"The exhibition will include isolated projections with orchestrated sound pieces and sculptural video displays each documenting nature's volatile state of eeriness, celebration, disembodiment and melancholy"--P. [4] of cover.
Viñetas melancólicas que reflexionan sobre el amor y el desamor que se han vuelto todo un fenómeno en las redes sociales. Las viñetas de Siempre Gótica parecen muy simples, pero están cargadas de sentimientos. Figuras leves, casi siluetas que se buscan y se abrazan en espacios mínimos pero reconocibles. Pequeñas historias de búsqueda y desencuentro, reflexiones sobre el amor y el desamor cargadas de nostalgia y melancolía, pero que siempre entregan una sensación de calidez y famliaridad. Surgidas como por catarsis y a veces gatilladas por una imagen al pasar o la letra de una canción, sus sugerentes líneas nos identifican a todos, y de ahí su éxito transversal.
To millions of fans, All About Eve represents all that's witty and wonderful in classic Hollywood movies. Its old-fashioned, larger-than-life stars--including Bette Davis, Marilyn Monroe, Anne Baxter, George Sanders, and Celeste Holm--found their best roles in Eve and its sophisticated dialogue has entered the lexicon. But there's much more to know about All About Eve. Sam Staggs has written the definitive account of the making of this fascinating movie and its enormous influence on both film and popular culture. Staggs reveals everything about the movie--from who the famous European actress Margo Channing was based on to the hot-blooded romance on-set between Bette Davis and costar Gary Merrill, from the jump-start the movie gave Marilyn Monroe's career and the capstone it put on director Joseph L. Mankeiwicz's. All About "All About Eve" is not only full of rich detail about the movie, the director, and the stars, but also about the audience who loved it when it came out and adore it to this day.
Mundos Alternos looks at science fiction in the Americas through a transcultural perspective, grounded in an understanding of "Latinidad" expressed through shared hemispheric experiences in language, culture and visual expression. If a Latin American science fiction is said to exist, the texts in this volume interrogate where that Latin America, and its science-fiction imagination, might be located. In addition to focusing on specific regions in North, Central and South America, the book's essays cross time and space, illuminating Soviet influence in Cuba, the impact of American pop culture in Mexico and the cross-pollination of European avant-garde aesthetics in Brazil. Mundos Alternos will be an indispensable resource for contemporary art curators working on Latin America, science-fiction scholars interested in visual interpretations of the genre and readers interested in science fiction, art, Latin America and the diaspora.
The Signs Pile Up: Paintings by Pedro Álvarez is the first comprehensive book to survey the paintings of Pedro Alvarez. In the U.S., the norm for both books and exhibitions that deal with artists from other regions is to present surveys, which has been the case for Cuban artists who established themselves in the 1990s, during what is called the Special Period, or Periodo Especial. In this light, it is a delight that the University of California, Riverside's Sweeney Art Gallery has the opportunity to co-publish with Smart Art Press on of the few monographs on one of the rising stars in Cuba from the 1990s."
