  • Painting in the 21St Century PR

    Painting in the 21St Century PR

    Site:Brooklyn Gallery Hanae Kawai - Memory Recorder Painting in the 21st Century Juried by Stephen Henry Madoff Opening Reception: Friday, September 21st, 6–9PM September 21st – October 21st, 2018 165 7th Street, Brooklyn, New York Site:Brooklyn Gallery is pleased to present Painting in the 21st Century, an international open call for submission juried by Steven Henry Madoff. Did painting, as some have argued, reach a dead end with the culmination of abstraction in the late 20th century? If anything, the opposite seems to be true. Representation and abstraction, historically, were not, and are not, total opposites. Abstraction almost inevitably has representational qualities (as Jackson Pollock’s work demonstrates). To look at the issue from a different direction, abstracted guration was the hallmark of move- ments like Post-Impressionism. As much of this exhibition demonstrates, abstraction and representation are often vitally intertwined. This show seeks to illuminate some of these interactions and dilemmas, by showing a selection of contemporary painting, in all of its variety and in- ventiveness. While the work is from all across the world, with a number of styles and social commitments, nevertheless, the exhibition, has a feeling of cohesion and direction. What stands out most is the interplay between the effects of new media (especially social networks such as Instagram), the verities of brush and canvas, and the ever-present tensions between guration and abstraction. Speci cally, many of the works engage by giv- ing the viewer a feeling of abstraction anthropomorphized, touching on themes of trans-humanism and the future of the body as a unitary, stable, whole.

All rights reserved iii ABSTRACT Flipping the Script: Gabriela Silang’s Legacy through Stagecraft is a chronicle of the scriptwriting and staging process for Bannuar, a historical adaptation about the life of Gabriela Silang (1731-1763) produced by Dominican University of California’s (DUC) Filipino student club (Kapamilya) for their annual Pilipino Cultural Night (PCN). The 9th annual show was scheduled for April 5, 2020. Due to the limitations of stagecraft, implications of COVID-19, and shelter-in-place orders, the scriptwriters made executive decisions on what to omit or adapt to create a well-rounded script.

  • Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and Feminist Politics of Offence

    Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and Feminist Politics of Offence

    KATRIN HORN “PERIOD SEX”: CRAZY EX-GIRLFRIEND AND FEMINIST POLITICS OF OFFENCE When cartoon versions of the supporting cast call the main character of The CW’s Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (2015–) exactly that – a crazy ex-girlfriend – in the opening credits of season one, the offended Rebecca Bunch (played by co-creator Rachel Bloom) vehemently protests: “the situation is a lot more nuanced than that!” TV critics mostly agree, calling the show “witty, well-acted, brazenly inventive, and a pleasure to watch” (Bastién 2017) or simply “The Best Show on TV [...] that demonstrates the near-total creative freedom of TV’s latest evolutionary period better than any other” (Zoller Seitz 2016). A Slate-review that proclaims it “one of the most critically acclaimed programs on broadcast television,” however, also notes that Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (CXG) is not “among the lowest [rated], but consistently in the absolute last spot, almost as if it’s trying to make a point” (Wilson 2018). Headlines like “4 reasons why ‘Crazy Ex- Girlfriend’ is the best show you’re not watching (Fitzpatrick 2015) are therefore a staple of the show’s critical reception. The explanation usually given – “Hate the title? Us too […]” (Pandell 2016) – is that show’s title, “a sexist term,” as the credit sequence acknowledges, is so offensive it repels most potential viewers. The embrace of offensiveness in the “Subversive Show with the Terrible Name” (Lenker 2016), however, does not stop there. It instead extents to narrative as well as aesthetic levels. As such, the title is not so much ‘terrible’ as it is telling: it proclaims the show’s reliance on offence, which is used – this article argues – as a tool of feminist critique of contemporary modes of representation of women, romance, and mental illness.
