DOUBLE EXPOSURE: Calum Walter and Nellie Kluz
@ Roots & Culture
1034 N Milwaukee Ave, Chicago, IL 60642
Opening Sunday, October 9th, from 7:30 PM - 9:30PM
Roots & Culture is excited to present another “Double Exposure” screening in which two moving image artists are programmed together in an effort to blend audiences and stimulate new conversations. Chicago-based artists Calum Walter and Nellie Kluz both observe the world, culling images from the commonalities and peculiarities of daily life. Kluz’s work falls more into the non-fiction arena, bordering on what we might call documentary, as she enters locations, events, and communities to watch and collect “social dynamics and small pleasures”. Walter’s pieces also start with observation, but he tends to pull the images in closer to the self and plays with the process of perception through various forms of abstraction. Their works remind us to pay attention to gesture and habit and contemplate the human rituals and activities that highlight elements, environments, and process.
The screening will include a mix of new work and films that have traveled widely to film festivals. You can find out more about the artists at: Nelliekluz.com & calumwalter.com
