Frameworkers,
Hello from Chicago and sorry for the last-minute screening news, but I've
just landed back in the City of Broad Shoulders and have a somewhat
impromptu film+performance going on tonight! Here are the finer details:
*Heaven Gallery <http://heavengallery.com/> Presents:
TRYPPS TRYPPS TRYPPS TRYPPS TRYPPS TRYPPS
FILMS + PERFORMANCE BY BEN RUSSELL*
*Saturday, May 23, 7-9pm
1550 N Milwaukee, 2nd Floor
Chicago, IL
FREE*
After a long year of traipsing 'round the globe, itinerant Chicagoan, media
artist, and curator BEN RUSSELL wanders into the hallowed halls of Heaven
Gallery for a special presentation that promises to annihilate your physical
self entirely. Featuring a full set of 16mm films from his TRYPPS series and
culminating in THE BLACK AND THE WHITE GODS, a live double-projector
performance (with light-sensitive audio circuits! flicker loops! a human
skull!) that will send your optic nerves reeling, this is New Modernist
Neo-Psychedelic Ethnographic Filmmaking at its finest. From spraypaint
transcendence to dead tree deliverance, Lightning Bolt freak-outs to Richard
Pryor seances, and the ecstatic capitalism of Dubai to the funereal rites of
Surinamese Marooons, this is one screening that will stay burned in your
retina for ever and ever and ever.
WARNING: This show contains visuals that may be harmful to those with
epilepsy.
