In-Sight Lecture Series: Jesus Christ as the Divine Mercy | January 13, 2010 | 6:30 pm
| Description: | Ivan Gaskell, Margaret S. Winthrop Curator, Department of Paintings, Sculpture and Decorative Arts, Harvard Art Museum/Fogg Museum; and senior lecturer, Department of History, Harvard University Eugeniusz Kazimirowski‘s Jesus Christ as the Divine Mercy is arguably the most famous Christian miraculous image of the 20th century. Deriving from the vision of a canonized Polish nun, the original painting is in Vilnius, Lithuania, but has given rise to many other versions, both painted and in reproduction. A version by a Mexican artist is venerated in the US national shrine of the devotion in Stockbridge, Massachusetts. Recently, the image has proliferated via the Web. Cultural historian Ivan Gaskell will recount the extraordinary story of this neo-medieval artifact, believed to have been dictated by Jesus Christ himself. Is it propaganda, kitsch, art, or an agent of miracles? |

HOK/Bill Valentine Lecture in Sustainable Design: Janine Benyus, ‘Borrowing Nature’s Blueprints: Biomimicry and The Art of Well-Adapted Design’ | December 1, 2009 | 6:30 pm
| Description: | Biomimicry is a design discipline that seeks sustainable solutions by emulating nature’s time—tested patterns and strategies. The goal is to create products, processes, and policies—new ways of living—that are well—adapted to life on earth over the long haul. Biomimics around the world are learning to grow food like a prairie, cool buildings like a termite, harness energy like a leaf, create color like a peacock, compute like a cell, and run a business like a redwood forest. These bio—inspired designs are elegant, functional, and life sustaining. Besides helping our species earn a longer stay on the planet, biomimicry has the potential to change the way we view and value non—human nature. It encourages us to view nature not as a source of goods, but as a mentor, a source of wisdom. In this special tribute to Bill Valentine, Janine Benyus, the author of Biomimicry: Innovation Inspired by Nature, will highlight the Biomimicry Guild’s exciting alliance with HOK, which has embraced biomimicry as one of the most important tools used by their designers to create built environments in partnership with nature. |

Unlike the work of some younger cinematographers, Willis‘ contributions are never superfluous — they unfailingly strengthen the themes of the story, adding layers of meaning and depth —shooting Marlon Brando in shadow, for example, his eyes hooded to convey the darkness of his inner thoughts. By utilizing slight variations on a consistent style, Willis maintains a sense of cohesion as the film travels from New York to Los Angeles, to Sicily and back while subtly conjuring changes in scene and mood. |

Harvard Film Archive: The Godfather: Part II | November 29, 2009 | 7:00 pm
| Description: | Expanding upon the visual signifiers he established in the first Godfather film, Willis creates a sense of continuity, or perhaps fatality, in The Godfather: Part II by maintaining a consistent amber—inflected color scheme to bind the two films together. A grander, more ambitious undertaking than its predecessor , The Godfather: Part II depicts both the past and the present, unified by Willis‘s camerawork, but made immediately identifiable as distinct time periods through subtle shifts in color, focus and mood. Coppola‘s American epic — a gangster opera, as Willis calls it — is grounded by Willis‘ exacting and subtly expressive cinematography. |

Harvard Film Archive: The Landlord | November 30, 2009 | 7:00 pm
| Description: | Willis brought an experimental, nervous energy to Hal Ashby‘s feature debut, with edgy cinematography that captures the two polar worlds explored by the film‘s prescient examination of racial and class conflict, juxtaposing the washed—out, gauzy Long Island light of a naïve Hamptons heir with the darker, urban tones of the Park Slope brownstone which he blindly purchases. In keeping with the film‘s spirited mix of broad satire and keenly observed realism, Willis wields a variety of cinematographic devices to give visual shape to Bill Gunn‘s mordant script, using overblown lighting to flatten the landlord‘s family into caricature and crepuscular shadows to capture the urban malaise at the heart of the film. Throughout, Willis experiments with a remarkably expressive use of darkness to give contrasting shape to different lighting zones within the frame. |

Harvard Film Archive: Film and Video Works by Vlada Petric | December 6, 2009 | 7:00 pm
| Description: | Renowned film scholar and founding curator of the Harvard Film Archive from 1979 to 1998, Vlada Petric presents two film and video works that bracket his long and extraordinarily active Harvard years. The Fatal Thirst Directed by Vlada Petric and Ljubomir Radičević. Yugoslavia 1964, 35mm, b/w, 16 min. Serbo—Croatian with English subtitles One of Petric’s first filmmaking experiences, this government—commissioned experimental short warns about the dangers of alcohol, using a jazz score and minimal dialogue to capture the strange kineticism of a dipsomaniac’s final moments. Wall of Memories Directed by Vlada Petric with Anthony Flackett. US 2002, video, color, 90 min. excerpt During his twenty—five years teaching and curating at Harvard, Petric amassed thousands of images that reflect his passionate pursuit of ‘cinematic artifacts.’ Made in collaboration with video artist Anthony Flackett, Wall of Memories uses an essay form to offer both a reflection on Petric’s theory of film aesthetics and a nostalgic examination of a life devoted to cinema. Petric will screen selected sequences from this four—hour long work. |

