Harry Smith was a wide-ranging, bohemian polymath: a musicologist, painter, magician, and linguist. He also made tactile, visionary short films with beautifully hand-painted frames, here accompanied live by the composer Will Epstein and his freewheeling band. Epstein’s album, “Wendy” – “an imaginative blend of cosmic jazz, psych, and 1970s soft rock” (Pitchfork) –was recently released on Fat Possum Records.
The Apparatus series is presented by Jane Street Gallery, Saugerties
