Scott Andrew Kurchak's "Audition Day" and other shorts screen at Staples multiple times.

In navigating the hodgepodge of Infringement-related events in the coming week and a half, festival-goers would be wise to take a somewhat cavalier attitude. The main problem with the sort of over-stimulation a multi-media occasion like this brings is that there’s so much happening, everyone is bound to miss something. The more “in-your-face” each event or performance is, the more likely spectators are to notice it—whether they appreciate it artistically or not. So, in the interests of the more subtle presentations, such as art exhibits, painting demonstrations, film screenings, etc., we’ve compiled what is intended to be a handy guide to what’s on the wall during this mostly off-the-wall extravaganza.

There will be art exhibits hanging at many of the major venues during the 11 days of the festival. Most galleries will keep regular exhibition hours in addition to being open for special events. Other locations with ongoing exhibits—like Soundlab—will only be open during scheduled performances. So when entering any of the participating venues during Infringement Festival 2007, be sure to look up, look down, look all around—chances are, there’s more to see than first meets the eye.
