Just a few notices of interest...
...and just because school is out for the summer doesn't mean you can't keep the dialogue going...

Eve Sussman
West Coast premiere of her "The Rape of the Sabine Women"
Begins May 1, 2008 through June 27, 2008
One of my favorite artists...here's a blurb from the SF MOMA web:

Eve Sussman and the Rufus Corporation, 2006, 82 min.
Fridays, 3:00 p.m.
Phyllis Wattis Theater
SFMOMA is pleased to host the West Coast premiere of the acclaimed video musical The Rape of the Sabine Women. The work recasts Rome's founding myth of abduction and peaceful settlement as a chaotic fall from midcentury idealism. Constructed as a 1960s period piece, the film presents the Romans as government agents, the Sabines as butchers' daughters, and their union as an affluent, International Style idyll. Inverting the Roman source, the piece tracks not the origins of empire, but the end of utopia. The May 01 and 02 programs feature live musical performances, and the May 03 program includes a panel discussion.

Portions of this film contain nudity and violent imagery that may not be appropriate for all viewers. This film is not rated.
