As part of The Fabric Workshop and Museum's Blood Moon project, multidisciplinary artists Mary Reid Kelley and Patrick Kelley curate an evening of two films: The Syphilis of Sisyphus, a 2011 short film by the artists set in 19th-century Paris, and Invention for Destruction, a Jules Verne-inspired 1958 feature by Czech director Karel Zeman about a scientist and his doomsday machine.
Mary Reid Kelley and Patrick Kelley: Blood Moon is an immersive installation centered on the presentation of two new film works—Blood Moon and I’m Jackson Pollock—amid a world of sculpture and drawings across two floors of The Fabric Workshop and Museum.
