Monthly Video Screenings

Exquisite Corpse: a selection of words or images, collectively assembled.

During the early part of the last century, Surrealist artists used this concept as the basis for a parlor game by which one person would draw on paper, fold it to conceal part of the drawing and pass it to the next player who would continue the drawing using only the part that was exposed.

Unlike the Surrealists, the video artists in this series did not collaborate on our show, but through curation, we have attempted to find design elements or key concepts that connect the artworks in unexpected and amusing ways. Make sure you’re there to follow this very bizarre train of thought!

From computer-generated art to hand-drawn motion graphics, this next show will be a celebration of all things animation. But, if you’re expecting to see your everyday cartoons, you’ll be sorely dissapointed or maybe blown-away.

Don’t miss this opportunity to see the latest in animation!

Also, if you happen to be in Uptown during the day, you might catch Project Bandaloop rehearsing on the Wall!

Last month, we presented “About Oakland, By Oakland”, an entire show dedicated to this great city and the artists who live and work here.

This month, we’re bouncing off the theme of “place” and taking you on a “Tour of the World” stopping off in such places as Kenya, India, France, Iceland and maybe a stop or two around home.

And you don’t even have to pack any luggage!

The title of this show says it all. This month on the Wall, watch as predators discover their prey and find adventure within the hunt. Don’t be fooled  - this is not a screening of films one would expect to see on a nature channel but a series of artistic takes on what happens between those doing the chasing and those being sought.

All eleven films differ wildly in their stylistic approach, as well as, the natural realms they explore. It’s a non-violent screening perfect for the whole family.

For the second July in a row, the Great Wall will be screening a collection of awe-inspiring films entitled “Projects of Summertime”. As the title suggests, these short documentary-style shorts capture the creative, whimsical, fantastic and far-out projects people find the time to do when the whole world slows down for the blissful summer months.

In this hour-long show, there’s something for everyone – from DIY projects like couture knitting to thrill-chasing sports like free running – don’t miss out!
