Her elusive enigmatic films combine the intense ritualistic performativity with a rigorous yet detached photographic approach. Her 16mm film, \u003cem\u003eMinotaur, \u003c\/em\u003ewill run approximately 10 minutes and pays tribute to the work of dancer Anna Halprin, one of the key pioneers of postmodern dance and movement along with Trisha Brown, Simone Forti, and Yvonne Rainer. Halprin's life and work has had a profound influence on Martin in the implicit sensuality of the protagonists in her films and in their demonstration of a heightened awareness of the body and its relationship to other objects and the surrounding space. This film is centered on a Halprin dance based on the sculpture, \u003cem\u003eMinotaur \u003c\/em\u003eby Auguste Rodin from 1886 (also known as\u003cem\u003e Faun and Nymph\u003c\/em\u003e), a work possessing intensely erotic content (it depicts the part-man\/part-bull figure from Greek mythology with a naked young female figure in its grasp.) Martin's \u003cem\u003eMinotaur \u003c\/em\u003eextends her interweaving of highly conceptualized and choreographed physical movement; complexly layered stagecraft provoking unconventional formal relationships; direct allusions to modernist art history; and editing and cinematographic techniques evoking a broad range of the histories of both mainstream and experimental filmmaking.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\nAccording to Martin: \"Minotaur will combine three spaces of artistic production: the two-dimensional images of Rodin's Minotaur sculpture in various books; the three-dimensional sculpture itself; and the four-dimensional dance choreographed by Anna Halprin based on the sculpture. It will also feature three spaces of context: Anna Halprin's face looking at the books; the dancer's souvenirs, objects and photographs (skeleton, clay objects, photographs of bodies); and the natural surroundings beyond Halprin's dance studio, including trees, burnt out trunks, etc. These six spaces will be connected through formally inventive edits and physically inventive transitions.\"\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\nDaria Martin was born in 1973 in San Francisco, and lives and works in London.

In 1951 she designed “Casa de Vidro” (“Glass House”), her first built work, where she and her husband would live for the rest of their lives. She also designed the Museu de Arte de São Paulo (São Paulo Art Museum), a landmark of Latin American modernist architecture which opened in 1968.

Themes of memory, love, economic inequality, and political upheaval are threaded throughout de Andrade’s work, which is often situated in Recife, his hometown in the northeast corner of Brazil. By localizing his art, de Andrade makes powerful statements about many of the issues facing Brazil’s working class, including environmental degradation, urban blight, political inequity, and the loss of traditions and cultures. His multifaceted approach, in which he often collaborates with his fellow citizens, makes his work accessible, personal, and always steeped in humanity.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n144 pages with 100 illustrations, copublished by the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago and DelMonico Books•Prestel.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cem\u003eJonathas de Andrade: One to One\u003c\/em\u003e was organized by the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, curated by José Esparza Chong Cuy, former Pamela Alper Associate Curator, with Nina Wexelblatt, Curatorial Assistant, and presented in the Bergman Family Gallery at the MCA, April 13–August 25, 2019. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mcachicago.org\/Exhibitions\/2019\/Jonathas-De-Andrade\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eLearn more\u003c\/a\u003e.\n\n\n\n","brand":"MCA - CATALOGS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42520498372851,"sku":"9783791358390","price":4.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/3324\/5171\/products\/13400-DEFAULT-l.jpg?v=1646752864"},{"product_id":"sharon-lockhart","title":"Sharon Lockhart","description":"Sharon Lockhart's films emphasize the photographic basis of the moving image, often using a fixed perspective to capture unexpected movements and human reactions in a given situation.
