  • Hybrid Autos, Part 2: Cinnamon

    • Wednesday, April 19 19:30

  • The Paradox of the 10 Acres Square

    Eteam is back! Franziska Lamprecht and Hajoe Moderegger return to their parched parcel of property in Nevada (previously seen in 1.1 Acre Flat Screen) only to face a right-of-way dilemma, right away, as a thoroughfare plows through their 660-square-foot square of scrub. Is the solution an overpass, bypass-or impasse? With works by Scott Stark and Jacqueline Goss.

  • Domestic Duet: Works by Jordan Biren and Jennifer Reeder

    • Wednesday, March 15 19:30

    Jordan Biren and Jennifer Reeder in Person. Biren and Reeder are both uncanny chroniclers of the suburbs as a place of charmed suspension and disquieting quiet. Biren's newest, My Mother's House, is like Thomas Kinkade with a chill factor. Reeder's new high-def noir The Heart & Other Small Shapes observes as the inanimate comes alive. With earlier works by both artists.

  • Monody in Harmony: Works by Darrin Martin

    • Wednesday, March 8 19:30

    Darrin Martin in Person. The innovative works of Darrin Martin use video as raw material for the reinvention of social mythologies, from Aviator, which gives performative expression to flying as a psychic state, to his object-related futuro-performance collaborations with Torsten Burns, to a recent visual exploration of acoustic loss, Monograph in Stereo.

  • Hybrid Autos, Part 1

    • Wednesday, March 1 19:30

    Jordan Biren and Lewis DeSoto in Person. DeSoto's Show Car on Display at the Theater!
