Half Suffocated Screening
@ Gallery 400
400 S. Peoria St., Chicago IL
Opening Wednesday, October 8th, at 7PM
Inspired by Los Angeles art collective My Barbarian’s explorations of feminist legacies, maternal symbolism, and their own roles as cultural producers, the films and videos in Half Suffocated star shaken sons, dazed daughters, multifarious moms, and a Brechtian lightbulb that shines a light on it all. Interruptions abound via stuttering motion, graceful repetitions, and shocks to the surface. Separated by decades, intents, and methods—but clashing playfully—these works knowingly allude to the serious artistic, political, social and historical situations that My Barbarian reenacts.
