"Brilliant Exiles: American Women in Paris, 1900-1939" @ Speed Art Museum (multiple dates, March 29-June 22)
2025-03-29 00:00 - 2025-06-22 23:59 | Speed Art Museum, 2035 S 3rd St, Louisville, KY, 40208, United States

3rd Floor, North Building
Venue Curator: Erika Holmquist-Wall

During 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.
Portraiture 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.
Despite 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.

This 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.

THE GLASS MENAGERIE, by TENNESSEE WILLIAMS
Amanda Wingfield is a faded, tragic remnant of Southern gentility who lives in poverty in a dingy St. Louis apartment with her son, Tom, and her daughter, Laura. Amanda strives to give meaning and direction to her life and the lives of her children, though her methods are ineffective and irritating. Tom is driven nearly to distraction by his mother’s nagging and seeks escape in alcohol and the world of the movies. Laura also lives in her illusions.
She is crippled, and this defect, intensified by her mother’s anxiety to see her married, has driven her more and more into herself. The crux of the action comes when Tom invites a young man of his acquaintance to take dinner with the family. Jim, the caller, is a nice ordinary fellow who is at once pounced upon by Amanda as a possible husband for Laura. In spite of her crude and obvious efforts to entrap the young man, he and Laura manage to get along very nicely, and momentarily Laura is lifted out of herself into a new world. But this crashes when, toward the end, Jim explains that he is already engaged.
The world of illusion that Amanda and Laura have striven to create in order to make life bearable collapses about them. Tom, too, at the end of his tether, at last leaves home.

Five Films by Phil Solomon @ Speed Cinema
2025-04-06 12:30 - 13:30 | Speed Art Museum, 2035 S 3rd St, Louisville, KY, 40208, United States
Five Films by Phil Solomon at Speed Cinema
April 6 at 12:30 pm – 1:30 pm

Lamplightings
Five Films by Phil Solomon
Sunday, April 6, 12:30 pm
Free, first come, first served

A 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.
Having 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+.

The Secret Garden
“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
1988, U.S., 16mm, silent, 17 minutes.

The Exquisite Hour
Partly 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.

Clepsydra
Clepsydra 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.

The Snowman
A meditation on memory, burial and decay – a belated kaddish for my father. 1995, U.S., 16mm, 8 minutes.

Rehearsals for Retirement
“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
2007, U.S., digital, 11 minutes.

Lamplightings 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.

KMAC Couture 2025: Art Walks the Runway
2025-04-19 19:00 - 2025-04-20 00:00 | KMAC, 715 W Main Street, Louisville, KY, 40202, United States
KMAC Contemporary Art Museum, located in historic downtown on Museum Row is Louisville’s premier contemporary art museum. Through exhibitions, education, and outreach, KMAC works to connect people to art and creative practice. KMAC is where Art is the Big Idea and Craft is the Process.
About the event:
KMAC Couture is a wearable art runway show presented as the signature fundraiser for KMAC that provides funding for the Museum’s education programs and exhibits. KMAC Couture launched in 2013 as a distinct fashion event that allowed KMAC to showcase its unique position as a contemporary art museum that celebrates ideas at the crossroads of art, craft, and design.
As KMAC Couture enters the teenage years, our 2025 runway celebrates the occasion of its auspicious thirteenth birthday with a tribute to all things lucky. All looks for this edition of Art Walks the Runway will pay homage to the charms and superstitions that offer hope and allow us to explore that sometimes all too rare of human faculties—the ability to dream and to think big!
Here is a preview of the show
Some participants over the years have invented their own textiles and employed unconventional materials that help push the boundaries of wearability, constructing work that can be both costume and sculpture. Others have created fantastical garments with a more functional and durable quality, but that are likewise extraordinary in how they explore the range of possibilities for artistic expression through the items we wear, canvasing the human body in limitless ways.
KMAC Couture will return home to Main Street for 2025! The event will take place in front of KMAC Contemporary Art Museum, in a tented area that spans the 700 block of Main Street!
We at KMAC are excited to see you there to celebrate KMAC Couture “Lucky#13” and look forward to seeing you on April 19th at 7:15 p.m.
EVENT DETAILS:
Date: Saturday April 19th, 2025

The CTA uses proceeds from the Fair to fund summer concerts in Willow Park and to make donations to the Highlands/Shelby Park branch of the Louisville Free Public Library, Highlands Community Ministries, and other local charities.

“Anti-folk singer-songwriter, political activist, feminist icon and LGBTQ+ rights campaigner: it should be surprising that Ani DiFranco has also been a pioneering force in independent music for over three decades.”—Andy Fyfe, Mojo
In the early 90s, Ani DiFranco crashed onto the music scene as a thundering new voice. Unapologetically bisexual, political, and feminist, Ani became a worldwide phenomenon when she founded the first “woman-run non-corporate queer-happy” label, Righteous Babe records, beating the male-dominated music industry at their own game. The press called her “an entrepreneurial wonder” and “the industry’s worst nightmare.” Ani simply called herself a folk singer, dedicated to art, activism and staying true to herself, no matter the cost.
The fiery portrait, 1-800-ON-HER-OWN takes you on a wild cinematic road trip through Ani DiFranco’s punk-folk past to her life today as a passionate activist and groundbreaking indie rock star. Throughout the ride, she’s brutally honest, famously foul-mouthed and totally hilarious. Her daily challenges resonate as an enduring, inspiring musical icon and a relatable contemporary “everywoman” with her own epic fails and hard-won victories. 2024, U.S., DCP, 77 minutes. Recommended for 16+
