Kelly Sears presents Abstraction Reaction is a site-specific film program that presents film, video and animations that utilize a variety of production strategies that resist a cohesive sense of visual representation and narrative. Abstraction Reaction instead explores the space beyond the pictorial, figurative and often the recognizable.

This program explores abstraction as a craft and a wide variety of techniques with which contemporary artists forge a lyrical, graphical, and liminal visual practice. Victorian decorative borders are reworked as unsteadied optic and sonic patterns, reflective materials are animated to create holographic effects, film sprayed directly with developer is transformed into a rhythmic meditation, handmade lenses and LED lights produce digital glitches, a hand-processed film flirts with the figurative, and the experience of a car wash is translated into water drops and soapscapes are just a few of the enthusiastic experiments in this screening.
