SUMMARY:It Takes a Village: Unsung Women and Their Contributions to Silent Film
DESCRIPTION:In the first two decades of the 20th century\, the nascent silent film industry offered women numerous opportunities to make a significant impact in the field. Mostly marginalized and forgotten over time\, these women contributed heavily to early Hollywood filmmaking\, doing everything from editing to designing\,  producing to directing. While some like Alice Guy-Blaché\, Lois Weber\, and Mary Pickford are well known by cinema buffs\, many unsung pioneers like Clare West\, Elsa Lopez\, and Marion Fairfax still live in obscurity. This lecture will acknowledge these many women’s talents and provide the recognition they deserve. \nFilm historian and writer Mary Mallory is the author of four books and a blogger  on Los Angeles and early film history. She has contributed to the Women Film Pioneers Project\, the San Francisco Silent Film Festival\, and American History magazine. She has lectured at the Niles Essanay Silent Film Museum\, Hollywood Heritage Museum\, and Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at UCLA\, and she currently serves on Hollywood Heritage’s Board of Directors. \n\n\n\n\nThis online event will be hosted on Zoom with attendees cameras off. Closed Captioning will be provided. ASL interpretation is available upon request with two weeks notice — please email Sarit@posterhouse.org to request interpretation services. A recording of this event will be made available for all registered attendees. Questions about accessibility? Please contact Sarit Cahana\, Access Coordinator\, at Sarit@posterhouse.org.

SUMMARY:Rips & Slices: Masked Vigilantes Artists’ Panel
DESCRIPTION:Masked Vigilantes in Silent Motorbikes highlights how posters have long been co-opted by artists to create compelling\, vibrant new works of art. Poster House is thrilled to welcome featured artists Swoon\, Galen Gibson-Cornell\, and Nicholas Fraser to a panel discussion moderated by curator RJ Rushmore on the significance of posters in their practice. Discover how these artists are inspired by posters and how they utilize the formal and conceptual elements of ad campaigns to produce new bodies of work. Each artist’s approach to the medium is unique\, making for a rich and vibrant conversation that will provide both newcomers and seasoned poster enthusiasts with a fresh perspective on the dynamism of posters. Questions strongly encouraged! \nCaledonia Curry\, known as Swoon\, is a contemporary artist and filmmaker recognized around the world for her pioneering vision of public artwork. She has spent over 20 years exploring the depths of human complexity by mobilizing her artwork to fundamentally re-envision the communities we live in toward a more just and equitable world.  \nGalen Gibson-Cornell is a visual artist working with a practice that combines urban exploration\, repurpose of found-materials\, and principles of détournement. He studies the layers of “urban skin” in cities—the posters\, flyers\, and paper advertisements—before returning to his Philadelphia studio to deconstruct the resulting materials into methodical and meditative artworks. \nNicholas Fraser creates installations\, videos\, and sculptures that grapple with the mutability of texts\, exploring our compulsion to communicate and mining the gap between intention and perception. \nRJ Rushmore is a writer\, curator\, and public art advocate who builds projects that disrupt visual culture. He is a cofounder of Art in Ad Places\, a guerrilla public art campaign across New York City’s former payphones\, and he has curated projects for The L.I.S.A. Project NYC\, Mural Arts Philadelphia\, LMNL Gallery\, and the Cantor Fitzgerald Gallery at Haverford College. RJ has been called everything from “one of the most respected critics of street and graffiti art in the world” to a “petty criminal.”

SUMMARY:Open House New York: Poster House Architectural Tour
DESCRIPTION:Join lead architect Marc Tsurumaki of LTL Architects as he takes you on a tour of the design development and construction history of Poster House\, the only museum in the U.S. dedicated to posters. Opening in 2019 and occupying the space that once housed Tekserve\, the museum design considers that posters are intended for the street and uses the length of the space to evoke a sidewalk\, playing with industrial materials. Gesturing to the space’s history\, the design incorporates several existing features including the exposed brick walls\, barrel vaults and cast-iron columns. These elements create a dialogue with the new architecture\, blending old and new\, playful and serious\, and embody an embrace of the poster’s unique identity as both commerce and art\, public information and cultural artifact. The museum design received the AIANY Design Award for interiors in 2019.

SUMMARY:An Introduction to Cyanotypes with Misa Chhan
DESCRIPTION:Poster House is pleased to welcome artist and printmaking expert Misa Chhan for an introduction to Cyanotype printing. Known for their brilliant blue hues\, cyanotypes are a photosensitive printing process that utilizes UV light to transfer images. Learn the basics of this historic form of printmaking as well as techniques for shifting tones from blue to brown. Participants will leave with materials to continue experimenting in the medium at home. No previous experience required. \nMisa Chhan is a Los Angeles-based artist who works with natural dyes\, textiles\, printmaking\, and artist’s books. Her background in book arts\, papermaking\, and natural fibers led her to explore natural dyes and fibers as a medium to engage with and learn from the natural world. Through her art practice\, Chhan aims to create a container of pure joy to demonstrate our fundamental interdependency with nature\, thereby challenging the extractive mindset of domination.
