INDEPENDENT LENS | The Cool School | PBS

cant wait to see this!
Today, Friday, Nov 14 7:00p
at International House, Philadelphia, PA
Price: $5.00 - $7.00
The Cool School: Story of the Ferus Art Gallery - An object lesson in how to build an art scene from scratch and what to avoid in the process, the film focuses on the seminal Ferus Gallery, which groomed the LA art scene from a loose band of idealistic beatniks into a coterie of competitive, often brilliant artists, including Ed Ruscha, Craig Kauffman, Wallace Berman, Ed Moses and Robert Irwin. The Ferus also served as launching point for New York imports, Andy Warhol (hosting his first Soup Can show), Jasper Johns and Roy Lichtenstein as well as the first Marcel Duchamp retrospective and Pop Art show. What was lost and gained is tied up in a complex web of egos, passions, money and art. This is how LA came of age. The Way We Do Art Now and Other Sacred Tales - The Way We Do Art Now and Other Sacred Tales is a series of parables concerning modes of representation, language and cognition. Often conveyed through conscious misinformation, Baldessari's witty puns and jokes play off the relation of word, image and meaning; the intersection of what is heard or written, what is seen, and what is understood.

Kahimi Karie - MELT THE SNOW

Giacometti




"He does not draw up a single course but opens a multitude of paths which the object can choose, or at least seem to hesitate continually, drawing from its indecision its quivering autonomy and the trembling of a separate life." Jacques Dupin on Giacometti translated by John Ashberry circa 1962

(above photos - Giacometti walking to the studio by Henri Cartier Bresson and 2008 ArtBasel Switzerland Barnett Newman painting with Giacometti sculpture)
