Emma Cline Selects

January 21–February 5, 2022
Metrograph, New York

Emma Cline has curated a selection of films on the theme of “source material,” as part of a series copresented by Gagosian and Metrograph in the theater and online. The program will feature cinema inspired by the ethos of Picture Books, Gagosian’s new imprint conceived by Cline and dedicated to publishing fiction by leading authors alongside contributions by celebrated contemporary artists. The selected films—including Robert Altman’s 3 Women (1977), Spike Jonze’s Adaptation (2002), Miranda July’s The Future (2011), and Marielle Heller’s The Diary of a Teenage Girl (2015)—respond to existing cinema or the work of other artists, originate in writing, or reconsider historical events.

Cline explains: “Picture Books asks artists to respond to works of literature in order to start a dialogue, using fiction as a point of departure for their art. Thinking about the interplay between the origins of a project and the ultimate creation, I wondered about how filmmakers transform their source material.”
