Chicago – In what has become an annual happening, Chicago arts power couple Rebecca Fons and Jack C. Newell bring back “Destroy Your Art,” an event in which a filmmaker creates a film, shows it once to the audience, and then destroys it forever. Destroy Your Art takes place on August 10th, 2019, at Inside Town Space in the West Town neighborhood, Chicago. For more information, including tickets, click here.
“Destroy Your Art” will feature five filmmakers – Amir George, Jim Vendiola, Kaitlin Martin, Juliette Strangio and Molly Hewitt – as they show their seven minute or less short films. After that One Showing, the films will be destroyed forever (via blow torch) never to be seen again. The concept challenges the notions of permanency, images, expression and our perception of what time/space means. Audience participants, and the filmmakers themselves, will be the only witnesses to the final products, before they are never shown again.
