"Avant-Gardening is an installment of the collaborative monthly program Jewels and Gems sponsored by the FMC and Collective: Unconscious. This show is about relating post-modern attitudes toward the environment and a sense of place from the absurd to the sublime. The representation of nature and landscape through out these films is reflective of the attitudes that have manifest in contemporary society and inform the actions or inactions humans take toward nature. Integral to how we treat our environment are our attitudes toward it. Does the subjective mind delight in physical space in nature? Is a sense of place valuable? Or does apathy let it fall into neglect? Just as 19th Century painter’s attempted to harness the powerful wonder of nature on canvas, many post-modern avant-garde film-makers, who make some of the most evocative and brilliant representations, attempt to capture nature like moths in a jar." - S.R.
