FILM!

July 15
NOFS and the Contemporary Arts Center present: Film Series 2008 - I Always Do My Collars First & Random Lunacy

Another chance to see two of NOFF 2007's favorite films!!!

I Always Do My Collars First - a documentary that delivers an artful and unexpectedly entertaining look at what is often ignored as a mundane chore.

Random Lunacy - an astonishing portrait of the radically itinerant Poppa Neutrino, father of New Orleans' own songstress Ingrid Lucia.

FUN!

Peter Sarkisian: Extruded Video Engines 6,7,8 AND 9
Coming Soon In Our Galleries: July 12 - October 5, 2008

Peter Sarkisian: Extruded Video Engines 6,7,8 AND 9

An exhibition of recent animated projection sculptures from the Extruded Video Engine series by the American artist Peter Sarkisian (b. 1964). In place of the sometimes austere, even esoteric explorations of the recent past, his most recent sculptures are animations of impossibly futuristic, brightly-colored 'language machines,' which are projected at actual scale onto the plastic shell of the machines' actual shape, so that their vivid appearance is heightened by their three-dimensionality.
Opening Reception: July 12, 6-8pm - FREE ADMISSION
