SUMMARY:"Brilliant Exiles: American Women in Paris\, 1900-1939" @ Speed Art Museum (multiple dates\, March 29-June 22)
DESCRIPTION:MARCH 29 – JUNE 22\, 2025\n3rd Floor\, North Building\nVenue Curator: Erika Holmquist-Wall \nBuy Tickets \nDuring the early twentieth century\, Paris was the destination of choice for talented and independent American women determined to move beyond the limitations that restricted them at home. Drawn by a strong desire for independence\, they crossed the Atlantic to pursue personal and professional ambitions in a city viewed as the epicenter of modernity. Brilliant Exiles: American Women in Paris\, 1900-1939 recaptures the experiences of these unorthodox women who found in Paris the freedom to blaze new trails in a variety of fields\, including art\, literature\, design\, publishing\, music\, fashion\, journalism\, theater\, and dance. As foreigners in a cosmopolitan city\, they escaped the societal expectations and constraints of both the United States and France. Many used their newfound liberty as an opportunity for self-reinvention and discovery. \nPortraiture provides a revealing lens through which to view the cultural shifts American women helped instigate in Paris. Their defiance of social\, professional\, and gender norms rendered conventional modes of female portraiture obsolete. Brilliant Exiles highlights the dynamic role of portraiture in articulating the refashioned sense of self and the new conceptions of modern female identity that resulted from the interventions of American women in Parisian life. \nDespite significant differences in their circumstances\, the women in this exhibition shared many experiences and points of contact. Featuring over 85 artworks across various media and accompanied by a comprehensive catalogue\, Brilliant Exiles visually graphs the social and creative networks and points of intersection that linked these various groups\, with an emphasis on sites of sociability and production that were overseen by women. Through vivid portraits and compelling biographies\, the catalogue and exhibition recover a history that will be unfamiliar to many museum visitors\, revealing the impact that American Women had on modernist Paris\, as well as the city’s transformative effect on these brilliant exiles from the United States. \n  \nThis exhibition has been organized by the National Portrait Gallery and received Federal support from the Smithsonian American Women’s History Initiative Pool\, administered by the Smithsonian American Women’s History Museum. \n  \n  \n***Description from website

SUMMARY:Five Films by Phil Solomon @ Speed Cinema
DESCRIPTION:Five Films by Phil Solomon at Speed Cinema\nApril 6 at 12:30 pm – 1:30 pm \n\nLamplightings \nFive Films by Phil Solomon \nSunday\, April 6\, 12:30 pm \nFree\, first come\, first served \n\nA master of the alchemical nature of film\, Phil Solomon’s cinematic works explore both the surface and the depths of the celluloid image. Solomon’s frequent and anarchic use of the optical printer results in films that could only be created\, as well as screened\, with wholly physical elements. Nonetheless\, the filmmaker’s refusal of dogma led him to adopt new forms of visual storytelling over time\, resulting in the unexpected use of footage from the video game series Grand Theft Auto in his later output. \nHaving just recently passed away in 2019\, a survey of Solomon’s work is collected here in a program of five films\, including one of his most beloved works\, The Snowman. 1988-2007\, U.S.\, 16mm and digital\, 64 minutes. Recommended for 13+. \n\nThe Secret Garden \n“The Secret Garden is one of Solomon’s most exquisite films. As with Thornton and Khlar there is the shadow of a story here\, one which deals with the passage from innocence and experience and invokes equally terror and ecstasy…”—Tom Gunning\, Mecano Touring Program Catalogue \n1988\, U.S.\, 16mm\, silent\, 17 minutes. \n  \nThe Exquisite Hour \nPartly a lullaby for the dying\, partly a lament at the dusk of cinema. Based on the song by Reynaldo Hahn and Paul Verlaine. 1989-94\, U.S.\, 16mm\, 14 minutes. \n  \nClepsydra \nClepsydra is an ancient Greek water clock (literally\, “to steal water”). This film envisions the strip of celluloid going vertically through a projector as a sprocketed waterfall (random events measured in discreet units of time)\, through which the silent dreams of a young girl can barely be heard under the din of an irresistible torrent\, an irreversible torment. 1992\, U.S.\, 16mm\, silent\, 14 minutes. \n  \nThe Snowman \nA meditation on memory\, burial and decay – a belated kaddish for my father. 1995\, U.S.\, 16mm\, 8 minutes. \n  \nRehearsals for Retirement \n“A human life brought to an early stillness splashing down in oceanic oblivion searching for the depths of the sky. Darkness at the edge of town\, light at the end of the tunnel\, a stalled hearse and a souvenir from a dream. We walk in our sleep and fire walks with us. By fire we are consumed. Rehearsing for eternity\, for retirement. Life a sum of stolen moments stolen away by the Grand Theft. Next stop\, the twilight plane\, as an essence scattered\, haunting all we ever knew.”—Mark McElhatten \n2007\, U.S.\, digital\, 11 minutes. \n\nLamplightings is a free monthly program of experimental and underground film\, exploring the past and present of artists’ cinema with an emphasis on screening from 16mm or 35mm film whenever possible.
