Bending Space: Georges Rousse and the Durham Project
Sponsored by Anne & Gene Keller
Thursday, March 13 — 4:30pm Palm Theatre
What happens when a visionary French artist takes the city of Durham, North Carolina by storm as old buildings are transformed into temporary canvases for dramatic public art.
This fascinating documentary captures the genius of French photographer and installation artist Georges Rousse as it follows the artist and two hundred volunteers during a September 2006 art residency in Durham, North Carolina. Bending Space reveals the complex process of creating Rousse’s signature trompe l’oeil illusions of color and shape that ultimately become the stunning large format color photographs exhibited in galleries and museums around the world. The film is witness to the energy that is unleashed when a remarkable artist and an art-loving community join forces. Director/producers Penelope Maunsell and Kenny Dalsheimer will be in attendance. Documentary. USA. 56 m. Screens with Simulacra.
