ACRE Artist Alexander Stewart Curates Short Film at Columbia College July 7, 2011

Columbia College Chicago partners with Artists’ Cooperative Residency and Exhibitions (ACRE) to redefine the purpose of an exhibition in the upcoming show Running Room, at the A + D Gallery. On July 7, artist Alexander Stewart invites the public to collectively watch the magic of slapstick, that “amid the onscreen exuberance and antics, the films communicate a nagging undertone that this slapstick absurdity is the last line of defense against the truly dire existential crisis of the modern world.” Running Room’s show promises situations and events that employ conspicuously no-tech visual stunts coming directly and sideways of such Keatonesque subversive city stunts.
