Space in the Brain

“Space in the Brain” addresses the intersection of cosmic exploration and pictorial abstraction in the cinematic avant-garde. Using methods from hand-painted film to pioneering computer animation, artists have taken inspiration from the Space Race of the 1960s to create new depictions of mental interiority. Films by Stan Brakhage, Jordan Belson, Lawrence Jordan, Jeanne Liotta, Len Lye, José Antonio Sistiaga, Makino Takashi, Stan VanDerBeek, John and James Whitney.
