Twenty Reasons by Feel Tank Chicago

Twenty Reasons: Originally a power-point performance, this video slide show with voice-over uses the genre of the list to address the contemporary phenomenon of political depression. The collaboratively-authored text, the result of a typical Feel Tank brainstorm, mixes humor and serious inquiry to delve into the troubled psyche of the body politic. Imagery combines original photos, documentation of Feel Tank projects and actions, and screen-shots from that immense sprawling data bank known as the internet.

Feel Tank Chicago is Lauren Berlant, Debbie Gould, Mary Patten, and Rebecca Zorach. In 2008 Amy Partridge and Matthias Regan joined the group. Our next power point performance will be at the HIPP (Hemispheric Institute of Performance and Politics), and will be a response to the new Institute at the University of Chicago dedicated to "free market" guru Milton Friedman.
