"Under Our Skin - An Exquisite Copse": Peter Cramer and Jack Waters

"Under Our Skin - An Exquisite Copse"

Peter Cramer and Jack Waters

"As a queer interracial couple living with AIDS, our background as filmmakers and dancers transitioned into a media driven interdisciplinary practice largely due to the conditions of living in a viral culture. Our interest in collaboration is a direct result of our desire to create a radically different environment for making art and cinema. The Covid pandemic has also accelerated our drive for an interactive relationship with our audience, both live and virtual. Receiver becomes producer. Lecture becomes lab becomes party! We use our gender fluidity with its transgressive inclination against racial and nationalistic containment as a catalyst for change - at the very least exposure to difference both pleasurable and uncomfortable."

Since 2008, the Experimental Lecture Series has presented veteran filmmakers who immerse themselves in the world of alternative, experimental film. Our intention is to lay bare an artist’s challenges rather than their successes, to examine the gnawing, ecstatic reality of the work of making art. Our previous speakers for the Experimental Lecture Series have been Peggy Ahwesh, Craig Baldwin, Abigail Child, Nick Dorsky, Bradley Eros, Ernie Gehr, Barbara Hammer, Ken Jacobs, Jonas Mekas, Carolee Schneemann, M.M. Serra.
