Playing on the Edge of Real
With Catherine Forster
Sunday, February 7, 1pm
Location: Aurora Video Library, 1524 Sul RossFree Admission (RSVP Kindly Requested)

Catherine Forster is a filmmaker, artist, curator, and educator based in the Chicago area.  Join us for a rare glimpse into her many perspectives where she will discuss her work as an artist and how that ties into her viewpoints as a curator of contemporary experimental video art.  Forster's artwork explores themes of identity, social development, and the impact of mediation on relationships and the environment.  Fortster is also the founder and director of a non-profit nomadic new media art space, the LiveBox Gallery.  Showing exampes of her own artwork, she will discuss the impact of mediation, of society's need to "package" everyting, even the ethereal, like our relationship to nature.

Catherine Forster received an M.F.A. from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.  Her artwork has been shown in exhibitions and screenings including the Carneie Art Mseum, Exit Art (NY), and the Cotemporary Art Centre in Vilnius, Lithuania, Echo Park Film Center, and San Diego Inernational Women Film Festival.
