āDeath Race 2000! (1975, 80 minutes, directed by Paul Bartel) Sunday, February 3 at 8pm
This high energy cult classic is Cinema Minimaās antidote to this yearās Super Bowl. A Roger Corman production, directed by Paul Bartel, Death Race 2000! stars David Carradine, Sylvester Stallone, and Simone Griffeth. Taking you on a transcontinental race across a dystopian American landscape in the year 2000, Death Race plummets through itās spectators with unapologetic fury, in this murderous form of national entertainment. Based on the short story The Racer by Ib Melchior and homaged by such films as Quentin Tarantinoās Death Proof, this 1975 cult classic aims to please those with an unusual taste for retrofitted excitement.

Respond. React is an exhibition of artistic responses between artists John Bambino and Lewis lain. This experiment in collaboration began with both artists creating a painting. These first āprimeā paintings were exchanged and each artist lived with the otherās painting for one week. Each artist then created a painting in response to the otherās āprimeā painting. The second paintings were again exchanged and again lived with for a week. Each artist created another painting based off the otherās second painting. These paintings were then exchanged. This cycle of response and reaction continued for four months and the outcome created the series of the paintings currently on display at Coleās. (Gallery of images on fb)
Lewis LainLewis LainJohn BambinoJohn Bambino
John Bambino is a Chicago artist that believes that art should represent oneself, thus his work represents himself. John thinks life is complicated enough; sometimes too much going on in any piece of work can take away from the original meaning and feeling of the piece. His work is composed of simple, bold colors, and his goal is to make his work very enjoyable to look at and for it to stand out amongst everything else. John Bambinoās style is influenced by his cousin, friends, being involved in the hip-hop community, and looking at other artistsā and graffiti artistsā work. www.coasp.tumblr.com
Lewis Lainis a multi-medium artist residing in Chicago. His work focuses on storytelling with simple design and recycled āresonantā material. His use of re-claimed windows and found-glass as canvas with cardboard and acrylic results in multi-dimensional paintings punctuated with extensive use of color and texture. Recent exhibitions include āoriginsā and āworldview,ā and a mural commissioned by the Village of Oak Park. He is fascinated with constant exploration of the balance between mundane action and annihilating revelation. www.lewislain.com
