ARTbreak: "The Love Tapes" by Wendy Clarke

This Valentine’s Day, join us for a special ARTbreak celebrating love in all its forms, as we screen The Love Tapes by experimental filmmaker Wendy Clarke. Clarke’s project, which began in 1977 and continues to this day, has a simple but powerful premise–participants from all walks of life speak extemporaneously about their experiences of love, covering topics from friendship and family to romantic love, lust, and loss. The Museum of Art and Design in New York City has referred to Clarke’s unique filmmaking style as “a cinema of listening, quiet beauty and devastating emotion.” The selection we will be screening consists of 32 edited tapes, recorded from 1978-2011. Guests are welcome to stay for the entire presentation, or to drop in and out while visiting our galleries.
