Pairing readings by emerging writers who push the boundaries of narrative and form with screenings by up-and-coming artists who re-imagine the possibilities of film, "Between the Lines" showcases a new generation reshaping the creative consciousness of these United States. Door open at 7:30pm; Program starts at 8pm. "Between the Lines" opens on October 10th with Meehan Crist as she charts the intersection of neuroscience, philosophy, and memoir. Wells Tower evokes the darkness and light that lie beneath the veneer of convention with a style steeped in Southern story-telling tradition; and John Wray (Canaan's Tongue) plunges into the mysteries of the New York night with only the Kid Estados Unidos as a guide. Complementing these readings, artist Brent Green's handmade animation of a singular family history—screened with live narrative performance—shimmers with rough beauty; Sabrina Gschwandtner creates new nonlinear forms combining video and textile art; and sculptor and video artist Mac Premo shapes a portrait of Belfast from the city's forgotten industrial fragments.
