  •  A person is transformed into an icon by a kind of violent, flattening rupture. Emma Goldman has been made into such an icon many times over. During her lifetime, it was as “the most dangerous woman in America,” posthumously as perhaps the most famous anarchist in Anglophone history — for most, however, as the name attached to a likely apocryphal quotation. Onscreen, she has been the subject of stodgy PBS documentary,and a bit player in a handful of others She was portrayed most famously in Warren Beatty’s Reds, as a kind of earthy (and fully Americanized) matron.

    I’m going to talk about work since 2001. That’s when I got into digital editing my films. Behind me is a power point with Trios from DARK DARK, the first sound track I edited digitally.

  • In Abigail Child’s diverse and prodigious artistic career, Mayhem (1987) represents one, very specific type of exploration. Coming at the spectator like a violent cut-up, it mixes her filmed images from New York’s Lower Eastside in 1985 and 1986 with various old movie samples, plus a soundtrack comprised of audio fragments (also sampled) alternated with improvisations from a gang including Christian Marclay and Shelley Hirsch. It has the rawness and insider-vibe of an “art school confidential” exercise in mimickry and playful subversion – but taken all the way, an over-fifteen minute montage sequence that rarely eases off in its blistering intensity.

  • Abigail Child made two films for a series she called “How the World Works.” These films, Surface Noise (2000) and Dark Dark (2001), are among her most advanced, although they have not been discussed as much as they should be. Formally, they have a fair amount in common with her seven-film series from the eighties, Is This What You Were Born For? In fact, one suspects that Child may have originally been embarking on a new series of some expansiveness. I want to consider these two films individually, as a pair, and in light of Child’s other work.

  • My filmmaking is personal, visceral, and immediate. It serves as both a means to express my lived experiences and as a tool for deepening my understanding of these experiences. As such, I tend to experiment with all aspects of the filmmaking process - not just materials and media, but also the non-narrative conveyance of meaning through structure and composition. This experimentation truly forms the foundation of my art - an endlessly iterative process of exploration, expression, creation, and revision.
