Everything is Terrible! is the video and performance collective that is
responsible for some of the internet’s most hilarious and bizarre
videos. EIT! has posted daily re-edits for 11 years that have been
culled from the mountains of dead media on the verge of abandonment by
humanity. Some of their most widely shared videos include the creepy
yoga farmer Yogi Ogi Dogi, the pedophile-hunting Yellow Dino, Cat Massage, Pubic Hair Dying, and of course, the demi-child-god Duane.
One of Studio Ghibli’s three co-founders, alongside filmmaker
Hayao Miyazaki and producer Toshio Suzuki, Isao Takahata (1935–2018) has
created a body of work that is delightfully eclectic. This
retrospective includes all of Takahata’s Ghibli features, beginning with
the stunning World War II tragedy Grave of the Fireflies, as well as a selection of the theatrical films he made earlier in his career.

In AIR DOLL, the Galatea myth is transported to present
day Tokyo, when an inflatable sex doll named Nozomi (Doona) finds that
she has grown consciousness and a heart. She begins to wander the city
in quiet awe and fascination and, taking on a new life of her own,
discovers the innate complexities of being human, including the
heartbreak of loneliness. Joining forces with cinematographer Mark Lee
Ping-Bing (In The Mood For Love), Kore-eda’s intimate direction relays the struggles of finding human connection in the mess of modern society.

The first major retrospective of the groundbreaking video and performance artist.
A pivotal influence on contemporary art for over 50 years, Ulysses Jenkins
(b. 1946, Los Angeles) is a groundbreaking video artist who emerged in
the late-1970s. His video and media work is remarkable for its fusion of
forms to conjure vibrant expressions of how image, sound, and cultural
iconography inform representation. Using archival footage, photographs,
image processing, and elegiac soundtracks, Jenkins pulls together
strands of thought to construct an “other” history that consistently
interrogates questions of race and gender as they relate to ritual,
history, and state power.
Sparks are the influential art pop duo of Ron and Russell Mael, whose
career spans more than 50 years. The Los Angeles–raised brothers are
widely admired for the wit of their lyrics and the inventiveness of
their music, plus their effortless ability to shift genres between glam,
hard rock, chamber pop, and electro disco, sometimes within the same
song. The only constants are singer Russell's dramatic, heavenly
falsetto and energy, and keyboardist Ron's exquisite songwriting.
