Miranda July follows Me and You and Everyone We Know with a “cosmic romance”. Sophie (played by Miranda July) and Jason are a thirty-something couple who have hit a bit of a brick wall in their lives. They make a decision to adopt a terminally ill cat named Paw Paw, who will need around-the-clock care like a newborn baby. Terrified of the responsibility and the looming loss of freedom, they decide to quit their jobs before they collect the cat, to make the best of their remaining days of freedom. But will the future match their dreams? Using elements of magical realism and with humour, the film invites us to share the new direction this young couple.

The Ottoman Way of Serving Coffee

The Ottoman Way of Serving Coffee

Coffee was served with much splendor at the harems of the Ottoman palace and mansions. First, sweets (usually jam) was served on silverware, followed by coffee serving. The coffee jug would be placed in a sitil (brazier), which had three chains on its sides for carrying, had cinders in the middle, and was made of tombac, silver or brass. The sitil had a satin or silk cover embroidered with silver thread, tinsel, sequin or even pearls and diamonds.

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. 

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.
