This week, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., will host the first retrospective of documentaries by the Checkerboard Film Foundation, a nonprofit founded in 1979 to produce, distribute, and archive films that document American artists and the artistic process. As the title suggests—“Celebrating New American Architecture and Design: A Salute to Checkerboard Film Foundation”—the retrospective will put the spotlight on the organization’s architecture documentaries, with 10 films screened over a two-day period.
The first screening, on July 6, comprises films about Vincent Scully, Daniel Libeskind, Kieran Timberlake, Robert A.M. Stern, and Studio Gang Architects. On July 7, the museum will present films on Peter Eisenman, Steven Holl, Thom Mayne, and Rick Joy, along with the film “Diller Scofidio + Renfro: Reimagining Lincoln Center and the High Line.”
