Studio Screen

Celebrating film and video as important source material for artists, Studio Screen presents exhibition-related screenings and conversations that engage the complex intersections of modern media and contemporary art.

The Studio Museum in Harlem and Visual AIDS are pleased to commemorate the 27th annual Day With(out) Art with Studio Screen: COMPULSIVE PRACTICE. This multi-part program will begin with the uptown screening of COMPULSIVE PRACTICE, an hour-long video compilation of compulsive, daily and habitual practices of nine artists and activists who live with their cameras as a means of managing, reflecting upon and challenging the ways they are deeply affected by HIV/AIDS. Following the screening will be a public dialogue moderated by curator and scholar Vivian Crockett, in which exhibiting Harlem Postcards artist Nayland Blake and COMPULSIVE PRACTICE artist Luna Luis Ortiz will explore the subversive potential of video works as it relates to identity, modern media and the effect of HIV/AIDS in communities of color.

Thanks to the generous support of Target, Museum admission and programs are free and open to the public on Sundays. Seating is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Visual AIDS utilizes art to fight AIDS by provoking dialogue, supporting HIV+ artists, and preserving a legacy, because AIDS is not over. www.visualaids.org.
