In Excess - Film Screening at LightBox
At the Bok Auditorium
Combining CCTV footage, subterranean sewer camsM, and intimate vignettes of the people who keep the city clean, In Excess traces the journey of Philadelphia’s trash as it flows onto a surprising global path. Along the way, it reveals hidden ecosystems of waste management and the unexpected ways discarded materials resurface long after they’ve been thrown away.
CHOPPED/SLOPPED/SCREWED Artist Talk - LIVE
BLACKnet artist collective’s exhibition, Chopped Slopped Screwed, is an immersive multi-channel video installation that samples and combines the imagined worlds of its members; Zante Moore, Shori “Halie” Sims, and Logan Crompton. As post internet and meme concerned artists the collective often finds themselves ideating on the many forms a post internet society may take, and what space Black people occupy within it. In a world where Black images are commodified in an attention driven economy what does it mean for artists to reclaim and superimpose themselves in both digital and irl spaces?
