    CHICAGO --

    Specialized creative agency Leviathan has added Bill Galusha as sr. producer. 

    Over the past several years, Galusha has produced and curated high-profile projects for clients including Google, NASA, Nike, VICE and YouTube. A former producer at Bot & Dolly (and its sister company, Autofuss), Google, and Obscura, Galusha has to his credit an array of groundbreaking interactive and experiential installations.

    For a few examples, in 2016, VICE’s arts and culture platform The Creators Project launched “Future Forward,” a nationwide series of events featuring original artworks from internationally renowned studios. Galusha was the series’ curator and executive producer. A year earlier, he and his team helped design, and fully fabricated Prismatic_NYC, a permanent kinetic sculpture which hovers just above NYC’s Highline Park. Among many other career accolades, Galusha and his team at Bot & Dolly won Best in Show at the 2014 SIGGRAPH Awards for BOX, which combined robotics, motion capture, and dynamic projection mapping.

    “I’ve always been very interested in what Leviathan has been up to–very cool work and very cool people,” Galusha said. “Teaming up with Chad [company president Hutson], Jason [executive creative director White], and their assembled talents, and really pushing forward together, I’m hoping that my experiences will resonate here and continue to bring big business and exciting new work opportunities for us all.”

    Hutson said of Galusha, “Bill’s breadth of hands-on experience producing content and interaction for environments is unmatched. We’re talking robots, mirrors, lasers, projection mapping, military-grade hardware, and beautiful imagery–all designed for physical environments.”

    Raoul Peck Resurrects A Once-Forgotten Anti-Apartheid Photographer In “Ernest Cole: Lost and Found”

    Friday, November 22, 2024

    When the photographer Ernest Cole died in 1990 at the age of 49 from pancreatic cancer at a Manhattan hospital, his death was little noted.

    Cole, one of the most important chroniclers of apartheid-era South Africa, was by then mostly forgotten and penniless. Banned by his native country after the publication of his pioneering photography book "House of Bondage," Cole had emigrated in 1966 to the United States. But his life in exile gradually disintegrated into intermittent homelessness. A six-paragraph obituary in The New York Times ran alongside a list of death notices.

    But Cole receives a vibrant and stirring resurrection in Raoul Peck's new film "Ernest Cole: Lost and Found," narrated in Cole's own words and voiced by LaKeith Stanfield. The film, which opens in theaters Friday, is laced throughout with Cole's photographs, many of them not before seen publicly.

    As he did in his Oscar-nominated James Baldwin documentary "I Am Not Your Negro," the Haitian-born Peck shares screenwriting credit with his subject. "Ernest Cole: Lost and Found" is drawn from Cole's own writings. In words and images, Peck brings the tragic story of Cole to vivid life, reopening the lens through which Cole so perceptively saw injustice and humanity.

    "Film is a political tool for me," Peck said in a recent interview over lunch in Manhattan. "My job is to go to the widest audience possible and try to give them something to help them understand where they are, what they are doing, what role they are playing. It's about my fight today. I don't care about the past."

    "Ernest Cole: Lost and Found" is a movie layered with meaning that goes beyond Cole's work. It asks questions not just about the societies Cole documented but of how he was treated as an artist,... Read More
