JOSÉ PARLÁ – SURFACE BODY / ACTION SPACE

Posted on 2015-09-14

José Parlá has emerged as one of the most innovative painters of his generation, having spent decades establishing a unique style that transmutes the language of cities worldwide. Parlá’s experience, from 1980’s Miami, to friendships with legendary artists of the 1970’s and 1980’s New York scene, adds a potent and personal undercurrent to his painterly engagement with the history of American Abstract Art.

In Surface Body / Action Space, Parlá produces exuberant paintings and sculptures that historicize the duality of his identity and contextualize his work in Neo-Expressionism and Realism. The artist allegorizes painterly gesture of texture as the body and form of the works, and writing gesture as a performance aspect. Both paintings and sculptures depict political connections between the body as government and its extremities as the people.

In this exhibition, Parlá investigates the history of 20th century painting and its impact on the duality of his Cuban American heritage. His investigations link the historical perspective of painters like Cuban artist Wifredo Lam, the American Abstract Expressionists Clifford Still and Cy Twombly, the international Italian artist Mimmo Rotella, Turkish artist Burhan Dogançay, and the Spanish painter Antoni Tàpies.

Opposite – Habana y Cuarteles, 2015

Exhibition runs through to October 31st, 2015

LIFE

Posted on 2015-09-14

LIFE tells the story of photographer Dennis Stock (Robert Pattinson) who convinced a rebellious young actor on the cusp of stardom, James Dean (Dane DeHaan) to allow him to shoot him for LIFE Magazine. The men take a trip from LA to Dean’s hometown of Fairmont, Indiana, via Times Square, New York so that Stock could, in his words, capture Dean in all the environments that had “affected and shaped the unique character”.

While Stock thinks he’s capturing a star in the moment before he breaks; in fact, he’s documenting Dean’s last moments of intimacy and simplicity. In the process of their journey, a deep affection and improbable friendship gradually develops between the two young men. Their trip would result in some of the most iconic images of the age and a new breed of film star.

99 HOMES

Posted on 2015-09-14

In this timely thriller, charismatic and ruthless businessman, Rick Carver (Academy nominee Michael Shannon), is making a killing by repossessing homes – gaming the real estate market, Wall Street banks and the US government. When he evicts Dennis Nash (Golden Globe nominee Andrew Garfield), a single father trying to care for his mother (Academy Award nominee Laura Dern) and young son (newcomer Noah Lomax), Nash becomes so desperate to provide for his family that he goes to work for Carver – the very man who evicted him in the first place. Carver promises Nash a way to regain his home and earn security for his family, but slyly seduces him into a lifestyle of wealth and glamour. It is a deal-with-the-devil that comes with an increasingly high cost – on Carver’s orders, Nash must evict families from their homes. As Nash falls deeper into Carver’s web, he finds his situation grows more brutal and dangerous than he ever imagined.
