“I Want to Feel Clean”, a video work by Denise Parsons, compiles clips of footage of her in her own bathtub. Thoughts of baptism and confession come to mind as Parsons reveals a wide range of emotions while letting us look in on her intimate and ongoing struggle to cast off and renew. Artist Deer Fang debuts “Cannibal Cafe,” a live video production using stories adopted from the news. This thriller to be shot during the two hour reception has several roles cast for the production, but also utilizes the participants of the show for the film. Fang uses video as a form to initiate a temporary collective moment, and uses narratives drawn from culture reproduction such as the news and books. Also on view will be the work of Alfonso Aguirre.
