“Playing as a series of richly textured tableaux . . . featuring full-bodied embraces, phone calls punctuated by the longing of distance, breakups, recouplings and impromptu dances. . . . Akerman achieves an aura of singular intimacy” (Patrick Preziosi).

The heartrending final installment of Mészáros’s semi-autobiographical Diary trilogy continues the journey of Juli, a young orphan, through the tumult of postwar Hungary.

Please join fellow Curator's Circle members for the reception for our newest exhibition, by Alison Knowles: A Retrospective (1960-2022), featuring a private tour with guest curator Karen Moss, artist Alison Knowles, and art historian Hannah B Higgins. 

A high point of Kinuyo Tanaka’s early career was her haunting, restrained, delicately sensual portrayal of the blind koto teacher Okoto, who is worshiped by her male servant and disciple, Sasuke.

Stephanie Cannizzo, associate curator, and Christina Yang, chief curator, explore the world of Fluxkits—mini museums, as they have sometimes been called, that owe a debt to Marcel Duchamp’s Boite en valise, which contains miniature versions of his artworks.

This passionate tropical noir, set in plantation-era Misiones, Argentina, weaves a love triangle around the class struggles of the birth of contemporary Latin America and is widely acclaimed as one the greatest Argentine films. 

Karen Moss, curator of by Alison Knowles, and Fluxus scholar and Knowles’s daughter, Hannah Higgins, offer an immersive tour of the exhibition. The art historians highlight specific works and series, addressing the trajectory of Knowles’s art, from her earliest paintings and involvement with Fluxus in the 1960s to her large-scale intermedia projects and experiments across disciplines from the 1970s to the present.

Visitors are invited to bring an everyday red object to the museum to contribute to Alison Knowles’s participatory, interactive installation Celebration Red. Her original score Celebrate every red thing asks participants to choose a single red object and place it on a red grid on the floor.

Distinguished by Kinuyo Tanaka’s iconic portrayal of a noblewoman’s harrowing fall from grace, The Life of Oharu was deemed by many critics to be among the greatest films of all time—even Mizoguchi himself considered it his masterpiece.
