Pleasure Circuit Overload. Philippe Parreno Prepping What May Be the Biggest Show Ever by a Living Artist. July 24, 2013, 1:58 pm This fall French art star Philippe Parreno will take over all 22,000 square meters — or 236,000 square feet — of Paris’s Palais de Tokyo for his solo show “Anywhere, Anywhere, Out of the World,” which may or may not add up to the largest exhibition ever by a living artist (not counting the Damien Hirst global spotpocalypse , of course). Parreno’s show, which runs October 23 through January 13, 2014, will include iconic works like his durational soccer performance video collaboration with Douglas Gordon , “Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait” (2006), and the ominous short “Continuously Habitable Zones aka C.H.Z.” (2011, pictured). Parreno has devised his blockbuster Paris show to unfold in a quasi-cinematic manner, with visitors being guided through the space thanks to a play of light, video, sound — including a dancer’s ghostly footsteps and a self-playing piano — and performances.

Bodies and performance. Richard Bell Tribute Website. Analysis: Is Scream a Parody, Pastiche, or Post Modern Thriller? WARNING: Contains Spoilers In December 1996 Scream, a film written by Kevin Williamson, and directed by Wes Craven was released for its American audience to see.
The film had a unique element, which distinguished it from other horror movies that proceeded it. It was aware of the existence of other horror films. The film follows a group of teenagers in a small Californian town as they are killed one by one by a serial killer. The central characters all watch horror movies, and constantly draw ironic reference from their experiences or what they’re doing to what has happened in the horror movies they’ve already seen. “Before Scream is done the casualties will number at least ten, but this movie is much more tame than the movies it offers up for parody. Horror parodies like Scary Movies, or Student Bodies follow the definition above, and are truer members of the horror parody genre.

Just two sections from Chapter 1 reproduced here. The last few years have been marked by an inverted millenarianism in which premonitions of the future, catastrophic or redemptive, have been replaced by senses of the end of this or that (the end of ideology, art, or social class; the “crisis” of Leninism, social democracy, or the welfare state, etc., etc.); taken together, all of these perhaps constitute what is increasingly called postmodernism.

Posted: Art isn't rocket science but it is a kind of applied philosophy, writes Andrew Frost, writer and presenter of the A-Z of Contemporary Art.
One of the curious things about contemporary art is that its name is something of a misnomer. The word ‘contemporary’ denotes something made in the present, or at least something that's very recent, but in an art world context ‘contemporary’ could easily refer to a work of art that was made forty years ago. To most people that’s not ‘contemporary’, that’s old. Contemporary art more properly refers to a certain kind of art, with particular subjects and themes, made in a familiar range of media, informed by a particular philosophy. Image tt2H.

" This letter seems to suggest a solution. -- Roger Ebert Ronan O'Casey Los Angeles, CA 90046 February 10, 1999 Dear Mr. Ebert: A friend recently sent me your column in the Nov. 8, 1998 Denver Post about the movie "Blow-Up.

The intended story was as follows: the young lover, armed with a pistol, was to precede Vanessa and me to Maryon Park in London, conceal himself in the bushes and await our arrival. None of this was ever shot. You stated in your article that Antonioni must have been happy while he was making this film.
The producer was Carlo Ponti, and he had been supervising another production which delayed his arrival in London. It is entirely possible that Antonioni could have filmed his entire screenplay and still cut and edited it the same way. Goldman - Blowup and Realism.
