 They surge from pedestals and jut from walls They are fashioned from such varied materials as bone, bronze, matchsticks, twine, postcards, and neon green plastic, and they bear fascinating names like “Elephant-Toed Alien,” “Ring of Au,” and “Dawn for a Discarded Drape” And they are small—no more than a foot wide, a foot tall or a foot deep They are the finalists in Maud Morgan Arts’ 3D Small Works Salon 2013, an exhibit juried by artist Annette Lemieux, Senior Lecturer on Visual and Environmental Studies at Harvard University, and they are drawing viewers into their orbits at the Chandler Gallery From a distance, the works appear straightforward, but when the viewer leans in closer, each piece swells with complexity In Jeanette O’Connor’s “Wholly,” an unstitched softball cover hides a baseball Kay Dolezal’s work entitled “Bubble Wrap—Unpopped,” appears to be just that until the viewer discovers the entire piece is constructed from tiny translucent beads What looks like gravestones on a grassy hill in Willow Ross’s “Exit 3,” become, as the viewer approaches, three miniature portable lavatories on a dirt cupcake As the sole juror, Lemieux undertook her task with a great sense of responsibility “After decades of being an artist and a teacher, I know not to walk into a situation with an agenda, whether it be aesthetic or theoretical…it is also important for me to serve when I can for the community of local artists” She even went back after a few days for a second look at the entries to reassess her choices with “a fresh eye” In the end, she picked the 27 finalists because each piece is “informed with rigor, invention, craft, art history, and personal history” She is also a fan of what she calls, “the good ‘why not?’” Says Lemieux, “I am always interested in discovering works that are not routinely out there in the public eye…you know, the unusual suspects” This exhibition offers plenty of those The Maud Morgan Arts 3D Small Works Salon is on display at the Chandler Gallery from March 21 through May 24, with an opening reception on Sunday, April 7, from 3-5pm The following artists will have pieces included in the show: Violet Byrd, Ruth Daniels, Deborah Dendler, Kay Dolezal, Gary Duehr, Kara Fall, Carol Greenwood, Peter DeCamp Haines, Karine Kadiyska, Mahmood Rezaei-Kamalabad, Kathleen Kneeland, Saberah Malik, Jeanette O'Connor, Dan Rocha, Willow Ross, Jessica Straus, Stephanie Stigliano, Suzanne Stumpf, and Ariel Wolff Maud Morgan Arts (MMA) is a program under the umbrella of the Agassiz Baldwin Community, a private, non-profit organization with a forty-year history of quality programs and services in the Cambridge community MMA comprises a full arts program of classes and workshops for all ages, the Chandler Gallery, and a collection of original art by noted artist and community resident Maud Morgan (1903-1999) The agency works to reflect the diversity and talents of the community, bringing people together to make art, share art, and support visual arts education]]>

  Astronaut: Paintings by Scott Listfield April 3 – May 26, reception April 11 6-8 pm Viewing earth from space affects Astronauts They can no longer walk amongst us without the impression of that exquisitely alienating perspective  Astronaut is a symbol of science past, present and future Astronaut is all three of Dickens’ omniscients: watching, scolding, nurturing He is simultaneously our innocent past, current co-conspirator, and future juror Scott Listfield’s art uses this perspective to probe our everyday life Listfield lures us into a pop-art world of bright color and iconic imagery, where we remain arrested by the portent commentary  In this provocative exhibit of small and medium sized oil paintings, Listfield juxtaposes serene daily settings with humanity’s technology and offenses His vignettes of modern society and post-apocalypse serve as entry points into thoughtful sociological observation These vignettes reveal our quotidian from the perspective of an ideal outsider/insider: the anonymous astronaut Scott Listfield approaches the astronaut’s suit the way Greek sculptors approached the robe of Nike, with its deep wet folds, and Ter Borch, creating luminosity in his lady’s skirts Listfield’s intimate knowledge and insight into the suit itself progress it from simple symbol to painstakingly rendered garb This supports his great themes of humor and the deep dark lightness of the abyss This exhibit reminds us that even when treading familiar ground, we never experience the same moment twice And the viewer is left wondering “What would Astronaut do?” Astronaut: Paintings by Scott Listfield will be on view April 3 through May 26th, 2013, with an opening reception on Thursday, April 11 from 6-8 pm Wine and sparkling water will be served About the artist: Scott Listfield was born in 1976 in Boston, MA After studying at Dartmouth College and abroad he returned to paint in Boston Scott has garnered increased national attention through exhibits and media features in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Miami, Portland, OR and Austin, TX He was the official artist of Boston’s 2011 First Night button Scott lives in Somerville with his wife, a nurse, and his miniature poodle, Brody About the gallery: Based in historic Concord, MA, Albright Art is a gallery of contemporary art exhibiting artists whose comment on modern culture is presented with aesthetics and skill The gallery is dedicated to discovering provocative new talent and celebrating emerging visionaries of the art world]]>

