Kevin Jerome Everson – Free Films and Live Appearance @ Club SAW
The AVAILABLE LIGHT SCREENING COLLECTIVE and SAW VIDEO present KEVIN JEROME EVERSON
OTTAWA PREMIERE
OTTAWA – February 8, 2010 – With the Embassy of the United States of America and Black History Month Ottawa, the Available Light Screening Collective and SAW Video present Virginia‐based filmmaker Kevin Jerome Everson for an evening of his films and an afternoon artist talk. This is Everson’s first visit to Ottawa. He is currently at the 2010 Rotterdam International Film Festival.
On Friday, February 19th, Available Light presents a programme by DIM Cinema of Everson’s work. Following the screening will be a Q&A session and a public reception presented by the Embassy of the United States of America.
On Saturday, February 20th, SAW Video presents an artist talk by Kevin James Everson entitled “Materials, process, procedure and subject”. Everson will present excerpts from relevant short films and features and photographic images and discuss his longtime dedication to the primacy of the subject, culled from early training in ’70s sculptural art discipline and practice.
Instead of standard realism I favor a strategy that abstracts everyday actions and statements into theatrical gestures, in which archival footage is re‐edited or re‐staged, real people perform fictional scenarios based on their own lives and historical observations intermesh with contemporary narratives. The films suggest the relentlessness of everyday life—along with its beauty—but also present oblique metaphors for art‐making. ‐ Kevin Jerome Everson
Kevin Jerome Everson’s prolific body of film work engages with, and responds to, the history and culture of working-class Black Americans and people of African descent. His short gestural films challenge simplistic expectations of ethnographic documentary, poetic narrative, or theatrical drama. He stitches archival footage, scripted sequences, verité documents, and abstract aural and visual minutiae into textured portraits of people, places, economics, and ephemera.
