Directed by
Nancy Buirski


They didn’t ask to be heroes... just to be happy.


HBO Documentary Films and Augusta Films presents THE LOVING STORY, the inspiring documentary debut of Nancy Buirski, producer of Timepiece and Sweet Dreams.

This evocative documentary recounts the little-known story of the Lovings. The marriage of Mildred (who is part black and part Native American) and Richard (who is white) was declared illegal in 1958 by their home state of Virginia.

They refused to leave one another and, with the help of the ACLU, relentlessly pursued their right to happiness. Their case made it all the way to the US Supreme Court where, in 1967, laws against interracial marriage in this country were struck down once and for all.

With luminous, newly discovered 16mm footage of the Lovings and their lawyers, first-person testimony and rare documentary photographs, this film takes us behind the scenes of the legal challenges and the emotional turmoil of the case.

The Loving Story recreates a seminal moment in history and reflects a timely message of marriage equality in a personal, human love story.

Pedro Pacoinho

 

 

PEDRO PASCOINHO: NO FUTURE ! ? UTOPIA AS CONSTRUCTION...

AT ROOSTER GALLERY, 190 ORCHARD STREET, LOWER EAST SIDE, NYC

 

OPENING RECEPTION: THURSDAY, OCTOBER 13, 6-8PM

EXHIBITION RUNS FROM OCTOBER 13 – NOVEMBER 23

 

Rooster Gallery Contemporary Art presents “Pedro Pascoinho: No Future !? Utopia as Construction...” opening on Thursday, October 13, 2011 from 6pm to 8pm.

For his first exhibition in New York City, Pedro Pascoinho (born 1972, Portugal) has decided to include only works on paper. Some will be disappointed that he is excluding installation art, another area in which he is active. Happily, despite the artist’s classical approach, both genres are served in the show. The non-conventional way the works are displayed, as well as their different sizes, provides the exhibition an installation-like quality, challenging the boundaries of both installation and painting.

The 14 works exhibited deal mainly with the issue of memory and our fragmented vision of memory. As with Pascoinho’s previous works, image occupies a central position in his thought process. Appropriation, fragmentation, decontextualization —these three steps, despite the kafkaesque result, lead the viewer to search for an ultimate truth through his own familiarity with the image.

These intimately dark works are closely connected to “film noir.” Through a careful mise-en-scène, Pascoinho creates silent environments, apparently devoid of any narrative logic insofar as the actions taking place are meaningless, approaching existential nihilism. The sense of fallibility and anguish derived from the works never ceases to rivet the viewer.

 “No Future !? Utopia as Construction...” is a pictorial exercise in the triviality of meaning, the crisis associated with the selected images and, ultimately, our own perception of these ambiguities, which are closely related to the present. The ultimate truth is therefore open for discussion.

The exhibition is titled after an essay included in the exhibition catalog and written for this occasion by Ana Luísa Barão, a Glasgow-based art critic and a former Professor
at the School of Fine Arts of Oporto.

Gabríela Frioriksdóttir and Erro @ Schirn Kunsthalle, Frankfurt

Gabríela Friðriksdóttir and Erro at Schirn Kunsthalle, Frankurt. Erró: Portrait and Landscape. Schirn Kunsthalle, Frankfurt 6. October - 8. January 2012  The Icelandic artist Erró is one of the great solitary figures of twentieth- century art. At once Pop and Baroque, eye-catching and narrative, critical of society and humorous, moral and inscrutable, over the past fifty years he has produced an opulent, unmistakable oeuvre that resists all categorization. His critical narrative collages reproduce in painting combinations of pictorial elements from various popular sources to create eloquent, often disturbing tableaux. As reflections on great social themes such as politics, war, sexuality, science, and art, these dense visual arrangements seem to create a comprehensive atlas of images of the modern world. On the occasion of Iceland’s turn as guest of honor at the Frankfurt Book Fair, the SCHIRN will show Erró’s series “Scapes” and, for the first time, the artist’s entire cycle of “Monsters” from 1968. This bizarre series of double portraits confronts the official likenesses of prominent persons with a second, monstrously distorted face. Erró films from the 1960s will be shown as a link between the two work groups.  Curator: Esther Schlicht, SCHIRN Gabríela Friðriksdóttir: Crepusculum. Schirn Kunsthalle, Frankfurt 29. September - 8. January 2012 On the occasion of Iceland’s presentation as guest of honor at the Frankfurt Book Fair 2011, the SCHIRN will dedicate a solo exhibition to this country’s artist Gabríela Friðriksdóttir. Her approach is characterized by the use of a variety of media: drawings, paintings, photographs, and sculptures figure as prominently as installations and performances. The artist assembles different cultural, religious, and psychological elements to unfold a unique aesthetical canon of signs, forms, and meanings. This becomes particularly evident in her videos whose surreal scenarios, which abandon all classical narrative patterns, confront the viewer with wondrous worlds: dream images interweave with stories from Norse mythology, elements of sexual psychology are associated with the sphere of spiritual exercises, things of the past merge with the present. In the work Gabríela Friðriksdóttir is conceiving for the SCHIRN, original medieval manuscripts of Icelandic sagas combine with the artist’s mysterious system of signs and a new film to a fantastic universe of its own.

Synopsis: After watching the last of the old colonial movie theaters destroyed in the earthquake, a young Haitian man enlists the help of a priest and two young aid workers to build Haiti's only movie theater on a hill above a tent city. With some outside help and in four days, residents of a post-earthquake tent city outside Port-au-Prince erect a movie house. On opening night the new marquee lights and children's laughter dispel some of their world's bitter darkness. This is the joyful and moving story of a community torn apart by disaster then united in a singular vision.
