Julie Christie and Donald Sutherland star as a married couple who travel to Venice following the recent accidental death of their daughter\, after the husband accepts a commission to restore a church. They encounter two sisters\, one of whom claims to be clairvoyant and informs them that their daughter is trying to contact them and warn them of danger. The husband at first dismisses their claims\, but starts to experience mysterious sightings himself. Don’t Look Now is renowned for its innovative editing style\, and its use of recurring motifs and themes. Watch the original trailer.

New Orleans drag queen Reba Douglas will perform prior to the screening. The movie follows two drag queens played by Hugo Weaving and Guy Pearce and a transgender woman\, played by Terence Stamp\, as they journey across the Australian Outback from Sydney to Alice Springs in a tour bus that they have named “Priscilla.” The trio encounter an assortment of groups and individuals along the way\, including a group of friendly Aboriginal Australians who enjoy an impromptu performance and less-accepting rural Australians who harass these unwelcome visitors. The film was a surprise worldwide hit and its positive portrayal of gay and transgender individuals helped to introduce LGBT themes to a mainstream audience. The film won an Academy Award for Best Costume Design at the 67th Academy Awards.

The New Orleans native took soul singer Mighty Sam McClain into the studio to record the song\, beginning what would become a long and exceptionally fruitful career as a record producer. But first Carlo continued to pursue his calling as a songwriter and performer during stints in Nashville\, Los Angeles\, and New York City\, where he collaborated on projects with Dorothy Goodman\, Willy DeVille and Motown composer Nick Zesses. But New Orleans kept calling out to him\, and Ditta went back home to concentrate on making records with neglected Louisiana performers for his award-winning Orleans Records. \nCarlo produced the classic Danny Barker album Ham & Eggs and then got a Grammy nomination with Story of My Life by Guitar Slim Jr. Willy DeVille’s Victory Mixture won a Gold Record in France\, and he produced albums by Marva Wright and Lenny McDaniels for Virgin Records before scoring with a series of Orleans Records on overlooked artists like Roland Stone\, the Original Pinstripe Brass Band\, Ironing Board Sam\, Coco Robicheaux\, Little Freddie King\, and “The President of Soul\,” Rockie Charles.

While all three have had previous experience in chamber music\, their collaborative work together began in early 2017. Herlinda and Emily began working together in the fall of 2016\, and reached out to Ellen in January. The three young women became familiar with each other’s playing styles in the fall of 2015 upon entering their freshman year at Loyola. Their musical interests are focused in the Classical era\, but they dabble in Baroque and Romantic as well. \nABOUT KIM TETER AND VIVALDI’S ALL-FEMALE ORCHESTRA\nKim Teter\, author of the novel Isabella’s Libretto\, will discuss the origins and evolution of an all-girl’s orphanage orchestra that formed in early 18th-century Venice under the direction of a young Don Antonio Vivaldi\, the colorful and complex maestro who was destined to make musical history as a great composer\, conductor\, and violinist. Attendees may view the accompanying exhibition A Life of Seduction: Venice in the 1700s.

Photo by Rick Guidotti. \nGreat Houses of Havana by Hermes Mallea celebrates one hundred years of creativity\, design\, and style that made Havana “the Paris of the Caribbean.” For four hundred years\, the Cuban capital was the center of Spanish trade in the western hemisphere. With the expansion of the sugar industry\, independence from Spain\, and North American investment\, Havana became a city of great wealth\, great style\, and great houses in a vocabulary that was a unique amalgam of European\, American\, and Caribbean elements. Great Houses of Havana traces the evolution of the Cuban home from the classic\, Spanish colonial courtyard house to the “Tropical Modernist” villas of the 1950s—houses reflecting international architecture trends while remaining true to the Cuban tradition. \nHermes Mallea is an architect and a partner in the New York City based firm M(Group). Mallea studied at the University of Miami’s School of Architecture and Columbia University’s graduate school of Historic Preservation and is a member of the American Institute of Architects (AIA). A longtime collector of vintage Cuban photographs\, Mr. Mallea has travelled to Cuba frequently to do research for his current book and to lecture on historic preservation.

