Yvonne Rainer (b. 1934) needs no introduction. One of the great American artists of her generation, she revolutionised dance and choreography in the 1960s. Yet over the course of two decades - from the early 1970s to the mid-1990s - Rainer also directed seven feature films, each intensely discursive and consistently inviting critical reflection. Radically diverse and impossible to categorise, her films carve out their own space between documentary, fiction, performance, and the avant-garde. For decades, these films have been difficult to access, and when shown, they were often confined to small monitors in large museum settings. Now, newly restored in 4K, they will be presented in a retrospective by Terrassen in autumn 2024 - the first of its kind in Denmark. The retrospective culminates in the publication of a new Yvonne Rainer filmography. Terrassen has invited Babette Mangolte, Ursula Andkjær Olsen, Mira Adoumier & the Camellia Collective, Emily Wardill, Emily LaBarge, Amelia Groom, Valérie Massadian, Iman Mohammed, Frida Sandström, and Yvonne Rainer herself to contribute texts on the films.
