DiverseWorks on Wednesdays returns this week with two great events:Screening: Keren Cytter's Rose Garden, 2014 Digital HD video, color/sound 8:57 minA tragic story takes place in a Texan bar. Its drastic course and the lightness of the composition oppose each other contrapuntally. A virtually musical arrangement is formed by the repetitive employment of various elements (theme music, changing atmospheres, rifle shots). The therein presented, almost emotionless, acceptance of death is contrasted by the narrative of a father speaking to his son. Rose Garden explicitly criticizes the bigot mixture of family values, American gun laws, and societal behavioral patterns in general. Rose Garden was shot in Houston and features an all-star Houston cast including Winch Eagleton, Sara Gaston, Chris Hutchison, OTIS IKE, Nick Meriwether, Emily Peacock, John Grmillian, Wayne Gilbert, and Jim Hatchett. Directed by Keren Cytter; Produced by Ivete Lucas; Special Effects by Jack Burn; and Weapons by Pat Henderson. ________________________ Pecha Kucha with Luck of the Draw Artists: June Woest Earl Staley Penny Cerling Frank Sherwood White Eva Maria Lourdes Martinez Rosine Kouamen Hiyme Brummett Kay Sarver Each artist will show images and talk about their work in a fast-paced, fun environment. ________________________ DiverseWorks on Wednesdays is sponsored in part […]