Johnson\, professor of history at Boston University\, will provide a spirited historical analysis of masking both during and outside of Carnevale in Venice. Johnson is the author of Venice Incognito\, published by the University of California Press in 2011. He draws on a wealth of material to explore the worldview of maskers and reconstructs their logic: covering the face in public was a uniquely Venetian response to one of the most rigid class hierarchies in European history. This vivid account goes beyond common views that masking was about forgetting the past and minding the muse of pleasure to offer fresh insight into the historical construction of identity. \nABOUT THE WINGS OF THE DOVE\nUNO professor Laszlo Fulop curates a series of three films set in the fabled Italian city of Venice beginning with The Wings of the Dove\, a British-American romantic drama directed by Iain Softley and starring Helena Bonham Carter\, Linus Roache\, and Alison Elliott.

This event is free to NOMA members (admission prices to apply for other visitors) and open to the public\, along with a reception following the talk on NOMA’s third floor. For more information about the 14th Annual Tulane Maya Symposium\, titled “Monumental Landscapes: How the Maya Shaped Their World\,” please visit the university’s website. \nMusic for the night is by the Arpa Quartet\, a Latin jazz group\, from 5:30 – 8:30. \nABOUT DR. ARLEN CHASE AND ARCHAEOLOGY IN CARACOL\, BELIZE\nAt A.D. 650 the city of Caracol\, Belize\, covered more than 200 square kilometers and was economically and socially integrated through a dendritic road system that connected the city’s edges with its central hub\, an architectural complex rising some 143 feet above its adjacent plaza. The inhabitants of the city\, numbering at least 100\,000 people\, resided in over 9\,000 residential groups. These household groups produced goods for broader distribution and shared in a distinctive Caracol cultural and religious identity; their residential units were also intermixed with extensive agricultural terracing that served their subsistence needs. Public architecture and plazas were localized at causeway termini and junctions throughout the city and served administrative and economic purposes. When examined holistically\, Caracol’s impact on the ancient Maya world was substantial. The city constituted a monumental ancient Maya landscape not only for its site size and population\, the scale of its agricultural terraforming\, and the ritual integration of its its populace\, but also for its interaction with\, and at least temporary incorporation of\, other Maya sites within its political sphere (specifically Naranjo and Tikal in Guatemala). Thus\, while a relative “latecomer” among Maya centers\, Caracol is a paramount example of how the Maya could and did shape their world. \nArlen F. Chase (Ph.D. 1983\, University of Pennsylvania) joined the University of Nevada\, Las Vegas in August 2016 as a professor in the Department of Anthropology in the College of Liberal Arts. For the previous 32 years of his career\, he was at the University of Central Florida where he last served as an associate dean in the College of Sciences and as a Pegasus Professor in Anthropology. His research interests focus on archaeological method and theory in the Maya area with particular emphasis on contextual\, settlement\, and ceramic analysis and secondary interests on urbanism\, ethnicity\, and epigraphic interpretation. For 33 years he has co-directed annual excavations at Caracol\, Belize; before that he worked on a seven-year project at Santa Rita Corozal\, Belize. He has also carried out fieldwork in the countries of Guatemala and Mexico as well as in Arizona and Pennsylvania in the United States. He has authored over 150 articles and book chapters. His writings may be found at www.caracol.org.

This exhibition celebrates the theater and spectacle of Venice—in public and private life—in paintings\, costumes\, furnishings\, glass and ceremonial regalia. Renowned for its beauty and singularity\, Venice played a central role in the history of Western art. In the 18th century the city experienced a revival in the arts and was the premier destination for intellectuals and travelers. The city and its inhabitants cultivated and eulogized a tradition of street life\, festivals and fashion. \nGuest curated by Giandomenico Romanelli\, the former director of the Civic Museums of Venice\, A Life of Seduction examines this culture of display and sensuality through four primary themes: A City That Lives on Water\, The Celebration of Power\, Aristocratic Life in Town and Country and The City As Theater. \nVanessa Schmid\, Senior Research Curator for European Art\, will guide visitors through this timely exhibition\, opening eleven days prior to Mardi Gras\, past paintings that depict Carnival in Venice along with 18th-century masks and costumes. Schmid contributed an essay to the catalogue that will accompany this exhibition on an exceptional series of paintings by Joseph Heintz the Younger.

