The people behind it
Zoltán Kőhalmi
Is there life after death? Are we alone in the universe? Where do half a pair of socks go? This evening, we finally get some disturbing answers to the big questions of existence. Comedian Zoltán Kőhalmi, who has already successfully tackled his everyday problems and childhood traumas, now entertains the audience with his real doubts and anxieties. Can a comedian joke about death when he is still alive? Can the audience laugh at him when he is dead? The Benefits of Pessimism is a funny show by a sad clown, where even those who think there's nothing to laugh about can laugh. The show is enjoyable for the optimistic audience, and even for the die-hard optimist, but don't count on it.

A video piece documenting the reenactment of the John F. Kennedy assassination in Dealey Plaza in a collaboration between two San Francisco-based artist collectives: T.R. Uthco (Diane Andrews Hall, Doug Hall, Jody Procter) and Ant Farm (Chip Lord, Doug Michels, Curtis Schreier). The artists taking on the roles of Kennedy, Jackie, and others rehearsed extensively to ensure verisimilitude, and when they performed the reenactment, it was executed with a striking attention to detail. While part of the video shows the artists playing on America's obsession with the media (T. R. Uthco's Jody Procter in his role as a secret service agent tells a camera, "We've always been worried about Dallas--it's a rough city, a gun city"), ultimately the video shows that the sacred images of the assassination cannot be mocked. This piece can be seen as a commentary on the pervasive media culture in America, as it explores how the Kennedy assassination itself became a new type of media event.