Start Time(s):

Richard Linklater's Dazed and Confused is the ultimate "school's out" film It perfectly captures the high school changing-of-the-guard that occurs during the summer months, examining both the timidity of the incoming freshman, and the party-all-night attitudes of the newly crowned seniors There are rites of passage for everyone in this summer classic: the freshman boys are tracked down and physically punished with cricket bats; the girls are exposed to verbal abuse and soaking by condiments, both by the departing senior class, while they have their own transition to deal with Some begin to exit the haze of their youth leading down the primrose path of higher education, while others are content to stay focused on the "higher" part of that destination A stoner version of American Graffiti, Linklater (Slacker, Before Sunrise) has us ride shotgun for the final day and night in the lives of this motley crew  ]]>

Exclusive Area Premiere!  One Week Only, May 24–30 One of the most highly anticipated films of the year, from the directors of Sweetgrass and Foreign Parts, LEVIATHAN is a thrilling, immersive documentary that takes you deep inside the dangerous world of commercial fishing Set aboard a hulking fishing vessel as it navigates the treacherous waves off the New England coast — the very waters that once inspired Moby Dick — the film captures the harsh, unforgiving world of the fishermen in starkly haunting, yet beautiful detail Employing an arsenal of cameras that pass freely from film crew to ship crew, and swoop from below sea level to astonishing bird’s-eye views, LEVIATHAN is unlike anything you have ever seen; a purely visceral, cinematic experience (2012) dir Lucien Castaing-Taylor, Verena Paravel 87 min Watch the Trailer   “Majestically complex” —Chris Chang, Film Comment “A watery knockout LEVIATHAN explodes the antiquated paradigm of the documentary or ethnographic film” —Melissa Anderson, Village Voice “Visceral and intense Captures a world in a way no one has before” —Steve Dollar, Wall Street Journal “A nonfiction game-changer a staggering thrill-ride of an experience” —Robert Greene, filmmaker magazine “Visually ravishing LEVIATHAN is in every way sensational” —J Hoberman, Artinfo “Mindblowing Some of the most astonishing footage ever captured” —Mike d’Angelo, LA Weekly]]>

7:00pm: Gum for My Boat (Bangladesh) 34 min 7:40pm: Splinters (Papua New Guinea) 90 min 9:15pm: God went Surfing with the Devil (Israel & Palestine) 84 min About “Gum for My Boat” An alluring documentary that touches on the redemptive power of surfing in Bangladesh This short feature tells the story of how a group of more than 30 boys and girls, many of whom are poverty-stricken street kids, are making a difference in their community and how the surf club they started is the catalyst for this change Due to a fearful, conservative culture, the ocean was once deemed off limits to these children, who now see surfing as a source of fun, escape, and even a way to make a living The film follows professional surfer Kahana Kalama (A guest on Fuel TVs series On Safari) as he works with Hawaii-based nonprofit Surfing The Nations and learns that sometimes surfing involves more than catching waves About “Splinters” Splinters, praised by ESPN for “reviving the surf film genre”, combines great on-wave action with high drama Restricted by gender, culture and limited jobs, a unique group of athletes contests for a national championship as a ticket off the paradise of Papua New Guinea A standout on the festival circuit since its Tribeca premiere, Filmmaker Magazine has called Splinters “engrossing and endlessly surprising” About “God went Surfing with the Devil” Since the year 2000, over 4,300 Palestinian and 1,000 Israeli lives have been claimed by the escalating conflict in the region The situation grew markedly worse in 2006, when Israel responded to the election of Hamas by sealing off the borders, ending the free-flow of people and goods Palestinian militants reacted to the siege by targeting Israel’s civilian population with deadly rocket strikes; the Israeli Army countered with air strikes, targeting militants but often claiming the lives of innocent residents In 2007 it emerged that a small group of young men were surfing in Gaza, sharing battered surfboards they had attained prior to the siege Word traveled north to Israel, and that same year, a mixed group of Israelis and Americans delivered a dozen boards to their Palestinian counterparts In the spring of 2008, they would attempt to deliver another 23 surfboards into Gaza By this time the situation in Gaza had deteriorated further, the border still sealed, with military activity a near daily occurrence “God Went Surfing With the Devil” charts the difficulties and dangers encountered by surfers in the region Along the way it speaks to Israelis, Arab-Israelis, and Palestinians affected by the violence, charting their daily struggle to supersede the conflict through the joys of surfing  ]]>