Born in Martinique\, raised in Paris\, she studied piano for many years before moving to New York City where she joined the Living Theater and then decided to devote her life entirely to music. She studied guitar with Ted Dunbar through the Jazz Mobile program.

Her shows are fun\, sultry\, old-fashioned\, sexy\, and sometimes silly; a musical journey to the Crescent City. \n  URL:https://nomastaging.org/event/friday-nights-noma-family-art-activities-jayna-morgan-music/ LOCATION:New Orleans Museum of Art\, 1 Collins Diboll Circle\, New Orleans\, LA\, 70119 CATEGORIES:NOMA at Night ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://nomastaging.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Friday_Nights_at_NOMA_logo-1375216699.jpg GEO:29.9864897;-90.0938943 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=New Orleans Museum of Art 1 Collins Diboll Circle New Orleans LA 70119;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=1 Collins Diboll Circle:geo:-90.0938943,29.9864897 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20170120T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20170120T210000 DTSTAMP:20251108T062756 CREATED:20161222T201545Z LAST-MODIFIED:20161223T151247Z UID:20082-1484931600-1484946000@nomastaging.org SUMMARY:Friday Nights at NOMA: Gallery Talk on George Dunbar\, Amanda Shaw music DESCRIPTION:Friday Nights at NOMA opens the museum’s doors for many interesting activities: live music\, movies\, children’s activities\, and more. \n\n5 to 8 pm: Art on the Spot\n5:30  to 8:30 pm: Music by Amanda Shaw\n6 pm: George Dunbar: Elements of Chance: Gallery Talk with Katie Pfhol\n\nAbout George Dunbar\nJoin curator Katie Pfohl as she gives a Gallery Talk entitled George Dunbar: Landscape and Place. \nThis talk explores NOMA’s current exhibition George Dunbar: Elements of Chance\, focusing on Dunbar’s role in introducing abstract art to the South. Dunbar’s richly textured works explore abstract art’s connection to landscape and place\, and this talk will introduce Dunbar’s unique vision for abstraction and highlight Louisiana’s pivotal—if widely underestimated—role in the broader story of 20th century American art. \nAbout Amanda Shaw\n\nAt 24 years old\, fiddle player and singer\, Amanda Shaw is part of the new breed of young\, roots-based musicians (i.e.\, Lumineers\, Mumford\, Ed Sharp\, Old Crow Medicine Show\, Alabama Shakes) who have embraced both traditional sounds and pop sounds of the mainstream. Her roots lie in Louisiana\, mixing her classically trained violin playing with Cajun dancehall melodies and vocals that drip sweet cherry pie and southern girl grit.  Amanda counts Loretta Lynn\, Dolly Parton\, Shania Twain\, Chrissie Hynde\, and Bonnie Raitt as her primary influences. Not only for their strong vocals and powerful styles\, but also because they broke new ground with their crossover success and successfully integrating the sound of their roots to the mainstream and this reflects in her own girl-powered sexy\, sassiness of her live performances\, her sharp witty lyrics and her fashion statements. Amanda has spent her youth implementing the same mission as her role models\, becoming one of the leading Cajun fiddlers today. Her deep talent led to becoming one of the youngest headliners at music festivals not only throughout the world. \n\n  \n  URL:https://nomastaging.org/event/friday-nights-noma-gallery-talk-george-dunbar-amanda-shaw-music/ LOCATION:New Orleans Museum of Art\, 1 Collins Diboll Circle\, New Orleans\, LA\, 70119 CATEGORIES:NOMA at Night ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://nomastaging.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/WIDGET-George-Dunbar-portrait.jpg GEO:29.9864897;-90.0938943 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=New Orleans Museum of Art 1 Collins Diboll Circle New Orleans LA 70119;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=1 Collins Diboll Circle:geo:-90.0938943,29.9864897 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20170113T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20170113T210000 DTSTAMP:20251108T062756 CREATED:20161222T195651Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170531T193459Z UID:20077-1484326800-1484341200@nomastaging.org SUMMARY:Friday Nights at NOMA: "Celebrating the Senses" lecture\, Hockney film DESCRIPTION:Friday Nights at NOMA opens the museum’s doors for many interesting activities: live music\, movies\, children’s activities\, and more. \n\n5 to 8 pm: Art on the Spot\n5:30 to 8:30 pm: Music by Ben Redwine\n6:30 pm: Seeing Nature lecture: Vanessa Schmid: Celebrating the Senses\n8 to 9 pm: Film: David Hockney: A Bigger Picture\n\nAbout Celebrating the Senses\nVisitors to the Seeing Nature exhibition have been captivated by Jan Brueghel the Younger’s exquisite paintings of the five senses. NOMA curator Vanessa I. Schmid will focus on the series in her lecture and tour on Friday evening. We will start in the auditorium with a lecture to give context for the paintings\, including: the tradition of ‘Kunstkammer’ (or curiosity chambers of wonders)\, Jan Brueghel’s art (and that of the Brueghel Dynasty)\, and Antwerp as a port and artistic center in the period. The second half of the discussion will take place in the galleries. Schmid previewed the Seeing Nature exhibition in a NOMA video. \nAbout David Hockney: A Bigger Picture\nFilmed over three years\, this documentary is an unprecedented record of a major artist at work. It captures David Hockney’s return from California to paint his native Yorkshire\, outside\, through the seasons and in all weathers. It tells the story of a homecoming and gives a revealing portrait of what inspires and motivates today’s greatest living British-born artist. (2009\, 60 minutes) A colossal landscape by Hockney is included in NOMA’s current Seeing Nature exhibition. \nAbout Ben Redwine\nNew Orleans based clarinetist Ben Redwine feels equally comfortable playing Brahms or Ellington. He is devoted to the performance of new classical music and old jazz\, as well as to teaching the next generation of performers and teachers. He served as an Assistant Professor at The Catholic University of America in Washington\, DC from 2012-2016. In 2014\, he retired after 27 years in the US military band system\, the majority of time serving as the e-flat clarinet soloist with the US Naval Academy Band in Annapolis\, Maryland.

