Kansas City-based collective MK12 have created some of the best film title and effect sequences of the past decade (Quantum of Solace, The Kite Runner, Stranger than Fiction), as well as their own award-winning, experimental short films (Follow The Sun, Telephoneme). Their short film Overload was recently acquired by the Guggenheim Museum. Guest Ben Radatz will be here to present a selection of the group’s work and talk about the creative and technical processes in recent projects.

BYDESIGN Houston explores intersections of graphic arts and moving image with special programs showcasing the work of pioneering filmmaker Oskar Fischinger, legendary title designer and director Saul Bass, and contemporary design collective MK12. Join us in celebrating multidisciplinary works that have transformed our visual culture through design in motion.  All programs will be at Aurora Picture Show except for the first night which will be at the Museum of Fine Arts Houston.

Curator Peter Lucas has organized exhibitions, film screening series, and events in association with the Museum of Fine Arts Houston, Contemporary Arts Museum Houston, Menil Collection, Aurora Picture Show, Northwest Film Forum, Seattle International Film Festival, Experience Music Project, and a variety of other galleries and venues. He was named Best Curator by the Houston Press in both 2012 and 2013. Lucas is also an active artist and arts writer.

This program is sponsored by Scott and Judy Nyquist. Special thanks to Saint Arnold Brewing Company.
