Coulisse and Company

This program includes a suite of films first shown on June 13, 1969, at the Paula Cooper Gallery in New York.  Entitled "Coulisse" (the name for a side scene of a theatrical stage, a place "between the scenes"), this historic evening of film, sound, and performance included an early film made for a dance piece by Yvonne Rainer and moving-image works by Bruce Nauman and Richard Serra.  These works, provided graciously by the Whitney Museum of American Art, will be presented together with equally rare films by the Belgian artist Marcel Broodthaers (courtesy of the Walker Art Center) and Dutch artist Bas Ader (lent by Patrick Painter Editions).