Featurning Tsunami of Sound, The Derangers, and Matt Heaton LIVE plus USA Premiere of Acclaimed Australian Surf Documentary “Immersion” 7:00: Matt Heaton Live 7:45: Tsunami of Sound Live 8:30: East Coast Film Premiere: “Immersion” (Australia) 108 min 10:30: Derangers Live About “Immersion” Over the past seven years, surfing enthusiast and filmmaker Tim Bonython has spent every available moment doing what he loves – conducting interviews and filming images of breath-taking wave riding from all corners of the globe to create a 13-part series on his beloved sport of surfing This series has now been re-created into a two-part live theatrical show called IMMERSION IMMERSION looks at every aspect of surfing – from its early history, the evolution of surfboards, the science of surfing, the grown of the sport and development of competition, to how surfing is portrayed in the media, the action and still cameramen, film editors to the business of surfing and the counter culture that has grown worldwide Immersion takes you to some of the world’s most isolated, notorious and picturesque surfing locations IMMERSION is not just big waves and boards as the film covers all aspects of the sport – from body surfing and body boarding, surf ski, long board and even the new stand up paddle boarding About Matt Heaton Matt Heaton will play unaccompanied surf guitar instrumentals, drawing inspiration from classic axe slingers like Dick Dale and Link Wray as well as spy, science fiction and spaghetti western movies, often in the same tunes Matt Heaton & the Electric Heaters Site About Tsunami of Sound TSUNAMI OF SOUND plays Huge surf-inspired instrumentals that will make your head shake and your feet move The music we create is inspired by the Ventures, Los Straitjackets, Link Wray, the Fathoms, Laika and the Cosmonauts and all instrumental music Tsunami of Sound Site About The Derangers DON’T FEAR THE REVERB! One hot Saturday afternoon in 1988, blues guitarist Drew Townson, then freshly relocated from Dallas to Boston, was laying on the couch nursing a hangover He was watching an old cowboy movie called “The Good, The Bad and The Ugly” The music in the Italian Western caught Drew’s attention, big time He jumped off the couch, grabbed his Stratocaster, and began playing in a whole new way That moment changed Drew’s musical direction forever By 1989 he had started a band called the Derangers (pronounced “De-Rangers”), dedicated to playing spooky instrumental themes, encompassing Spaghetti Western, Surf, Spy-Jazz and more The first original recording by The Derangers was a filmic western called “Rio Sangre,” which was internationally hailed as a standout track By the early 90’s film directors like David Lynch and Quentin Tarantino were also exploring this haunted, reverberant sound in their movies Drew had always been a fan of original Surf-guitar kings like Dick Dale and The Ventures, so it was only natural to combine all these influences in to the Derangers’ “WesterMental” sound With Drew’s Strat a-blazin’ the trio gigged, toured and recorded from 1990 to 2000, Now, after a decade of dormancy, those bad bandidos are BACK!]]>

Start Time(s):

The Beacon Hill area is one of Boston's most beautiful and intriguing neighborhoods And, on only one day each year, the public is invited to visit the gardens, alleyways and courtyards that dot the neighborhood To make these naturally beautiful areas even more enticing, Beacon Hill residents invite visual artists to display their art work in these remarkable and unexpected locations This very special day is called the Beacon Hill Art Walk and this year it will be held, rain or shine, from Noon until 6pm on Sunday, June 2nd One of the participating artists, Teri MacMillan, probably expresses best what the event means to both artists and guests: " The Beacon Hill Art Walk has great atmosphere, great energy, and a great location It is really our favorite show of the year, both to participate and to shop!" All of the work at the Beacon Hill Art Walk is uniquely one of a kind and ranges from an astounding array of two-dimensional work including painting, photography and mixed media to sculpture and ceramics Beyond visual art, music also plays an important part in the Art Walk Visitors' walks are set to a musical sound track provided by dozens of talented musicians, including string quarters, folk and fiddle groups and Native American Flutes, all who donate their time Until you experience the Beacon Hill Art Walk for yourself it is hard to grasp just how magical the experience is Connie Bacon, another artist who has participated for many years, says: "I love many things about the Art Walk Being able to show my work outside on a beautiful day, tucked into the Beacon Hill gardens, is always a treat Meeting neighbors, friends, and people visiting from around the world is fun I especially love listening to what the kids say about my work They are so honest and you don't usually see them in other art venues" Maps (both a sunny day and rainy day version are prepared) will be available at two locations — one table will be located between 135 and 137 Charles Street and one will be at the corner of Cambridge and West Cedar streets Walkers will follow a self-directed route up and down Revere and Phillips streets and the walkways that extend from those streets The Beacon Hill Art Walk is free and open to the public While most of the artist locations are handicapped and stroller accessible, the route does go up and down the North Slope of Beacon Hill, which is fairly steep There are a limited number of metered parking spaces along Charles Street and Cambridge Streets The closest public parking garage is the Boston Common Garage For complete information on participating artists, directions to the site, and event map, visit wwwbeaconhillartwalkorg  ]]>

Jury’s tense, painterly videos give visual form to the notion of suspended trauma, in particular the fraught relationship between human beings and our environment Her videos meld staged, fragmented performances with eerily familiar yet unrecognizable places These impossible scenes, slow and entrancing, hover outside a specific time, location or even artistic genre while feeling utterly contemporary Jury’s work will be projected onto sculptural forms, walls, and windows, with some work intervening on Brandeis’ public spaces]]>

 A startling juxtaposition of ideas: sometimes that’s all it takes to kick-start creativity How much easier it is to pick up a pencil when a teacher, instead of saying, “draw something,” offers the prompt: “draw a peanut butter sandwich resting on the ocean floor” At Maud Morgan Arts, an epicenter of creativity unto itself, the spring session features classes that provide more than prompts; these courses stretch the imagination across multiple mediums to send students galumphing down new avenues of artistic expression in the belief that all students can surprise themselves with their own art During the April vacation workshop for 3rd-9th graders, "Print Your Fabric/Sew Your Project," Boriana Kantcheva and Mary Kenny teach students how to print their own patterns onto fabric using screen-printing inks Then students use the fabric to sew a pillow, an apron, a skirt, a tunic, a handbag, a set of curtains or anything else they can imagine In “Four Seasons/Two Masters: Spring,” a weekend workshop for adults, Pauline Runkel begins with techniques for arranging a floral display magnificent enough to paint, and then Jane Goldman guides students as they capture their bouquets in watercolor This two-day workshop is one in a series of four workshops, each highlighting the natural wonders of a different season Finally, to keep the mix lively, Maud Morgan Arts welcomes new faculty member Roz Sommer, one of the 2nd place winners of Maud Morgan Arts’ 2012 2D Small Works Salon whose paintings were featured in a recent show at the Chandler Gallery, to teach two painting classes that delve dramatically into their respective mediums “Investigative Painting,” for children in grades 3-5, will introduce young artists to color mixing, pattern, texture, and composition through tempera paint, seeking inspiration from famous artists and diverse cultures “Painting: Line, Plane, Color,” will give middle-school students a solid foundation in acrylic painting, including lessons on observation, using a viewfinder to frame a composition, and various application techniques to get the most out of this unique medium Spring session classes run for eight weeks from April 8 through June 10 April vacation week classes run for four days from April 16-19 Preschool open studio and adult life-drawing classes are ongoing Check wwwmaudmorganartsorg for specific dates for weekend adult workshops Maud Morgan Arts (MMA) is a program under the umbrella of the Agassiz Baldwin Community, a private, non-profit organization with a forty-year history of quality programs and services in the Cambridge community MMA comprises a full arts program of classes and workshops for all ages, the Chandler Gallery, and a collection of original art by noted artist and community resident Maud Morgan (1903-1999) The agency works to reflect the diversity and talents of the community, bringing people together to make art, share art, and support visual arts education]]>

