UWM Union Theater / Experimental Tuesdays
7pm *FREE*
"I believe that somewhere, there is something worth dying for, and I think it's amazing”
Video artist/performer Ryan Trecartin in person
Co-presented by the Milwaukee LGBT Film/Video Festival

Welcome to the digital psychedelic world of Ryan Trecartin, whose work – seen on YouTube and in the Whitney Biennial – echoes Jack Smith, the Kuchar Brothers, and PeeWee Herman while being raucously original and exuberantly beautiful. Working with a spirited and zestfully committed collaborative ensemble of like-minded “experimental people,” Trecartin crafts – and quickly and gleefully explodes – narratives both home-grown and marvelously flamboyant.

Ryan Trecartin will be screening I-Be Area, his new video, and will be accompanied by special guest Lizzie Fitch.
