Chelsea’s Agora Gallery will feature French artist, Christian Perez de Carvasal, in The Rhythm of Color. The exhibition is scheduled to run from September 13, 2011 through October 4, 2011 (opening reception: Thursday, September 15, 2011).

About the Artist

Combining symbolic elements of the figurative and the abstract, French artist Christian Perez de Carvasal creates stunning canvases that reflect all the movement and energy intrinsic to city life. Inspired by a childhood in Paris, the artist paints sprawling scenes highlighting the majesty of modern architecture and the dynamism of crowded sidewalks and streets. Yet interspersed amid his urban landscapes are peaceful humanlike creatures which serve in juxtaposition to the harried pace that commonly defines city life. He explains, “I am inspired by urban life, people in motion, architecture, and colors. My mission is to provoke emotional and political reflections and visual expressions.”

One of the hallmarks of Carvasal’s work is his us

Since 1985, Global Classroom has connected international university students and others with public school students to create interactive and culturally based workshops to break down stereotypes and improve dialogues among differences

On what do we rely to differentiate truth from fiction? How much of our interpretation of the world depends on our senses and how much on our rational mind? What really shapes our perception of the world around us?

Explore these questions through new works, an audio-guided walk, performances, and commissioned projects offering engaging and thought-provoking perspectives and experiences, all designed for locations along Museum Mile and in Central Park.

Arthur Nauzyciel directs a site-specific staged reading based on the French novel Jan Karski written by Yannick Haenel and translated by Ian Monk (published in the U.S. as The Messenger).

Adapted by Arthur Nauzyciel, it recounts the heroic acts of Jan Karski, a messenger of the Polish Resistance, who risked his life beginning in 1942 to report to the Allies on the destruction of the Warsaw ghetto and the Holocaust. The novel blends documentary and fiction to relate the life of Karski, one of the witnesses interviewed in Claude Lanzmann’s landmark documentary, Shoah.
