"Charlie plays an actor who bungles several scenes and is kicked out. He returns convincingly dressed as a lady and charms the director. Even so, Charlie never makes it into the film, winding up at the bottom of a well.

"Mixed Greens presents Post-Op, a group exhibition exploring the influence of Op Art within contemporary visual art practice. The recognizable movement of the mid-60s was dismissed by many critics of the time, but the movement—grown out of geometric abstraction, trompe l’oeil, and the uncertainty and perceptual change of the mid-20th Century—has proven to be of current importance. Post-Op brings together eight artists working in a variety of media, all of whom contemplate perception, form, function, and rationality to create works tied to the lineage of the Op movement. Through color, line, lighting, and even animation, these artists explore visual illusion in exciting ways.

Ken Weathersby uses colored patterns to render optically stimulating surfaces. Then, through physical interventions, he removes and replaces areas of painted canvas with surgical precision. While the tight acrylic and graphite patterns generate a sense of retinal movement, the interventions call attention to the physicality within, and extending beyond, the illusory picture plane."
