jarmusch and Carter Logan) have captivated audiences with their accompaniments to Man Ray’s surreal silent films. Join them for an evening of psychedelic dreamscapes alongside the artist's groundbreaking films, newly restored in 4K resolution.
This performance is presented in conjunction with the Bluff Collaborative for Research on Dada and Surrealism and the exhibition Man Ray: When Objects Dream.
Tickets start at $35
