The collective of local video artists Austin Video Bee and aGLIFF are presenting a nationally touring night of queer video art. CHANNELING: An Invocation of Spectral Bodies and Queer Spirits happens this Saturday, January 24, 8:30-10:00pm at the Hideout Theater on Congress. (NoCo? I’m sorry I even thought that was a word. Vomit.) The Cockpit on San Jacinto will host the afterparty.
Sounds spooky, no? It’s supposed to. To wit:
The intent of the program is to re-imagine film and video as occult technologies that allow us to connect with the bodies, experiences, and emotions that are often invisible – ghostly, even – in everyday life.
Boo!
(Um, Yay!) It’s a veritable who’s who in young queer video art. It’s the best five dollars you’ll spend all winter. Even better than that fiver you spent on those Obama panties.
We know you’ve got them… we’ve got them too.
