Gallery 164 hosts a sight and sound extravaganza with Eno-esque music by Temporary Dream—David Gracon, Greg Genco and Jeff Fose—accompanying a 20-minute video entitled Where the Cicadas Sing. Gracon edited the video, incorporating historic eight-millimeter footage of WWII Japanese-American internment camps shot by David Tatsuno. A melancholy meditation on the loss of civil rights, the piece is ironically humorous in a contemporary context. Brian Milbrand offers three seven-minute works: The Patriot, a reworking of the Mel Gibson vehicle designed to explore differences between patriotism and nationalism; Cat’s Meow; and the interestingly titled The Film Robert Longo Should’ve Made, invoking the name of Hallwalls’ founder. The pieces were created expressly for three-channel projection in the gallery’s triple-screen video theater. Nimbus Dance will turn the evening on its head with “hip-hop tinged, Pilates-inspired hanging feats” as two of Milbrand’s untitled 16-millimeter film projections play. Nimbus performers Beth Elkins, Theresa Baker and Aaron Piepszy will describe their dreams as their bodies serve as kinetic projection screens in a cabaret setting designed by architect Brad Wales with assistance from Jon Spielman and Rich Maklary. To close the show, Milbrand and Vince Mistretta will create a spontaneous, hand-drawn, double-wide, 16-millimeter film that will evolve as it loops through the projector while the artists add magic marker to the celluloid—projected onto the bodies of the Nimbus dancers. Wow! Tuesday, August 1, 8-9pm. $3.
