Co-presented with the Houston Cinema Arts Society, Aurora is pleased to present the a sneak preview of the full length independent video documentary, What If, Why Not: Underground Adventures of Ant Farm, first presented as a rough cut at a video salon with Aurora. This is the first film to delve into the work of the renegade 1970s art/architecture collective Ant Farm, best known for its iconic land-art piece Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo, TX. R

adical architects, video pioneers, and mordantly funny cultural commentators, the Ant Farmers created a body of deeply subversive work that questioned everything by posting a set of creative and comedic alternatives.

A panel discussion will follow the film presentation.
