Opening Reception | Group Exhibition: Dust: The plates of the present, February 2013 - July 2015


Nearly three years ago, artists Thomas Fougeirol and Jo-ey Tang began a project with the intent of turning a small storage space in Ivry-sur-Seine, a suburb just southeast of Paris, into a means of communal production. An improvised darkroom was built and friends were invited. The space was named Dust and the residency, The plates of the present. The project began in February 2013 with New York based artist G. William Webb. He completed a series of eight photograms, and as a result Fougeirol and Tang decided that each of the following participants would continue to produce eight photograms for the archive. The archive of The plates of the present is ongoing to this day and is on view for the first time in its current entirety for the occasion of the exhibition.

Lecture | Gendering War Dispatches: Martha Gellhorn, Lee Miller and Margaret Bourke-White Give Witness to the German Stunde Null


A talk by Professor Elisabeth Bronfen. War has, for many centuries, been the affair of men, while women were often reporting from the front lines in their function as nurses. During the Second World War, however, the U.S. military began actively courting women war correspondents. The most celebrated of these - Margaret Bourke-White, Lee Miller, and Martha Gellhorn - are the subject of this talk. In a unique manner, they bring together personal courage, clear-sighted reportage and self-performance.

Talk | Bringing Art Young Back to Life


Art Young (1866-1943) was the best known political cartoonist in the first half of the twentieth century, but sadly, he's been mostly forgotten - and the story behind this, as with most Art Young tales, is quite remarkable and unfortunate. He's a cartoonist almost legendary, yet nearly become myth. Speaker Marc Moorash, curator of The Art Young Gallery (housed one mile from where Young built his gallery in Bethel CT in 1928) will talk about publishing Types of the Old Home Town, the handmade book process of making Types, Art's history and legacy in American cartooning, and show slides of a number of images and photographs that haven't been seen in public for decades.

Film | Robert Wiene's The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920) - with a Live Soundtrack


An influential classic of early cinema, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari conveys dream-like visions and the distortion of reality. With a radical set design, this film represents an early nexus between design, space, architecture, and image. The Ensemble Dissonanzen from Italy provides an improvised sound track heightening the film's expressionism and further activating the interaction between image, music, and the architecture of cinema. This live-act uses the reading of the Italian translation of the film's original captions of the film, made by Enzo Salomone, and is accompanied by improvised music by the Ensemble Dissonanzen.
