Composed of a sequence of brief recollections, the poem’s standardized format admits an incredible variety of images and feelings: "I remember Greyhound buses at night...I remember candy cigarettes like chalk...I remember leaning up against walls in queer bars...” Brainard's many drawings, collages, assemblages, and paintings, as well as his short essays and verbal-visual collaborations were celebrated during his lifetime before he stopped making art in the mid-1980s. Filmmaker Matt Wolf returns to this iconic poem in his film I Remember: A Film About Joe Brainard. His archival montage combines audio recordings of Brainard reading from the poem, as well as an interview with his lifelong friend and collaborator, the poet Ron Padgett. The result is an inventive biography of Joe Brainard, and an elliptical dialog about friendship, nostalgia, and the strange wonders of memory. 24 minutes / 2012 filmmaker Matt Wolf is the director of the documentary Wild Combination about the avant-garde cellist and disco producer Arthur Russell. He is currently making Teenage, a film about the invention of teenagers and the history of youth culture, based on a book by Jon Savage. He has created documentaries for the New York Times, Sundance Channel, PBS, and many others. press Artforum Capital New York credits A Film by Matt Wolf Featuring Joe Brainard & Ron Padgett Sound Design & Editing by Mark Phillips Commissioned by Nathan Lee Produced by Ken Kuchin Research: Michael Dolan Sound Recording: Micah Bloomberg Additional Editing: Nicole Turney Archival Footage & Audio Courtesy: Ron Padgett Penn Sound National Archives Bill Berkson Funding Provided by: The Center for Curatorial Studies at Bard College Foundation for Contemporary Arts Thank You: Ron Padgett Tom Eccles Johanna Burton Ken Kuchin Marcia Acita Ann Butler Ann Lauterbach Colter Jacobsen Carl Williamson <img src="http://payload10.cargocollective.com/1/5/183081/2516119/smokin--Joe-1960-1.jpg" width="419" height="420" width_o="419" height_o="420" src_o="http://payload10.cargocollective.com/1/5/183081/2516119/smokin--Joe-1960-1_o.jpg" data-mid="12704109" border="0" align="left"/>
