Opening Reception | Multidimensional view of contemporary expeditions


Setting Out seeks to untangle the terms that motivate and define contemporary expeditions. It holds in one hand the historical legacy of science, art, and society and their pursuit of all knowable and natural frontiers. It holds technology in its other hand and its connivance with human curiosity to see beyond each horizon. Together these fields create an image of the edge of human understanding.

Film | Michael Lehmann's Airheads (1994): Brenden Fraiser, Adam Sandler


A ridiculous, but cheerful film starring the poorly dressed and badly coiffed Brenden Fraiser, Steve Buscemi and Adam Sandler as three wannabes who just wanna get their demo on the airwaves. So they do the logical thing -- they hold a radio station hostage. Ultimately, we learn that these losers are lovable, music rules us all, and Lemmy reigns supreme.
