Mary Helena Clark's 'Recital' (2024) Screens in Art Lovers Movie Club Through March 2026

In her video piece 'Recital' (2024), Mary Helena Clark presents an ultrasound of her mouth while reciting her essay 'Neighboring Animals', which delves into the distinctions between human and animal communication through the visualization of speech. Clark's artistic approach questions how changes in meaning across species can lead to a reevaluation of what it means to be human. She points out the irony in widely accepted beliefs, emphasizing that teeth and tongues are designed for biting rather than for speaking. This screening is featured in the Art Lovers Movie Club's monthly online showcase at artreview.com. Clark's work has been displayed globally, including at the Okayama Art Summit and MIT List Visual Arts Center, and her films have been featured at prestigious festivals like Berlinale and Sundance. Her exhibition runs until March 9, 2026.