Nunn has transferred the time period to the Victorian Era of the late 19th century. Two twins\, Viola (Imogen Stubbs) and Sebastian (Steven MacKintosh)\, are separated when their ship capsizes. Each believes that the other has drowned. Viola washes ashore on the coast of Illyria. She disguises herself as a man and assumes the name Cesario so that she can take a position as an aide to the Duke\, Orsinio (Toby Stephens). Orsinio desires Olivia (Helena Bonham Carter)\, who refuses his attentions. He also flirts with Maria (Imelda Staunton)\, Olivia’s maid. Orsinio sends Cesario as an emissary to Olivia. The foppish Sir Andrew Aguecheek (Richard E. Grant) also seeks Olivia’s love. He is a friend of her besotted uncle\, Sir Toby Belch (Mel Smith). With the clownish philosopher Feste (Ben Kingsley)\, all these members of Olivia’s household plot to embarrass the dour Malvolio (Nigel Hawthorne)\, a butler who has no tolerance for frivolity. They fool Malvolio into thinking that Olivia desires him\, and when he confesses his love\, Olivia orders him imprisoned as a madman. Sebastian then turns up and is mistaken for Cesario. A series of mishaps follows. (1996\, 125 minutes) \nAbout Cathy Anderson\nCatherine Anderson promotes the harp as an instrument of beauty\, healing\, and artistry.

