Saskia Olde Wolbers (Dutch, born 1971) creates films in which her hand-built environments become the primary vehicles for expression, suggesting both the physical and metaphorical spaces between people. “Placebo” is loosely based on the life of a man who spent 18 years pretending to be a doctor for the World Health Organization in Geneva. In Wolbers’ reimagining of the story, an unnamed and unseen narrator wakes in a hospital bed after being in a car crash with her lover, Jean.

Start: 6:00 pm

Mad Art Gallery is proud to present Gus, the documentary film that peers into the life of St. Louis legend Gus Torregrossa. We are celebrating the release of the film on DVD with a screening and special event on Friday, August 15th at 7:30 p.m.

Gus Torregrossa is a beloved, mafia-esque figure in the world of hip-hop and in the Italian-American community of St. Louis. During the film's production, Gus and his store were facing the prospect of being pushed out of the Washington Avenue Garment District due to the redevelopment of the area into upscale lofts, restaurants, and shops.

Steely Dan – iconic, nuanced and hyper-literate - is highly regarded by connoisseurs of pop hooks, jazz harmony and desiccating wit for their inventive music-making. Spearheaded by a pair of resourceful musical auteurs – Donald Fagen and Walter Becker - they have done nothing by the books since launching Steely Dan in 1972. This highly anticipated concert is their first St. Louis theatre performance since 1974.
