ARTIST TALK: BEN RUSSELL

Tomorrow night, Tuesday, September 14 at the Museum of Contemporary Art there will be a (FREE!) artist talk with UIC faculty member and filmmaker Ben Russell. The talk will take place in the MCA theatre at 6:00 p.m.

As part of his UBS 12 x 12 artist’s talk, Ben Russell presents films from his past curated programs in order to expand on themes that lie within his newest work, Trypps #7 (Badlands). “From early cinema to psychedelic mind-melt, ethnographic study to hand-processed portrait, and occult attraction to aquatic flicker film, this is a media map of analog influence that locates curatorial practice as a critical component to art-making today.” 

Check out the MCA website for info on what will be screened.
