Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago presents
Museum of Contemporary Art Screens Films by Charles Atlas: Hail the New Puritan (1986 , 84 min), 9pm
Using a faux-cinéma vérité style, Charles Atlas depicts a day in Michael Clark’s life as he and his company prepare for a performance of New Puritans. The fictionalized documentary about the Scottish dancer and choreographer features production design by Leigh Bowery, who also appears in the film. Much of the music is by The Fall, Mark E. Smith and Brix Smith, Glenn Branca, Bruce Gilbert (of Wire), and Jeffrey Hinton.
Museum of Contemporary Art Screens Films by Charles Atlas: Walkaround Time (1973, 51 min), 7:30pm
Considered the first visual documentation by Atlas, Walkaround Time depicts the work of Merce Cunningham in front of screen-printed images taken from Marcel Duchamp’s The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors, Even (1915–23). Artist Jasper Johns proposed the set idea to Cunningham as
an early “dance as ready-made.” – See more at:
