I'm extremely happy to be able to announce Bare [link absolutely nsfw!], a group exhibition of photography that I curated, to open at Michael Mazzeo Gallery on 11 Dec, 2008 (a reception for the artists will be held at the gallery on Thursday, December 11, from 6PM to 8PM).

from the press release:

"Participating artists include, Rachael Dunville, Amy Elkins, Ethan Aaro Jones, Richard Learoyd, Jennifer Loeber, Hellen van Meene, Josh Quigley, Richard Renaldi, Jessica Roberts, Alec Soth, Shen Wei and Carmen Winant. [...]

"Emerging from a long history of figurative representation, the images that make up Bare represent various perspectives on the human form, and the relationships that are defined by physical experience. Reflecting a contemporary liberation from deeply rooted and oppressive conventions, particularly the issues of the male gaze and the imposition of sexuality onto an objectified body, these photographs reveal emotional and psychological intimacies that allow the subjects to be represented as independent beings.

"The photographers included in Bare actively counter the images of exclusively sexual and idealized bodies, exploited by the unwitting alliance of conservative groups and the advertising industry, which despite their divergent goals, function in the same way to impose an unattainable beauty standard, and the equation of nudity = sex."

After a couple of weeks off (I had a bad case of Twilight fever), Indie Winners returns with a look at the best-performing independent films at the box office this weekend. As Indie Spotlighter Eric D. Snider noted before the long holiday weekend began, precious few new releases have entered the marketplace recently, so let's focus on two that distinguished themselves financially.

1. Milk (Focus Features)
2. Slumdog Millionaire (Fox Searchlight)

Avoiding the fall festival circuit, and even drawing some criticism for not opening in time to possibly influence California's vote on Proposition 8, Gus Van Sant's Milk finally debuted to very strong numbers, earning $38,361 per screen (36) in 19 cities, according to estimates compiled by Box Office Mojo. Milk opened last Wednesday and has been riding a wave of critical acclaim (93% positive, per Rotten Tomatoes, including our own James Rocchi). It will expand its theater count over the next couple of weeks.

In contrast, Danny Boyle's Slumdog Millionaire followed the fall festival circuit, generated glowing early word, and continues to perform well in (slightly) expanded release in its third week, scoring a per-screen average of $27,898 at 49 locations. Slumdog Millionaire also has received extremely positive reviews (92% at Rotten Tomatoes) and is likewise inspiring good word of mouth.

The old, if not profound, lesson? Specialty audiences have been responding to intelligent films that resonate emotionally, ones that sound different from the usual art house fare. Stars like Sean Penn and Josh Brolin may snare some viewers, but I'd bet it's the rousing treatment of important (and pertinent) subjects that drives Milk to a solid success as it expands. Lacking recognizable stars, Slumdog Millionaire definitely is building momentum because of its underdog tale and looks primed to be a crossover success.

Lorsqu’un artiste nous balance une collection de reprises de standards jazz de la sorte, difficile de ne pas en conclure le désespoir d’un succès étiolé au fil des années.

Et le cas de “Soul” rconfirme parfaitement la théorie.

S’entichant des services de David Foster (Michael Bublé, Josh Groban) sur une production convenue jusqu’à l’atrophie, on revisite donc les titres d’anthologie que sont It’s a Man’s World, Stand by Me et 10 autres déjà ultra-refaites auparavant, et ce, sans même chercher à y insuffler ne serait-ce qu’une poussière de renouveau.

