FLICKERLOUNGE: Season-Long Cinematic Experience
Curated by Aurora Picture Show
January 19 – February 25
Location: DiverseWorks Artspace, 1117 East Freeway
Free Admission

DiverseWorks is a non-profit art center dedicated to presenting new visual, performing, and literary art.  For each DiverseWorks exhibition, Aurora curates a screening installation that takes place in the private screening room known as Flickerlounge.

Blurring the distinction between performance, video art and body art, these young artists from the University of Houston work with ideas about media, personal narrative and social commentary.  Using their bodies as tools for expression, short videos include a father’s excessive travel souveniers that take on a life of their own, a poetic line of sand, illegal immigrant stories, tearful false eyelashes and many others.

An opening reception will be hosted on Thursday, January 19th from 6-9PM.
