Prof. Lucas’ film screening & discussion at Union Docs
Prof. Marty Lucas’ film Hiroshima Bound will have its first screening in the New York area at Union Docs in Williamsburg on March 24th at 7:30PM.
The screening will be followed by a discussion with Prof. Reiko Tahara and IMAer Jason Fox. Hiroshima Bound is an hour-long personal interrogation of the traumatic mix of memory and amnesia that constitutes America’s understanding of the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, built from a mix of re-examined archival material, personal meditation and testimony, and visits to sites including The Lawrence Radiation Laboratory at Berkeley, White Sands Missile Proving Grounds, and the International Center of Photography in New York.

Prof. Ricardo Miranda’s project at Cuchifritos Gallery + Project Space
Prof. Ricardo Miranda’s project “Lettuce, Artichokes, Red Beets, Mangoes, Broccoli, Honey and Nutmeg: The Essex Street Market as Collaborator” (group exhibition) at Cuchifritos Gallery + Project Space, curated by Nicolas Dumit Estevez featured Recetas y Gangas (2016)
Commonly street markets around the world present an arcade to pedestrians allowing them to be at once inside and outside. The Essex Street Market does not have a sidewalk extension. Recetas y Gangas is an audio montage that seeks to extend the Essex Street Market on to the sidewalk through the voices of vendors and shoppers.
(February 20 – March 20, 2016)
The audio project is available online here.
Exhibition documentation is online here.
