DECK THE HOLODECK A Celebration of the Best, the Worst, and the Blorst of Star Trek TNG
Sunday, December 1 at 6pm Cole’s, 2338 N. Milwaukee
In honor of the upcoming holiday season, Cinema Minima presents Deck the Holodeck: A Celebration of the Best, the Worst and the Blorst of Star Trek TNG. The crew of the starship enterprise has encountered many exotic planets but few have come close to the range of excitement that is contained within the holodeck. Join us on December 1 and make sure to set phasers on fun!
The Peanut Gallery is a space for creative collaboration, experimentation, exhibition and good, old-fashioned mingling. Our goal is to connect creative people with one another and nurture a vibrant, inclusive community, while encouraging questioning of established norms and general, good-spirited mischief. We believe that 10 minds are greater than one, and collaboration/ communication/ cooperation is the basis for progress.

Art@Cole’s exhibit includes Traci Hercher, Brandon Howe, Charlie Megna, and Kelly Reaves. The Peanut Gallery is a space for creative collaboration, experimentation, exhibition and good, old-fashioned mingling. Our goal is to connect creative people with one another and nurture a vibrant, inclusive community, while encouraging questioning of established norms and general, good-spirited mischief. We believe that 10 minds are greater than one, and collaboration/ communication/ cooperation is the basis for progress.
Traci Hercher | As a right-handed, left-eye dominant artist, I locate and examine incongruities in America. Working primarily in the medium of photography during a moment in which our lives are over-photographed, I purposely document the anomalies. I seek to accomplish this without exploiting photography’s most unique and valuable trait: its veracity. I am invested in the relationship between myself and my subjects, as well as that of my body and the apparatuses by which I arrest movement in the world. I strive for objectivity despite its elusiveness; each photograph answers the question, What would this look like if I were not here?
Brandon Howe | The work was generated spontaneously, with little or no forethought regarding the final image. Over time, consistencies reveal themselves and patterns emerge. I believe in this method of art-making as a means of channeling what cannot be consciously defined.
Charlie Megna | Heavily influenced by Eastern philosophy, Tribal rituals and American skate culture, my colorful gouache and gold-leaf paintings combine loaded, symbolic motifs with the banal, the humorous and the commonplace. In these tribe paintings we recognize glimpses of sacred ceremonies that feel familiar, but that expand with closer inspection into mystery and secrecy. In addition to the paintings, I create costumes, physical relics, writings of the tribes myths, symbols and so on to further realize this created world.
Kelly Reaves | My work embraces hedonism. It is my attempt at clarity while clumsily bobbing in a pool of indulgence, my slaphappy pursuit of an unclear reward, drunkenly driven by manic whims and lofty but fleeting notions. I want my work to appeal to our most basic human emotions through lurid visual cues and a visceral manipulation of materials. I try to elicit lewd thoughts with only paint strokes. Oil painting is an ostentatious pursuit, combined with vulgar party deco to indulge my cravings for salty men, greasy sandwiches and sticky messes.
