Watercolor paintings created by Nick Humphreys and Richmond Smith
Description of show:
This part of the show represents a teacher /student collaboration between the teacher Richmond Smith and his loyal, dedicated student Nick Humphreys. For the past two years, Nick decided to concentrate all his artistic efforts in creating watercolor paintings in which we first began a self-portrait but from there he concentrated all his paintings on one thing he loves best: flowers. So, this a collaboration of different watercolor paintings, mostly of flowers in different ways, of Richmond and Nick’s special relationship and the artwork that they have produced over these past two years.
Mixed-media boxes
The influences for the ideas that he is conveying are influenced from poems that he has written and from personal experiences that reflect acute observations about the world that we live in. The influences for the artwork come from such artists as the many different styles of Gerhard Richter, the mixed media pieces of David Wojnarowicz, the combine paintings of Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg, and the boxes of Lucas Samaras and Joseph Cornell. Just like these artists, Richmond is exploring how an artist’s practice might incorporate as many materials and techniques that can possibly work with in order to express the idea in the best way. All these influences have led him to create a vision exactly as he sees it in the hope that the viewer will see it in the similar way.

Via Intercom is a Brooklyn-based duo almost too real for their own good, generating many-layered music to accompany lyrics with multiple meanings. The duo is comprised of Maggie Colgan on vocals, glockenspiel, synthesizer, and assorted electronic instruments, and Stevie Jick on vocals, guitar, bass, drum machine, trumpet, and still more assorted electronic instruments. They will stop at nothing to get exactly the sounds they were hearing in their heads, creating their own original blend of analog and digitally-based sounds.
There’s a narrative thread, voiced by Colgan, that never does resolve on its own, so you’ll have to make up your own ending. The place where it comes from is a place of pain, but the music is so beautiful, the lyrics so authentic, so full of irony and tenderness that you want to jump in and join this bizarre little micro-universe and create your own story in it. __
Wanda Waterman, The Voice
Films will also include short experimental screenings by Man Ray and Stan Brakhage, world acclaimed experimental filmmakers. All events at the Flood Gallery are by donations, and are open to the public.

Cache, 2005, Michael Haneke, France
Set in France, Georges is a TV Literary Reviewer and lives in a small yet modern town house with his wife Ann, a publisher and his young son Pierrot. They begin to receive video tapes through the post of their house and family, along side obscure child-like drawings. They visit the police with hope of aid to find the stalker, but as there is no direct threat, they refuse to help. As the tapes become more personal, Georges takes it upon himself to figure out who is putting through his family through such horror. A true Michael Haneke Classic.

The Taste of Others, 2000, Agnès Jaoui, France
Three men, three women, opposites, possibilities, and tastes. Castella owns a industrial steel barrel plant in Rouen; Bruno is his flute-playing driver, Franck is his temporary bodyguard while he negotiates a contract with Iranians, his wife Angélique does frou-frou interior decorating and loves her dog. The conventional Castella hires a forty-year-old actress, Clara, to tutor him in English, and he finds her and her Bohemian lifestyle fascinating. Is this love? What would she say if he declared himself? Through Bruno, Franck meets Manie, a barmaid who deals hash. They begin an affair. Are they in love? They joke about marriage. As the women hold back, the men must make decisions.
March 27
La Femme Nikita, 1990, Luc Besson, France
An urgent life-or-death dilemma befalls Nikita--the feral street girl and violent drug addict--after killing a police officer at point blank. Hopeless, Nikita is given a new lease of life, when she reluctantly exchanges her doomed fate for a secret government program that promises to mould her into a cold-blooded assassin under the wing of her sadistic mentor, Bob. Now--with a new set of skills, a new identity, and lethally sophisticated looks--Nikita is the ultimate weapon and the perfect puppet for doing the government's dirty work; however, what happens if this trained killer chooses love over death?
