The Way Beyond Art: Infinite Screens is the 4th iteration in The Way Beyond Art Series. Infinite Screens will examine the relationship between the moving image and the evolving contexts in which it is exhibited through a solo project by the artist and filmmaker Werner Herzog. The exhibition will feature the West Coast premiere of the 5-channel video installation Hearsay of the Soul, 2012. The installation resurrects works by the Dutch Golden Age painter and printmaker Hercules Pieterszoon Segers as cinematic projections in a five-channel video work with a musical score by the composer Ernst Reijseger. An adjunct program of weekly talks will be presented by selected CCA Film Faculty, focusing on the changing nature of film language in a rapidly evolving landscape of physical and economic challenges to exhibition and distribution. These presentations will expand the content of the exhibition, further develop the research around this topic, expose students and audiences alike to a wider breadth of moving image practices, and incorporate a multitude of voices and perspectives into the presentation of this subject. Similarly, this strand of the exhibition hopes to acknowledge the work of moving image artists based within CCA, while highlighting their relationships within national and international communities connected to their practices. The Way Beyond Art 4: Infinite Screens is co-organized with the Film Program of the California College of the Arts.