pspan style=font-size: 14px; font-family: Verdana;a href=http://johnharmstrong.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83451cfe769e201053618cdc4970c-pi style=float: left;img alt=Film border=0 class=at-xid-6a00d83451cfe769e201053618cdc4970c src=http://johnharmstrong.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83451cfe769e201053618cdc4970c-800wi style=margin: 0px 5px 5px 0px; title=Film //a The film producer Oliver Stone has made more than his share of biopics that have created considerable controversy. Some of his films feature elements that are intentionally mythic and hugely debatable. I have seen most of Sspan style=font-size: 15px;tone#39;s films, movies like emNixon/em, emJFK/em/span and the war movies. Stone#39;s most recent film is emW./em I was certain when I saw that this film was being released that I would not like it, at least until I began to read a few reviews. I then saw it several weeks ago and found it a sympathetic and engaging portrait that plays with some really big ideas that make President George W. Bush look a personable and warmly human figure who is also tragic. I then saw Governor Mike Huckabee interview Oliver Stone on his Fox News Channel program. I found the interview very interesting. To hear Stone explain what he was trying to accomplish in this film and how he wrote and produced it was quite convincing to me. Huckabee had issues with the film, as I did, but he liked it. So did I. /span/ppspan style=font-size: 14px; font-family: Verdana;Stone tells the Bush story through three parts, or three big story lines. The lead character, who plays W., is actor Josh Brolin. a href=http://johnharmstrong.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83451cfe769e20105361081c0970b-pi style=float: right;img alt=Brolin border=0 class=at-xid-6a00d83451cfe769e20105361081c0970b src=http://johnharmstrong.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83451cfe769e20105361081c0970b-800wi style=margin: 0px 0px 5px 5px; title=Brolin //a These three story lines are not told chronologically but in various flash back and fast-forward types of ways. He deals with Bush the playboy, the party guy who drank too much and never amounted to much, never keeping a real job for more than months at a time. He then deals with Bush the convert to Christian faith. This is done with rare sensitivity, and even a measure of respect, at least in my view. Finally he deals with Bush, the man who never got his father#39;s approval and who lacked the innate ability to make good decisions in leadership, especially with regard to the war in Iraq. This Bush, still desperately seeking and needing his father#39;s approval, seems to have struggled with who he was his entire life. (W. is much like his mother Barbara while Jeb is more like his father, George H. W. Bush. Since I have read a good deal about this family I think Stone gets this relationship about right.) Even if you disagree with Oliver Stone#39;s portrayal, and much of this is fiction since we do not know exactly what the president was thinkingor saying at a particular point in time, the film does give a relatively fair treatment of the semi-complicated personality of the world#39;s most powerful man. /span/ppspan style=font-size: 14px; font-family: Verdana;a href=http://johnharmstrong.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83451cfe769e20105361081e9970b-pi style=float: left;img alt=GWB border=0 class=at-xid-6a00d83451cfe769e20105361081e9970b src=http://johnharmstrong.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83451cfe769e20105361081e9970b-800wi style=margin: 0px 5px 5px 0px; title=GWB //a I have had several people tell me the film bored them. Others, who love George W. Bush and are offended by such portrayals, find it terribly unfair or, in most cases, will never watch the film. It didn#39;t bore me at all and I confess I rather liked it. I saw it as fictional-biography and thus as one person#39;s interpretation of the president. This is precisely what Stone told Huckabee he intended to do. Stone is an artist, for better or for worse, not a historian. What surprised me was how close to reality I sensed the big picture got in the end. It is clearly Oliver Stone#39;s best such moviespan style=font-size: 15px; font-family: Verdana;. /span/spanspan style=font-size: 15px; font-family: Verdana;I recommend you see it of you understand the premise and can handle the obvious fictional elements, which is a way of saying literalists should stay awayspan style=font-size: 14px; font-family: Verdana;. /span/spanspan style=font-size: 14px; font-family: Verdana;Most literalists do not like novels or films anyway so the warning is probably unnecessary./span/p

JoshSpear.com emerged in 2004 from the back of a Journalism 1001 class. Josh was disappointed with the way major academics ignored the blog-phenomena as a credible form of media. This blog began as a place to catalog those things he saw from a wide range of sectors both online as he surfed the web and offline as he traveled around the globe; he began writing daily about things he liked, reviewing products, ideas, people or places that inspired him. Today, the blog is a daily source of inspiration for marketers, brand managers, advertising executives, and a wide range of everyday people from around the world who love to stay ahead of the curve.
