1. Lecture: Oliver Lutz
Tuesday, October 25 at 5:30 PM
Lamar Dodd School of Art, S151
Oliver Lutz explores conditions surrounding the individual including methods by which s/he is
understood and defined through media and technology. His projects - which often involve
drawing, performance, video, installation, and notation - raise questions about culturally
conditioned rituals, myths, social interaction, and the viewer's customary relationship to looking at
art, to deconstruct and reconfigure normal codes of viewer, subject, and representation.

5. ICE-Vision: Big Trouble in Little China (John Carpenter, 1986)
Thursday, October 27 at 8 PM
Lamar Dodd School of Art Room S150
Film Studies major Will Stephenson continues ICE's informal weekly series, selecting a variety of
world cinema classics and subcultural curiosities.
"Big Trouble in Little China is a 1986 American martial arts comedy film directed by John
Carpenter. It stars Kurt Russell as truck driver Jack Burton, who helps his friend Wang Chi (Dennis
Dun) rescue Wang's green-eyed fiancee (Suzee Pai) from bandits in San Francisco's Chinatown.
They go into the mysterious underworld beneath Chinatown, where they face an ancient sorcerer
named Lo Pan (James Hong)." -Wikipedia
"Big Trouble in Little China is the all-American rabbit hole, full of intrepid female journalists, flashy
restaurant managers in Chevy sedans the size of big-rigs, and tour bus drivers ("bus for tourists!")
as the transcendental sages of the hour. A fringe mob battles the forces of evil with all the
merrymaking slack of a sub-culture indifferent to its own achievements; only the inevitable
destruction of a city block clues in the outside world. Even then, no one believes the story about
magicians and gods and underworld spirits. The spectacle is there for us alone, faithful to the
myth of romance in the guise of an impossibly big Freight liner creeping through the narrow alleys
and produce stands of backstreet Chinatown...The movie is a craftsman's holiday, sending our eyes
languidly to the corners of the screen while our hero wrestles for his life with street gangs and
demons. More importantly, the film has not dated; its homages are reinventions, its script a
rejoinder to cynics and pretenders, and its heavy heart the soft landing for the excess in its fun." -
