While the 2027 AIR has already been selected and applications are not yet open to the public for 2028, we encourage those interested to visit and engage in our programming, as we work towards expanding this vital resource in the years to come ♥️ by @videograms_

As Streams Do (Warren)
02:45

A running loop from this summer, shown through interconnected confessional booths in the chapel at Bard’s Massena campus. Part peep-show, part projectionist booth, part tunnel-system; the images cycle through above-ground landscapes and end up deep within underground passageways, where a hare might live. The images were shot at night.

Thank you to my on-set crew @gracepauley9 @timtoli @joshua_mastel

Thank you to those who made the installation possible @madeline_casteel @paigelabuda @_kasperborre

My @bardmfa thesis opens this Saturday with a new work titled “As Streams Do”.

Writing about this process would require paragraphs upon paragraphs filled with gratitude for the myriad of people, friends and family who helped bring this work to life. While I write, please enjoy this small preview of the work, and accept my invitation to journey, if only for a moment to upstate New York, to see the show.

This work will conclude my time at Bard College, a place I can confidently say has forged and fortified my practice, while giving me the confidence to make work I’d only seen in my dreams. 🕊️ by @videograms_

- Dante (as quoted by Jytte Rex)

all november @spectaclenyc is hosting a series of films by multidisciplinary (and proudly avant garde) artist/writer/director 𝗝𝘆𝘁𝘁𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝘅, organized by Nico Cadena (@videograms_) and myself. While not complete, it is a FIRST EVER U.S. RETROSPECTIVE with many new scans/subtitles initiated by Jytte for the occasion...

While she is rightly regarded as a major living artist in Europe with a CV of important feminist artworks dating back to the 1970s and longstanding gallery representation, Rex’s films have never been available to see in the United States. In hopes of remedying this blind spot, Spectacle offers New Yorkers a first-ever chance to see her noted features ISOLDE (1989) and MIRRORS OF THE PLANET (1992, which played as a one-off at Spectacle in 2013) plus more recent works like THE RIVER (2003), SILK ROAD (2004), and the newly subtitled THE GIRL WITH THE PLAIT (2005), alongside her most recent video SEARCH - LIMBO (2022).

From her freewheeling dual adaptation of Borges in THE MEMORIOUS, the cosmically focused ghost-story MIRROR OF THE PLANETS to her updated retelling of classic tragedy in ISOLDE, Rex’s is a cinema that flirts with death. At once baroque and gothic while also clinical and exacting, her films invite audiences into the headspaces of characters who are near death, perhaps already taking their first steps into the afterlife or, likelier still, somewhere in between. Embracing mystery and eschewing narrative conventions, Rex’s work is imbued with a Tarkovskian sensibility, featuring quotidian video-diaries, unsettling found-footage, and private fears drawn from a lifetime of looking. Rex’s keen musical palette profoundly attunes the viewer’s attention in montages and tableaux equal parts impossible to describe and to forget.

“Site” (2025) - I wanted this latest work to emerge from nothing - like catching smoke. Over the past 8 weeks at Bard, I found myself landing in between.

Where did the camera go? :)

Site is a room-sized movie.

It’s a true honor to be part of this year’s Vision Festival with a performance under the theme: “When Democracy Took a Day Off.”

Together with these artists, I will share music shaped by memory and resistance:

DoYeon Kim – Gayageum, Voice
Mat Maneri – Viola @manerimat
John Hebert – Bass @johnhebertbass
Tom Rainey – Drums
Nicolas Cadena – Visuals @videograms_

Where sound and silence meet, memory becomes a question we must face.

The performance will take place on June 6 at Roulette, Brooklyn. @roulette_intermedium
We invite you to witness, reflect, and remember—together.🤍 @artsforart taken in Roulette by @videograms_
