  • Jean Luc Mylayne

  • Aug 3, 2009 at 7:00am to Sep 20, 2009 at 1:00pm
  • Location: Parrish Art Museum
  • Description: For more than thirty years, French artist Jean Luc Mylayne has explored the intimate bond between subject and photographer through a non-traditional approach that combines exacting conception, visionary inventiveness, and infinite patience. Mylayne’s photographic subjects, commonplace birds such as sparrows, starlings, and bluebirds, belie the wholly unique experience that Mylayne captures in his photography.

  • Marcel Duchamp: tant Donns

  • Aug 14, 2009 to Nov 29, 2009
  • Location: Philadelphia, USA Philadelphia Museum of Art
  • Description: tant Donns, Duchamps last major work, has been described by Jasper Johns as é’“the strangest work of art in any museum. What at first looks like an boarded-up wooden door is actually a tableau visible only through two peep holes, which reveal a half-hidden naked woman in a landscape. Duchamp worked on the piece in secret for 20 years, while even his friends thought he had given up his art, and it was only revealed to the public when it was posthumously installed in the museum. To celebrate the 40th anniversary of its first display, and in memory of the late director Anne dHarnoncourt, who oversaw the original installation as a 25-year-old assistant, the museum has organised this show of 80 studies, photographs, erotic objects and other documents.

La formule est "cash bar", chacun paie ce qu'il consomme. Certains prennent un verre, d'autres s'attablent pour dîner.Y participent un panel de personnes de tout âge, de toute orgine ethnique, de toute catégorie socio-professionnelle.Les "tout nouveaux" se sentent accueillis et rencontrent du monde, évitant ainsi une certaine solitude si fréquemment ressentie dans les débuts de la vie à l'étranger ; les "fidèles adeptes" apprécient de se retrouver chaque mois ; les "têtes récentes" deviennent en général rapidement des familiers des Rencontres...Quantité de participants se sont liés d’amitié grâce à ces soirées.L

  • Ambrose Akinmusire Quartet @ The Jazz Gallery, 11 et 12 sept, 9 et 10.30 pm

  • Sep 11, 2009 at 5:00pm to Sep 12, 2009 at 8:00am
  • Location: The jazz gallery
  • Description: Ambrose's conceptual extension into a new musical language is never to the exclusion of beauty. As one who listens intently, he values the fertility of a pause, of communication, of tension. Ambrose began conceptualizing early as a musician, theorizing and experimenting as a catalyst for development.  He seeks other genres of music to analyze and expose, drawing inspiration from such musicians as Bjork and Chopin.Ambrose’s music restructures accepted notions of jazz in a way that reflects his ability to recognize nuances, multiplicities, and patterns.  First playing piano at the age of three, his familiarity with music began long before putting his mouth to a trumpet.  He is relentlessly opposed to stagnation, seeking movement in both his music and his life.
