The Gallery at UTA is pleased to present a retrospective exhibition honoring the creativity of longtime cinematic arts faculty member, Bart Weiss, who retired in 2024 after a long tenure with the Art & Art History Department. In addition to teaching, his illustrious artistic career includes many roles: festival programmer, TV producer, filmmaker, podcaster, critic, writer, cinematographer, producer, and editor since 1972. Teaching at the University of Texas at Arlington beginning in 1999, Weiss encouraged students to experiment with new technology as it developed over the years and ultimately emphasized the importance of cinema as a storytelling language.Organized to highlight Bart’s involvement in the evolution of his field, the exhibition displays groupings of his projects ranging from 1976 to 2024. Works shown were produced using a history of technologies that defined these decades, from 16 mm film to Hi8, Betacam, and, recently, 6K cameras and mobile media. Diverse genres, including documentaries, narratives, music videos, experimental projections, films about music, and comedies are included. His range as producer, director, actor, and editor of projects is also highlighted including selections from his over 25 years as producer of KERA’ Frame of Mind television show, and as co-founder and producer of the annual Dallas VideoFest. His most recent project, a book titled Smartphone Cinema - Making Great Films with Your Mobile Phone published by Focal Press in late 2024, will also be on display alongside close to 50 samples of his independent films, podcasts, and still images.The exhibition will be open Jan. 13-Jan. 25, with a closing reception Friday, Jan. 24, 5:30-8 p.m.
