Program 3: other voices other rooms
Program 3 will feature artist Cristiana Miranda in attendance.
“Opening with a silent meditation on the cosmos, a study in celestial motion, the films in this program critique the touristic gaze and blur the boundaries between the virtual and the real, between ethnography and fiction, and rewrite traumatic histories while presenting visions both utopian and dystopic. Dynastic imaginary spaces erupt into our physical plane while virtual geographies turn back on themselves endlessly. A chorus of feminine voices, the deep murmur of subterranean waters, written and dreamed words, laughter, the ecstasy of rediscovered memory, the enlightenment.”

Program 4: yes yes yes no no no
Program 4 will feature artists Richard Ashrowan, Lorenzo Gattorna, Lucy Kerr, Courtney Stephens, and T2R/Laura Gillmore in attendance.
This program is dedicated to the memory of Carolee Schneemann (1939–2019).
“Opening with Richard Ashrowen’s gestural Lumen, this program draws inspiration from the legacy of the departed Carolee Schneemann. These introspective films examine familial, filial, and romantic love, and love that is fading, blooming, and exorcised. Public and private performance, from the bedroom to the street. Moments of hesitation and connection. We’ve learned the languages of our masters. What geometry of desire will help overthrow the state? Meow. The program concludes with two works by Schneemann.”

Program 5: feeling gravity’s pull
Program 5 will feature artists Lyndsay Bloom, Cherlyn Hsing-Hsin Liu, Lucy Kerr, Diana Sánchez Maciel, and Shona Masarin in attendance.
“There are so many stories and none of them are true. Lucy Kerr’s video/performance hybrid while you were away grounds a program of ascending bodies and bodies in collapse, mirrored, uplifted, and adrift in the universe. Images of absence expose distance between actual and virtual selves. Tenderness. Suspension. Turn the pages of a book. Are these the rules of the game?”

Program 6: our minds were light-years distant
Program 6 will feature artists Jeanne Liotta, Arte Matu, Lydia Moyer, and T2R/Laura Gillmore in attendance.
“Jeanne Liotta’s tour de force projection performance Path of Totality spins the most ecstatic of the cinematic from flickering loops and household objects to create a luminous show and tell that transmutates base matter to pure energy. Path of Totality anchors a program of discovered sights, found sounds, and meditations on the fragility of life and the inner lives of the inanimate. Reports from the world reinforce the urgency of our actions: forced, folded, and coaxed to motion.”
