  • Oct 1, 2009 at 7:00am to Jan 19, 2010 at 1:00pm
  • Location: MoCADA
  • Description: Their stories are numerous, some similar and others flavored by particular struggles in specific sites of discontent. Overall, their attitudes are of stubborn resilience, hope, and survival in environments desperate for their labor but resentful of their presence. With over 100 photographs and videos from Spain, Portugal, Italy, France, Germany, Holland, Czech and Britain, the exhibition, organized by NYU's Africana Studies Department, follows some remarkably resilient immigrants on their uncertain sojourn on makeshift, intermittently powered fishing boats from West Africa, through the rigors of European immigration control, into the interstices of European society. These works of art are created by award winning photographers, photo-journalists, and human rights activists all over Europe including Juan Medina (Spain), Alfredo Muňoz de Oliveira (Portugal), Francesco Cocco, Angelo Aprile, Elisa Cozzarini, Marco Ambrosi, Matteo Danesin, Aldo Sodoma and Stefano Renna (Italy).

  • Les Contes d’Hoffmann @ Metropolitan Opera

  • Dec 3, 2009 at 2:00pm to Jan 2, 2010 at 6:00pm
  • Location: Metropolitan Opera
  • Description: • Met Music Director James Levine and Tony Award winner Bartlett Sher, whose Barber of Seville was one of the hits of the Met’s 2006–07 season, join forces to bring Offenbach’s psychological fantasy to the Met stage. Joseph Calleja sings the title role, opposite Anna Netrebko as Antonia.• Sher on his production: “It’s a magical journey in which Hoffmann works out different manifestations of his psyche. Rather than a linear narrative, the opera is made up of poetic representations of the state of the character’s mind.”• Les Contes d’Hoffmann interweaves stories by the German Romantic poet E.T.A. Hoffmann into a fictionalized account of his life. Offenbach, known for his successful operettas, died before he could finish the score of his only opera. It was first performed in Paris in 1881.

  • A TOWN CALLED PANIC (PANIQUE AU VILLAGE)

  • Dec 16, 2009 at 8:00am to Dec 29, 2009 at 6:00pm
  • Location: Film Forum
  • Description: Horse, Cowboy and Indian have a strange and wonderful ménage à trois. Animating generic plastic toys, these Belgian directors fashion an absurdist world that has plenty of room for friendship and love, birthday presents, online shopping, music lessons, and home improvements. Their francophone universe — recognizable to anyone who has ever been intimidated by a Parisian waiter — is filled with equal parts hilarity and anxiety. Horse is the most “mature” of the three and Cowboy and Indian are intent on winning his favor. Meanwhile, Horse — barely aware of their efforts — concentrates on wooing Madame Longray, the village’s sexy equine music teacher. This is animation for both adults and kids, in fact for anyone who has ever enjoyed the company of a plastic figurine on a rainy day. A TOWN CALLED PANIC is the only stop-motion animated feature to have been shown in the official selection of the Cannes Film Festival.Note: Occasional bad language in the subtitles, but otherwise entirely appro

  • EXPOSITION KANDINSKY, GUGGENHEIM MUSEUM

  • Dec 16, 2009 at 1:00pm to Jan 13, 2010 at 2:00pm
  • Location: Guggenheim Museum, NY
  • Description: Quelques unes des oeuvres les plus connues de l'artiste nous viennent du Centre Pompidou, à l'occasion du cinquantenaire du Musée Guggenheim.Magnifique exposition où les oeuvres moscovites, pointillistes et colorées, succèdent à celles du Bahaus,et aux oeuvres abstraites les plus fameuses.Le visiteur est littéralement pris dans cette exposition, et se perd le long des couloirs ascendants de la construction futuriste du musée. Il revisite la singularité de Kandinsky et son désir de libérer la peinture vers l'abstraction. Pour moi, la période géométrique et colorée est la plus étincelante, parfaite dans sa composition et dans le choix de ses symboliques.Le "Monde Bleu", "la Montagne Bleue", les "Quelques cercles" seront jusqu'au 13 Janvier au Guggenheim...:-)

  • Fellini, la Grande Parade

  • Dec 28, 2009 to Jan 17, 2010
  • Location: Le Jeu de Paume -Paris ( jardin des tuileries, concorde)
  • Description: Tenter une exposition Fellini, c’est revenir aux sources de la création fellinienne, en étudiant et en donnant à voir les processus de transformation, de modification, d’emprunt ou d’empilement de strates où s’entremêlent des éléments filmiques, des documents photographiques, la mise en page de l’événement dans les magazines, des images télévisuelles ou des œuvres d’artistes…L’exposition s’affirme sur le terrain de la pluridisciplinarité dont la tentative réside dans l’élaboration d’une grille de lecture renouvelée du cinéma de Fellini.L’exposition du Jeu de Paume lève le voile sur une partie des mécanismes de la création fellinienne en rendant compte du processus d’absorption du réel, art inégalé de Fellini.Elle se compose essentiellement de photographies, de dessins de Fellini, d'affiches originales de films, de magazines d’époque et d’extraits de films.

  • Arts de l'islam

  • Dec 28, 2009 to Jan 14, 2010
  • Location: Institut du Monde Arabe. Paris.
  • Description: Comprendre et apprécier l’art islamique, telle est l’ambition de la grande exposition que propose l’IMA. Le vocable «islamique» pourrait faire croire que cet art n’a de finalité que religieuse ; or une large partie de sa production est profane. Il est islamique parce que son vocabulaire est partiellement ancré dans la pensée philosophique de l’Islam qu’a partagé un groupe de nations adhérant à cette foi ; il ne s’agit pas de l’art d’un seul pays ou d’une seule civilisation
