FINDING THE WAY BACK

Posted on 2020-02-10

Jack Cunningham (Ben Affleck) once had a life filled with promise. In high school, he was a basketball phenom with a full university scholarship, when suddenly, for reasons unknown, he walked away from the game, forfeiting his future. Now years later, Jack is spiraling down, triggered by an unspeakable loss, and drowning in the alcoholism that cost him his marriage and any hope for a better life. When he is asked to coach the basketball team at his alma mater, which has fallen far since his glory days, he reluctantly accepts, surprising no one more than himself. As the boys start to come together as a team and win, Jack may have finally found a reason to confront the demons that have derailed him. But will it be enough to fill the void, heal the deep wounds of his past, and set him on the road to redemption?

JOSÉ PARLÁ – IT’S YOURS

Posted on 2020-02-10

José Parlá: It’s Yours will be the first solo museum exhibition of the internationally renowned artist in New York City. The new paintings evoke the artist’s personal connection to the Bronx, as well as the borough’s influence, which have helped to shape how Parlá views painting history and cities around the world. José Parlá: It’s Yours is organized by guest curator Manon Slome.

While celebrating Parlá’s roots in the hip-hop energy of the Bronx, this series of paintings address the suffering caused by redlining policies, the waves of displacement imposed by gentrification, and structural racism. It’s Yours encourages viewers to question ownership in New York’s rapidly changing neighborhoods.

Parlá’s work is deeply connected to experimentation and innovation to conjure complex memory abstractions as he challenges traditional painting methods. The rich building up of surface and Parlá’s signature gestural line resemble the layers of city walls, reflecting the movement and textures of neighborhoods, the marks and traces people leave behind, and the energy and challenges of the streets. In addition to large-scale paintings in the museum’s gallery, the exhibition features Parlá’s sketchbooks and drawings from age ten to seventeen as well as site specific responses in the lobby and outdoors that seek to integrate the museum with the city.

LYDIA BLAKELEY – HOSPITALITY

Posted on 2020-02-03

Hospitality, is a solo exhibition of new paintings by Lydia Blakeley, all of which present scenes from horse races in Great Britain. They depict the characters one might see at these events including the security guards and sniffer dogs who are stationed at the entrance; waiters in the hospitality tent; and tipsy patrons, some of whom have passed out. As a group, the paintings are a patchwork of scenes at the races with the characters captured in tabloid moments of enjoyment, distraction and oblivion.

RAF SIMONS – SMILEY INTARSIA KNIT SWEATER

Posted on 2020-02-03

Made from supple virgin wool, the sweater comes in both black and white colorways. Apart from its distinctive high-cut crop at the waist, the silhouette has been built with a wide collar, dropped shoulders and broad cuffs. A large Smiley Intarsia motif is placed at the center of the sweater with a subtle tilt and has been shifted slightly to the left side of the body. In the middle of the motif’s right eye, Raf Simons’ cursive “R” logo sees a thin red embroidery, adding a nuanced accent to the black and white shades. As a finishing touch, the sweater comes with contrasting stitching at the seams to accentuate the silhouette’s drapey fit.
