More Art Tonight

Posted by on Thu, Jul 9, 2009 at 2:07 PM

ea01/1247173662-film3.jpgI left out one important event: The free screening of five short films about water, by artists including Stranger Genius Susan Robb. Robb describes this as "my first gen-u-ine work made with a real crew and a cast that includes Haruko Nishimura from the Degenerate art Ensemble." The film, called Water Lab, is described as

Investigating the interface that tap water creates with nature and our homes, Robb's video explores SPU's interventions through abstracted aerial shots captured in the Cascades and inter-spliced with quick cuts of sci-fi-like images of a "water laboratory."

The entire program—also featuring Seattle filmmakers SJ Chiro, Britta Johnson, Luke Sieczek, and Rick Stevenson, with films about filtering, foster children, microbes, and "Kingfish"—will run about an hour. All the films were commissioned by Seattle Public Utilities, which is why they're about water.

Doors open at 6:30 pm and the program starts at 7, at Central Cinema.

Luke Sieczek is apparently no stranger to the art world:
