Beach Life Is The Sweet Life Curators' Quote

“ ‘Smell the sea and feel the sky.  Let your soul and spirit fly.’  A little poetry from Van Morrison seems an idyllic way to capture the essence of beach life which is basically a state of mind.  But Einstein also loved the beach.  He was an avid, albeit mediocre sailor and even though he couldn’t swim, not even the doggie paddle, he refused to wear a life preserver.  He would sail his dinghy “Tinef” - Yiddish for junk - into storms, often delighting in bringing unsuspecting scientists along for the harrowing ride.  He had to be rescued many times.  Can you imagine dragging the creator of the theory of relativity and his waterlogged, gobsmacked buddies to shore?  Now that’s a story well received at a buffet on the beach or anywhere else for years.  But Einstein’s behavior comes as no surprise as there have been countless studies documenting the strong connection between risk taking and creativity.  Every acclaimed artist without a fall-back plan took a risk and our featured artist Nelson De La Nuez is no exception.   Through his ingenuity, humor and homage to different pop styles he has created an engaging library of art like no other.   In curating this exhibit we wanted to celebrate beach life which is essentially the heart of the Hamptons.   Not just in the literal interpretation of being on the beach, but as a way of existence.   Even, if for some, the sweet life is just for a few months.   “You know me darling, wine first…talk later.”  “Swimming back for cocktail hour on the yacht.”  “Oh Pool Boy.”   It’s amusing.  It’s irreverent.   It’s bitchy.   “Live a fuck yes life.”  Absolutely.  Why the hell not?                                                 (Andrea McCafferty & Kat O’Neill co-owners and directors)

Celebrate 50 Years at The Bronx Museum July 15, 2022

Main image - for newsletter banner
  

The Board of Trustees of The Bronx Museum of the Arts, Chairperson Joseph Mizzi, and Executive Director Klaudio Rodriguez cordially invite you to attend an opening reception for Medicina de Amor by Gerardo Dexter Ciprian.

Friday, July 15, 2022 
6:00 to 8:00 PM

The Bronx Museum of the Arts 
1040 Grand Concourse 
Bronx, NY 10456

Medicina de Amor is a solo exhibition of recent work by artist-in-residence Gerardo Dexter Ciprian. Working with archival material, hand-me-down objects, recollections from memory, and folklore, Ciprian conjures the ephemera that animate their migration passage and the Dominican diaspora more broadly.

At once personal and allegorical, the exhibition draws on a vast wealth of personal stories, riddles, and superstitions the artist has archived over the years as well as objects and images with special significance in the Dominican imaginary. Jabon de cuaba, an iconic soap used for everything from washing your body to cleaning dishes, is reconstituted into bricks from the artist’s Bronx family home; hand-me-down furniture passed down from the artist’s grandparents is transformed into lamps that seem to power themselves—a reference to the power outages prevalent in the Caribbean nation. The works are never circumscribed to any one time and place, and often play on a tension between opacity and legibility—a proxy for the indeterminacy of the shifting ground beneath migration and the inevitable fading of intergenerational memory.

Medicina de Amor has been organized by the Bronx Museum’s Education Department, and is made possible by the generous support of Martin Weinstein and Tereza Liszka, Debbie Rechtler, Cher Lewis, Friends of AIM, SRI Fine Art Services, the Jerome Foundation, Pollock-Krasner Foundation, and the Miranda Family Fund. Additional support of the AIM artist residency is provided by The Andrew W.

OUR OPENING NIGHT LINEUP

With Catherine Deneuve (Indochine), Benoît Magimel, Gabriel A. Sara and Cécile de France (Fanny’s Journey).

Written by Emmanuelle Bercot and Marcia Romano.
Directed by Emmanuelle Bercot.
France - 122 min
 
Over the course of a year, Benjamin, an acting teacher with a terminal illness, attempts to make peace with his imminent death, while his fearful and controlling mother (played by a wonderful Catherine Deneuve) learns that she can no longer micro-manage the time he has left. The beating heart of this film comes from Gabriel Sara – a cancer specialist from Mount Sinai Hospital in Manhattan in real-life – who portrays Benjamin’s very humane specialist Dr. Eddé. As Dr. Eddé, Sara, who also served as a consultant on the film, becomes a sort of spiritual guide to the dying and their families, as well as to his own heroic medical team. You will not want to miss this poignant, life-affirming drama about acceptance and resilience, from acclaimed actress and director Emmanuelle Bercot (Polisse) and the producers of the Deneuve masterpiece La Belle Epoque. In French, with subtitles. Produced by François Kraus and Denis Pineau-Valencienne. Edited by Julien Leloup. Director of Photography: Yves Cape. A Les Films du Kiosque Production from Distrib Films US.
