If you're within 24 hours of Chicago, we hope you'll join us at the Nightingale Cinema tomorrow night to raise support, funds, glasses and awareness for Joe Gibbons.
*Other Provocations* 2/25/2015, 7 pm, Nightingale Cinema, 1084 N. Milwaukee, Chicago Joe Gibbons, the brilliant, provocative artist, was arrested on New Year’s Eve for bank robbery. The New York Post—all salacious details, condescending scare quotes and scandalous urgency—breathlessly reported the story but left out some of the best parts. The Nightingale Cinema, in solidarity with other cinemas across the country, is doing its small part to raise (among other things) awareness of Gibbons‘ fascinating work and his present predicament. We’ll be screening a range of his works, made both collaboratively and on his own. A pioneer in experimental autobiography(?), Gibbons‘ work—which has shown in contexts like four Whitney Biennials, the Museum of Modern Art and the Rotterdam Film Festival—often centers on Joe—an anxious, if genius, misanthrope. The work is risky and smart, disarmingly funny and constantly bumping up against its own consideration of truth.
