The Magic, Magic Rug (Smarty's Party Redux)

Magic, Magic Rug is a film designed for multiple screens to be part of a large scale immersive art exhibition with original music by Frank Zappa alum, Arthur Barrow and is the follow up to Dance of the Little Bells – the time period of these two works covers the run up to the 2016 election and ends with the 2020 aftermath– it is not a telling of the news but a surrealist reaction to the zeitgeist set in a future that rhymes with the past and is weird like now - Baer’s premise -imagination is a survival tool –
