Charisse Pearlina Weston now represented by Jack Shainman Gallery
NEW YORK, NY.- Jack Shainman Gallery has announced the representation of conceptual artist Charisse Pearlina Weston in collaboration with Patron Gallery. Based in Brooklyn, Weston works across sculpture, writing, installation, and photography. Utilizing techniques such as concealment, repetition, and enfoldment, her work posits Black interior life as a central site of Black resistance. Weston often integrates glass into her work due to its inherent nature. Whether it be through photographs, fragments incorporated into a canvas, or an element within a sculpture, the duality of the material speaks to Weston’s understanding of Black resistance. Both fragile and susceptible to shatter at the hand of an act of violence, glass is also highly malleable despite that risk. Etched and embedded into the surface of her works are poetic fragments, ... More

Faisal Samra, 'Immortal Moment II: Coping with the Shock' at Ayyam Gallery
DUBAI.- Ayyam Gallery is now opening Immortal Moment II - Coping with the Shock, a solo exhibition featuring Faisal Samra’s recent body of work. The vernissage will be from 6 pm - 9 pm, in presence of the artist.

'The Hunt' review: The hunter cecomes the hunted
NEW YORK, NY.- “Each town has its witch/Each parish its troll,” a character sings ominously while sharpening hedge shears. “We will with pleasure/Take the life from their veins.” Let it be known that the British import “The Hunt” — about a man ostracized, and worse, for a crime he didn’t commit — does not really err toward subtlety. The simple premise can be summed up in a sentence: Lucas (Tobias Menzies, from “The Crown” and “Outlander”), a small-town kindergarten teacher, is falsely accused of molesting several of his students, and his life falls apart. Danish filmmaker Thomas Vinterberg told the story in an understated manner in his movie “The Hunt” (2013), which is simultaneously detached and veined with warm, if subtly expressed, empathy. Now a tragedy that feels ripped from the headlines is deployed with fable-like horror ... More

Review: A musician's portrait, as both composer and pianist
NEW YORK, NY.- Whether as a composer or as a pianist, Amy Williams is first and foremost, in her heart of hearts, a chamber musician. “Chamber music is my love when it comes to music, as a listener and performer,” she said in an onstage interview during a Composer Portraits concert devoted to her work at the Miller Theater at Columbia University on Thursday evening. Miller’s composer portraits tend to focus on pieces for small groups, and therefore represent some artists more fully than others. Williams, born in 1969 and now a professor at the University of Pittsburgh, has, in her relatively tight body of work, written little but small-group pieces. Many of them involve the piano, which brought her to Thursday’s concert as a performer, too, and gave the audience another crucial facet of her musical life. (She is the longtime half, ... More

Star directors buy Los Angeles cinema with plan for 'Coolest AV Club'
NEW YORK, NY.- With the moviegoing experience under threat from streaming services and ever-improving home entertainment options, a group with a passionate interest in its preservation — three dozen filmmakers who create their works for the big screen, to be enjoyed in the company of large audiences — has decided to do something about it. The group of directors, led by Jason Reitman — whose films include “Juno,” “Up in the Air” and “Ghostbusters: Afterlife” — announced Wednesday that it had bought the Village Theater in the Westwood neighborhood of Los Angeles, which was put up for sale last summer to the concern of film buffs. The group, which also includes Christopher Nolan, Steven Spielberg, Lulu Wang and Alfonso CuarÃ³n, among others, plans to restore the 93-year-old movie palace, which features one of the ... More
