Theater | Rabbit Hole: A College Production


Written by: Duncan Macmillan. Directed by: Zenon Kruszelnicki. "Darryl is 15 and already broken. His mum killed herself, his school has excluded him from lessons, an Asbo hangs over him, and he has a worrying obsession with his nan's kitchen knife and Charles Manson. But trainee teacher Tom, escaping a City job and a mental breakdown, wants to make a difference. His pregnant wife, Jodi, doubts that Darryl can be repaired, but Tom is determined to patch the boy up. He can't change the history, but maybe he can make a better future, particularly if he can enlist the help of Rita, who says she wants the best for her grandson. In the process, Tom might make a better future for his own unborn child, his own "little monster"." - The Guardian

Opening Reception | Ceramic sculpture and fabric works: Rabbit Hole


Beverly Semmes' centerpiece of the exhibition is a ceramic floor sculpture. Through her tactile explorations in ceramics she challenges traditional concerns, subverting the valuation of the analytic in favor of the raw and intuitive. Wall pieces made of tulle, felt, fleece and faux fur are also presented. These fabric works are abstracted and flattened, by turns weighty and ethereal, carnal and cerebral. The viewer’s body becomes implicated in a realm where the comfort of the familiar and allure of the unknown pays homage to Oppenheim’s (iconic feminist artist) fur tea cup.

Reading | Hate Is A Failure Of Imagination: A Literary Collage – An Encouraging Testimony


The terror attacks of November 13 in Paris have drastically reminded us how hatred can blind people and how much destruction and violence an inhuman ideology can unleash. The artists whose texts will be presented have defied the Nazis’ hatred and contempt for them in their own way. They have countered this hate with a powerful offensive of imagination. With their artistic fantasy, their creative power, and their inventive energy they continuously proved the national-socialist dictum, that Jews were sub-human and as such incapable of any real culture, wrong. The literary collage “Hate is a Failure of Imagination“ is a testament to the power of imagination and to the profound love and humanity of the artists who were imprisoned in the ghetto and concentration camp Theresienstadt. The unshakable hope that human decency will prevail and that humanity will be stronger than all the attempts to crush it, is the message conveyed by the texts of pianist Alice Herz-Sommer, poet Georg Kafka, playwright Paul Aron Sandfort, cabaret artist Leo Strauss, composer Viktor Ullmann, and poet Ilse Weber. Today especially it is more important than ever to carry this message of hope and strong positive signal out into the world. The life-affirming words of these artists can still encourage us to break through the spiral of hate, violence and destruction. Narrator Gregorij von Leïtis will read the various texts. Gregorij von Leïtis is a winner of the New York Theatre Club Prize, Founding Artistic Director of Elysium and President of The Lahr von Leïtis Academy and Archive.

Slide Lecture | Visualizing Love in the Renaissance


A lecture by Dr. Sonia Evers (Save Venice Board Member and Project Committee Member). Many of the most famous Renaissance works of art were made to celebrate marriage and family. However, what we think of when we think of marriage is very different from the Renaissance reality. Love very rarely played any part in the equation, and the higher the stakes the more fraught the contract. Family relations were a rough game in the Renaissance, and yet the art was so often sublime. Art was both the disguise and the magic formula to ensure a successful and fruitful marriage – the physical demonstration of legitimacy. This lecture will examine some of the most iconic Renaissance paintings, including works by Botticelli, Bellini, Titian and Veronese, in the context of love, marriage and sex.
