Whi le Solomon frequently works in a miniaturist scale with such formats as 16 mm film and video\, his triptych film American Falls\, presented at the Mu seum as an installation in the third-floor Changing Exhibitions Gallery\, is appropriately monumental in form and scope\, taking as its subject noth ing less than the promise and the failure of the American Dream through th e twentieth century. This is a special opportunity to see American Falls a nd to also see Solomon introduce a selection of his work in the Main Theat er. Included in the theater program is a trilogy of works composed entirel y of footage from the video game Grand Theft Auto. \n\n\n Screenings (7:00 p.m.\, introduced by Phil Solomon): \n \n What's Out Tonight is Lost (198 3\, 8 mins.\, 16mm\, silent) One of Solomon’s earliest films\, this elegia c work has been recently restored by Mark Toscano for the Academy of Motio n Picture Arts and Sciences. \n\n\n Psalm I: 'The Lateness of the Hour' (1 999\, 10 mins.\, 16mm) “A little Nachtmusik… breathing in the cool night a irs\, breathing out a children’s song\; then whispering a prayer for a nig ht of easeful sleep.

My con tribution was my first digital video (with material culled from 16mm foota ge\, both archival and my own) and to make something of a public work\, so mething I had never done before.
