Aurora Picture Show and the

Institute for Adaptive Reuse present

SUPERANNUATE

July 5th & 6th, 2002

Aurora Picture Show in association with the Institute for Adaptive Reuse presents SUPERANNUATE, an ongoing investigation of all things pre-owned and second-hand by Christopher Wilcha and John Freyer. 

SUPERANNUATE includes an evening screening of films and videos about, influenced or inspired by the second-hand on Friday, July 5th, 2002.  On Saturday, July 6th 2002 all are invited to participate in the first annual Aurora Picture Show All States Swap Meet Fundraiser.

SUPERANNUATE will be the culmination of a three-week feasibility study sponsored by the Institute for Adaptive Reuse to evaluate the immediate and long-term potential of second hand subsistence.  IAR-tists in residence Christopher Wilcha and John Freyer will depart from Brooklyn, NY on June, 22 2002.  They will acquire all of the items necessary to travel to Houston and conduct their reuse investigation from second-hand sources nationwide, including but not limited to military auctions, unclaimed luggage vendors, foreclosed land auctions, regional Want Ads, thrift stores, eBay, impounded vehicle outlets, second hand book stores and school district surplus clearances. Freyer and Wilcha will post daily research notes about their travel and acquisitions to the report pages of www.adaptivereuse.org
