  • Gaze #9: Past Perfect • Future Tense

    Gaze #9A show dedicated to our relationship with time—looking into the past, the present, and the future—contemplating our connection to the clock and calendar. Seasons, cycles, phases, orbits and generations. How do we understand the longing for things that are gone or­ our desire to rewrite the past? What can we make of our anxiety of the unknown or the anticipation of things yet to be? Join us June 26th for the summer solstice edition of GAZE film series.

  • MULTIPLE PERSUASIONS: films and performances by Lyra Hill

    UPAn evening of short celluloid films and sonic performances by Chicago-based artist Lyra Hill.
    These works indulge a sensual relationship to environment and rigorous attention to the alchemical capabilities of celluloid. Lyra’s 16mm films employ in-camera special effects techniques to complement their magical subject matter: divination, hallucination, death, fluid identity, female sexuality, and dumb jokes. Lyra will open the show with a new, musical performance. This is the west coast premier ofUzi’s Party, an experimental teen dramedy about a Ouija sleepover. This is the first time Lyra will present work in San Francisco, the city of her birth.
    Lyra is an experimental filmmaker, cartoonist, and performer who specializes in creating immersive, psychedelic, and sometimes frightening environments for spellbound audiences. She founded and organized the performative-comix reading series Brain Frame between 2011 and 2014. She works as an educator and projectionist, and continues to exhibit and perform expanded interpretations of her artworks internationally. Lyra is particularly interested in blurring boundaries between mediums, experiencing things in person, unconscious drives, and the avant-garde.
