SUMMARY:Artist's Choice Film Series: La Jetée
DESCRIPTION:Bodies of Knowledge brings together ten international contemporary artists to reflect on the role that language plays in archiving and asserting our cultural identities. In conjunction with this exhibition\, NOMA will be screening movies selected by these artists that reflect their inspirations\, interests\, and ideals. \nArtist’s Choice Film Series \n\nSaturday\, June 29\, 2 pm | Adriana Corral selects The Constant Gardener (2005 | Rated R | 2 hours\, 8 minutes)\nSaturday\, August 17\, 2 pm  | Manon Bellet selects La Jetée (1962 | Not rated | 28 minutes)\nSaturday\, August 24\, 3 pm  | Garrett Bradley selects Sidewalk Stories (1989 | Rated R | 1 hour\, 37 minutes)\nSaturday\, September 14\, 2 pm | Mahmoud Chouki selects Whatever Lola Wants (2007 | Not rated | 1 hour\, 55 minutes)\nSaturday\, October 5\,  5 pm | Edward Spots selects Fame (1980 | Rated R |  2 hours\, 14 minutes)\n\nABOUT LA JETÉE\nLa Jetée  is a 1962 French Left Bank\, black-and-white science-fiction featurette by Chris Marker. Constructed almost entirely from still photos\, it tells the story of a post-nuclear war experiment in time travel. \nA man (Davos Hanich) is a prisoner in the aftermath of World War III in post-apocalyptic Paris\, where survivors live underground in the Palais de Chaillot galleries. Scientists research time travel hoping to send test subjects to different time periods “to call past and future to the rescue of the present”. They have difficulty finding subjects who can mentally withstand the shock of time travel. The scientists eventually settle upon the prisoner; his key to the past is a vague but obsessive memory from his pre-war childhood of a woman he had seen on the observation platform (“the jetty”) at Orly Airport shortly before witnessing a startling incident there. He did not understand exactly what happened\, but knew he had seen a man die. \nAfter several attempts\, he reaches the pre-war period. He meets the woman from his memory\, and they develop a romantic relationship. After his successful passages to the past\, the experimenters attempt to send him into the far future. In a brief meeting with the technologically advanced people of the future\, he is given a power unit sufficient to regenerate his own destroyed society\, but the movie takes an unexpected turn that prevents this rebuilding of the future.

He will prepare shrimp and corn bisque as part of a series inspired by culinary mentors\, in tribute to the exhibition Bodies of Knowledge. \nABOUT SAFAR WITH MAHMOUD CHOUKI\, CYRILLE AIMEE\, AND RICARDO PASCAL\nThroughout the run of Bodies of Knowledge\, Mahmoud Chouki will create a new musical composition and series of site-specific performances for the exhibition\,  collectively titled Safar\, that explore how music can speak across cultural divides to envision new forms of dialogue between East and West. Chouki will be joined by French vocalist Cyrille Aimee and jazz saxophonist Ricardo Pascal. \nMahmoud Chouki is a master guitarist\, multi-instrumentalist and composer living and working in New Orleans. His art draws together music from many different international contexts to consider how music can speak across cultural divides. His own compositions incorporate musical influences from across the globe\, ranging from European classical\, Andalusian from Southern Spain\, Levantine music from the Middle East\, Maghrebian music from North Africa\, Latin American music\, and jazz from the Southern United States. Integrating sounds and rhythms from many different cultures\, Chouki combines classical guitar with instruments such as the loutar\, a traditional instrument of the Middle Atlas region of Morocco; the sintir\, a Sub-Saharan instrument from the Sahel region (Mali); the oud\, an oriental lute; the Algerian mandole\, a steel-string fretted instrument resembling an elongated mandolin; the Bağlama saz\, a Turkish long necked bowl-lute; the banjo\, and a variety of percussion instruments. As artistic director of Rencontre Orient-Occident at Chateau Mercier in Sierre\, Switzerland\, Chouki has brought together a wide range of international musicians to envision new forms of dialogue between East and West\, with music often the only common language between performers. \nFuture performances on Wednesdays at 3 pm by Chouki and guest musicians include: \n\nSeptember 11: Jesse Autumn\nOctober 9: Martin Masakowski\n\nFriday Nights at NOMA performances (5:30 – 8:30 pm): \n\nSeptember 13: Georgi Petrov and Sam Dickie\nOctober 13: Final Ensemble Concert\n\n\n\nFriday Nights at NOMA is supported in part by grant funds from the Azby Fund; Ruby K. Worner Charitable Trust; New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival and Foundation; and the Louisiana Division of the Arts\, Office of Cultural Development\, Department of Culture\, Recreation and Tourism\, in cooperation with the Louisiana State Arts Council.

