Between The Black Box And The White Cube by Andrew V. Uroskie
Expanded Cinema and Postwar Art
A concise critical history that traces how postwar moving-image practices navigated and reshaped the institutional divide between the cinema’s darkened theater and the modernist gallery and museum. It shows how experimental filmmakers and artists rethought exhibition formats, distribution channels, and film’s materiality, arguing that changes in screening contexts, curatorial practices, and institutional policies produced new audiovisual forms and reconfigured the boundaries between entertainment, avant-garde practice, and fine art. Through archival research and case studies, it reveals the political and aesthetic stakes of where and how films were shown and contends that institutions played a decisive role in defining the moving image as commodity or artwork.
