Martin Arnold is an Austrian filmmaker and installation artist known for his obsessive deconstructing and refashioning of gestures found in popular movie footage. His films are intensely cut, often stretching several seconds of footage into much longer sequences. He manipulates motion and time back and forth to unearth unseen relationships and tensions within Hollywood clichés. 

Screening includes: Pièce touchée (1989), Passage à l´acte (1993), Alone: Life Wastes Andy Hardy (1998), Shadow Cuts (2010), Soft Palate (2010) and Self Control (2011). On view in the gallery May 4-31: Shadow Cuts (2010) and Soft Palate (2010).
