But don't despair, there's something just around the corner ...
The Salt Lake Art Center will host the premiere of Afterimage: The Art of 337 documentary film on Friday, June 13, 2008, at 7:30 p.m. followed by a Q & A session with one of the film’s producers, Davey Davis.
The 70-minute documentary, produced by local filmmakers Davey Davis and Alex Haworth and scored by local musicians, provides an in-depth look at The 337 Project - the “art happening” of 2007” - through great interviews, music, and incredible footage of 337 from evolution to demolition. The film follows the journey of the building: beginning with blank walls, watching the artists on their journey to transform the building, documenting the reactions of Salt Lake's most influential spokespeople, and concluding with the building's spectacular raising. Afterimage: The Art of 337 is the definitive documentation of this landmark art event. The 337 building was demolished on April 5, 2008, making way for a apartment complex made entirely from international shipping containers.
Afterimage: The Art of 337 is a major component of the Salt Lake Art Center’s upcoming exhibition, Present Tense: A Post-337 Project, which opens to the public on Friday, June 20 from 6 to 9 p.m. The film will be screened in the Main Gallery to complement the artwork and site-specific installations created by 25 artists who participated in The 337 Project.
The Art Center will also screen Afterimage in the auditorium on three additional Fridays at 7:30 p.m. July 19, August 8, and September 12 and on four Saturdays at 4 p.m. June 21, July 19, August 16, and September 20. On June 21, Davey Davis will again be available for a Q & A session immediately following the screening.
Afterimage: The Art of 337 was sponsored, in part, by The Salt Lake Art Center with The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Jones Waldo Holbrook & McDonough.
