Gispert, writes Edwin Stirman in <em>Art in America<\/em>, \u201caims for a new kind of baroque drama and satire by contrasting beauty and grotesquerie.\u201d This evening, Gispert will provide an overview of this work in all mediums, including his 2008 film,<em> Smother<\/em>, and the multi-channel portrait, <em>R\u00e9ne<\/em> (2008). Set in 1980s Miami, <em>Smother<\/em> follows the adolescent Waylon, boombox in tow, on a kaleidoscopic and macabre journey out of his overbearing mother\u2019s clutches into a magical-realist nightmare world of his own making. <em>R\u00e9ne<\/em> is an intimate, inventive study of family friend and Cuban \u00e9migr\u00e9 R\u00e9ne as he goes about his daily routine in Miami Florida. Co-presented by Parlor Room, a visiting artist and lecture series created, run, budgeted and curated by graduate students in SAIC\u2019s Photography Department.
