SUMMARY:Metamorphosis: Chinese Imagination and Transformation
DESCRIPTION:Opening day of a new exhibition that highlights works by 28 contemporary artists of Chinese descent\, who explore themes of personal\, cultural\, historical and material metamorphosis in dynamic and innovative ways. Across painting\, sculpture\, photography\, animation and installation art\, these works by established and emerging artists of different generations and backgrounds use experimentation to draw on both Eastern and Western art-making practices and materials. Many of the works will be seen in the U.S. for the first time. Important commissions include new paintings by Sun Xun and an immersive Dream Chamber by Bingyi. The exhibition is organized very loosely around four themes: “Metamorphosis of the Body and Self”\, “Metamorphosis of the Environment and Natural World”\, “Historical and Cultural Metamorphosis”\, and “Spiritual Metamorphosis”.

SUMMARY:Force of Evil
DESCRIPTION:Film screening: “Force of Evil” (1948) is Abraham Polonsky’s searing portrait of corruption and conscience in postwar New York. John Garfield stars as a Wall Street lawyer ensnared in the city’s numbers racket\, torn between moral reckoning and ruthless ambition. Shot on location in Lower Manhattan and the Bronx\, “Force of Evil” portrays New York as both a glittering cathedral of commerce and a shadowed landscape of decay. Blacklisted soon after the film’s release\, Polonsky infused the story with a political urgency and human complexity that feel startlingly contemporary. Paired with George Barnes’s evocative cinematography and the film’s lyrical\, hard-edged dialogue\, it is a modern tragedy of greed\, betrayal and the corrupted promise of the American dream. Following the screening\, film critics Imogen Sara Smith (“In Lonely Places: Film Noir Beyond the City”) and Geoffrey O’Brien (“Hardboiled America: Lurid Paperbacks and the Masters of Noir”) will discuss the film’s artistry and enduring relevance — from its politically charged origins to its influence on later generations of filmmakers who saw noir not only as style\, but as social commentary.

SUMMARY:Noirvember Film: The Breaking Point
DESCRIPTION:Each November\, movie fans celebrate the hallmark antiheroes\, femme fatales\, moral complexities\, and the stunning black & white cinematography of film noir. Free popcorn will be served\, and a discussion will follow each screening. In The Breaking Point (Michael Curtiz\, 1950\, 97 minutes) John Garfield plays Harry Morgan\, a charter boat captain who takes on dangerous cargo\, then faces criminal propositions and playful come-ons\, stretching both his morality and his marriage. Based on Ernest Hemingway’s To Have and Have Not\, Hemingway himself called it the best film adaptation of any of his books and The New York Times said “all of the character\, color and cynicism of Mr. Hemingway’s lean and hungry tale are wrapped up in this realistic picture.”