In this lecture\, Dr. Rachael DeLue considers this question\, characterizing the manner in which European and American artists from various time periods and regions approached the representation of nature as a unique way of seeing and understanding the world. Focusing on works from the Paul G. Allen Family Collection\, Dr. DeLue discusses how translating nature in all its vastness and complexity into pictorial form through paint and canvas—as a geographer would with topographic surveys and maps—provided these artists and their audiences with a way of deriving profound meaning from nature’s infinitely varied phenomena and forms. \nAbout Rachael Z. DeLue\nRachael Z. DeLue is Associate Professor of art history at Princeton University.  She specializes in the history of American art and visual culture\, with particular focus on intersections among art\, science\, and the history and theory of knowledge.  She is currently at work on a study of Charles Darwin’s diagram of evolution in On the Origin of Species as well as a book about impossible images.  She serves as the editor-in-chief of the Terra Foundation Essays\, and she edited Picturing (2016)\, the first volume in the series.  Publications include George Inness and the Science of Landscape (2004)\, Landscape Theory (2008\, co-edited with James Elkins)\, and Arthur Dove: Always Connect (2016). \n  \n  URL:https://nomastaging.org/event/friday-nights-noma-seeing-nature-lecture-rachael-z-delue/ LOCATION:New Orleans Museum of Art\, 1 Collins Diboll Circle\, New Orleans\, LA\, 70119 CATEGORIES:NOMA at Night ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://nomastaging.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Manet.jpg GEO:29.9864897;-90.0938943 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=New Orleans Museum of Art 1 Collins Diboll Circle New Orleans LA 70119;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=1 Collins Diboll Circle:geo:-90.0938943,29.9864897 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20161209T163000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20161209T210000 DTSTAMP:20251108T062756 CREATED:20161118T222209Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170531T194121Z UID:19361-1481301000-1481317200@nomastaging.org SUMMARY:Friday Nights at NOMA: Author Maxwell Anderson and artist Scott Andresen DESCRIPTION:Friday Nights at NOMA opens the museum’s doors for many interesting activities: live music\, movies\, children’s activities\, and more. \n\n5 to 8 pm: Art On the Spot\n5:30 to 8:30 pm: Music: The Ramblin’ Letters\n6 pm: Book signing: Antiquities: What Everyone Needs to Know by Maxwell Anderson\n7 pm:  Artist Perspective with Scott Andresen: George Dunbar: The Practice of Cultivation. As a planner and builder Dunbar manipulated the landscape around him\, many of these processes became forms of inspiration in his art. This talk will focus on how aspects of personal narrative find their way into an abstract artistic practice by exploring many integral series of George Dunbar’s career.\n\nAbout Antiquities: What Everyone Needs to Know by Maxwell Anderson\nThe destruction of ancient monuments and artworks by the Taliban in Afghanistan and the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria has shocked observers worldwide. Yet iconoclastic erasures of the past date back at least to the mid-1300s BCE\, during the Amarna Period of ancient Egypt’s 18th dynasty. Far more damage to the past has been inflicted by natural disasters\, looters\, and public works. \nArt historian Maxwell Anderson’s Antiquities: What Everyone Needs to Know analyzes continuing threats to our heritage\, and offers a balanced account of treaties and laws governing the circulation of objects; the history of collecting antiquities; how forgeries are made and detected; how authentic works are documented\, stored\, dispersed\, and displayed; the politics of sending antiquities back to their countries of origin; and the outlook for an expanded legal market. Anderson provides a summary of challenges ahead\, including the future of underwater archaeology\, the use of drones\, remote sensing\, and how invisible markings on antiquities will allow them to be traced. \nAbout Scott Andresen\nScott Andresen is an artist who lives and works in New Orlean. His collage and mixed media based works explore themes of repair and the joining of the unlikely.

Thomas (David Hemmings) is a nihilistic\, wealthy fashion photographer in mod “Swinging London.” Filled with ennui\, bored with his “fab” but oddly lifeless existence of casual sex and drug use\, Thomas comes alive when he wanders through a park\, stops to take pictures of a couple embracing\, and upon developing the images\, believes that he has photographed a murder. Pursued by Jane (Vanessa Redgrave)\, the woman who is in the photos\, Thomas pretends to give her the pictures\, but in reality\, he passes off a different roll of film to her. Thomas returns to the park and discovers that there is\, indeed\, a dead body lying in the shrubbery: the gray-haired man who was embracing Jane. Has she murdered him\, or does Thomas’ photo reveal a man with a gun hiding nearby? Antonioni’s thriller is a puzzling\, existential\, adroitly assembled masterpiece. (111 minutes) \nAbout Calvin Johnson\, Jr.\nCalvin A. Johnson Jr (born November 21\, 1985) is a saxophonist\, composer\, bandleader\, and actor born and raised in New Orleans\, Louisiana. A third-generation musician\, Calvin has played the saxophone since age 7\, and has studied under Edward “Kidd” Jordan\, as well as Clyde Kerr Jr. and Kent Jordan at the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts (NOCCA).
