Set in 1990s Chicago, Go Fish stands out as a 16mm guerrilla-style film made on a very limited budget during the height of the New Queer Cinema movement. Directed by Rose Troche and co-written with lead actor Guinevere Turner, the film tells a story about the search for love. Max, a college student stuck in a romantic rut, spends her days discussing relationships and sexuality with her roommate Kia—until she meets Ely. A connection begins to grow between them, but Ely’s long-distance relationship complicates things.

Set against the backdrop of the AIDS crisis, Go Fish gives voice to marginalized youth, offering love and solidarity as a response to social exclusion.

Good News from the Skies

Inspired by the exhibition And Now the Good News, which focusing on the relationship between mass media and art, we prepared horoscope readings based on the chapters of the exhibition. Using the popular astrological language inspired by the effects of the movements of celestial bodies on people, these readings with references to the works in the exhibition make fictional future predictions inspired by the horoscope columns that we read in the newspapers with the desire to receive good news about our day.
