  • Smith on Wry: Jack Smith, Columnist for Our Times,” Opens Feb
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Jan. 29, 2008 CONTACT: Matt Stevens [email protected] 626­405­2167 New Exhibition, “Smith on Wry: Jack Smith, Columnist for Our Times,” Opens Feb. 15, 2008 Huntington Library installation will examine the late journalist’s life and his impact on readers across Southern California SAN MARINO, Calif.—Los Angeles Times columnist Jack Smith wrote daily for most of his 42­year career with the paper, producing some 6,000 columns about life in the city. Along the way he became one of the most popular newspaper columnists in Southern California history; reading him was considered a daily “must.” He died in January 1996, just a few weeks after the appearance of his last column, on Christmas Day 1995. A new exhibition running at The Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens from Feb. 15 to May 12, 2008, takes a look at Smith the journalist, family man, and social commentator. The Huntington acquired Smith’s papers in 2005. “Jack Smith had a way of looking at mundane and everyday things and ruminating on them in ways that were accessible on the one hand and provocative on the other,” says Sara S. “Sue” Hodson, curator of literary manuscripts at The Huntington and the show’s curator. “His beat was L.A., but he wrote larger stories of the human condition, wry and pithy observations on the foibles of people in changing times.” Hodson takes a page from Smith’s own columns, dividing her exhibition into the very same themes Smith explored in his columns: his Mt. Washington neighborhood; his family and household, including a passion for birds and disdain for cats; and his vacation house in Baja, with its incomparable landlord, Mr.

  • Jimmy Breslin Was Right: There Is No More Beautiful Sight Than a Heaving Street Full of People
    Viveros-Faune, Christian. “Los Carpinteros Moonwalk through the Crack-Up,” The Village Voice, May 22, 2013. Jimmy Breslin was right: There is no more beautiful sight than a heaving street full of people. In Havana, on a sun-baked afternoon, that sensuous humanist observation goes double. Picture a Times Square flash mob mugged by the hurly-burly of New Orleans' scrappy Treme. For those who haven't visited Fidel's island, a current show at Chelsea's Sean Kelly gallery opens a window onto some of its special genius, while also offering what scholarly types might term a critical history. Courtesy of two of Cuba's greatest living artists, the duo Los Carpinteros, this exhibition—besides holding up a convex mirror to carnival culture—takes a local view of a spiny global phenomenon: the epochal disillusionment that replaced the Left's hopes and dreams for billions of Cold War losers around the world. Courtesy Sean Kelly, New York A jolt felt intensely from Cambridge to Putting a fine point on political art Chongqing, utopianism's sudden ebb hit many intellectuals, writers, and artists in the United States and Europe like heroin withdrawal. But if cold turkey for the likes of Sean Penn and Naomi Wolf meant a short stint at Western liberalism's Hazelden clinic, their Cuban counterparts, along with the island's doctors, barkeeps, and street sweepers, continue to inhabit a nightmare scenario straight out of the film Juan of the Dead. Condemned to inhabit a country where escape from history is simply not possible, Cubans now—like many Russians, Chinese, Venezuelans, Iranians, and others—pass their days like zombies, not fully inhabiting this century's ambitions and never resurrecting the glories of the century that passed.

Not one person called the police.” Forty years later, her brother Bill, who was 16 at the time of his sister’s death, decides to find the truth buried beneath the story. In the process, he uncovers a lie that transformed his life, condemned a city, and defined an era. Both a probing investigation into an iconic crime and a devastating look at the effect Kitty’s murder had on those who loved her, The Witness illuminates how much stories shape the way we see ourselves and the world around us, and how important it is that those stories are built not only on facts, but on truths. It is a film that brings healing to the family who lost so much that cold March day in Kew Gardens, and asks us &&951".5)515)15"5).",>5 Director’s Statement Like many New Yorkers, I grew up familiar with the name, “Kitty Genovese”, and the infamous story of her ."95in5(#!"),-51."553)/(!51)'(5#(!5,*.&35-.5.)5."65-5# 5#(5(5'*"#.".,65 while none called the police.
