Film Screening and Filmaker Q&A at the Asheville Art Museum

July 15, 2 PM at the Asheville Art Museum, 2 S Pack Square in Asheville NC.  The Museum hosts a special Film Screening and Filmmaker Q&A for "Sick-Amour". Filmed over the course of five years, the movie chronicles multimedia artist Joel Tauber's five-year love affair with a once-beautiful sycamore tree in the parking lot of the Pasadena Rose Bowl, and his quest to revive and protect the tree.

The Los Angeles Times describes the film stating that "[Tauber's] obsession functions as a sort of spotlight, illuminating, through a tree, our dysfunctional relationship with nature".

Tauber lives and works in Winston-Salem, NC, where he is Assistant Professor of Art in New Media at Wake Forest University. Join us for a question and answer session with Joel Tauber after this screening.

The event is FREE with Museum admission.
