Director: Cecilia Aldarondo
United States, 2020, 94', DCP, color
English and Spanish with Turkish, English subtitles

A prismatic portrait of collective trauma and resistance, as a devastating hurricane hits Puerto Rico as it struggles through a debt crisis. A look at the kinship of these two storms--one environmental, the other economic--juxtaposing competing utopian visions of recovery, from residents and outside “helpers”.

Director Cecilia Aldarondo, UNDP Climate and Disaster Resilience expert Stanislav Kim, and Social Scientist and Urban Researcher Murat Güney will engage in a discussion after the screening.

Free admissions. Drop in, no reservations.

Good News from the Skies

Good News from the Skies

Inspired by the exhibition And Now the Good News, which focusing on the relationship between mass media and art, we prepared horoscope readings based on the chapters of the exhibition. Using the popular astrological language inspired by the effects of the movements of celestial bodies on people, these readings with references to the works in the exhibition make fictional future predictions inspired by the horoscope columns that we read in the newspapers with the desire to receive good news about our day.

Marcel Duchamp’s Bicycle Wheel

Marcel Duchamp’s Bicycle Wheel

In 1998 Ben Jakober and Yannick Vu collaborated on an obvious remake of Marcel Duchamp’s Roue de Bicyclette, his first “readymade” object. Duchamp combined a bicycle wheel, a fork and a stool to create a machine which served no purpose, subverting accepted norms of art.
