6:00 pm - Phantasm
Curated by Raphaele Shirley
Borders and thresholds crossed as the real is questioned and restated. Certitudes and projections are revisited when what surrounds us is shattered and rebuilt. In the works selected; dreams, sensations and aspirations command and redefine what we perceive and believe to be.

--- 6:40 pm - I Regress : Curated by Christina Vassallo
Employing the zaniness of psychedelia or evoking the nostalgia of childhood references, the artists in this video program construct all-encompassing experiences that provide a respite from reality. From the flash animation of Motomichi's "Walk" and "Drops" to the fantastical journey of Hooliganship's "Adventure," the selected works remind us of the charming beauty of our own inner monologues, but also the disappointment that stems from comparing them with reality.

--- 7:20 pm -Monica Duncan: Video Work : Curated by Aaron Miller
Monica Duncan is an emerging video, performance, and installation artist with an impressive and diverse body of work. Since receiving her undergraduate degree from The School of Art and Design at Alfred University in 2002, Monica has performed and exhibited her work internationally including: the Albright-Knox Gallery, ZKM, and a recent performance with Pauline Oliveros. This program represents some of Duncan's most interesting single-channel video from the past three years including “Hundred Hand’s” and “Female Communications” (with Annie Langan), which were created at the Experimental Television Center.
In these videos Duncan mixes body and technology through unique image processing techniques.
Duncan creates a space where the process and content are inseparable.
“Video Paintings,” a collaboration with Lara Odell, shows another side of Duncan’s work that is focused on composition and color.
These vignettes use the real world as a canvas while camouflaging their bodies into the mundane social stage.
