Material Culture and Archive: Cuba and the United States

LAST REMINDER!!! Dear friends, We hope to see you tonight, from 6 to 8:00pm, for the presentations: Material Culture and Archive: Cuba and the United States   by María Antonia Cabrera      &   Possible Destinies: Reflections on Cuban/American Video By: Meyken Barreto        These presentations are part of the related programming for the exhibition Cuban America: An Empire State of Mind,  on view through May 14th, 2014.  Other upcoming events are:   May 8, 2014 at 12:30pm Gallery Talk with artists María Elena González, Alexandre Arrechea and the curators from the exhibition.   In collaboration with the City and the Humanities Program     Gallery Talks:  April 10, 2014 at 12:30pm May 1, 2014 at 12:00 pm    Exhibition and events are always free and open to the public       Reception for Cuban America: An Empire State of Mind.  Artwork: Empire State, 2013, by Alexandre Arrechea.  Photo Courtesy of Geandy Pavón    Cuban America: An Empire State of Mind includes over 35 contemporary artists of Cuban descent, who have been raised in the States or in Cuba. In this groundbreaking exhibition, a myriad of themes are inspired by America: as the familiar homeland for second and third generation children of Cuban parents, or as the distant, imagined place that has historically empowered diverse ideologies on the Island. In a wide range of perspectives and styles, the United States can be both the backdrop, and the protagonist in diverse narratives.  These views, rarely put together, portray multiple landscapes of the concept of empire, so easily associated with both countries, while the works in this exhibition add to the construction of a fresh, as well as complex, image of America: a Cuban America.      The exhibition is co-curated by Yuneikys Villalonga and Susan Hoeltzel and includes a related Cuban video art program organized by guest curator Meykén Barreto. A series of special programs is conducted by guest curator Elvis Fuentes.     Artists in the show include Alejandro Aguilera, Jairo Alfonso, Alexandre Arrechea, Tania Bruguera, María Magdalena Campos, Yoán Capote, Los Carpinteros, Luis Cruz Azaceta, Christian Curiel, Alessandra Expósito, Teresita Fernández, Carlos Garaicoa, Anthony Goicolea, María Elena González, Armando Guiller, Luis Mallo, María Martínez Cañas, Abelardo Morell, Gean Moreno & Ernesto Oroza, Glexis Novoa, Geandy Pavón, Emilio Pérez, Javier Piñón, Carlos Rodríguez Cárdenas, Andrés Serrano, & Katarina Wong. Video program: Juan Carlos Alom, Allora and Calzadilla, Humberto Díaz, Felipe Dulzaides, Luis Gárciga, Tony Labat, Glenda León, and Ana Olema.    This exhibition is made possible with support from Lily Auchincloss Foundation, Inc.;  Jarvis and Constance Doctorow Family Foundation; The Reed Foundation; Alex and Carole Rosenberg; New York City Department of Cultural Affairs; and New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature    Special Thanks to Cabot Creamery and Havana Central Restaurant       Please help support the Lehman College Art Gallery   with a tax deductible donation!

“Transcendence” Opens at the Art League of Long Island May 18

“Transcendence” Opens at the Art League of Long Island May 18

 “Transcendence”, a unique exhibit featuring sculpture, installations and two-dimensional works, showcases the creative interpretations of nine diverse artists. The exhibit, showing in the spacious Jeanie Tengelsen Gallery runs from May 18 through June 21, with an opening reception on May 18 from 3:00pm to 5:00pm.

Curator Carole Jay notes that a musical note, paint and brush, a block of stone are some of the pathways available for artists to create art. What of more simple things? Creation can unfold within everyday occurrences. Viewed through the selective eye and thought, and in the right hands, the ordinary can become extraordinary. Through the ages artists have examined ways to incorporate human interaction and experience, fabricating a very personal art. We build monoliths of stone, excavate land, re-purpose wood and plants, always seeking alternatives to what was.

The artists in this exhibit of transcended objects were chosen for their ability to find and change materials into something different than from their original purpose..  Creative imagining can be both an educational and thought provoking experience.

For example, Dix Hills artist Lisa Berley employs photography to view the world not from a macro but to a micro viewpoint, combining painting, photography and computer imaging to deconstruct and reconstruct images into a new form.

Megan Biddle, of Pennsylvania, transforms glass marbles and steel wire into a swirling vortex of kinetic activity evoking the image of a tornado.

For Brooklyn artist Chris Coffin, a surfer, love of the ocean as his place of peace is his inspiration for works that reflect both acute awareness of the moment and surrender to that experience.

Elizabeth Duffy divides her time between Rhode Island, New Hampshire, and Brooklyn. As one who had moved 11 times by the age of 18, her quasi nomadic life influences her “Landless” series of map drawings that are combined with everyday objects, connecting home to faraway places.

            A resident of Stony Brook, Joseph Esser’s  “Kinesthetic 1.0”, is a kinetic and interactive installation conceived and built in 2012-13, designed with electronics and monofilaments that come alive as one nears the work, taking on the appearance of a volumetric waveform.

            New York artist Nicole Hixon’s “Division of its Parts” employs steel belted radial tires to provoke the viewer to further explore her chosen media and to see the object as something other than its original form.

                In “Red Carpet” and ”Stepping Out”, world-renowned yarn artist Carol Hummel uses thread, weavings, and sculpture to communicate the unraveling of one part of life and the formation of a new one.  Also, in June, Ms. Hummel, who comes from Ohio, will have her “Hand-Stitched Hamlet” installation on view at the start of the Oyster Bay Art Walk season in the downtown business district.

            In the spring of 2013, New York sculptor Michael Kukla started using masking tape, available everywhere is the world, as a solution to the problem of dealing with heavy sculptural material, such as wood and marble that is difficult to transport. Finding masking tape to be pliable and flexible, he creates honeycombed tapestries that undulate like clouds from the wall.

            Greenlawn artist Maureen Palmieri’s “Candlewall” is an installation expressing the merging and melting of candles used in different rituals, intermingling their original essence into a combined experience symbolizing life and its many rites of passage.

            The Art League of Long Island is a not-for-profit organization serving the community since 1955.  The Jeanie Tengelsen Gallery is open to the public free of charge Monday through Thursday 9am – 9pm, Friday 9am – 4pm and on weekends from 11am to 4pm.   The Art League center is located at 107 East Deer Park Road in Dix Hills.  For additional information call (631) 462-5400 or visit www.artleagueli.org.

Celia Evans set to screen latest release at Cannes Film Festival

Miami Based Film Producer, Celia Evans set to screen latest release at Cannes Film Festival. She discusses international film production and women in film.

Celia Evans, owner of Sea Star Films, Miami based film production expands her production portfolio with a full-length documentary about the largest wedding planner in the world.

Miami Beach, FL – Celia Evans is the industrious owner of Sea Star Films a full-service film and video production company based in Miami Beach. The company shoots in the U.S. and internationally, establishing itself in just over a decade as a culturally diverse and multilingual corporation that handles all media from conception to completion.

Celia started out as a writer, and worked in the music and finance industries after law school. She quickly realized that she was great at sales and sales are the basis for film and commercial projects. With Sea Star, Evans has always emphasized an international approach, with a goal to develop stimulating, aspirational media, that reaches a global audience. “I’ve been filming fashion weeks in Europe and New York for over a decade for international broadcast” says Evans “and I’ve seen the demand for all types of international content grow”.  

Her production career started with commercials, the first big break being the opportunity to become the go-to production company for Lamborghini, which immediately opened doors. The company then moved into TV show territory, launching a much-coveted style program called PlanetFashionTV, that went behind-the-scenes at fashion weeks, runway shows, and luxury events throughout the world.

Evans finds that Miami is the perfect place for her company. She served on the government appointed Film and Entertainment Advisory Board for Miami Dade County for 4 years. “I based my company in Miami because it is the new big media market.  It’s extremely diverse and international, and there is vibrancy here. There is a artistic revolution exploding in Miami, and at the same time it’s so much more financially accessible than NY or LA.”

