High Line Architects on Screen

“Diller Scofidio + Renfro: Reimagining Lincoln Center and the High Line,” a 54-minute documentary produced by the Checkerboard Film Foundation, will be screened tomorrow at 6 p.m. at the Parrish Art Museum in Water Mill.

Founded in 1979, the interdisciplinary design firm is known for such projects as the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston, the School of American Ballet expansion in Manhattan, and the Broad Museum, currently under construction in Los Angeles. Elizabeth Diller and Ricardo Scofidio, the firm’s founders, have been awarded MacArthur Foundation “genius grants.”

Between 2004 and 2011, the firm, working with James Corner Field Operations, converted the derelict High Line railroad tracks in Chelsea into an elevated urban park. The firm also redesigned Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall, the Juilliard School, and public spaces within the cultural complex, from 2003 to 2010.

The film includes commentary from the architects as well as interviews with New York City civic figures, critics, and theorists. Tickets are $10, free for members, students, and children.

The museum has also announced a collaboration with the City Center in Manhattan, where it will act as curator for the performing arts venue’s Frederic and Robin Neimark Seegal Video Gallery, a large video-display wall that extends the length of the center’s lobby.

The first work commissioned by the center and the museum is “Breakout,” a seven-minute, single-channel video by Lisa Gwilliam and Ray Sweeten that interacts with the gallery’s architecture. The installation, which explores rhythm, light, and distortion of the visual field, will remain on view through December.
