In summer 2011, Benning returned to his hometown of Milwaukee to make a third version of his seminal 1977 film One Way Boogie Woogie. In 1977 he filmed 60 locations in Milwaukee’s industrial valley each for 60 seconds, creating short, minimal, playful narratives. In 2004 he remade the film as Twenty Seven Years Later, with the same 60 camera positions. This 2012 installation version, presents 18 locations similar to, and reminiscent of, the original.
Curated by AV Festival. World Premiere.
James Benning exhibits his installation Milwaukee/Duisburg at Platform A in Middlesbrough from 1 March – 31 March. The Festival also presents the UK premiere of his new feature length film Nightfall at Tyneside Cinema on Sat 3 March