Exclusive Area Premiere June 14–16! You’ve just arrived home after a bad day You’re broke and lonely, even though you live in the biggest and busiest city in America You do, however, have one cause for mild optimism: you seem to have captured the attention of an intriguing young lady You’ve rushed home to clean your apartment before she comes over In your haste, you see that you’ve missed a call There’s a voice mail; she tells you that she won’t be seeing you tonight With arresting insight, vulnerability, and a delightful sense of humor, Terence Nance’s explosively creative debut feature, AN OVERSIMPLIFICATION OF HER BEAUTY, documents the relationship between Terence and a lovely young woman (Minter) as it teeters on the divide between platonic and romantic Utilizing a tapestry of live action and various styles of animation, Nance explores the fantasies, emotions, and memories that race through his mind during a singular moment in time (2012) dir Terence Nance w/Nance, Namik Minter 93 min Digital Presentation “A dense, organic, dazzling and funny tapestry … Nance turns his thought into a performance of vulnerability that’s all too relatable in its indulgences It has heart without becoming cloying … A definitive mixtape that memorializes, and not so sneakily celebrates, the sweet angst of a certain kind of romantic limbo” – The New York Times Watch the Trailer]]>

Start Time(s):

Called the greatest rock film ever made, this landmark documentary follows the Rolling Stones on their notorious 1969 US tour In retrospect, having three hundred thousand Love Children descend on San Francisco's Altamont Speedway for a free concert by the Rolling Stones was probably not the best idea Combine that with security being handled by none other than the local chapter of the Hells Angels, and you have the setting of one of the most ill thought out decisions in entertainment history In the span it took for the Rolling Stones to sing "Sympathy for the Devil", the youth of an entire generation lost its innocence With the cameras of Direct Cinema pioneers David and Albert Maysles and Charlotte Zwerin having been given unprecedented all-access to the Stones, we not only have the immortalized moments on film of the clash between two opposing members of these outsider groups, but also the haunted words of Mick Jagger that ultimately shattered the illusion of Rock and Roll as the greatest ride of all time  ]]>

We want to dedicate this week to cultivating the art of being present in a journey through the specific world of Provincetown’s dunes, forest and beaches, bringing together the arts of writing and drawing in response to the natural world You do not need to know how to draw and you don’t need to be an experienced poet to come along on this journey -- you only need to want to walk through the forest, the sand and maybe a little bit of water, and be receptive to new possibilities We’ll write in relation to what we hear, touch, smell, taste and see using the building blocks of metaphor, sound and imagery Poetry will be the foundation of our writing and reading, but all genres are deepened by close attention to world and word We’ll learn drawing techniques adapted to outdoor field settings (such as blind contour and gesture drawings, drawing with ink and brush, and watercolor wash drawing) rooted in observation and learn field-based drawing techniques, keeping a journal for sketches and writing Both Mark and Elizabeth are naturalists as well as artists and, as residents of the Cape's tip, bring deep knowledge and love of this place]]>

Start Time(s):

Internationally acclaimed photographer Ernesto Bazan will lead this special two-day workshop on building and editing a cohesive photography portfolio The portfolio is the centerpiece of any photographer’s repertoire Every serious photographer must have a defined, well-produced body of work in order to be considered for publication or exhibition In this class, you’ll gain invaluable perspective on the editing process as you work to refine your own portfolio Editing can often be the photographer’s Achilles heel The challenges abound: sometimes strong images must be culled to clarify the overall intent of a body of work; weak and repetitive images must be removed so they don’t dilute the effect of stronger images; and above all, the photographer’s vision must be highly developed This workshop is an opportunity to focus intensively on these issues with one of the leading photographers of our day Ernesto will look at each student’s best images and any projects in-process The emphasis will be on building a body of work—a portfolio of images that defines you as a photographer Ernesto will show examples of successful and unsuccessful editing, and discuss how to distill each photographer’s vision into the strongest portfolio possible This class is for intermediate to advanced photographers with portfolios already in progress]]>

New DCP Restoration!  Area Premiere June 21–23! Among the most influential films of the postwar era, Roberto Rossellini’s JOURNEY TO ITALY charts the declining marriage of a British couple (Bergman and Sanders) on a trip in the countryside near Naples More than just an anatomy of a relationship, Rossellini’s masterpiece is a heartrending work of emotional transcendence and profound spirituality Hailed as a groundbreaking work of modernism by the critics of Cahiers du Cinéma and named by Martin Scorsese as one of his favorite films, JOURNEY TO ITALY is a breathtaking cinematic landmark We’re thrilled to launch our first major slate of repertory programming on our new DCP projection system with this long-unavailable international classic A favorite of Brattle audiences in years past (it was a flagship film in frequent Italian cinema series), JOURNEY TO ITALY gradually fell victim to poorly maintained prints until it was simply no longer available for regular screenings This will be the first time we have featured it in almost 15 years, and it screens in a gorgeous new restoration of the essential English-language version of the film by Janus Films (1954) dir Roberto Rossellini w/Ingrid Bergman, George Sanders 97 min Digital Presentation Watch the Trailer]]>

