Meander is a space for documentation and experimentation within our website, a place to reflect on our projects and artists, as well as a way to explore intersections between those works, artists, and themes we study under our mission (Japanese experimental moving image works made in 1950s-1980s), and those that fall outside of our mission’s specific framework of timeframe, genres, and nationality.
Meander may take multiple forms including essays, introductions to artists and their work, online screening programs, or special digital projects. Offerings in Meander may suggest oblique angles from which to see CCJ’s mission-specific works, artists, histories, or practices.
Launching off of the Collection Survey we conducted in February 2018, and based on the lead archivist John Klacsmann’s report, along with researcher Julian Ross’ direction, CCJ is researching and preserving Keiichi Tanaami’s Human Events (1975).
