Opening Reception: Friday, December 15 6-8 p.m. Exhibition Hours: Tue-Fri, 12-6 p.m.; Sat 11-6 p.m. Free. Known for her live-action and animated films that work within and against the documentary tradition, Jenny Perlin premieres a new installation developed from her research on 1950s wire-tapping and surveillance practices carried out by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. By restaging quotidian situations and misunderstandings evident in archival records, Perlin explores the ways in which political machinations are reflected even in the simplest aspects of daily life.
