MESHES Video Art with Julie Weitz

December 17, 2018 @ 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM


MESHES is a monthly meet-up inviting contemporary video artists to screen their own work alongside video material that informs, inspires, or provides context to their practice. The Meshes 2018-19 Winter Series begins December 17th with Los Angeles based artist Julie Weitz.

Weitz’s video program will walk us through her filmic inspirations for the alter-ego, performance, and film project MY GOLEM. An embodiment of the Jewish myth/folklore of artificial intelligence (known as Golem), MY GOLEM attempts to counteract today’s rampant xenophobia through parody and absurdist performance. Weitz has included selections from silent film, anti-semitic propaganda, and pop culture in this program, giving us an in-depth look into the events leading up to the eventual birth of her alter-ego.
