ARTS
•Marcel Duchamp Redux
The installation Marcel Duchamp Redux features a dozen Duchamp works acquired by the Museum during and after the 1963 exhibition, as well as photographs and ephemera from the retrospective. Ready-mades (everyday or found objects that become art, thanks to the artist’s idea and designation thereof) perfectly illustrate Duchamp’s irreverent wit and subversive relationship to art history.
(Marcel Duchamp, French born 1887-1968)

THEATRE
DERNIER JOUR | LAST DAY

5:30pm
•Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme
City Garage presents the world premiere of a new adaptation of Molière’s classic comedy.
Wealthy and foolish Monsieur Jourdain is in love with the Countess Dorimène and aches to be what he is not—a member of the aristocracy. Determined to overcome his low birth with an “education” in high style, he unwittingly surrounds himself with charlatans and swindlers who gleefully take his money and prey on his innocence.
Ingenious servants, pedantic masters, devious nobles, and earnest young lovers all propel this delightful satire of nouveau riche social climbers. And, in the end, is the “nobility” to which Jourdain so ardently aspires all that admirable?

Originally written by Molière as a “comedy ballet” for Louis XIV, this new translation re-imagines the play for contemporary audiences, transporting us into an extravagant fantasy world of song, dance, and upper class nonsense with a French accent.

Directed by Frédérique Michel
Production Design by Charles A. Duncombe

VISUAL ARTS

•Drawing the Classical Figure
Mastering the depiction of the human figure has long been a cornerstone of an artist's training. This survey of drawings from the 1300s to the 1800s examines how the rediscovery classical sculpture influenced the ways in which artists rendered the human form.
A selection of Italian, Flemish, Dutch, Swiss, French, and British drawings illustrates the powerful aesthetic, philosophical, and political forces that informed the representation of the classical figure.
