A theater revolutionary at twenty, perpetrator of a stunning hoax at twenty-three, the force behind the greatest American film at twenty-six, and run out of Hollywood (the first time) at twenty-seven, Orson Welles co-wrote, starred in, and directed Citizen Kane, and wrote and directed The Magnificent Ambersons He would later return from his second Hollywood banishment to craft Touch of Evil, hailed as the nigh-perfect finale to the film noir cycle Though often dismissed during his career, we should never forget that Welles was, in the words of Martin Scorsese, responsible for inspiring more people to be film directors than anyone else in history of the cinema Take this four-week course to see why Taught at Bryn Mawr Film Institute by Andrew J Douglas, PhD, BMFI's Director of Education

Marc Andr Robinson: The Diachronic

Friday, Saturday

Marginal Utility Inc

http://www.marginalutility.org

Marginal Utility Inc - 319 N 11th Street, Second Floor Philadelphia PA 19107

Admission: FREE

Start Time(s): 7 PM & 9 PM

Marc Andre Robinson's artistic practice revolves around a situated awareness of historical, cultural and familial relations of belonging Robinson is interested in historically loaded objects, icons and images Drawn toward the banal and often discarded furniture of daily life, Robinson distills the hidden power relations embedded within these everyday things Depriving commonplace objects of their historical innocence, Robinson exposes the historic struggles of race, class, and gender that silently shape their perception These gestures of desublimation in which we perceive the mechanisms through which the brutal debris of the past is swept into the present, disturbs our sensory habits and forces us to question the routine Even if temporary, such awareness generates the potential for a critical reappraisal of our surroundings, and the entangled historical and biographical narratives that frame our apprehension In The Diachronic exhibition, Robinson provides an installation that addresses desire and loss through references to events that traverse personal and collective memories The central motif of the exhibition is a toy blue gorilla As a child Robinson watched this toy mysteriously vanish only to periodically return in other forms throughout the artist's life Like 'Rosebud' from the film Citizen Kane, the blue gorilla is a stand-in for the past that is beyond one's grasp It casts a spell over the present by inflecting a subject's awareness with nostalgia and a sense of the uncanny Many of the themes within The Diachronic are preparatory sketches for the artist's first trip to Pretoria and Johanesburg in South Africa The purpose of this voyage is to visit a suburban golf course in Pretoria where Robinson's Grandparents family farm once stood, in the hopes of starting a dialogue about the artist's Afrikaner family history Robinson has inherited the weight of his family's history through stories told by the artist's mother that are augmented by satellite images of the farm found on Google earth Perhaps the recurring image of the lost gorilla is a kind of cathected petite object that stands in metonymic relation to the family farm and the history of colonialism Born in Los Angeles, Robinson earned an MFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art He participated in the Whitney Independent Study Program and was artist-in-residence at the Studio Museum in Harlem, the LMCC and The Rocktower in Kingston, Jamaica Robinson has exhibited in the US and abroad at venues including the New Museum of Contemporary Art, NY; the Tina Kim Gallery, NY and the Centre for Contemporary Arts in Glasgow Robinson was awarded an Art Matters grant to travel to South Africa in 2010 He currently lives and works in Brooklyn marcandrerobinsoncom

The act of censorship is complex, its definition elusive In "Drawing the Curtain," student and faculty co-curators will investigate case studies of censorship within a college museum exhibition that raises questions about the rights of viewers to make their own choices about the images and objects at which they look Should others be permitted to make such choices for us? Should our individual aesthetics, religious beliefs, or cultural comfort levels define or limit those choices for others? "Drawing the Curtain" asks its viewers to put themselves in the position of exploring the fundamental nature of these questions by interacting with images and ideas that might in some circumstances lead to acts of censorship They are invited to "draw the curtain" and make their own decisions

The Family: A Project of Reconciliation Portraits by Haim Maor and Khader Oshah

Thursday, Friday, Saturday

Consulate General of Israel

http://slought.org/content/11446/

Slought Foundation - 4017 Walnut Street Philadelphia PA 19104

Admission: FREE

Start Time(s): 1 - 6 PM

Slought Foundation is pleased to announce The family: a project of reconciliation, on display from March 20 - April 21, 2010 The family is a collaborative project undertaken by a Palestinian artist, Khader Oshah, and an Israeli artist, Haim Maor, Professor at Ben-Gurion University They have spent three years painting members of each others’ families The project displayed at Slought Foundation features the artworks that resulted from this process However, it is more than an exhibition of art, and privileges dialogue and cultural exchange as equally important gestures of reconciliation between two cultures who in this moment remain in perpetual conflict

While it is generally discouraged today to reduce an artist to his or her cultural milieu, there are however signs of both cultures in these respective artists And yet, though their styles may differ, through the exhibition these two attitudes become a single form Maor, in his portraits on irregular, found pieces of wood, paints members of the family of Oshah, while Oshah’s work uses an expressionist style to represent the family of Maor Each portrait permits a reconstructed and renewed sense of self, albeit through the eyes of the other In so doing, despite decades of Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Oshah and Maor perform an intimate and personal series of gestures that enable interaction on a human scale Without presuming to mitigate the conflict that gave rise to the project, they nevertheless undertake a thought-experiment concerning the possibility of reconciliation

One of the underlying principles of this project is that figurative painting becomes art only when the artist sublimates that realism in the pursuit of something more important Both Oshah and Maor succeed here in using realism as the vehicle for another task--namely, the idea of perpetual peace Perhaps the return today to realism in contemporary art is thus superficial, without sufficient meaning or political responsibility

This project has been curated by Osvaldo Romberg, taking into consideration that importance of art as a means of cultural exchange and reconciliation at Slought Foundation In keeping with this approach, a handout soliciting public comments on the project will accompany the exhibition A representative group from those received will be invited to participate in a workshop at the exhibition closing In so doing, Slought Foundation offers the organization itself as a forum for dialogue in the spirit of the featured project
