free bus trip to moma for students
Just got this email from Judith Gilligan in the Studio department and thought I’d post it here for anyone who’s not on her email list… if I didn’t have photography on Mondays I’d be there!
FREE BUS TRIP
MUSEUM OF MODERN ART, NEW YORK CITY, MONDAY, MARCH 1, 2010
“William Kentridge: Five Themes”
“Parcours d’Atelier: Artist in the Studio”
“Thick Time: Soho and Felix”
“Occasional and Residual Hope: Ubu and the Procession”
“Sarastro and the Master’s Voice: The Magic Flute”
“Learning from the Absurd: The Nose”
This large-scale exhibition surveys nearly three decades of work by William Kentridge (b. 1955, South Africa), a remarkably versatile artist whose work combines the political with the poetic. Dealing with subjects as sobering as apartheid, colonialism, and totalitarianism, his work is often imbued with dreamy, lyrical undertones or comedic bits of self-deprecation that render his powerful messages both alluring and ambivalent.
Bus trip sponsored by the Studio Arts Program – FREE OF CHARGE
All welcome – bus leaves Summit St. (Mather driveway) at 8:30 AM, departs NYC at 5:30 PM
One-way travel either way OK – must sign up by email to judith.gilligan@trincoll.edu
there are few who’d deny, at what he does he is the best
The extensive exhibition on the work of film mastermind Tim Burton has been open at the MOMA for a couple of weeks now, and it’s giving this Boston girl yet another excuse to head to NYC over winter break. He’s captivated my imagination since the first time I saw The Nightmare Before Christmas as a little girl at my uncle’s house, and just in case you haven’t heard… Burton has (once again) collaborated with the beautiful and eccentric (Bellatrix!) Helena Bonham Carter and (surprise) Johnny Depp, as well as Anne Hathaway, to bring us his version of Alice in Wonderland. You can watch the trailer here. I sense that we should expect a splattering of Big Fish-style, enchanting scenery and Depp’s Willy Wonka-perfected strangeness that makes him all the more delicious (see him as the Mad Hatter below) even when covered in eighteen pounds of stage makeup… Anyway, how about we schedule a Mill field trip for March 5, 2010?
