MAGIC RECTANGLES is pleased to present ALEX BAG: Harriet Craig (1998), virtually at John Marshall High School.
Alex Bag makes the Internet look like a bunch of posers. Before the proliferation of Web 2.0’s self-affected user-generated content, Bag’s production began data-mining digital footprints before we had ever taken a step. Self-effacing, self-inflicted, and self-indulgent, Bag plays back for us evidence of what we’ve said, where we’ve been, what we’ve been thinking, and, primarily, what we’ve seen.
Bag’s Harriet Craig (1998), looks backward and forward. Replaying Joan Crawford’s Harriet, the scheming and controlling ultra-homemaker, Bag’s re-versioning prefigures, in black and white televisual melodrama, the pathetic and the aspirational of social media domestic life.
John Marshall High School is a comprehensive public high school that provides high-quality, creative and rigorous instruction for students in a diverse community.
LOCKER is located at John Marshall High School. MAGIC RECTANGLES is available via digital platforms. A screening will be held Thursday, February 4, from 6:00 – 6:40pm. Following the screening, work may be viewed via links at www.justlocker.com.
