Press Release

Please join us at the gallery for a one-night-only screening of Diana Thater and Kevin Bouton-Scott’s collaborative video work, DONT LOOK BACK. This 10-minute film pays homage to D. A. Pennebaker’s 1967 documentary of the same name, chronicling Bob Dylan’s controversial 1965 tour in England after his radical shift to electric music.

In 2023, Thater filmed Bouton-Scott recreating the opening scene from Pennebaker’s documentary: a still from what is considered the first music video ever made, Dylan holding cue cards for his song ‘Subterranean Homesick Blues.’ Bouton-Scott painted the entire image freehand in under six hours while Thater and her crew captured him on film. Although the artwork was short-lived, Thater transformed the black and white, Super 8 film footage into a single-channel video intended for cinematic projection. Through DONT LOOK BACK, Thater and Bouton-Scott not only mimic the aesthetic of the original documentary but explore the temporal dimensions of both video and painting. The piece becomes a film of a painting of a film, a dynamic investigation into the profound impact of the image.

The film will play continuously from 6-9pm on May 3, 2024.
