Dreamlands is a series of installations organized by Chrissie Iles, Anne and Joel Ehrenkranz Curator as an exploration of how artists "have dismantled and reassembled the conventions of cinema." Most of the material present comes from film collections of the 1920's, 60's and today, as a means to connect and contextualize the emotional turmoil that is shared between those eras, where young people and artist rebel or observe massive cultural changes.
The title of show comes from H.P. Lovecraft's series of narratives which take place in surreal landscapes that can only be accessed through dream. There is a strong resonance between the original namesake of the show and the contents of the show itself, which produces surreal imagery in ways that can only be experienced through the virtual.
