Everything Is Terrible! @ Brewvies 09.14
As part of the Two Head Cleaners and a Microphone Tour, the guys from EIT stopped by Brewvies Cinema Pub to show their two video collections: Comic Relief Zero and Everything Is Terrible!

Guerilla Girls Lecture @ UMFA 09.12
For nearly thirty years, artist activists The Guerilla Girls have been a thorn in the side of the art establishment, working methodically, humorously and anonymously to cast light on the dismal fortunes of women and minority artists.

Film Review: Emerica’s MADE – Chapter One
The video flashes the names of the three main skaters before showing an unfamiliar face. It introduces Jeremy Leabres, a half-white, half-Philipino maniac.

Schnitzer and His Family Foundation, and down the hall you’ll find a gender-crushing retrospective of Martha Wilson’s career, among others. No, you aren’t reading about New York City.

Project LTC & Stache Vol. 1 Snowboard Movie Premieres @...
When’s the best time to party? Easy, it’s Labor Day Weekend. Throw in some cat-lickin’, moustache-ticklin’, pizza-eatin’ and you’re set. Sunday’s premiere at Spedelli’s was the epitome of good friends coming together and super-ultra-pro snowboarding at its peak––but we’ll start with the party. … read more
