Another show not to be missed is the extraordinary Stanley Kubrick Exhibition on view through June 30, 2013.
According to LACMA,"Stanley Kubrick was known for exerting complete artistic control over his projects; in doing so, he reconceived the genres in which he worked. The exhibition covers the breadth of Kubrick’s practice, beginning with his early photographs for Look magazine, taken in the 1940s, and continuing with his groundbreaking directorial achievements of the 1950s through the 1990s. His films are represented through a selection of annotated scripts, production photography, lenses and cameras, set models, costumes, and props. In addition, the exhibition explores Napoleon and The Aryan Papers, two projects that Kubrick never completed, as well as the technological advances developed and utilized by Kubrick and his team. By featuring this legendary film auteur and his oeuvre as the focus of his first retrospective in the context of an art museum, the exhibition reevaluates how we define the artist in the 21st century, and simultaneously expands upon LACMA’s commitment to exploring the intersection of art and film."

ReplyDeleteIt's an extraordinary exhibition, Iris. It will be traveling so hopefully you will be able to see it-- they also put out a wonderful exhibition catalog that I picked up at Amazon for a great price. I highly recommend it!
