Ricardo Nicolayevsky: In and Out of Frame

“Ricardo Nicolayevsky: In and Out of Frame” includes works made by the Mexican artist, musician, filmmaker, and writer since the 1980s to the present, making an emphasis on his video and experimental cinema pieces. The exhibition begins its lineal course with a group of animations and videos in which Nicolayevsky experiments directly on the surface of the film strip, and continues with a series of visual essays which include portraits of New York City, made between 1982 and 1982, that show an aesthetic rooted in postpunk with stylistic elements of early twentieth century photography and surrealism.
