The Double Exposure Series, part of Carnegie Museum of Artā€™s Time-Based Media Project is a series of screening events presenting contemporary perspectives on pioneers of the past. The series features artists, preservationists, curators, and scholars discussing the legacy of avant-garde film and video of the 1960s-80s, including works in Carnegie Museum of Artā€™s permanent collection and beyond.
