August 28, 8 p.m. Bird of Paradise in Slow Time A special screening of Christina McPhee's new video work, as a preview to a solo exhibition of her work at Cara and Cabezas in 2011. McPhee is from Los Angeles, studied at the Kansas City Art Institute and received her MFA in painting from Boston University. She works across mediums, including drawing, video, and photomontage, often using a hybrid of them, and has described her work as "psychogenerative" in how landscapes emerge through her assemblage of site-specific work.
