Join us for a film-centric First Friday! In the gallery: Crystal Z Campbell’s Go-Rilla Means War Installation. Featuring 35mm footage salvaged from a now demolished black civil rights theater in Brooklyn, New York, Go-Rilla Means War is an experimental short that merges fact and fiction. The film is a relic of gentrification and highlights the complex intersections of development, cultural preservation, and erasure in the form of an intricately woven parable and celluloid frames weathered by decades of urban neglect. Project Space 1: Chris Holmquist Open Studio and Performance. Chris has been experimenting with 3-D imagery during his time in the project space and will have a performance/screening of the results.Project Space 2: Nick Gurewitch Open Studio. Nick has been working to storyboard a motion picture to be produced in Rochester, NY featuring muppet-like creatures that serve to externalize psychological functions and ideas inside the minds of people appearing on screen.
