“Episode: 2, a mixed media experimental video by Christopher Janke will be presented by Greenfield’s LAVA Center Oct. 23-25 and 30 and Nov.1. Hacking up styles from Chris Marker, Marguerite Duras, and Plato, this experimental film is an inquiry into racialized fear and “the turn” from politics to violence—and to what extent politics can ever be distanced from violence. The second in a series, this “episode” evokes and lives in the uneasy time between the election of 2016 and the inauguration of 2017. Janke has an MFA in poetry and one in Studio Art. He teaches at UMass and at Springfield College, and he is the Senior Editor of Slope Editions, a small poetry press.”
