Hollis Frampton

"A certain appetite of the mind can, then, find more nourishment in the label on the can than in its contents: a poetic, if wayward feast.

If that appetite came with photography, and grew in film, it has not found its limit; rather it seeks it in a metapraxis of observation, analysis, production."

– Hollis Frampton

Room East is delighted to present a second exhibition of works by Hollis Frampton that will focus on the the largest presentation to date of xerographs from the series By Any Other Name 1979-1983. The two-floor exhibition will consist of the upper floor dedicated to xerographic works, and the lower floor to a projection of two seminal short films Lemon 1969 and Carrots and Peas 1969 on continuous loop. The exhibition will be on public view Thursday – Sunday 12pm-6pm for the duration of the exhibition, and by appointment. This year marks the 80th anniversary of Frampton’s birth.
