HAMMER SCREENINGS: SHOAH

The Hammer Museum presents a two-night screening of Shoah (1985) on Monday, March 26 at 7pm and Tuesday, March 27 at 7pm in the Billy Wilder Theater.

An extraordinary film...One of the noblest ever made. It is not a documentary, not journalism, not propaganda, not political. It is an act of witness. —Roger Ebert

Shoah is one of the greatest documentaries in the history of the cinema…you must see it. —New York Magazine

Shoah, Claude Lanzmann’s monumental epic on the Holocaust, features interviews with survivors, bystanders, and perpetrators in 14 countries. The film does not contain any historical footage but rather features interviews that seek to remember the Jewish tragedy and revisits places where the crimes took place. (1985, Dir. Claude Lanzmann, First Era: 273 min. Second Era: 230 min. total: 503 min.)

In conjunction with the exhibition Alina Szapocznikow: Sculpture Undone, 1955–1972.

Peter Trummer: The Aggregated Figure and Its Unfolding Ground

Wednesday, February 22, 7pm
W. M. Keck Lecture Hall
Intro by Hsinming Fung

Peter Trummer is Professor and Head of the Institute for Urban Design & Spatial Planning at the University of Innsbruck. He was Head of the Associative Design Program at the Berlage Institute in Rotterdam from 2004 to 2010. Trummer practiced architecture with UN Studio before establishing his own firm in 2001. He is currently writing his doctoral thesis on "population thinking in architecture." He lectures, teaches and is invited as a critic at the Berlage Institute, Architectural Association, University for Applied Arts in Vienna, IAAC, SCI-Arc, University of Pennsylvania and Rice University. Recently he has published Essays in AD, Arch+, Hunch, Volume and Manifold.

"Ludwig Hilbereimer has argued that a single building is no longer an 'object,' but only the place in which the assemblage of single cells assumes physical form. The intent of this lecture is to argue that from the viewpoint of urban flow of capital, the disciplinary problem being to understand any urban figure as an aggregation of inhabited cells. The lecture will demonstrate this thesis on several design projects developed within the last six years."

David Berezin
January 21 – February 18, 2012
Opening Saturday, January 21st, 6-10pm

Jancar Jones Gallery is excited to announce an exhibit of new work by David Berezin, comprised of a selection of photographs and videos.

David Berezin creates compositions by collaging recognizable signifiers that beg to be read narratively, yet their meanings can only be inferred.  His work mimics the styles of commercial photography but is wholly made with low-resolution stock photo samples on the computer.  By invoking the medium of photography he creates a platform where the viewer expects to interpret an image and deduce specific meaning. While narrative is compositionally implied, the final photographs bear no information beyond the immediately identifiable characteristics of each respective image contained within.

LA - John Van Hamersveld "T.V. Life" (01.14.12 - 02.11.12)

T.V. LIFE
Photographs by John Van Hamersveld

January 14- February 11, 2012

Opening Reception Saturday, January 14, 7-10 pm

Best known for his legendary poster for the 1964 blockbuster surf film The Endless Summer and his album covers for the Beatles Magical Mystery Tour, The Rolling Stones Exile on Main Street, and The Grateful Dead Skeletons in the Closet among others, John Van Hamersveld has built up a wide-ranging body of work over a career verging on its sixth decade. The iconography of his oeuvre runs deep.

NYC - "OTHER BODIES: A COLLECTION OF VERNACULAR PHOTOGRAPH" (01.14.12 - 02.11.12)

OTHER BODIES:  A COLLECTION OF VERNACULAR PHOTOGRAPHY

January 14 – February 11, 2012

ZieherSmith proudly presents 65 found photographs spanning the American 20th century, celebrating its conspicuous beauty and encapsulating a lifestyle of exquisite hubris, baffling habits and poetic leisure. Focusing on the eerie and bizarre found in everyday life, including odd family units, perverse couplings of awkward figures in vaguely familiar places, and solo views of predominantly male figures, the patina of the vintage prints are often enhanced by blurring caused by misfired flash-bulbs, over and double exposures, crude processing and care-worn edges.  This singular grouping invites the viewer to see a crooked world through straight and narrow eyes and 65 ostensibly unrelated (and virtually untraceable) sources reinvented as a new, fleeting narrative.