Now, Sea Star is proliferating its portfolio with a full slate of compelling new releases including

The Ultimate Wedding Planner, Sea Star's first full-length documentary. It was directed and produced by Evans. It spotlights famed and unconventional Japanese weddings guru Yoshi Nojiri. It will be released at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. Nojiri was the youngest person in Japan to take a company public and the company was this one-stop shop for luxury wedding planning. His rapid rise to success speaks to the never-ending passion that people around the world have for the perfect wedding. Nojiri’s company now makes an incredible 22,000 weddings a year. The documentary profiles Nojiri and features he and his team working on American celebrity weddings.

Evans met a representative of Nojiri, while filming Milan Fashion Week a year ago, and thought the story of the largest wedding planner in the world was compelling so she took off to Japan, Hong Kong, Bali, and Hawaii following this Japanese wedding planning company.

 It was difficult because there were many times when no one spoke English and Evans being African American found herself in some remote places in Asia where very few African Americans have ever been. Says Evans “This film was interesting to me as a Black person and an American getting an up close and personal introduction into Asian culture. First there was the very real hierarchy between women and men. Also I think Asian people are fascinated by African Americans and automatically assume that we're trendy and cool. I thought that was great! “

She shot with fifteen different DSLR and Sony cameras and a film crew from around the world. The international film crew she used was from Asia, Latin America and America. “ It was a mini United Nations”. The film was shot in English and Japanese with English subtitles. Evans is excited about the role of women in film today.

 “It’s a great time for women and filmmaking” say Evans. “More doors are open than ever before.” All of the producers on the film were women.

Simon Starling: Metamorphology

Simon Starling: Metamorphology June 7 - November 2, 2014 This summer, the Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA) Chicago presents the first major museum survey in the United States of Turner-Prize winning British artist Simon Starling. Simon Starling: Metamorphology showcases the artist's work in film, installation, and photography and its interrogation of the histories of art and design, scientific discoveries, and global economic and environmental concerns.This exhibition is organized by Dieter Roelstraete, Manilow Senior Curator at the MCA, and is on view June 7 to November 2, 2014. A concurrent exhibition of Starling's work is on view June 5 to September 20, 2014 at the Arts Club of Chicago, organized by Executive Director Janine Mileaf. The title of the exhibition, Metamorphology, alludes to one of the fundamental principles of Starling's practice: the transformative potential of art, or transformation as art. These concepts also drive Starling's working method where he both repurposes existing materials for new, artistic aims and retells existing stories to produce new historical insights. The exhibition is organized along two intertwining tracks, and metamorphosis is essential to understanding both. The first trajectory concerns Starling's interest in art history, particularly the golden age of modernism. Starling based the shape and form of Project for a Masquerade (Hiroshima)(2010) in part on a quintessential Chicago story about the early days of nuclear energy development and the monument designed by British sculptor Henry Moore commemorating its discovery. The 12-foot-tall bronze sculpture is located on the University of Chicago campus at the site of the world's first nuclear reactor and firmly anchors the exhibition in the local context of Chicago. In a similar vein, the work Bird in Space (2004) is named after a famous sculpture by Constantin Brancusi that was first shown at the Arts Club of Chicago in the early 1920s. Starling's unorthodox reinvention of Brancusi's modernist masterpiece, which is known for its smooth surface reminiscent of light, is now a large, unhewn block of steel. Starling's presentation of the work links the MCA and the Arts Club. The second path explores the broader framework of geopolitical and socioeconomic concerns and their often-misconstrued relation to art historical narratives. These ideas are expressed in a series of works that demonstrate Starling's fascination with cycles of production, such as inAutoxylopyrocycloboros (2006). In this work, Starling reclaimed a wooden, steam-powered boat from the bottom of Lake Windermere, England. He took it on a four-hour journey on Loch Long in Scotland, where he dismantled the boat and fed it, piece by piece, into the very boiler that powered the boat. This eventually sank it, thus returning it to the bottom of the lake. The Long Ton (2009) connects and collapses geographically remote situations. Two unrefined pieces of white marble hang from either side of a rudimentary pulley system. A one metric ton (1,000 kilogram) stone imported from China is held in balance overhead by a 250-kilogram piece of Italian Carrara marble, a material known for its use in art for centuries. The two stones, which have the same shape but not the same size, appear similar at first, referencing the market value of the Chinese stone and the Italian marble one-quarter of its weight. Flaga (1972-2000) consists of a Fiat, an iconic Italian car first built in Turin before its production moved to Poland. Starling drove a Fiat 126 from Turin to Poland where he changed the red car's doors, hood, and trunk to white. On his return to Turin, the customized Fiat was hung on the wall like a painting, or more appropriately, a Polish flag. The exhibition also features one of Starling's recent film works, which takes into account the mechanics of the medium as well as its scientific prehistory. Functioning as 24-frame-per-second treatises in metamorphology, Starling's ventures into film embody the artist's attachment to the poetics of the loop. Simon Starling (b. 1967, Surrey, England) lives and works in Copenhagen, Denmark. He studied photography and art at Maidstone College of Art, Kent; Trent Polytechnic, Nottingham; and the Glasgow School of Art, Scotland. His artwork is in leading museum collections internationally, and his work has been the subject of solo exhibitions at numerous kunsthalles and museums throughout the world. His work has also been regularly featured in prominent biennials, including Venice and São Paulo. He was awarded the 2005 Turner Prize, nominated for his solo exhibitions at The Modern Institute, Glasgow, and the Fundació Joan Miró, Barcelona. CATALOGUE A catalogue, Simon Starling: Metamorphology, accompanies the exhibition, highlighting the fundamental principle of Starling's practice: an almost alchemistic conception of the transformative potential of art, or of transformation as art. The catalogue features essays by MCA Manilow Senior Curator Dieter Roelstraete; Arts Club of Chicago Executive Director Janine Mileaf in collaboration with Simon Starling; and Tate Modern Curator Mark Godfrey.   RELATED PROGRAMS MCA Talk: Simon Starling Saturday, June 7, 3 pm Free with museum admission Artist Simon Starling discusses his exhibition.

