SEEING HEARING SCREENING pairs four British filmmakers with four performance artists based in the US to confront the theme of intimacy and memory in institutional spaces. Curated by Angharad Davies. January – April 2015 at LODGE (in service of the dark arts), Chicago.
LODGE is a winter project-space organized and curated by Angharad Davies and Phil Peters. Sited in
a former banqueting hall, windowless with partially dilapidated faux-finishings, LODGE will present a series of film screenings, performances and public exhibitions; an arc of dark light to guide us through the winter months.
