“<strong>Radcliffe</strong>’s<br />

<strong>Radcliffe</strong><br />

Dean Lizabeth<br />

The Infernal Dream of Mutt and Jeff<br />

April 8–May 3<br />

The Infernal Dream of Mutt and Jeff, a gallery installation by Zoe Beloff<br />

, recreated a mid-20th-<br />

century film studio designed to produce industrial films. Beloff, the Suzanne Young Murray<br />

Fellow at the <strong>Radcliffe</strong> <strong>Institute</strong> in 2012–2013 and a professor in the Department of Media Studies<br />

at Queens College, says, “I explore what might be called the dream life of technology. I attempt<br />

to reanimate the remains from cinema’s past—discarded films, old projectors—to set them in<br />

motion so that they might speak again, but differently.”<br />
