    A central figure in the East Village art scene that thrived during the 1960s, poet, painter, sculptor and pioneering multi-media artist Aldo Tambellini has only begun to be recognized for his prescient and innovative art. Beginning in 1965, Tambellini launched a series of politically charged experimental films that explore the expressive possibilities of black as a dominant color and idea. For the most part Tambellini’s seven “black films” are made without the use of a camera but rather by carefully manipulating the film itself by scorching, scratching, painting and treating the film stock as a type of sculptural and painterly medium. Films screening are: Black Is, Black Trip, Black Plus X, Black Trip 2, Blackout, Black TV, Moonblack.
