Amy Granat: the Sheltering Sky March 13, 2010

New York-based artist Amy Granat draws from the legacy of experimental and abstract filmmaking to create new approaches in 16mm film and video at the limits of personal and narrative cinema. Using Paul Bowles' novel 'The Sheltering Sky' as a point of departure for this exhibition, she creates an immersive environment of projected images, which substitute the narrative thrust of literary fiction with a more subtle exploration of character and place through landscape, light, and gesture.
