In response to Temple Contemporary's Advisory Council’s question, “What is Play?” Temple Contemporary has invited puzzle pro Mike Olenick to the Tyler School of Art and Architecture to do puzzles. 

In addition to being an avid Puzzler, Mike Olenick makes perverse films focused on photography, forbidden desire, reproduction, transformation and memories. His work has streamed on MUBI and as a Vimeo Staff Pick, played on Dutch TV, as well as won awards at the Slamdance Film Festival (Best Experimental Short), Chicago Underground Film Festival (Best Looking Film), Ann Arbor Film Festival and Big Muddy Film Festival. Recently, his films have screened at the Fantasia International Film Festival, Fantastic Fest and the Palm Springs International ShortFest.
