CRISPIN HELLION GLOVER: ArtSPEAK@FSW Event
7pm (doors open) on Wednesday, December 3rd, 2025
Bob Rauschenberg Gallery Annex/Rush Library Auditorium (Building J-103) at Florida Southwestern State College
Fort Myers, FLORIDA: The Bob Rauschenberg Gallery at Florida Southwestern State College is honored to announce that Crispin Hellion Glover, the internationally-acclaimed screen actor and movie director, will be returning to Fort Myers to present a special ArtSPEAK@FSW event on Wednesday night, December 3rd with doors opening at 7pm in the Rush Library Auditorium (Bldg. J, Room 103).
Screening “NO! You’re WRONG or: Spooky Action at a Distance” for the first time in Florida, Mr. Glover will perform a one-hour narrative reading of his illustrated books as “Crispin Hellion Glover’s Big Slide Show, Version 3” before presenting his most recent feature. Following the film, he will open the floor to discussion with a Q. & A., and will end the evening with a book-signing/meet n’ greet. Books and posters will be available for sale (with cash, Venmo or Zelle).
Crispin Hellion Glover began his prolific acting career at the age of thirteen. He landed his first film role in My Tutor in 1983, and was cast opposite Sean Penn that year in “Racing with the Moon.” Perhaps best known for portraying riotously eccentric characters on screen, Glover starred as George McFly in Robert Zemeckis' box office smash “Back to the Future” (1985), Layne in “River’s Edge,” Groovin’ Gary in “The Orkly Kid” installment of “The Beaver Trilogy,” the Christmas-obsessed Dell in David Lynch’s “Wild at Heart” (1990), Andy Warhol in Oliver Stone’s “The Doors” (1991), Howard Barth in Gus Van Sant’s “Even Cowgirls Get the Blues” (1993), Train Fireman in Jim Jarmusch’s “Dead Man” (1995), the Knave of Hearts in Tim Burton’s “Alice in Wonderland” (2010), as well as oddball title roles in “Bartleby” (2000) and “Willard” (2002).
Having world-premiered “NO! You’re WRONG or: Spooky Action at a Distance” at the Museum of Modern Art in NYC last month, the Bob Rauschenberg Gallery is honored to present this latest film for the first time in Florida. PAPER magazine once declared, “What Diane Arbus was to photography, Crispin Hellion Glover is swiftly achieving as a filmmaker… Training his sardonic eyes on the strange and afflicted, he achieves a mad dark poetry on celluloid.” This is a special “one-night-only” ArtSPEAK@FSW Event with Mr. Glover in attendance at the Bob Rauschenberg Gallery Annex/Rush Library (Building J, Room 103) Auditorium.
This event is open to the public, free of charge. The first-come, first-served seating is limited.
Adult content and themes. This film in not yet rated.
More about us: The Bob Rauschenberg Gallery was founded as The Gallery of Fine Art in 1979 on the Lee County campus of Florida Southwestern State College/FSW (then Edison Community College). On June 4th 2004 the Gallery of Fine Art was renamed the Bob Rauschenberg Gallery, to honor and commemorate our long time association and friendship with the artist. Over more than three decades until his death, the Gallery worked closely with Rauschenberg to present world premiere exhibitions including multiple installations of the “¼ Mile or Two Furlong Piece.” The artist insisted on naming the space the Bob Rauschenberg Gallery (versus the “Robert Rauschenberg Gallery”) as it was consistent with the intimate, informal relationship he maintained with both our local Southwest Florida community and FSW.
