  2. Untitled is a non-linear montage of archival and pop footage recalling the passionate activism sparked by the early years of the AIDS crisis. Un-spooling at multiple levels, the narrative flies between scenes of tragic brutality to kitschy humor, arch clips of laughter and ironic surprises while shredding traditional chronology. Many references – the title, short excerpts from Golden Girls and Dynasty, popular songs, and contemporary issues – nod towards Felix Gonzalez-Torres’ oeuvre, but the film is not an attempt to portray the artist; rather, it places the viewer “in his room.” In this way, the framing of the artist becomes a means to project any number of people, endlessly.
Wed. 12/7
  1. 7:30PM, Chem 1210, FREE!
  2. In the film, he discusses his creative process for his filmmaking and how Transcendental Meditation helps him as an artist and as a person. The film will last about an hour. All students who attend the screening will be eligible to receive a half off discount of the student rate for learning Transcendental Meditation. The film will be an interesting and informative presentation, as meditation especially beneficial to students who are interested to learn a way to improve creativity, reduce stress, stay healthy, and improve brain functioning.
