THE HOSPITALITY LESSONS!!

Cue-Up presents - -
Hospitality Lessons

Hospitality Lessons is an all new format for Cue-Up and open screening at VIVO. As in the past, all video producers and artists are invited to bring up to 15 minutes of video based work or work-in-progress to screen and to discuss with the assembled audience. Each event will also include an invited guest who will present a talk or an intervention that puts hospitality into a critical context. The aim of this series is to learn about hosting both new work and old ideas.

All events begin at 7:30 with the sign-up of videos for screening from the floor (first come first serve). Video screenings will begin at 8:00. Interventions or comments by the guest will be interspersed throughout the evening (beginning at 7:30). The event will conclude at 9:30.
