Tamara Johnson and Trey Burns

Regarding the impermanent object — this is a concept we are constantly thinking and shaping with each exhibition. Sweet Pass functions differently than traditional public art spaces which are often large-scale, permanent, and funded by allocated government construction budgets. Our goal is to give value to the idea of impermanence, temporality, and non-monumentality. Tamara Johnson and Trey Burns, November 11, 2019, interview with Colette Copeland for Glasstire

Jamal Cyrus

River Bends to Gulf (Double Time) is a meditation on the city of New Orleans as a sonic territory, and speculates on the flow of the river, and what was shipped up and down it, as a direct influence on the musical culture of the area. I am exploring the idea that there are cities with crossroads of waterways and as we know crossroads has an important place within the cultures of the African Diaspora. Jamal Cyrus

Happening

“With clear-eyed poise, the director Audrey Diwan captures the wrenching loneliness that can come with terminating an unwanted pregnancy—and how judgment of such a choice can be even more crushing than the possibility of breaking an unjust law.” Shirley Li, The Atlantic.

Audrey Diwan’s Venice Golden Lion winner revolves around a bright college student in early 1960s France who finds her emancipation threatened when she gets pregnant with no avenues for legal abortion.

Cyrano

James McAvoy (X-MenAtonement) returns to the stage in an inventive new adaptation of Cyrano de Bergerac, broadcast live to cinemas from the West End in London.

Fierce with a pen and notorious in combat, Cyrano almost has it all – if only he could win the heart of his true love Roxane. There’s just one big problem: he has a nose as huge as his heart. Will a society engulfed by narcissism get the better of Cyrano – or can his mastery of language set Roxane’s world alight?

Henry V

Kit Harington (Game of Thrones) plays the title role in Shakespeare’s thrilling study of nationalism, war, and the psychology of power. Fresh to the throne, King Henry V launches England into a bloody war with France. When his campaign encounters resistance, this inexperienced new ruler must prove he is fit to guide his country.

Book of Dust

Set twelve years before his epic His Dark Materials trilogy, this gripping adaptation revisits Phillip Pullman’s fantastical world in which waters are rising and storms are brewing.

Two young people and their dæmons, with everything at stake, find themselves at the center of a terrifying manhunt. In their care is a tiny child called Lyra Belacqua, and in that child lies the fate of the future. And as the waters rise around them, powerful adversaries conspire for mastery of Dust: salvation to some, the source of infinite corruption to others.

Petite Maman

“Is the film a shivery gothic? Sci-fi? A fairytale? A little of each and entirely itself, a brief masterpiece of parents and childhood, past and future.” Danny Leigh, Financial Times.