Goldfaden and the Yiddish Theatre: ‘Shulamis’ and its Legacy: An Academic Symposium | December 4, 2009 | 12:00 pm
| Description: | JOEL BERKOWITZ (Symposium Speaker) is Associate Professor, Chair of the Judaic Studies Department, and Director of the Center for Jewish Studies at the University at Albany, SUNY. He received his PhD in Theatre at the City University of New York Graduate Center in 1995, and spent the following year as a Fulbright Postdoctoral Fellow at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. For four years Berkowitz was the Corob Fellow in Yiddish at Oxford University, and has taught at SUNY since 2001. He is the author of ‘Shakespeare on the American Yiddish Stage’ (2002), editor of ‘Yiddish Theatre: New Approaches’ (2003), and co-editor and translator of ‘Landmark Yiddish Plays: A Critical Anthology’ (2006). He is currently co—editing an essay collection, ‘The Global Yiddish Stage.’ ZALMEN MLOTEK (Musical Arrangements and Orchestration, Symposium Speaker), an internationally recognized authority on Yiddish folk and theater music, is a leading figure in the Jewish theater and concert worlds. Mlotek brought Yiddish—Klezmer music to Broadway and off—Broadway stages as co—creator, music director, and conductor of ‘Those Were the Days,’ the first bilingual musical honored with a Drama Desk Award and nominated for two Tony Awards. In addition, he was co—creator, music director and conductor for the production of ‘The Golden Land,’ an off—Broadway hit that toured nationally and which was brought to Italy under the sponsorship of Leonard Bernstein. In 1998 Mlotek took over the co—artistic directorship of the Folksbiene Yiddish Theater in New York City, the longest continuously operating Yiddish theater company in America and presently the only professional Yiddish theater company in the United States. Mlotek has given master classes and has performed in London, Paris, Berlin, Warsaw, Cracow, Amsterdam, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kiev as well as throughout the United States and Canada. He has also spoken as an invited guest lecturer at Columbia University, the Jewish Theological Seminary, Yeshiva University, Hebrew Union College, the University of California at Berkeley, and Bar Ilan University in Tel Aviv. He lectures and presents internationally at Klezmer music festivals around the world, as well as Jewish Choral festivals and Cantorial Conventions in the United States and all over the world. ALYSSA QUINT (Symposium Speaker) received her PhD at Harvard University where she wrote her dissertation on Avrom Goldfaden. She has written on different aspects of the commercial and popular culture of Eastern European Jews and is a co—editor of the recently published ‘Arguing the Modern Jewish Canon: Essays on Literature and Culture in Honor of Ruth R. Wisse’ (2008). She lives in New York City and lectures on Yiddish culture at Columbia University. She is working on a bilingual (English—Yiddish) edition of ‘Shulamis.’ NAHMA SANDROW (Translator, Symposium Speaker) is author of ‘Vagabond Stars: A World History of Yiddish Theater,’ ‘God, Man, and Devil: Yiddish Plays in Translation,’ and other books and articles about Yiddish and other theaters. She wrote the books for ‘Kuni—Leml’ and ‘Vagabond Stars,’ two award-winning off—Broadway shows based on Yiddish theater material. Four of her play translations from Yiddish have been performed, as well as a play by Susan Yankowitz based on a commissioned translation from the French. The translation of ‘Shulamis’ performed at Harvard was partly funded by a PEN-nominated grant from the New York State Council on the Arts, and she has just won an NEA grant to translate David Pinski’s ‘Yankl the Blacksmith.’ A retired professor at City University of New York, she has lectured at Harvard, Oxford, the Young Directors Lab of Lincoln Center, the National Yiddish Book Center, and the Smithsonian. She is a member of the BMI Librettists Workshop and the Dramatists Guild. SETH L. WOLITZ (Symposium Roundtable Chair) is the Gale Chair of Jewish Studies and Professor of French, Slavic and Comparative Literature at the University of Texas at Austin. Editor of ‘The Hidden Isaac Bashevis Singer,’ he has published widely on Goldfaden and ‘Shulamis,’ including a recent article on the ‘Shulamis’ song ‘Shabes, yontef, un rosh-khoydesh’ in ‘Polin.’ |

