“Accumulated Body” E. Aaron Ross
“Accumulated Body is a collection of videos from my father’s childhood growing up in Texas, narrated by my father. Originally shot on film during the idealized golden age of America, the film has since been converted to VHS with the originals discarded. This footage is combined with documentary video of the destruction of my personal documents from birth to my 25th birthday, for the purpose of turning the recycled paper into a sculpture for burning. Accumulated Body is about cyclical parallels, losing a sense of the present, and the inevitable degradation of history by the stream time.” -E.AR

“Alien Hour” Adrian Pijoan
Dr. Howard Lafayette, paranormal researcher, has a PhD in veterinary medicine as well as PhD level astrophysics coursework at Walden University. Through his extensive travels across the American Southwest as well as attendance at Bigfoot and UFO research conferences, Howard has gained knowledge and exclusive information about UFO research and the Bigfoot paranormal connection.

http://valeriecarberry.com/wolniak-fields.phpScott Wolniak is a multidisciplinary artist who’s work in drawing, painting, sculpture and video explores ontological questions rooted in everyday life. Labor intensive craft and humble materials are utilized, along with a combination of manual and automated techniques, to create hybrid forms that blur distinctions between found and made. Recent projects have explored the relationship of damage and beauty, with on-going themes such as humor and the sublime, nature, geology, phenomenology, metaphysics, the apocalypse and relentless positivity.
Wolniak has exhibited at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; the Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago Cultural Center; Hyde Park Art Center, Valerie Carberry Gallery, Spencer Brownstone Gallery, Peres Projects, Andrew Rafacz Gallery, 65Grand, and Judith Racht Gallery, among others. His work has been reviewed in ArtForum, Art in America and Art News, and featured in New American Paintings.
Wolniak received a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 1995, and MFA from the School of Art and Architecture, University of Illinois at Chicago in 2002. He recently received the Janel M. Mueller Award for Excellence in Pedagogy.
