SUMMARY:Abstraction Reconsidered: Terms\, Histories\, and the Women who Shaped Them
DESCRIPTION:Join Chris Reitz\, Director of the Hite Institute of Art and Design at the University of Louisville\, for an engaging lecture connected to the exhibition Abstract Expressionists: The Women (on view May 16–August 30). \nThis session will explore what “abstraction” means in art\, how modern artists and critics invented the concept\, and how historians are reconsidering it today. You’ll learn about the origins of modern abstract painting\, about its redeployment in postwar Abstract Expressionism\, and about the women who were central to both.\nThrough guided discussion and close looking\, participants will develop their own understanding of abstraction\, one that is thoughtful\, flexible\, and open to different perspectives. Students\, artists\, and anyone curious about art are encouraged to attend. After the seminar\, participants are invited to visit the exhibition to continue the experience. \nChris Reitz is Director of the Hite Institute of Art and Design and Associate Professor of Critical and Curatorial Studies at the University of Louisville. He is the author of the book Martin Kippenberger: Everything is Everywhere. \nThis lecture session is free and open to the public. We are encouraging registration for this event. \nREGISTER\nJoan MitchellWhen They Were Gone\, 1977Oil on canvas\, 94 x 71 in.© Estate of Joan Mitchell.Courtesy of the Levett Collection and FAMMPhoto: Fraser Marr.\n\n

SUMMARY:Burst City at Speed Cinema
DESCRIPTION:Essential Cinema\nBurst City\nDirected by Gakuryū Ishii \nSunday\, May 17\, 3 pm | BUY TICKETS  \n“Burst City resolutely puts the punk into the Japanese cyberpunk movement that emerged in the early 1980s.” —Budd Wilkins\, Slant \nFans of Tetsuo: The Iron Man take note! An early landmark in cyberpunk cinema\, Burst City is an experimental\, dystopian musical from underground filmmaker Gakuryū (formerly Sogo) Ishii that ignites a Molotov cocktail of Mad Max-style carnage and real-life Japanese punk bands. In a derelict industrial wasteland on the outskirts of Tokyo\, two rival bands and their unruly mobs of fans gather for a Battle of the Bands-style protest against a nuclear power plant\, bringing them face-to-face with the yakuza industrialists that want to erase their turf. 1982\, Japan\, DCP\, in Japanese with English subtitles\, 115 minutes.
