TALK + DINNER
Martin Kemp: Splashing Around in Art and Science from the Renaissance to Now
Observer Effects: Conversations in Art & Science
Wednesday, April 6, 6 PM
FREE
Leonardo da Vinci scholar, Martin Kemp, emeritus professor of art history at the University of Oxford, will give a rare lecture on art, design, architecture, and science. Certain kinds of art and science originate in the intuiting of deep structures that lie behind appearance—what Martin Kemp has called "structural intuitions." Some of the structures are static, relying upon fundamental forms of geometry; some disclose the process itself, like splashing; and others are the result of complex processes, like folding. A limited number of complimentary light dinners will be served at 6 PM to enjoy as part of the talk. Refreshments and wine will also be available as part of our paid cafe service.

SCREENING
Cinematic Chimera: The Red Shoes
Thursday, April 7, 7:30 PM
$5
Based on the Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale about a young girl caught in an endless dance by a pair of magical shoes, The Red Shoes is Powell and Pressburger's celebrated film about the life of an artist. Set in a ballet production of The Red Shoes, the film follows a ballerina struggling with dueling allegiances to love and career. The Red Shoes was unprecedented in its treatment of dance on film, featuring an extended 17-minute ballet sequence, and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra performed its Oscar-winning score. One of cinema's most famous early uses of Technicolor, this newly remastered digital version was restored by the UCLA Film & Television Archives in 2009.
