FILM: David Hall + Marlon Riggs at Light Industry
Marlon Riggs' 1991 PBS documentary Color Adjustment traces the history of African-Americans on television, arguing that the decades of changing representation had done little to advance accurate portrayals. David Hall's short "This Is a Television Receiver" collapses the distance between medium and content, recasting Alvin Lucier's I am sitting in a room for the audiovisual medium.
Light Industry, 155 Freeman Street, Brooklyn. 7 p.m. $7.
