Silicon Valley Contemporary Announces Exhibitors
CINEMA Blow Up
Chicago, IL 60611
Andrea Raosis pleased to invite you to the following events
1966, 111 minutesin English
This 1966 masterpiece by Michelangelo Antonioni is set in the heady atmosphere of Swinging London, and stars David Hemmings as an unsmiling fashion photographer hooked on ephemeral meaning attached to anything: art, sex, work, relationships, drugs, events. When a real mystery falls into his lap, he probes the evidence for some reliable truth, but finds it hard to reckon with. Vanessa Redgrave plays an enigmatic woman whose desperation to cover something up only seems like one more phenomenon in Hemmings's disinterested purview. This is one of the key films of the decade, and still an unsettling and lasting experience.The immense success of this film, which contains scenes that were considered explicit at the time of its release in 1966, was the final catalyst that led to the creation of the Motion Picture Association of America film rating system still used today.Refreshments will be offered. A conversation will follow.To RSVP, please click here.

What would be the best way to teach -- and learn -- Italian in an increasingly connected society? What approaches can be used to reach students from fields outside languages and literature, who wish to study Italian as a way to complement their interests, be they economics, sociology, history of art, the travel sector and more?Mosaici is a textbook with accompanying DVD designed for learners of Italian at the intermediate level. It is organized into six units on topics ranging from tradition and globalization, youth employment, urban graffiti, the elderly, the environment, and the changing patterns of family. Each unit is introduced by a short film clip from a recent Italian movie, followed by activities that stimulate observation, reflection, and comprehension. Movie clips include Focaccia Blues, an independent film about a small bakery in southern Italy, and La ragazza del lago, featuring award-winning actor Toni Servillo.The authors will describe the motivations behind this innovative textbook, its main learning objectives, and the way vocabulary is presented in the context of contemporary issues in Italian life and society.Anna Clara Ionta, a native of Italy, has been teaching Italian in the United States since 1987. She holds a Laurea in Classical Studies from University of Rome "La Sapienza" and the DITALS Certification (Certificato in Didattica dell' Italiano a Stranieri) from the Università per Stranieri di Siena, Italy. She is lecturer at Loyola University Chicago.Anna Taraboletti Segre studied at Civica Scuola del Piccolo Teatro and Università degli Studi of Milan, Italy.

Italian Cultural InstituteA teenaged Neapolitan granita seller is forced to babysit a big-mouthed female peer for a Camorra boss in The Interval, the impressively subdued first fiction feature of Leonardo Di Costanzo (At School). Shot on sleek 16mm in an abandoned mental institution by Luca Bigazzi (The Great Beauty, This Must Be the Place), this film chronicles the push-pull dynamics of the adolescent protagonists, who both try to act older than their age in order to survive in their potentially violent reality.Refreshments will be offered.

Porter Contemporary presents Letters From Home
New York, NY. Porter Contemporary presents Letters From Home, a solo exhibition of new paintings by Jason Bryant opening with an artist reception on Thursday, April 10, 2014 from 6:30 - 8:30 PM.
Letters from Home (2013), oil on canvas, 60" x 50" With the gallery walls pitch black, Letters from Home reflects Jason Bryant's vision of war through beautiful hyper-realistic black and white oil paintings of classic film imagery merged with iconic visceral skateboard graphics. These paintings capture a range of emotions by literally having the bold colorful painted graphics battle with the lavish classic film imagery on the canvas. The bright, explosive graphics wage war on the canvas with paintings of iconic images from such well-known films as "Suzy", "The Young Ones", and "Flesh and the Devil". Each painting becomes a metaphor for how vastly different pop cultures--film and skateboarding--work together creating these harmonious images that simultaneously show beauty, hope, loss, love, survival and hate ultimately creating a magnification of these emotions. The paintings in this exhibition use the lens of Hollywood and skateboarding culture as a foundation to explore our ideas of hope, longing, loss and how war magnifies these emotions and
Letters From Home will be on view at Porter Contemporary April 10 through Saturday, May 24, 2014. An evening with Jason Bryant for an artist talk will be announced soon.Listing InformationWhat: Letters From Home-New Paintings by Jason BryantExhibition Dates: April 10 - May 24, 2014Press Preview: Thursday, April 10, 4:30 - 6:30 pm or by appointment Wednesday, April 9Opening Reception with the Artist: Thursday, April 10, 6:30 - 8:30 pmWhere: Porter / Contemporary, 548 W. 28th Street, 3rd Floor, NYCGallery Hours: Tues & Wed by appointment; Thurs 11 - 8 PM; Fri & Sat 11 - 6 PMGeneral inquiries: info@portercontemporary.comPress Inquires: media@portercontemporary.com
