BEN RUSSELL IS MEDICINE CABINET
I used to say "I" and "me"
Now it's "us", now it's "we"
A veritable cabinet of curiosities himself, occasionally Chicago-based media artist/performer/curator Ben Russell brings his heretofore unacknowledged skills of video camouflage and virtual mimicry to a one-night only engagement at the fabled Medicine Cabinet. Watch in slack-jawed disbelief as he transmutes the world into his image in reverse, utilizing a battery of tricks and tools in the service of ALWAYS BECOMING that include (but are not limited to): live video performance, light-sensitive electronics, Michael Jackson at age 13, and a makeshift cloak of invisibility.
