Jillian Mcdonald
Redrum
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
Casual Being
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.

The Ethnic Heritage Ensemble was formed 35 years ago. Kahil El'Zabar is the founder of the band and led its first performance at Child City Arts Center, in Chicago, in 1973. This was a year after he had returned from the University of Ghana. His goal was to combine concepts of African American music making with the earlier roots of traditional African music and make it something new.
Feb. 28, 2010 - Ukrainian Time Machine - Naomi Uman
Former HARP artist Naomi Uman returns to Hallwalls from Eastern Europe. Hoping to experience what it is like to be an immigrant, the filmmaker moved to the Ukraine shortly after her 2005 residency—a reverse journey taken by her great-grandparents in 1906. She will show four 16mm films from the Ukrainian Time Machine series that combine personal, experimental and non-fiction approaches to capturing life in the town of Uman, where people live as it were 100 years ago.