Jardín de Pulpos | December 1, 2009 | 8:00 pm
| Description: | Join us in TEATRO‘s first production by a Latin American playwright! Inspired by the unjust murders of the many students whose corpses were thrown into the sea during the 1970‘s dictatorship in Argentina, Vargas proposes another way of constructing historical memory: dreaming. The play takes place on the beach in which, many years ago, the corpses were tossed, and which has now been deserted because people no longer dare to dream in it. Here, a young man who has lost his memory converses with a quirky madwoman who promises to help him regain his memory. When he asks her how, she answers: by remembering into the future, by dreaming! One by one, the phantoms of his memory arise from the beach: his mother, stuck in the past; his cajoling aunt; and a remote ancestor who brings memories of an indigenous past. The Latin American imaginary thus comes to be reconstructed and appropriated by us through our most intimate dreams and desires. Desire becomes identity, and our dreams become our memories in this world in which the most magical things are the most real. by Arístides Vargas Directed by Gabriela Bortolamedi Produced by Francisco Alvarez |

Jardín de Pulpos | December 2, 2009 | 8:00 pm
| Description: | Join us in TEATRO‘s first production by a Latin American playwright! Inspired by the unjust murders of the many students whose corpses were thrown into the sea during the 1970‘s dictatorship in Argentina, Vargas proposes another way of constructing historical memory: dreaming. The play takes place on the beach in which, many years ago, the corpses were tossed, and which has now been deserted because people no longer dare to dream in it. Here, a young man who has lost his memory converses with a quirky madwoman who promises to help him regain his memory. When he asks her how, she answers: by remembering into the future, by dreaming! One by one, the phantoms of his memory arise from the beach: his mother, stuck in the past; his cajoling aunt; and a remote ancestor who brings memories of an indigenous past. The Latin American imaginary thus comes to be reconstructed and appropriated by us through our most intimate dreams and desires. Desire becomes identity, and our dreams become our memories in this world in which the most magical things are the most real. by Arístides Vargas Directed by Gabriela Bortolamedi Produced by Francisco Alvarez |

Goldfaden and the Yiddish Theatre: ‘Shulamis’ and its Legacy: An Academic Symposium | December 4, 2009 | 12:00 pm
| Description: | JOEL BERKOWITZ (Symposium Speaker) is Associate Professor, Chair of the Judaic Studies Department, and Director of the Center for Jewish Studies at the University at Albany, SUNY. He received his PhD in Theatre at the City University of New York Graduate Center in 1995, and spent the following year as a Fulbright Postdoctoral Fellow at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. For four years Berkowitz was the Corob Fellow in Yiddish at Oxford University, and has taught at SUNY since 2001. He is the author of ‘Shakespeare on the American Yiddish Stage’ (2002), editor of ‘Yiddish Theatre: New Approaches’ (2003), and co-editor and translator of ‘Landmark Yiddish Plays: A Critical Anthology’ (2006). He is currently co—editing an essay collection, ‘The Global Yiddish Stage.’ ZALMEN MLOTEK (Musical Arrangements and Orchestration, Symposium Speaker), an internationally recognized authority on Yiddish folk and theater music, is a leading figure in the Jewish theater and concert worlds. Mlotek brought Yiddish—Klezmer music to Broadway and off—Broadway stages as co—creator, music director, and conductor of ‘Those Were the Days,’ the first bilingual musical honored with a Drama Desk Award and nominated for two Tony Awards. In addition, he was co—creator, music director and conductor for the production of ‘The Golden Land,’ an off—Broadway hit that toured nationally and which was brought to Italy under the sponsorship of Leonard Bernstein. In 1998 Mlotek took over the co—artistic directorship of the Folksbiene Yiddish Theater in New York City, the longest continuously operating Yiddish theater company in America and presently the only professional Yiddish theater company in the United States. Mlotek has given master classes and has performed in London, Paris, Berlin, Warsaw, Cracow, Amsterdam, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kiev as well as throughout the United States and Canada. He has also spoken as an invited guest lecturer at Columbia University, the Jewish Theological Seminary, Yeshiva University, Hebrew Union College, the University of California at Berkeley, and Bar Ilan University in Tel Aviv. He lectures and presents internationally at Klezmer music festivals around the world, as well as Jewish Choral festivals and Cantorial Conventions in the United States and all over the world. ALYSSA QUINT (Symposium Speaker) received her PhD at Harvard University where she wrote her dissertation on Avrom Goldfaden. She has written on different aspects of the commercial and popular culture of Eastern European Jews and is a co—editor of the recently published ‘Arguing the Modern Jewish Canon: Essays on Literature and Culture in Honor of Ruth R. Wisse’ (2008). She lives in New York City and lectures on Yiddish culture at Columbia University. She is working on a bilingual (English—Yiddish) edition of ‘Shulamis.’ NAHMA SANDROW (Translator, Symposium Speaker) is author of ‘Vagabond Stars: A World History of Yiddish Theater,’ ‘God, Man, and Devil: Yiddish Plays in Translation,’ and other books and articles about Yiddish and other theaters. She wrote the books for ‘Kuni—Leml’ and ‘Vagabond Stars,’ two award-winning off—Broadway shows based on Yiddish theater material. Four of her play translations from Yiddish have been performed, as well as a play by Susan Yankowitz based on a commissioned translation from the French. The translation of ‘Shulamis’ performed at Harvard was partly funded by a PEN-nominated grant from the New York State Council on the Arts, and she has just won an NEA grant to translate David Pinski’s ‘Yankl the Blacksmith.’ A retired professor at City University of New York, she has lectured at Harvard, Oxford, the Young Directors Lab of Lincoln Center, the National Yiddish Book Center, and the Smithsonian. She is a member of the BMI Librettists Workshop and the Dramatists Guild. SETH L. WOLITZ (Symposium Roundtable Chair) is the Gale Chair of Jewish Studies and Professor of French, Slavic and Comparative Literature at the University of Texas at Austin. Editor of ‘The Hidden Isaac Bashevis Singer,’ he has published widely on Goldfaden and ‘Shulamis,’ including a recent article on the ‘Shulamis’ song ‘Shabes, yontef, un rosh-khoydesh’ in ‘Polin.’ |

