Jordan Belson and Contemporary Abstraction

Screening on Film

Hirsh’s legacy is revealed in this second installment of films, which focuses largely on California visionary Jordan Belson. Under Hirsh’s tutelage, Belson made a series of extraordinary films that attempt to preserve painterly values, using long scrolls of paper in which hundreds of sequential images are painted. In addition to his early films from the 1950s, Mandala and Caravan, we present the premiere of Belson’s newest work, Bardo.
