DERNIER JOUR | LAST DAY
•Lucien Clergue – The Intimate Picasso
Lucien Clergue’s photographs of Picasso are social documents as much as they are portraits, reflecting a very particular time, place and sensibility in Twentieth Century history.
They also reveal the nature of a friendship between artists: an unwavering respect and affection betwixt the photographer artist and his subject, the most influential artist of the twentieth century. For all of the images conjured by the name Picasso, it is rare to see him presented as Lucien Clergue captures him: human, generous and humane.

These candid, curious shots of Picasso going about the business of being alive are definitely created by a poet. (Very early on in
Lucien’s career, Jean Cocteau, one of his first employers and, along with Picasso, devoted mentors, correctly labeled him a “poet with a camera.) After viewing this collection of images, it seems only appropriate that such a “poet” should be one of the few allowed to take pictures of such an artist.

Born in Arles, Southern France, Lucien Clergue is an internationally renowned photographer whose work is included in numerous public and private collections.
A hardbound 104-page catalogue accompanies this exhibition.

•“SHOWCASE TRILOGY”
An innovative piece that mixes contemporary dance with theater, music and film
7:30PM

“Showcase Trilogy” brings to life stories of beauty, the passage of time and the idea of emptiness. Using the music of Igor Stravinsky, Maurice Ravel and Piotr Tchaikovsky, “Showcase Trilogy” is a dance in three parts.
The first, “Beauté plastique” (Formal Beauty), draws on projections, music and movement to create a sense of beauty in white space.
The second, “Laps” (Time Lapse) is a male dance solo about confronting time in a half-real, half-absurd environment.
The third, “Let’s Dance,” is an exuberant and amusing finale that brings us back to the possibility of community through music and dance. Showcase Trilogy creates a world of beauty, strength and delight with a bit of humor. It is both complex and refreshingly simple.

CINEMA
7:30pm / SERIES: The Scarred Hearts of Philippe Garrel
•Le Lit De La Vierge
In the late '60s, french heiress Sylvina Boissonnas funded a collective of radical art cinema productions under the banner Zanzibar--heady, hallucinatory works of avant-garde film that straddled the line between performance art, revolutionary agitprop and self-conscious mythopoetic narrative.
One of the most lucid artifacts of this movement was Le Lit de La Vierge, Garrel’s blasphemous chef d’oeuvre about the life of Jesus.
Counterculture icon and fellow director Pierre Clementi plays Jesus, a shivering heap of bones sent unwillingly into the cruel world with a bullhorn and a crown of thorns by his mother Mary (fellow fashionista Zouzou).
Belying the drug-addled circumstances of production in Morocco, Le Lit de la Vierge is an immaculate conception in its own right: 20-year old Garrel’s incredibly assured direction favors flawless widescreen tracking shots and performances almost balletic in their physical refinement.
A rarely-seen film suffused with indelibly poetic images and a spirit of playful heresy, Le Lit de la Vierge screams with creativity, energy and an unlikely kind of wisdom.
Dir. Philippe Garrel, 1969, 35mm, 114 min.
