A selection of mature, recent work from several artists currently living in Chicago, most of whom are showing filmwork in the Bay Area for the first time. Guest curated by Konrad Steiner.

Gary Katz: Gary’s Hurricane. “Images of my past, a lineage of one generation to the next, which open uneven roads.” — G.K.

Diane Smith: Symmetry Groups. Rather than a portrait of appearances, a subtle comment on the invisible family relationships.

Tatsu Aoki: Rapturous; Sound in Synch, Parts 1 & 2. Fluorescent illumination of the Monroe St. underground garage; the oblique recording of an accident in downtown Chicago.

Diane Smith & Tatsu Aoki: April 4th, 1981. A quiet document of a wedding reception.

Harvey Nosowitz: Manifest Destiny; Harbor. Shot on seedy Lawrence Ave. and the Grant Pk. Marina respectively, these films deal with the sound-image disparity in the urban landscape.
