Opening Thursday, November 11th, at 5PM
Cauleen Smith is a filmmaker whose work reflects upon the everyday possibilities of the black imagination. The 2008 video project, The Fullness of Time, repurposes the languages of physicists and astronomers to decode the rage, grief, elation, and hope that surround the contemporary reality of New Orleans. The Solar Flare Arkestral Marching Band, Smith’s most recent project, was produced as part of an artist-in-residence at threewalls Gallery (Chicago). The first component of The Solar Flare Arkestral Marching Band includes five marching band flash mob street performances inspired by Sun Ra’s Arkestra; the end result will be a larger video, audio, and writing project.
