CINEWORKS PRESENTS SANS COMIC FOR SWARM 11 (2010)  

Cineworks Independent Filmmakers Society is pleased to present work by local film and video artists Barry Doupe, Julia Feyrer, Sharon Kahanoff, and Stephen Wichuk for the exhibition Sans Comic for SWARM 11 (2010).  The exhibition will be open as a one-night installation at the Cineworks Annex, 235 Alexander St. (Ironworks Building, back entrance).  Sans Comic brings together works that prompt nervous laughter, with moments of seriousness verging on absurdity, inspiring giddiness, even terror.  Through the condition of ‘inappropriate mirth’, the show’s title implies the status of the ‘un-funny’; the works, through their playful and awkward gestures, question the social, ethical and formal conventions surrounding humour and taste.  The exhibition will be open for one night only during SWARM 11 (2010), Friday, Sept. 10, starting at 7 pm.  Refreshments will be available.
