There is a media fest at Solvent Space/plant zero this weekend....
(seems to be mostly video... but still-- we are PRO-MEDIA here right?)
"Open-Ended," a Festival of Time-Based Media will take place on
Thursday to Saturday, Feb. 28-March 1, at 7p.m. at VCU's Solvent
Space, located at 4th and Hull Streets, next to the Plant Zero Arts
Center. Thursday and Friday nights will feature video work by 24
international artists addressing issues of identity, cultural
hybridity, and new cosmopolitanism, including work by Sonali Gulati,
Grace Ndiritu, Steve Reinke, Shelly Silver, John Smith, and Ryan
Trecartin. Saturday night will present a screening of "Operation
Atropos" by Coco Fusco, followed by an open discussion with the
artist.
This event is free to the public. For more information go to

"Open-Ended" was curated by Jeremy Drummond, Assistant Professor of
Studio Art, Department of Art and Art History, and N. Elizabeth
Schlatter, Deputy Director and Curator of Exhibitions, University
Museums, University of Richmond.

I thought the whole thing was pretty cool. I kinda have to take issue with the temperature problem and feeling frozen on Thursday. Plus there were all of these inconsiderate people coming in the middle of the showings! (read late!) My Favorites were Sonali's piece on telemarketing, and a translation piece with John Malchovich(the interpreter), and one other which was pretty smart!
