What’s in the experiment? A bit of everything, and then some. Featuring experimental work, music videos, animation and new narrative explorations, this program surveys the strange and beautiful, the super-saturated, the sensually textured, the intimate, the uncomfortable and the wacky. Reworked film and video footage and still images are collaged to reclaim and queer gender and sexuality. Masculinity is exposed through domestic tasks and poetry. Femininity is celebrated through strength, the knowing gaze, and cake. BDSM intoxicates. The experiment is a delicious mix of subversion, sexuality, and humor. Program curated by Aliza Shapiro.
