Hollis Frampton’s Magellan Cycle
National Maritime Museum, London. http://www.nmm.ac.uk
Programme 1 (11 November)
12.00–14.00: The Birth of Magellan
15.00–17.00: The Straits of Magellan I
Programme 2 (18 November)
12.00–14.00: The Straits of Magellan II
15.00–17.00: The Death of Magellan
The first ever UK screening of Hollis Frampton’s monumental film  
sequence. Hollis Frampton (1936-84) uses Ferdinand Magellan’s epic  
circumnavigation of the globe as a metaphor for a meditation on the  
history and language of cinema, and the phenomena of perception.  
Originally intended as a 36-hour sequence in which individual titles  
would be shown on specific days in a calendar of one year and four  
days, it was left unfinished when Frampton died in 1984. The  
surviving 8 hours of material, comprising almost 30 films, will be  
screened over two consecutive weekends, as it was presented by the  
artist at the Whitney Museum, New York in 1980. Hollis Frampton, one  
of the key filmmakers of his generation, was also a noted  
photographer and theorist, whose remarkable writing is published  
frequently in Artforum and October.  Curated by Mark Webber, Senior  
Research Fellow, London College of Communication.
