On May 8, 2008, The Archaeology of the Recent Future Association presents Locally Groan, You Have Homework To Do! Ta Da! ‐ an evening of new films, videos, and live performance by over 25 local Milwaukee artists. “Locally Grown” screenings, held at the UWM Union Theater, are always free & open to the public. This year’s festival will be a little different in that local artists were asked to complete an “assignment”, and make a new piece especially for the show. So, instead of curating, the curators handed out some homework. Specifically, participants were asked to complete one of two assignments: Using only one 100-foot roll of 16mm film or three minutes of video, create a film and present it with a recorded or live soundtrack. Inspired by Dadaist exquisite corpses and madcap collaborations, the hope is that the assignment's "rules" will create a joyful challenge for the makers as well as inspire an unexpected new piece for us all to enjoy. The results will be revealed at a screening on MAY 8, 2008, in a celebration of our community's ingenuity, sweetness, humor, and talent.