COLD IN JULY A FILM BY JIM MICKLE

Presents

COLD IN JULY

A FILM BY JIM MICKLE

STARRING MICHAEL C. HALL, SAM SHEPARD and DON JOHNSON

BASED ON THE BOOK BY JOE R. LANSDALE

**2014 SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL: World Premiere**

"The spirits of 1980s genre maestros like John Carpenter, Walter Hill and William Lustig hover strongly over Jim Mickle’s 'Cold in July,' a superior piece of Texas pulp fiction" - Scott Foundas, Variety

Opening Theatrically & On VOD MAY 23RD

PRESS SCREENING

Wednesday, April 9th

12:00PM

Magno Review 1

729 Seventh Ave, 2nd Floor

(Between 48th & 49th Streets)

Please RSVP to Nathaniel@Brigademarketing.com

How can a split-second decision change your life?  While investigating noises in his house one balmy Texas night in 1989, Richard Dane (Michael C. Hall) puts a bullet in the brain of low-life burglar Freddy Russell (Wyatt Russell). Although he’s hailed as a small-town hero, Dane soon finds himself fearing for his family’s safety when Freddy’s ex-con father, Ben (Sam Shepard), rolls into town, hell-bent on revenge.

Based on the book by prolific author Joe R. Lansdale, Michael C. Hall brings a shell-shocked vulnerability to his portrayal of Dane that contrasts perfectly with the grizzled badasses portrayed by Sam Shepard and Don Johnson. Directed with an excellent eye for the visual poetry of noir by Jim Mickle (We Are What We Are), this pulpy, southern-fried mystery is a throwback to an older breed of action film, one where every punch and shotgun blast opens up both physical and spiritual wounds. Twists and turns accelerate as the film reaches its inevitable destination: a gore-soaked dead end. Cold in July is as muggy, oppressive, and hard to shake as an east Texas summer.

 

Media Opportunities:

Co-writer/Director: Jim Mickle

Co-writer/Actor: Nick Damici

Book Author: Joe R. Lansdale 

Actors: Michael C. Hall, Sam Shepard, Don Johnson & Wyatt Russell
