Jargot is a new sculptural installation by that continues her investigation into the relationship between thought, language, and the production of objects. Vasiljeva builds a stage of sculptural stand-ins for personal objects and subjects, confusing definitions and categorizations, while creating a mysterious web of references, riddles, and inside jokes. Populated by reoccurring characters, which move seamlessly between sculpture, prop, and performance, Jargot operates as a metaphor for syntax.

Film | Benny Safdie and Joshua Safdie's Lenny Cooke (2013): The Superstar Who Wasn't


In 2001, Lenny Cooke was the most hyped high-school basketball player in the country, ranked above future greats LeBron James, Amar'e Stoudemire and Carmelo Anthony. In an era when high-school stars were forgoing college hoops in favor of the potential multimillion dollar contracts promised in the NBA draft, Lenny was supposed to be the next superstar. He had the world at his fingertips. But over a decade later, while his peers are taking home MVP awards and championship trophies, Lenny has never played a minute in the NBA. What went wrong? 90 min. The screening will be followed by a Q&A with the film's directors.
