Kelley's carnivalesque opus is a genre-smashing epic in which vampires, dancing Goths, hillbillies, mimes and demons come together in a kind of subversive musical theater/variety revue. This riotous, feature-length theatrical spectacle unfolds as an episodic series that forms a loose, fractured narrative. The video comprises parts 2-32 of Kelley's multi-faceted project Extracurricular Activity Projective Reconstructions, in which trauma, abuse and repressed memory are refracted through personal and mass-cultural experience. The source materials are high school yearbook photographs of "extracurricular activities," or what Kelley terms "socially accepted rituals of deviance." Kelley then stages video narratives around these found images. Here these restagings take the form of "folk entertainments" that Kelley memorably subverts.

Deep Blue Sky is a witty game of association and juxtaposition. In this silent motion drawing or "structure," Weiner engages in visual and linguistic play. The interaction of Weiner's elliptical text and graphic symbols - which suggest stylized tic-tac-toe boards - allude to the relationships between artist/viewer and language and perception: "That of which there is no trace does not enter into the equation."

Through a journey based on the Situationists’ dérive, by night and from a boat… Dérive Veneziane bri...