Step into the Chandler Gallery, and you will see the future Not only is “The Future” the theme of the current show, but the exhibition is curated entirely by elementary school students from Agassiz Baldwin Community’s afterschool program—children who represent the world’s future artists, curators and gallery-owners This project-based learning activity is a unique opportunity for children to experience the gallery process “Children know that they can take their artwork home and show it to their parents,” says Early Education Site Director Kim Baldasaro “But they learn that they could also share their artwork with other people in a gallery” Children plan the exhibition from start to finish: they choose a theme, they work in teams to collaborate on 2D and 3D pieces, and they install the show in the gallery Agassiz Baldwin Afterschool also invites students from other afterschool programs to create artwork for the exhibition Baldasaro’s favorite part of the process is watching the projects evolve as the children brainstorm one idea, begin to develop it, and then change their minds and take the artwork in a new direction During the two-month assignment, students also gain experience executing a long-term project They learn how to plan ahead, gather supplies, and work together to accomplish a task In the end, they take great pride in their work and the work of their collaborators Baldasaro loves to see “how happy kids are when they bring their parents to the show They point to their project and say ‘That’s mine!’” “The Kid-Curated Art Show: The Future” is at the Chandler Gallery at 20 Sacramento Street in Cambridge from May 30-June 28 The opening reception will be held at 5:45 pm on June 12 Agassiz Baldwin Community is a private, non-profit organization with a forty-year history of quality programs and services in the Cambridge community]]>

(a word of Yoruba origin meaning cool or great) highlights the African religious traditions and folklore that are so entrenched in Cuban society Chévere will feature acrylic on canvas and paper, as well as assemblages of found objects, mosaics and mix media artworks The artist reception on May 16th from 6:30-8:30pm will coincide with Cambridge Open Studios weekend  The influence of African ancestry in Cuba is of upmost importance in understanding Cuban cultural codes Music, literature, and visual arts have benefited from the reinterpretation of African iconography, where the syncretization of cultures, religions and beliefs is a fundamental element This theme has been explored in and out of Cuba for many years, and it continues to be of significant importance for creative individuals in the arts Each artist brings a unique interpretation of the theme to the exhibition in accordance with his or her artistic style and medium Addressing such themes as faith, magic, and myth, Clara Morera’s work gives visual form to the intangible mystery of African and Christian religions, as well as Eastern mysticism In this exhibition, Morera depicts Orishas (gods of the Santeria religion) as queens, interpreting them through the Spanish tarot cards She will also showcase an Elegguá (the Orisha who opens pathways) a mixed media work of great importance Morera is a well-established artist, recognized in Cuba and internationally for her interpretation of different belief systems and icons, such as the hand, chalice, eye, heart, crosses, and candles She trained at the famed Academy of San Alejandro in Havana and has lived in the New York Metropolitan area since the early 1990’s Jesus (Cepp) Selgas—who immigrated to New York in the 1980’s—also focuses his current artworks on the Orishas as a celebration of Afro-Cuban culture His mixed-media acrylic paintings on assembled canvases represent Yemayá (Orisha of the Sea), Ochún (the seductress and Orisha of Love), Shangó (the warrior and most powerful Orisha), Ossaín (the Orisha of nature), and Oggún (the Orisha of war and metal) Marked by repetition and fragmentation, Selgas’s compositions incorporate symbols—moons, stars, eyes, palm trees, ribbons, necklaces—that call upon the rich vocabulary of objects connected to specific Orishas and to the Santería practice in general His bold interpretations of the Orishas are representative of their power and significance in Cuban culture Jorge Valdés offers us his works of beautiful wall sculptures and assemblages of found objects A self-taught artist who immigrated to the US in the ‘90’s, Valdes is showcasing icons that are representative of the syncretization phenomenon so prevalent in Cuban culture and religion, such as angels, roosters, fish, doves, Orishas, crosses, and saints On display will also be Valdes’ rendition of Yemaya, a powerful and detailed assemblage honoring the Orisha of the Sea, who is syncretized with the Virgen of Regla in Catholicism Experimenting with color and design, Bernardo Navarro brings us contemporary interpretations of African ancestry His current paintings take on the subject of African iconography in masks and sculptures Working primarily with acrylic on canvas and pencil sketches, his artwork depicts the theme in an abstract manner His strong images and clean lines are indicative of his artistic style Navarro—also self-taught—immigrated to the USA in 2004 and has recently been chosen to partake in New York’s El Museo del Barrio 2013 Biennial With the participation of these four talented artists, Chévere strives to provide both conceptual and concrete interpretations of the impact that African ancestry and culture has had on contemporary Cuban art and culture]]>

