8:00 PM Outdoor Film Screening
At the east end of the museum


Artists and writers have long been intrigued with the idea of constructing imaginary space. The exhibition is inspired by a series of installations organized by John and Dominique de Menil in the late-1960s-that dealt with spatial constructs: from hypothetical and utopian environments to invisible cities to earth art projects.

Peter Mowris, University of Texas Research Fellow-in-Residence at The Menil Collection will lead a gallery tour that uses work in Michelle's exhibition Imaginary Spaces: Selections from The Menil Collection to consider concepts of space in twentieth-century art. The talk will be followed by a film presentation of early twentieth-century film shorts—directed by artists such as Fernand Léger, René Clair, and Hans Richter—that experimented with the abstract depiction of space in the cinema.
