After four years of programming at the Reva and David Logan Center for the Arts, Screen Share Video Gallery is leaving its body.

Although the physical screen will no longer be churning out a stream of videos and animations around the clock, our mission of presenting the work of exceptional students, alumni and visiting artists is not done.

At this point of transition, we would like to reflect on the wonderful material that has passed through our screen. We are grateful to everyone who has let us show their work, and to all of you who have supported our project by spreading the word, attending events and sharing our posts. We want to acknowledge The University of Chicago community, specifically the Logan Center, Department of Visual Arts, the Department of Cinema and Media Studies and the Film Studies Center for their ongoing support, and offer a very special thanks to Ben Chandler and Justin Williams at the Logan Media Center, Kent Lambert at the Hack Arts Lab and David Wolf at the Logan Center, who’s attention and guidance has made Screen Share possible.

Since the Fall of 2016, Screen Share has hosted 23 video programs (see list below), including new work by video artist Jacob Ciocci; a film premiere by DoVA alumnus Lauren Beck; and a retrospective of animated works by the late, great Hannah Frank. We also hosted two Late Night programs as a nod to night-time and public access television, and were lucky enough to host Let’s Paint TV! These were in addition to literally hundreds of works by our gifted students.

While it is with mixed feelings that the current iteration of Screen Share Video Gallery comes to a close, we are excited about the next phase. We are currently in the process of archiving our past programs for students and faculty to enjoy, and hope to continue collaborating with the MADD center for screenings and events. We remain committed to showcasing student-made video, animation and film work, which was always at the center of this project.

Thank you for tuning in. We’re so grateful for your support over the years. If you have any questions or comments regarding Screen Share now or in the future, please contact screenshare@uchicago.edu.

Be well,

Scott Wolniak, Director
Morganne Wakefield, Programming Assistant
