Syndromes and a Century: a film by Apichatpong Weerasethakul
Where: YBCA screening room
Date: 2007-04-13 19:00:00
Type:
Syndromes and a Century by Apichatpong Weerasethakul (2006, 105 min, 35 mm) Fri, Apr 13 & Sat, Apr 14, 7 & 9 pm; Sun, Apr 15, 4 & 7 pm $8 regular, $6 seniors, students & teachers $6 YBCA Members Thai filmmaker Apichatpong Weerasethakul (aka “Joe”) spent a week at YBCA in 2005, and anyone who attended the screenings knows how extraordinary this filmmaker is, and how his work is a virtual reinvention of cinema. His sublime new film explores memory; and how our sense of happiness can be triggered by seemingly insignificant things. The film is split into two parts, which sometimes echo each other. The two central characters are inspired by the filmmaker’s parents, in the years before they became lovers. The first part focuses on a woman doctor, the second part focuses on a male doctor, set in different spaces. The plot summary is essentially meaningless. The film is far less concerned with telling a story than quietly observing fragments of memories and meditating on abstract scenarios. A funny and strangely spiritual work, it somehow reaches the very deepest feelings in the viewer with grace and beauty.
Jane Fisher : Diversions
Where: Charles Campbell Gallery
Date: 2007-04-14 00:00:00
Type:
This new body of work confirms Jane Fisher’s command of subject and palette as presented from her insightful perspective. She paints ordinary, identifiable people in familiar settings – individuals rather than ideals - and familiar though not necessarily family. The people in this series are divers - in motion in mid air or static on the board, and in, or above, the water. These subjects remind us that we seek diversions on weekends and times off or away from responsibilities. We think of diving as fun, or as a sport. In addition, the physicality of diving provides the momentary experience of being in other mediums: air and water. This allows for a true divergence from our day-to-day existence. Fisher reinforces this concept by portraying subjects in ambiguous backgrounds; is it air or water? Either way, we see these divers are clearly confined by the edges of the canvas, analogous to the confines or our everyday lives. Diversion usually implies amusement so perhaps Fisher finds this play on words - divers and diversions - a source of both amusement as well as inspiration for these paintings. Fisher has shown work in public since 1984. She is well known in the Bay Area, formerly represented at Hackett-Freedman, and has exhibited her works throughout the United States. Other gallery affiliations are Lyons Weir in Chicago and New York and Geishedel in Chicago. This is her first solo exhibition with the gallery. Jane Fisher received her BFA from Ohio University and received a Master of Fine Arts degree from The Art Institute of Chicago. Her works are featured in our first floor space. Continuing upstairs are recent paintings by Eileen Starr Moderbacher. Tuesday - Saturday 12:00 pm - 5:00 pm Reception for the artist Saturday April 14, 3:30 - 5:30 pm
