Thursday Night Thing


THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 6
PARALLEL LINES
Memory Is Your Image of Perfection artist Susan Silton works in various lines of media, including photographic-based processes, video, installation, and offset lithography. Hear Silton discuss her work, currently on view at MCASD Downtown's 1001 Kettner galleries.

The artist's large-scale chromogenic prints fuse together colorful vertical stripes with mid-century apocalyptic film stills that responded to U.S. fears during the Cold War. Playing off the fear and tension of current political and economic times, pose for the camera with your most frightened face. Then, using the printed photo and a vibrant, transparent veil of vertical stripes, create your own Silton-inspired photographic souvenir.

Plus, live music on the plaza, featuring the heavy rock of local favorites Transfer; psychedelic pop by Tucson-based Holy Rolling Empire; and DJ Skullcrusher playing a mix of electro and alternative.
