Film/Video MAGNETIC NORTH SEEN ON THE BODY THURSDAY, OCTOBER 26, 2000, 7:30 PM FREE AUDITORIUM |
SPECIAL FREE THURSDAY ENCORE SCREENING
These intimate and complex works reveal and explore the frailties and
conditions of the corporeal. Individual history and unexpected events
imprint the body, gesture and activity make visible the realities of the
physical, and imagined bodies provide a rich field for social critique
and play. Here, experience and the passage of time are written on the
skin, and desire, contradiction, repulsion, pleasure, incoherence, and
irony all reside. Program length 87 minutes.
