Bringing Popular Science into Focus: Vassily Kandinsky’s Biomorphic AbstractionThis talk examines Vassily Kandinsky’s turn to a more biomorphic mode of painterly abstraction in relation to the growing prevalence of micro- and macroscopic visual technologies in 1930s France. The notion of looking in or looking through, I argue, functioned metaphorically as a means for artists to navigate the ongoing socio-economic crisis and engage with a new mode of visuality—one deeply bound up with the contemporary tools and techniques made familiar through mass media.Rachel Boate, NEH Visiting Assistant Professor of Art History, Department of Art.Refreshments will be provided.All are welcome.

Followed by a virtual Q&A with filmmakers, moderated by curator Devika GirishIn the last decade, a new wave of experimental film has emerged in India, giving fresh life to an otherwise marginal tradition in a country dominated by commercial cinema. Female filmmakers have been at the forefront of this wave, deploying the tactics of women’s storytelling—fractured image and sound, diaristic modes, a blend of myth and fantasy with documentary—to craft films that are doubly oppositional: They resist both the totalizing norms of narrative cinema and the oppressive contours of an increasingly intolerant nation.This program presents a curated selection of recent experimental shorts by Indian women filmmakers, including Shambhavi Kaul, Nehal Vyas, Payal Kapadia, Eshwarya Grover, Utsa Hazarika and Trisha Bhattacharya. The program offers a distinctly feminist perspective on India—and experimental image-making—today.Co-sponsored by the Colgate Arts Council, the Office of Equity and Diversity, Asian Studies, and Core Communities

Narrated by Patrick Stewart, viewers witness an amazing variety of stars and peer into their secret lives. Some stars are massive. Others are tiny, nearly insignificant. The specific characteristics of a star will determine what type of life it will lead, how long it might live and even the type of death it will die.
