Chris Sullivan (Screening and Artist Talk)

@ Block Museum

40 Arts Circle Dr., Evanston IL

Opening Friday, May 22nd, at 7PM

Together with Block Cinema, Northwestern University’s Department of Art Theory & Practice will host Chicago-based animator, performance artist, and experimental filmmaker Chris Sullivan for a screening and discussion of his film Consuming Spirits (2012). A handmade independent feature animation shot frame-by-frame on 16mm using paper cut outs, models, and tracing paper cell animation, the film chronicles the lives of three characters that live in a rust belt town called Magguson and work at its local newspaper The Daily Suggester. Though the characters first appear to be acquaintances, as the film unfolds, we find they have a long diabolical history, revolving around social service intervention, foster care, romance, and hatred.
