Jillian McDonald examines the ways film genres and archetypes affect their audiences and the fan sub-cultures that fuel the film industry. Whereas earlier work centered on celebrity fan obsession, Mcdonald's current work concentrates on the manufacturing of fear as entertainment that the horror film genre accomplishes. Frank McCauley’s video works utilize imitation, mimesis, and modification as a strategy of appropriation. Many of his projects operate on the level of costume, disingenuous charade, and nostalgia. Artist's talks begin at 8:00 p.m. in the Hallwalls Cinema.
