“It's a drama of resilient women, thoughtless men and crushingly unrealized dreams, told with supple grace, deep feeling and an empathy that extends in every direction.“ Justin Chang, Los Angeles Times. Rio de Janeiro, 1950. Two inseparable sisters living at home with their conservative parents are separated by their father and forced to live apart. They take control of their individual destinies, while never giving up hope of finding each other. This tropical melodrama is from the director of Madame Satã.
The history of art has collapsed under the weight of the contemporary world. Artists and writers now must ask fundamental questions anew: “What defines art? What is the purpose of writing about it? And, facing our current tumultuous reality, why bother with art at all?” Jarrett Earnest
Although over the years the studio has developed a highly diverse portfolio of work, my personal interests have shifted strongly towards work in the public realm and cultural projects focused on opportunities for underserved communities. Wendy Evans Joseph, FAIA
Wendy Evans Joseph, the founder of Studio Joseph, presents “No Borders, No Boundaries” for this special Tuesday Evenings presentation in conjunction with the annual Fort Worth AIA Design Awards.
We practice on the fringes where it’s DIY or die. Lindsay Starr and Daedelus Hoffman
We may no longer be able to lay claim to a new avant-garde or to sweeping historic art movements in this pluralistic environment, but we can adapt and advance our understanding of what art is and how it functions in relation to how we perceive and experience it. Ian Pedigo, Modal Environs Manifesto, Modal Environs – Art as Expanding Microcosm
Frida Kahlo once said, “I am my own muse. I am the subject I know best.” It’s a sentiment that also eloquently describes Martine Gutierrez, a transgender Latinx artist who routinely performs the triple roles of subject, maker, and muse in her own eclectic body of work. Miss Rosen, VICE, September 21, 2018
