NEW WORKS SALON
Echo Park Film Center, Los Angeles.

Several local artists will present new in-progress or recently completed works. Sean Batton and Kelsey Brain will present a 16mm film comprising footage of Occupy Los Angeles’s two-month encampment at City Hall. Marcy Saude presents her in-progress Alternative Strategies #1, in which Filmmaker Robert Nelson talks about the house he and William Wiley built by hand in rural Mendocino County. Mark Toscano will present two recent 16mm films, Process of Elimination (2012) and Demonstration (2012), as well as play a soundtrack for a film yet to be made. Rick Bahto will project his recently completed Super 8 film Casual Encounters, which shows him interacting with scores by the composer Mark So. Accompanying the projection will be a cassette tape by Casey Anderson, which incorporates performances of So’s scores ascending emptiness of the afternoon (You have built a mountain of something) (2010); (The fur of a cat in the sun) (Sticks, numbers, letters) [for Adam Overton] (2011); bored glances, boring questions (2009); INTERIOR, GARDEN (All it can hold.) [for Casey] (2011); a ride in common variety [For Manfred & Jürg & Istvàn & Douglas & Simone & Eileen] (2009); The year subsides into clouds (2009). Pablo Valencia will project a collection of recent Super 8 miniatures, and Hayley Elliott will present a developing cut of hand-processed Super 8 film.
Images from Feb 24th performance at Jancar Jones Gallery
Performance included Rick Bahto with 35 mm slides, Julia Holter with voice, keyboard and harmonium, and Mark So with typewriter and cassette tape.
Also, Pitchfork came and interviewed Julia / documented the performance. There are snippets from the performance, and I even make a brief, albeit illuminating, cameo about one minute in:
Friday, February 24, 2012. Jancar Jones Gallery, Los Angeles. 8 pm.
“Please join us for a performance by Rick Bahto, Julia Holter, and Mark So. The evening will include a variety of unplanned activities along with a projection of Rick Bahto’s music video for Julia Holter’s song Marienbad.”

Marienbad
I wanted to make something that would serve as a visual accompaniment to Julia Holter’s song “Marienbad”, but would not be strictly tied to it. I utilized multiple film projections interacting and interfering with one another in a single composition. The material seen in this video was made with Kodak Tri-X regular 8 mm motion picture film and Kodak Plus-X 35 mm still film, all of it processed by hand. The video is a single take documenting a live performance using two 8 mm projectors and a single 35 mm projector all aimed at the same space on a screen; there is no digital manipulation of the images, and no edits have been made to the recording. Rick Bahto – January, 2012
Film / photography / projector performance by Rick Bahto.
Many thanks to Walter Vargas for digital documentation.
