The DAM Contemporaries are Denver's longest running and most exciting support group for enthusiasts of Contemporary Art, supporting the collections, programs and endeavors of the Denver Art Museum. This Friday evening, February 11th the group will unveil new work in the Fusebox on the 4th floor of the Hamilton Wing at the DAM, a space sponsored by the DAMC and generally engaging in new media projects. The new exhibition features regional artist Stacey Steers' most recent film "Night Hunter." The film, produced over a period of four years, is comprised of 4,000 meticulously handmade collages and shot on 35mm film. Steers' animated films have been screened at The Sundance Film Festival, New Directors/New Films Festival presented by The Museum of Modern Art, the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., along with other festivals and venues worldwide.
Along with "Night Hunter" screening in the Fusebox, Friday evening will include a festival of Steers films screening in the Sharp Auditorium, with the schedule as follows:
6:30 pm Totem (1999) screening
6:45 pm Phantom Canyon (2006) screening
