JUNE 29–OCTOBER 16

NEW EXHIBITION

MATRIX 261 features the work of Stockholm-based artist Cecilia Edefalk (b. 1954), whose work probes the uncertain nature of historical memory, time, and the visionary role of light. While Edefalk’s practice is intuitive and deeply personal, she variously explores notions of originality and multiplicity through a consistent use of repeti- tion and seriality. Her attentive and reflective approach is evident in her paintings, photographs, watercolors, and sculptures.

Edefalk’s decades-long engagement with nature becomes manifest in the works included in this exhibition. For several years the artist has been visiting a dandelion- filled meadow near her house, capturing it with her camera in various moments of sunlight and states of bloom. In one monumental photograph on view in the exhibition we see a hand tenderly holding a perfect, spherical seed head before the wind carries the seeds away. Similarly, in the late 1970s Edefalk set out on a journey across Europe with a friend to document and draw coastal wildflowers she encountered in areas of historical significance in England, Italy, Spain, and Portugal. The flowers and plants she carefully captures in watercolor act as her lens onto these ancient landscapes; a selection of twenty of these watercolors appear in the exhibition. Birch trees, which are quite common in Sweden, are another subject that has inspired the artist for many years. A series of cast bronze sculptures included in MATRIX 261 were inspired by a birch tree she witnessed falling to the ground—an experience she recounts as a disquieting moment of destruction and decay. She then molded dozens of sculptures from its branches, fixing her experience of this fleeting moment into concrete forms.

Other paintings, sculptures, and photographs displayed in MATRIX 261 point to her interest in historical sculpture, in particular a Roman marble mask of Marcus PUBLIC PROGRAM Aurelius that she encountered in the Malmö Konstmuseum. This spawned the series WEDNESDAY / 6.29.16 / 6:30 of paintings To view the painting from within (2002), in addition to a related series Opening reception and gallery walkthrough of photographs, To view the painting from outside, which shows the artist’s eye with the artist and curator. traveling around the mask, capturing shifting perspectives. Her exploration of the Included with admission mask continues in another series of bronze sculptures that combine the mask with leaves and pieces of tree bark. In each work, Edefalk captures the evanescence of subjects that often exude a mystical and fragile quality marked by time and space. This is Edefalk’s first solo exhibition on the West Coast and her first in a US institution in ten years.

Cecilia Edefalk / MATRIX 261 is organized by Apsara DiQuinzio, curator of modern and contemporary art and Phyllis C. Wattis MATRIX Curator. The MATRIX Program is made possible by a generous endowment gift from Phyllis C. Wattis and the continued support of the BAMPFA Trustees.

Architecture of Life

THROUGH MAY 29

CONTINUING EXHIBITION

Architecture of Life explores the ways that architecture—as con- cept, metaphor, and practice—illuminates various aspects of life experience: the nature of the self and psyche, the fundamental structures of reality, and the power of the imagination to reshape our world. Occupying every gallery in the new building, the exhibi- tion comprises over two hundred works of art in a wide range of media, as well as scientific illustrations and architectural drawings Architecture of Life is organized by BAMPFA Director Lawrence Rinder. The exhibition is and models, made over the past two thousand years.

FRANCOPHONIA ALEXANDER SOKUROV (FRANCE/GERMANY/NETHERLANDS, 2015) EAST BAY PREMIERE! FRIDAY / 5.6.16 / 8:15 SUNDAY / 5.8.16 / 6:00 WEDNESDAY / 5.18.16 / 7:00

“A meditation on art and humanity.” THE GUARDIAN (Francofonia). The Russian master Alexander Sokurov (Russian Ark, Alexandra, Faust) returns with another literal museum piece, a portrait of the Louvre that extends into a transcendent investigation of art, life, and cultural and political power. A trip across hundreds of years of European and Russian history and culture, Francophonia gives life not only to the artworks inside the Louvre, but to the history of the museum itself, especially during World War II, when the German invasion threatened its very existence. Combining documentary and philosophical musings with fictional re-enactments, Sokurov poses a simple, yet profound query: “What is more important, culture or life?” JASON SANDERS

Written by Sokurov. Photographed by Bruno Delbonnel. With Louis-Do de Lencquesaing, Benjamin Utzerath, Vincent Nemeth, Johanna Korthals Altes. (87 mins, In French, German, and Russian with English subtitles, Color, DCP, From Music Box Films)

I KNEW HER WELL ANTONIO PIETRANGELI (ITALY, 1965) 4K DIGITAL RESTORATION SATURDAY / 5.21.16 / 4:00 SUNDAY / 5.22.16 / 8:00 FRIDAY / 5.27.16 / 6:30

“Brilliantly entertaining.” ALEXANDER PAYNE

“Astonishing and tragic.” KRISTIN M. JONES, THE WALL STREET JOURNAL (Io la conoscevo bene). Following the gorgeous, seemingly liberated Adriana as she chases her dreams in the Rome of La dolce vita, I Knew Her Well is at once a delightful immersion in the popular music and style of 1960s Italy and a biting critique of its sexual politics and celebrity culture. Over several intimate episodes, with just about every one featuring a different man, a new hairstyle, and an outfit to match, the unsung director Antonio Pietrangeli composes a deft, seriocomic character study that never strays from its complicated central figure. I Knew Her Well is a thrilling rediscovery, by turns funny, tragic, and altogether jaw-dropping. JANUS FILMS

Janus Films is proud to present the US theatrical premiere of a new 4K digital restoration undertaken by the Criterion Collection in partnership with the Cineteca di Bologna.
