Lend Us Your Ears ...
Select Stories From the Third Coast International Audio Festival
October 9 - December 5, 2004
Michigan Avenue Gallery in the Chicago Cultural Center
78 East Washington St.
Come experience audio documentaries in a new setting—a gallery in the Chicago
Cultural Center. This is the Third Coast Festival's first audio installation,
and we're keeping it simple: a darkened room, comfortable chairs and an audio
loop featuring the TCF ShortDocs and award-winning programs from the past four
years. The Third Coast Festival exhibit is produced in association with the
Chicago Cultural Center, which regularly showcases art, music, film and audio
installations of all sorts and is a popular destination for Chicagoans and
tourists alike.
Opening reception is Friday, October 15th, 6:00 - 8:00 p.m.

The Audible Picture Show:
Original Audio
Works for Darkened Cinemas
Wednesday, October 27, 8:30 p.m.
Gene Siskel Film Center
164 North State Street
Jaded with a world bombarded with image? Edinburgh artist Matt Hulse's Audible
Picture Show will remind you of what cinema can really offer ... without any
visuals.
A diverse range of inventive and creative people—including some of the most
interesting film makers and audio artists working today—responded to the
challenge of creating short audio works for "a darkened cinema." The result of
this experiment is a unique and entertaining experience giving the mind's eye a
welcome stretch—from an aural exploration of Nature vs. Nokia to the ramblings
of an Austrian social anthropologist who harbors somewhat puzzling ideas about
the world. Admission is $9 general / $5 for Chicago Public Radio/GSFC
members/Students, available at the door.

The Third Coast Festival Presents: Joe Frank In Performance
Fullerton Hall at the Art Institute
of Chicago
111 South Michigan Ave.
Friday, October 29, 7:30-9:00 p.m.
Sorry, this event is now sold out.
Joe Frank, an award-winning producer and master of the dark, humorous and absurd
in radio, performs a program specifically written for the stage. The story
begins when a man experiences an epiphany that causes him to abandon his wife.
Carrying a hastily packed suitcase, he walks out into the rain. His wife,
shaken and heartbroken, tries to understand what has happened—when a knock on
the door announces the arrival of an unknown and mysterious suitor. The
stranger declares his love, but as his stories become increasingly bizarre, the
situation careens out of control. What follows is a meditation on infidelity in
love, fellowship, philosophy and faith. (With trumpet player Ed Valfre and
dancer Tara Nicole Hughes.)
