In June of 1969, arsonists set fire to Houston´s Heights Theater during a run of the controversial film "I am Curious (Yellow)," by Swedish writer/director, Vilgot Sjman. Live cinema artists Potter-Belmar Labs will investigate this history within the context of late-60s Houston, taking into account the broader censorship movement of the age as well as the phenomenon of reactionary violence in our own time. Potter-Belmar live cinema performance will center on a remix of Sjomans film, exploiting the kaleidoscope shape of the film to shape their performance.

Aurora Picture Show
E/X with Luke Savisky
Sep. 18, 2010 8:00 PM - 10:00 PM
Along the bayou on the darkest edge of downtown Houston, the enormous, looming cylindrical shapes of four abandoned grain silos will be brought alive by E/x, Luke Savisky´s site-specific multi-projection performance installation at the Buffalo Bayou Partnerships East End site. His recent large-scaleinteractivework, Eye of Texas (see photograph) was projected onto the 85ft tall Green treatment plant water tower and awestruck audiences in downtown Austin for the First Night festival.

For E/x, projected faces and bodies of performance participants will move through and interact with the shapes of the silos within pulsing layers of color and motion imagery created for the project by Savisky. Live imagery, original film footage and found elements from his 16mm, 35mm and digital archive will combine to evoke themes of defense, confinement, emergence and transformation. Accompanied by a soundscape composed by ambient masters, Stars of the Lid, the resulting experience will be sure to create a haunting, otherworldly scene against the glimmering urban skyline of Houston. This project made possible in part by The Creative Capital Foundation.
