Expanded Cinema and the Black Gate Theater

Ring Auditorium, Hirshhorn Museum 7th Street and Independence Ave SW, Washington

Taking a unique look into the experimental Black Gate Theater, where artist Yayoi Kusama performed and staged happenings in New York City in the 1960s, this program will include screenings of Aldo Tambellini’s Black Zero and Otto Piene’s The Proliferation of the Sun, as well as never-before-shown documentary footage. This program is presented in conjunction with the Hirshhorn's current exhibition Yayoi Kusama: Infinity Mirrors.
