ArtsThursdays: "Proximity Continuum" screening

<a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/dance-film-screening-atmospheric-encounters-visualizing-the-invisible-tickets-981961983727?aff=oddtdtcreator">RSVP requested</a>; free and open to the public. Join us for the premiere screening of a short film directed by Malakhai Pearson (<a href="https://artlab.harvard.edu/directory/malakhai-pearson/">2024 Mead Production Lab artist-in-residence</a>) and Joseph Zeal-Henry (<a href="https://artlab.harvard.edu/directory/joseph-zeal-henry/">2024 Loeb/ArtLab Fellow</a>.) The directors will be present and joined by choreographer Grisha Coleman. Proximity Continuum is a reinterpretation of a rehearsal of the dance performance Proximity through the lens of Black Boston creativity. The film explores the thematic explorations of sound culture mediating the world of movement and spatial design, creating a common ground for the formation of new narratives within the conception of the Black Atlantic, specifically bridging shared culture between diasporic communities in Britain, the United States, and beyond. This screening is part of <a href="https://www.harvard.edu/artsthursdays/">ArtsThursdays</a>, a university-wide initiative supported by the Harvard University Committee on the Arts (HUCA).

ArtsThursdays: Silkroad Presents Train Station Trio with Rumbarroco

Featuring: Mike Block, cello Edward Pérez, bass Balla Kouyaté, balafon Silkroad presents&nbsp;Train Station&nbsp;Trio, a series generating new music as part of Silkroad’s multi-year American Railroad project, an initiative led by Artistic Director Rhiannon Giddens that illuminates the impact the African American, Chinese, Indigenous, Irish, and other immigrant communities had on the creation of the U.S. Transcontinental Railroad and connecting railways in North America. In this one-of-a-kind Boston event, a trio of Silkroad artists will explore untold stories from these communities, contextualizing the railroad through music and reminding us of America’s intricately rich history. During this event, we will also hear from Boston-based Latin Baroque ensemble Rumbarroco, who will tell a critical part of the American Railroad story that was missing in our narrative from the Mexican community. ArtsThursdays is a university-wide initiative sponsored by Harvard University Committee on the Arts (HUCA).

Psychedelic Cinema Series: "Head" screening

Head. Directed by Bob Rafelson. With Peter Tork, Davy Jones, Micky Dolenz. US, 11968, 35mm, color, 86 min. Head takes its central cue not from A Hard Day’s Night—which came out four years earlier to great acclaim and probably a central inspiration for the Monkees’ TV show—but from the psychedelic films that were now embedded in the cultural landscape. Like the Beatles’ own psychedelic entry Magical Mystery Tour, Head received a poor popular and critical reception upon release. However, co-creator of the TV show (and thus, the band itself), Bob Rafelson equipped his Monkees’ vehicle with its own defense system designed to neutralize this very critique: one of the central themes of the recursive, surreal series of scenes within scenes is the Monkees’ unreality as a band and their inability to break through to the real world. “Well, if it isn’t God’s gift to eight-year-olds,” a character greets the band, encapsulating the film’s self-deprecating hostility to its own fanbase and success. As “a manufactured image with no philosophies,” the film mocks the very stardom and show business creating it, intercut with news footage of the Vietnam War—ultimately recognizing the unimportance of the band, the film and its audience in the face of death. – Sidney Dritz Preceded by: Lapis. Directed by James Whitney. US, 1966, 16mm, color, 10 min. James Whitney’s fascination with Eastern mysticism, Jungian psychology and modern science gave birth to Lapis, an intricate mandala metamorphosizing in sync to a raga by Ravi Shankar. To create this kaleidoscopic nirvana, James Whitney’s brother and fellow filmmaker John retrofitted a mechanical analog computer used by the military as an anti-aircraft gun controller—the same type used for John’s animation of the swirling title sequence in Vertigo. The complex machine allowed James to meticulously move, rotate and overlap his paintings on glass plates while filming them—using the tools of war to depict a unified and harmonious inner vision: a meditative, entrancing circle of seemingly infinite undulating patterns. Forsaking the reigning rectangle of the silver screen, Lapis seems not only an ecstatic cinematic experience but a cosmic retreat. – Brittany Gravely This event is part of ArtsThursdays, a university-wide initiative supported by Harvard University Committee on the Arts (HUCA).

Opening Celebration: Made in Germany? Art and Identity in a Global Nation, featuring artist Henrike Naumann

This event requires registration; see further details below. We invite you to the opening celebration of our special exhibition&nbsp;<a href="https://harvardartmuseums.org/exhibitions/6286/made-in-germany-art-and-identity-in-a-global-nation" target="_blank">Made in Germany? Art and Identity in a Global Nation</a>, on view from September 13, 2024 through January 5, 2025. Following an introduction by exhibition curator Lynette Roth, Berlin-based artist Henrike Naumann will present a lecture-performance. <a href="https://henrikenaumann.com/en/" target="_blank">Henrike Naumann</a>&nbsp;is a 2024/25 fellow at the Berlin Artistic Research Program. Born in Zwickau in the German Democratic Republic in 1984, Naumann experienced Neo-Nazis as a dominant youth culture in the 1990s. In many of her works, including&nbsp;Ostalgie&nbsp;(2019), which is featured in&nbsp;Made in Germany?, she arranges furniture and objects to create spaces that reflect on sociopolitical problems, exploring the friction between opposing political opinions via personal everyday aesthetics. Following the discussion, guests are invited to visit the exhibition on Level 3. This event is part of ArtsThursdays, a university-wide initiative supported by Harvard University Committee on the Arts (HUCA).
