@ WORK is a documentary public art project by Zoe Beloff and Eric Muzzy that was created to celebrate the working people of New York. The project gives workers a platform to share their thoughts about their work, their world and their dreams for the future. The project takes on multiple forms of portraiture. From the start Zoe and Eric saw themselves as facilitators. Their first step was to interview each worker. They began the conversation with the words, “we are here for you…”. Subsequently they build the interviews into short films both serious and playful that situates the subject in place and time. Each worker was invited to choose a song that energized them.

​
Just one day after EXPERIMENTS IN CINEMA v19.8 wraps up, the Guild Cinema enthusiastically gives the screen over for one full-throttled cinema-sprocketed evening from the one and only furiously rabid found-footage collage filmmaker/folk archivist, with his basement burst of orphan films all turned, twisted, and stitched together for a comic/critical smash against consensus reality! Two 16mm projectors will be unspooling industrial anomalies gone amok, plus crucial clips from his own films, including an ultra-rare screening of the New Mexico-lensed anti-colonial ¡O No Coronado! And a live expanded-cinema performance, in 3-D! BONUS book-signing of the newly-pressed CRAIG BALDWIN: AVANT TO LIVE epic scrapbook!