By 1968 Stanley Kubrick had already tackled a slew of powerful topics including three anti-war films (Fear and Desire, Paths of Glory, Dr Strangelove), a perfect noir thriller (The Killing), one of the most notorious and "unfilmable" novels of the 20th century (Lolita), and a Hollywood epic (Spartacus) Where else but the unknown was he to venture? Adapting Arther C Clarke's science fiction short story "The Sentinel", Kubrick expanded the scope of the work from a brief inquiry into the existence of life in the universe to a meditation about the development and advancement of intelligence Beginning with the moment when apes begin cognitive thought and jumping to early lunar exploration, continuing with a manned journey to Jupiter and the development and understanding of non-linear time, 2001: A Space Odyssey tackles some of the most essential topics of humanity and nature With unparalleled special effects, 2001 is a film that needs to be seen on the big screen in all its glory  ]]>

Start Time(s):

In under three minutes Martin Scorsese revolutionized cinema The opening credits of Mean Streets has perhaps had more of a lasting effect on the use of music and narrative in popular film than any other three minutes in the history of the medium Arising out of a New York film scene steeped in outré concepts, Scorsese was able to sculpt these elements into a cannon shot that would last for generations The story is a simple one: Charlie (Harvey Keitel) is a debt collector for his uncle in the Italian mafia He feels responsible for his best friend Johnny Boy (Robert De Niro), who is stuck in neutral, owing money to loan sharks all over town Having to choose between a childhood allegiance and his family is an impossible decision, but ultimately there's not much that he can do to save Johnny Boy]]>

Start Time(s):

Barry McGee began exhibiting his art in the late 1980s, not in a museum or gallery, but on his home streets of San Francisco At that time the city was reeling from a lackluster economy and the scourge of the AIDS crisis, and citizens often took to the streets in protest and to raise awareness of societal woes Inspired by this activism and the more politicized forms of protest graffiti and signage perpetrated by politically minded groups, as well as a tight-knit community of fellow taggers and the burgeoning hardcore music scene in San Francisco McGee developed as a graffiti artist, often under the tag name “Twist” Deploying a visual vocabulary that borrows elements from graffiti, comics, hobo art, sign painting, and other sources, McGee’s imagery simultaneously celebrates and critiques his diverse Mission District neighborhood He has long viewed the city a vital site for art and activism, but his more recent work brings the urban condition into art spaces with installed environments that express the anarchic vitality of inner-city street life McGee’s gallery-based art explores the contradiction central to his daily life—reconciling graffiti with an artistic practice—but also addresses the question that the avant-garde has historically asked: How might art and life be reconciled? At once humorous, political, and difficult (especially for those who see private property as an inalienable right), his art underscores the complexities of life in early twenty-first-century America, a country in the midst of wars, a financial crisis, unemployment, class stratification, and the ever-cheerful exhortation to keep consuming Unwilling to simply reflect existing conditions, McGee’s work proposes an alternate reality of political provocation, cooperative survival, and creative exuberance]]>

