The Village Voice called Green "An emerging Orson Welles of handmade experimental cinema." The artist is known for his highly original hand-drawn, stop-motion animated films. Green's latest film and exhibition is a true story about a quest to build a strange and wonderful house that could function as a healing machine for a cancer-stricken woman.

Negativland: Our Favorite Things Negativland has been making subversive records, images and performances since the 1980s. By mixing original materials and music with mass media audio and imagery, Negativland re-arranges found bits and pieces to make them say and suggest things that they never intended to suggest. This exhibition explores their "illegal" collage and appropriation based audio and visual works. Opens Saturday, November 6, 6-9 pm, Nau-haus, 223 E 11th. 832 618-1845
