MAGNETIC NORTH
MAKING STRANGE, MAKING FAMILIAR
WEDNESDAY,
OCTOBER 25, 2000,
7 PM
$6 ($3 WALKER MEMBERS)
AUDITORIUM

|
In these works, the videomakers reframe everyday objects, activities,
and situations, in turns rendering the real surreal, reversing the seductions
of climactic and cinematic spectacle, and elevating the seemingly mundane.
Included are experiments with daily language, explorations--both sobering
and hilarious--of routine rituals, and performative reenactments of daily
life. Program length 86 minutes.