“Early Spring: Henry Thoreau and Climate Change,” a ground-breaking exhibition at the Concord Museum from April 12 through September 15, 2013, explores three centuries of careful observation of seasonal natural phenomena in Concord, a pool of data on the relationship between climate and biology that is essentially without parallel in North America The exhibition also provides an extraordinary opportunity to examine the Concord Museum’s renowned Thoreau collection that includes the desk on which Thoreau wrote Walden, together with examples of his original field notes, journal recordings, seasonal charts, and botanical specimens This material has never before been exhibited together Henry Thoreau (1817-1862) is one of the most read, beloved, and influential of American authors He thought and wrote expansively about the natural world in a way that has, since his time, come to be called ecological For the last ten years of his life, he devoted a portion of every day to a large-scale project to gather and analyze data on the changing phenomena of the seasons He measured snow depth, watched for the day when the ice melted off Walden Pond, noted the arrival of songbirds in the spring, and above all, recorded the first flowering time for hundreds of plant species in Concord “I often visited a particular plant four or five miles distant, half a dozen times within a fortnight, that I might know exactly when it opened,” Thoreau wrote in his journal The exhibition draws upon the Concord Museum’s unparalleled Thoreau collection of 250 objects, preserved by the Museum for more than a century The collection includes the humble green desk at which Henry Thoreau wrote, his Walden bedstead, his snowshoes, spyglass, walking stick notched for measuring snow, and his copy of Wilson’s American Ornithology These icons of American literary and natural history will be exhibited together with rare historical material —Thoreau’s seasonal charts, field notes, and journal — on loan from The Morgan Library and Museum Additionally on view will be examples of Thoreau’s own herbarium specimens from the Harvard University Herbaria, and Thoreau’s flute book used for pressing plants, on loan from the Louisa May Alcott Memorial Association Thoreau’s choice of Concord as a subject was emulated by a continuum of naturalists, some amateur and some professional, in the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries The observations of these citizen scientists — carefully recorded over many years — now form an invaluable resource for scientists interested in the topic of climate change Dr Richard Primack, Professor of Biology at Boston University and Guest Scholar for the exhibition, has successfully used the data collected by Thoreau and later Concordians as comparatives to sets of data that he and his graduate students have been actively collecting in Concord since 2008 On view from April 12 through September 15, 2013, “Early Spring: Henry Thoreau and Climate Change” will be accompanied by a number of associated programs for families, students, teachers, and all those interested in the environmental challenges facing citizens today  On April 25, the opening speaker for the exhibition is Bill McKibben, environmental activist, author, and journalist ]]>

TV personality and auto expert Wayne Carini; noted restoration expert Kevin MacKay; Dr Carl Dietrich, aerospace engineer and CEO/CTO and co-founder of Terrafugia; Bill Porter, former General Motors designer and authority on twentieth century automobile design trends;

Nineteenth-century Japanese color printing’s highest level of accomplishment is seen in the small, exquisite works known as surimono, which were produced on commission for private, individual customers Because they were not sold to the general public, these prints were not limited either by government sumptuary laws intended to curb extravagance, or by economic prudence on the part of publishers They could be as elegantly designed and luxuriously printed as the patrons requested Privately commissioned prints were printed on high-quality paper and often included special features such as metallic pigments and embossing They were used as commemorations of events in the theatrical world and programs for musical concerts; but most often, they were exchanged as New Year gifts by the affluent members of amateur literary clubs vying to produce the most beautiful, ingenious works “Luxury on Paper” displays especially fine examples grouped by their subjects: the kabuki theater, literary and historical references, beautiful women, animals, and objects Originally created to delight the personal friends of the patrons who commissioned them, the works will surely have the same effect on MFA visitors]]>

It was a close call—maybe the closest call in human history For two weeks in October 1962, the world teetered on the edge of thermonuclear war and the end of civilization as we know it Earlier that fall, the Soviet Union, under orders from Premier Nikita Khrushchev, began to secretly deploy a nuclear strike force in Cuba, just 90 miles from the United States, with missiles that could reach most major US cities in less than five minutes President John F Kennedy said the missiles would not be tolerated, and insisted on their removal Khrushchev refused The stand-off nearly caused a nuclear exchange and is remembered in this country as the Cuban Missile Crisis For 13 days, the fate of the world hung in the balance For all his muscular, anti-communist rhetoric, the President’s response was remarkably restrained Under unimaginable pressure—as the Soviets raced to complete construction of the missile sites—the President refused to be rushed He conducted the negotiations with discipline and delicacy, balancing cold resolve with pragmatic statesmanship He would not accept the missiles, but neither would he force the hand of an impulsive opponent into a rash response And on October 28, 1962, with the world’s mightiest military forces bristling with anticipation, and events spinning out of control, Khrushchev suddenly relented The missile sites, he announced, would be dismantled immediately The peaceful resolution of the crisis is considered to be one of President Kennedy’s greatest achievements “To the Brink” is a look back at the crisis from the 50-year mark, which is drawn mainly from US sources and presents a US viewpoint Pieces of the story that appear hazy now may come into sharper focus over time; others that are now clear will blur as the episode recedes further into history Unbeknownst to almost all the participants, JFK recorded those White House meetings Excerpts from the 43 hours of secret recordings relating to the Cuban Missile Crisis are presented in the gallery and form the centerpiece of this exhibit Original documents, artifacts, and photographs from the National Archives and the Kennedy Library complement the tapes in a dramatic presentation that draws the visitor into this milestone 20th-century event "To The Brink" will be on display at the Kennedy Library until December 1, 2013]]>
