David
Lamelas: Time is a Fiction
Galapagos's
award-winning film series!
LUXs
touring program, Time is a Fiction, comprises
five early 16mm films by David Lamelas, best
known as one of the pioneers of the Conceptual
Art practice that emerged in the 1960s and 1970s.
Over the last thirty years, he has produced
an extraordinary body of films and videos which
consistently challenge our conventional understanding
of how meaning is made and information is imparted.
In this program of some of his early films,
Lamelas experiments with both the elliptical
constructs of fiction which frame and contain
meaning, and the verité qualities of
durational documentation and straight to camera
testimony.
Work

a Glass, 1972, 8 min; Time as Activity (Düsseldorf),

showcase of its kind with this scope.. it will mix
comedy with a strong political backbone and artistic
styles. The fact that this series isn't named after
a fruit, a beverage or anything edible in the Orient
is already taking us light years ahead."

CITIGRASS specializes in their own style of
"Urban Bluegrass," blending rock and
jam influences with traditional bluegrass to
create a hot, modern sound with worldwide appeal.
"They
call the catchy stuff they do "Urban Bluegrass"
which blends some jazz turns and knowing Big
Apple lyric references with actual bluegrass
chops. No joke, no-noodling from an eclectic
bunch, who came to this band from Off-Broadway,
Israel, Iowa and -- in the case of the fiddler
-- the Flux Quartet. Williamsburg folks even
put down their drinks for a minute to listen."
