Screen/Society--Lights on Africa 2013 series--"The Triptych" (documentary)

Film Screening: "The Triptych" (Terence Nance, 2012, 75 min, USA, in English, Color, DVD), presented in connection with the Nasher Museum of Art's exhibition, "Wangechi Mutu: A Fantastic Journey" (March 21-July 21, 2013) -- "The Triptych" is a unique and profound documentary series profiling some of the most outspoken visual artists of our time. Produced by Afro-punk pictures, the documentary is itself a work of art, featuring three intimate 20-minute conversations with three bold and culturally resonant voices in art. Each monologue is a reflection of their life experience, letting the viewer discover how their observations have shaped the art they create. The first in the series features Sanford Biggers, Barron Claiborne and Wangechi Mutu - contemporaries, luminaries and friends. Spanning the artistic gamut from interdisciplinary to photography and performance, their keen reflections on the world are at once startling and insightful. -- Preceded by 6:00 PM First Thursday Gallery Talk by Professor Kristine Stiles on Wangechi Mutu: A Fantastic Journey!
