The word "mystery" derives from the Latin word "mysterium" which means "secret." But we use this word to describe things we don't understand, the ineffable, and the baffling. When we read a mystery, we are trying to solve a puzzle. And when we try to act mysterious, we want you to think we are up to something. And we are -- it's no secret you need to come witness the mysterious rites planned for Wednesday's event. The selected works come from Athens, Berlin, Minneapolis, Germantown (MD), and Los Angeles, including Denton Crawford's mystery of life, Aaron Oldenburg's plunge into asphyxia, and a performance streamed live over the Internet from California. Mysteries will be solved at 6X6, this Wednesday, July 7 at the Ciné Lab from 7-8 pm. Be a part of it; be there!
