All the Wrong Art

February is documentary month at MoMA and it is the month that they have the most
resources to put behind promoting these features. This series also occurs over two Modern Mondays. It all starts with Robert Williams and ends with David Choe.

It compliments the artists of the Hurley Featured Artist tee program (many of these artists appear in these films). This is the last program that former DC area curator Annie Adjchavanich initiated as the curator at Hurley out in the Left Coast.

Annie tells me that she's interested in bringing the series to DC and beyond, and I for one think that it would be a great idea for a DMV museum to pick up on.

Ron Magliozzi, the MoMA NY curator who organized the Tim Burton exhibit in NY (will be at LACMA May 29, 2011–October 31, 2011) worked with Annie to make possible the event that is presented by Hurley. The series is co-curated by Greg Escalante,
co-founder of Juxtapoz Magazine.

All the Wrong Art: Juxtapoz Magazine on Film at the Museum of Modern Art, NY, Feb 7-14, 2011. After most films, there are discussions with the filmmakers and the artists.

I am told that the scheduled theater currently holds 225 people and that MoMA is trying to move the films to a larger theater due to the overwhelming popularity
of this series.

There will be three free Hurley tee shirt giveaways while supplies last;
Monday, 2/7 -Robert Williams: Mr Bitchin
Thursday, 2/10 - The Treasures of Long Gone John
Saturday, 2/12 - Bloodbath - A film about Elizabeth McGrath
