Mario García Torres: Je ne sais si c’en est la cause, What Doesn’t Kill You Makes You Stronger, and Some Reference Materials / MATRIX 227

THIS IS NOT EASY. THIS IS NOT EASY TO EXPLAIN. THIS IS NOT EASY TO EXPLAIN BUT. THIS I SNOT EASY TO EXPLAIN BUT I THINK. THIS IS NOT EASY TO EXPLAIN BUT I THINK THIS IS ONE OF THE FINEST AND MOST IMPORTANT SHOWS I HAVE EVER SEEN.

BAM/PFA SITE:

Mario García Torres looks to recent history, in both its anecdotal and official articulations, to make connections between the present moment and artists who, in García Torres’s words, “were fundamentally trying to legitimatize a different way of conceiving art.”

huhn?! well, yup, actually and...

García Torres’s work illuminates past projects and rescues them from obscurity in the service of metaphorical poetics.

uh, o.k. "go bears!"

Review: Macbeth

Macbeth by William Shakespeare My rating: 4 of 5 stars Four and a half stars, with one major flaw: the producers chose to do this funny little trick of overlaying Cumming's voices when he was multiple characters, namely three weird sisters when they spoke at once. The result was echo-y and distracting. Otherwise, the whole thing felt like the smartest guy in the neighborhood inviting you over to listen to him read, and you cared: knew the story and really wanted to hear how he delivered. It was intimate and rewarding. It also made me think about how it is a story of Scots and English. View all my reviews

Review: King Henry VI, Part 2

King Henry VI, Part 2 by William Shakespeare My rating: 5 of 5 stars I have just now gotten to part 2 of the Henry VI plays. the first had amazing speeches and frickin' Joan of Arc and I thought it couldn't get any better. THAN this one's got conjurors who evoke prophetic specters, multiple beheadings, and a mad rebel named Cade who just starts to try to take over the whole country, no Empire for like no good reason then gets killed after hiding ten days without food in a hedgegrove. The language is extraordinary from the get go where pious Henry says, "O Lord, that lends me life, Lend me a heart replete with thankfulness!" I am going to make that my motto! View all my reviews
