   A video program curated by Maggie Foster and Catherine Czacki. The artists selected for this program use elements of the dark and the comic, the quiet and the hysteric. The work shows that what may be hysteria might also muse on quietude, what may frighten might also make one laugh.

   Through the use of short, non-narrative video, these artists have found ways to illuminate such disparate themes, each lending their own process and unique execution to the individual works

Artists include:

carolina silva
Yin-ju chen
maggie foster

catherine czacki
tim sullivan
eric jones
justin costanzo
rie miyake
jo nigoghossian

 ROCK THAT UKE
The ukulele is more than a tiny musical instrument. It’s a state of mind.
This eccentric documentary examines the mystical allure of this
four-stringed underdog and the recent surge of post-punk musicians who have
taken up the instrument as a counter cultural statement. From the
traditional to the distorted, today’s ukulele players have tapped into a
raucous and irreverent source of irony, angst and impotent rage. Dir.
William Preston Robertson and Sean Anderson, USA 2002, 75 min.

Outsider music has no better representative than B.J. Snowden, a substitute
teacher who writes and sings songs about Canada and the U.S. Navy. Dir. Doug
