GAGARIN and Printed Matter, Inc. present NO NARRATIVES, a program curated by Wilfried Huet, publisher of GAGARIN: A Journal of Artists’ Writings (published from 2000-16).

The lineup will include films by Koki Tanaka, Juan Muñoz + Gavin Bryars, Marijke van Warmerdam, Peter Downsbrough, Marilou van Lierop, Jonas Mekas, Adrian Paci, Nathalie Djurberg + Hans Berg, Santiago Sierra + Jorge Galinda, Camille Henrot, Harmony Korine, Philippe Van Wolputte, and Apichatpong Weerasethakul.
