Through Saturday, April 23, Tuesday-Saturday, 10 a.m.-6 p.m., Ronald Feldman Fine Arts, 31 Mercer St. at Grand Street, 212-226-3232, free.
A LIFE ON FILM
Film stills and video installations by the founder and artistic director of Anthology Film Archives, Jonas Mekas, are on display at Maya Stendhal Gallery in the exhibit “Fragments of Paradise.” The stills, which Mr. Mekas calls “cousins of photography,” are drawn from his 50 years of avant-garde filmmaking in New York and his friendships with some of the most prominent artists of his day. Highlights include the short film “Elvis” (2001), which incorporates footage from Elvis Presley’s last concert, and “Travels” (1970), five short travelogues from Italy, Russia, and Sweden.
