This Thursday, 10 November, Nitehawk Cinema in Brooklyn will host Art Seen, a selection of short films to explore the relationship between art and filmmaking, as part of its fourth Nitehawk Shorts Festival (9-13 November). The films include Where are we now (Who are we anyway?) (2016), directed by Zachary Heinzerling, a behind-the-scenes look at eponymous solo exhibition of the artist and landscape designer Vito Acconci at MoMA PS1 earlier this year, featuring Acconci, his wife and collaborator Maria and the museum’s director Klaus Biesenbach, and the artist Andrea McGinty’s film REMIND THEM (2016), which shows “poetic text” from the artist’s twitter account on top of stock footage of a lightning storm. The artist Ed Ruscha is represented twice over: as a subject in Ed Ruscha: Buildings and Words (2016), directed by Felipe Lima and commissioned by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art for its gala in October; and as a filmmaker with his 16mm work Premium (1971), one of his rare forays into the medium. Artists on the shorts list
