Samson Projects presents a one-night video screening: And To That I Say This, curated by Kim Hennessy.

And To That I Say This is a series of short video installations by six diverse artists with poetic musings on contemporary global questions. Apropos to the demographical range of artists, the works run the gamut from reverent to light-hearted, verbose to succinct, agitated to unflappable.

The meditative, textually rich qualities of Susan Jahoda’s …of a worm in a pomegranate emphasized when juxtaposed with the repetitive tension posed by Emily Roysdon’s POW. Similarly, Sighting In, a short narration of a hunt scene by Justin Kemp. Newspeak, by Liz Unterman, points out certain tendencies of the media in a way that is both clever and poignant and Jesal Kapadia’s This is not a… is at once visually simple, complex, telling and ambiguous.
