Penny W. Stamps Distinguished Visitors Series: Saskia Olde Wolbers February 18, 2010

Expanding the realm of the believable, Saskia Olde Wolbers makes narrative videos void of actors, where temporary and unstable miniature film sets, often dipped in paint and filmed under water, play alongside a voice-over as an intuitive guide to the visuals. During her presentation she will screen Kilowatt Dynasty, Placebo, Interloper, Trailer, Deadline and a new work. Olde Wolbers has won the Baloise Prize at the Basel Art Fair and the Beck’s Future Prize. With support from UMMA, Department of Screen Arts and Cultures, the Ann Arbor Film Festival, and MOCAD.

Established with the generous support of alumna Penny W. Stamps, the Distinguished Visitors Program brings respected emerging and established artists/designers from a broad spectrum of media to the School to conduct a public lecture and engage with students, faculty, and the larger University and Ann Arbor communities. Additional support is provided by our media sponsor, Michigan Radio.

Unless otherwise noted, all programs take place on Thursdays at 5:10 pm at the historic Michigan Theater, located at 603 E. Liberty Street in downtown Ann Arbor, and are free of charge and open to the public.
