The evening also includes selections from Gabriel Lyons Loeb’s home system<\/em>\u00a0series, a VHS project that\u00a0merges questions, sometimes\u00a0humorous or\u00a0philosophical,\u00a0with reworked footage from cassettes of Hollywood movies and TV programming including cartoons and fashion shows.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n Program:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Castle Dracula<\/strong> <\/span> “The series\u00a0Castle Dracula<\/em>\u00a0is comprised of short episodes taking the destruction by fire of the Castle Dracula in Wildwood, NJ as a starting point for the journey of a Seeker through an imaginary castle. Narratively structured as a Tarot reading with several mythic and allegorical sources woven in, including Goethe’s “Green Snake and Beautiful Lily”, the series places familiar characters along with bizarre concepts and abstract video effects.” – SG<\/span><\/p>\n Part 1 – Castle Gate<\/span> <\/strong><\/p>\n home system\u00a0(selection)<\/span><\/strong> “home system<\/em>\u00a0develops an obsession for language on screen from a familiar shelf in the consumer’s refuge. Emanating probing, voiceless queries, it harkens to another screen that’s grown comfy on the couch, willfully confusing a history of technological development in its re-presentation of language in search of meaning amidst the quickly-forgotten detritus of a consumptive society.” – GLL<\/span><\/p>\n can i be your friend? <\/span> Running time: approx. 45 minutes<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n _<\/span> Gabriel Lyons Loeb is a multimedia artist from Ann Arbor, Michigan.
