Joel Shapiro: 20 Elements (2005)
Joel Shapiro, the eminent sculptor, was invited by the Musée d'Orsay in Paris to participate in their project series titled Correspondences, the aim of which was to achieve new insights into the complexity of art through confronting some of the museum's masterpieces with ambitious contemporary works. Shapiro chose to juxtapose Jean Baptiste Carpeaux's La Danse, a large-scale manifestation of human sensuality which once adorned the exterior of the Paris Opera. The camera follows the assembly of 20 boldly colored wooden elements, a shining example of Shapiro's brilliant use of joinery, as the artist and two assistants work on putting the sculpture together and placing it in just the right spot in relation to La Danse. The film represents a unique opportunity to meet the artist and experience a rare art historical event as historians and curators question him on the issues of this daring engagement with Carpeaux.

On The Wings of Brancusi (2018)
Constantin Brancusi (1876-1957), the most important sculptor of the first half of the 20th century, has been a fascinating and enduring influence on a generation of contemporary American artists. Insights into Brancusi’s legacy are presented by Carl Andre, Lynda Benglis, Ellsworth Kelly, Martin Puryear, Richard Serra, and Joel Shapiro, with additional commentary on Dan Flavin, Donald Judd, Roy Lichtenstein, Isamu Noguchi,and Claes Oldenburg. In 1995, Anne d’Harnoncourt, Director Emeritus of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, asked Checkerboard to document the PMA’s acclaimed retrospective on Brancusi for the Museum’s archive. The resulting footage became the genesis of the documentary.