Grease | December 4, 2009 | 7:30 pm
| Description: | In 1972, Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey wrote Grease, a 50s rock musical, and it became an instant hit. A few years later, the movie made Grease an even greater social phenomenon. From the blue collar boys down at the five and dime to the high class debutante yearning for rebellion against her hoity toity family, the public became obsessed, singing ‘Summer Nights’ in the streets, humming ‘We Go Together’ in bus stops, listening to ‘Beauty School Dropout’ while making out in cars. Grease is the story of high school. Graduating. Pregnancy. Sex. Feeling lost. Wanting desperately to play guitar. Wanting acceptance. Being cool. Don’t let the poodle skirts fool you. There is nothing innocent about high school in the 50’s. This fall, the Harvard-Radcliffe Drama Club will put Grease in the Loeb Ex, a space for experimenting, yet emphasizing the purity of Grease’s soundtrack and long-lived story. There will be a full live band. By Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey Directed by Mia Walker Produced by Matthew Zehnder |

Grease | December 6, 2009 | 7:30 pm
| Description: | In 1972, Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey wrote Grease, a 50s rock musical, and it became an instant hit. A few years later, the movie made Grease an even greater social phenomenon. From the blue collar boys down at the five and dime to the high class debutante yearning for rebellion against her hoity toity family, the public became obsessed, singing ‘Summer Nights’ in the streets, humming ‘We Go Together’ in bus stops, listening to ‘Beauty School Dropout’ while making out in cars. Grease is the story of high school. Graduating. Pregnancy. Sex. Feeling lost. Wanting desperately to play guitar. Wanting acceptance. Being cool. Don’t let the poodle skirts fool you. There is nothing innocent about high school in the 50’s. This fall, the Harvard-Radcliffe Drama Club will put Grease in the Loeb Ex, a space for experimenting, yet emphasizing the purity of Grease’s soundtrack and long-lived story. There will be a full live band. By Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey Directed by Mia Walker Produced by Matthew Zehnder |

Visiting Faculty Artist Talk: Andrew Witkin | March 25, 2010 | 6:00 pm
| Description: | ‘In Witkin‘s collection I see an apparently static space whose contents shift about, without any key or legend, and charge visitors to form their own mental inventories ... in this connoisseurship of the mundane, Witkin emerges both innovative and grounded in very old, unconscious traditions. Inasmuch as the modern museum parallels the ancient temple archive, Witkin becomes magistrate, architect, devotee and priestess(!)’ says Athena Kirk, Classics Department, University of California at Berkeley. Education: BA, Wesleyan University, Middletown, CT, MA, SMFA/Tufts, Boston, MA. Born: Boston, Massachusetts Recent Exhibitions, Performances, and Audio works:all with variations, James Harris Gallery, Seattle, Washington, September—October, 2009; Others Among Others, LaMontagne Gallery, January—February, 2009; Foster Prize, ICA, Boston, November, 2008—February, 2009; Mills Gallery Hallway Project (with Douglas Weathersby), Boston, September, 2009; and and, Allston Skirt Gallery, May, 2007; Transmissions, DNARecords, dnacd00019, 2007; ES Presents, Chelsea, Massachusetts, 2006 (group show);Dome Baby, Rosenwald—Wolf Gallery, University of the Arts, Philadelphia, 2003 (collaborative show);Subtle [Details], Clifford•Smith Gallery, Boston, 2002 (two person show); and 5.5, Real Art Ways, Hartford, 2001 (five person show). |
