GORGO Special Screening is an event that will take place this
Thursday September 12th, from 5-6:30pm at the Acadiana Center for the Arts.
On this
special occasion, three artists will take over a projector each within
AcA’s Main Gallery in order to showcase three separate videos. The
audience will be privy to a guided walk through of the exhibition with
Jaik Faulk, AcA visual arts director, and participate in a discussion
with the artists that will offer insight into the meanings and process
within the works.
This event is an occasion to expand upon and
explore the ideas central to Lala Raščić’s Gorgo. Featured in this
screening are three kindred female artists Cristina Molina, Nina
Schwanse, and Ryn Wilson, who were collaborators and conspirators in
Lala Raščić’s New Orleans community of artists. They, with Raščić, share
a dream of radically different feminist futures. Their works invoke
mythical female figures and engage in transformative readings of
mythological formulae.
