The Colors that Combine to Make White are Important
@ LITHIUM
1932 S Halsted St, STE 200, Chicago, IL 60608
Opening Friday, January 19th, at 6PM
On view through Friday, January 26th
As a part of our current exhibition, Pseudo- & Hetero-, a full screening of Barry Doupé’s The Colors that Combine to Make White are Important (2012) will be held on January 19.
“The Colors that Combine to Make White are Important explores the power structure within a failing Japanese glass factory. Two parallel storylines — one involving the investigation of a suspect employee, the other a stolen painting — converge in an exposition on gender and desire. Doupé’s computer-animated film has its characters rapidly evolve through three distinct acts, while subverting the dominant archetypes in the Japanese salaryman genre. The hierarchical relationship between boss and employees is undone to examine language, art, and expression.”
— Barry Doupé