SUMMARY:Artist's Choice Film Series: Sidewalk Stories
DESCRIPTION:Bodies of Knowledge brings together ten international contemporary artists to reflect on the role that language plays in archiving and asserting our cultural identities. In conjunction with this exhibition\, NOMA will be screening movies selected by these artists that reflect their inspirations\, interests\, and ideals. \nArtist’s Choice Film Series \n\nSaturday\, June 29\, 2 pm | Adriana Corral selects The Constant Gardener (2005 | Rated R | 2 hours\, 8 minutes)\nSaturday\, August 17\, 2 pm  | Manon Bellet selects La Jetée (1962 | Not rated | 28 minutes)\nSaturday\, August 24\, 3 pm  | Garrett Bradley selects Sidewalk Stories (1989 | Rated R | 1 hour\, 37 minutes)\nSaturday\, September 14\, 2 pm | Mahmoud Chouki selects Whatever Lola Wants (2007 | Not rated | 1 hour\, 55 minutes)\nSaturday\, October 5\,  5 pm | Edward Spots selects Fame (1980 | Rated R |  2 hours\, 14 minutes)\n\nABOUT SIDEWALK STORIES\nIn this almost entirely silent film\, a homeless artist (Charles Lane) is forced to play surrogate parent when the father of a young girl (Nicole Alysia) is murdered. Taking the child into the depths of the slums that he calls home\, the artist keeps the little girl healthy and happy while doing his best to search for her living relatives. As the artist and the child venture through the streets together\, they meet a strange assortment of characters while slowly developing an intimate friendship. Ultimately the artist winds up in a horse-drawn chase of the murderers. The film was inspired by Charlie Chaplin’s The Little Tramp\, filmed in 1915. Watch the trailer.

SUMMARY:Gallery Talk about Wafaa Bilal's 168:01
DESCRIPTION:NOMA curators will be present to discuss artist Wafaa Bilal’s interactive installation 168:01 in the exhibition Bodies of Knowledge. The work is comprised of a large bookshelf filled with blank\, white books which symbolizes the burning and looting of libraries in Baghdad during the 2003 American invasion of Iraq. Museum visitors are invited to transform the shelves from austere white to color by donating a book that will be shipped to the College of Fine Arts at the University of Baghdad at the closing of the exhibition. In exchange for a new book (for sale in the Museum Shop) visitors may take home one of the white volumes\, which are meant to serve as a reminder that across the globe many people are denied equal access to knowledge. \nWednesday admission is free to all Louisiana residents courtesy of The Helis Foundation.

But is all as it seems? And will new power lead to moral purity\, or to ultimate corruption? Shakespeare’s Measure for Measure is a brilliant play almost absurdly well-fashioned for our modern American age of divisive politics and legal retribution. \nAnd even more exciting\, The NOLA Project is proud to partner with PlayOn Shakespeare to present this production with a world-premiere new modern-verse translation by playwright AdidiBrennan Kapil with support from the Hitz Foundation. \nAs a part of PlayOn Shakespeare\, the Oregon Shakespeare Festival commissioned 36 playwrights—more than half are women and more than half are playwrights of color\, each paired with a dramaturg—to translate Shakespeare’s works into contemporary modern English to celebrate the enduring impact of the Bard’s plays. These commissions challenge the playwrights to bring the same level of dramatic pressure and rigor of language to their work as is present in the originals\, deepening our understanding and engagement with Shakespeare. The NOLA Project is excited to present this classic story and fresh modern translation\, directed by Mark Routhier\, in NOMA’s opulent Great Hall. \n

SUMMARY:Safar musical performance with Mahmoud Chouki and Jesse Autumn
DESCRIPTION:Throughout the run of Bodies of Knowledge\, Mahmoud Chouki will create a new musical composition and series of site-specific performances for the exhibition\,  collectively titled Safar\, that explore how music can speak across cultural divides to envision new forms of dialogue between East and West.

SUMMARY:Activation of Brève braises with artist Manon Bellet and Justin Peake
DESCRIPTION:In the installation Brève braises\, artist Manon Bellet affixes the charred remains of burned paper on the walls of the gallery in the exhibition Bodies of Knowledge. From these tattered remains\, she creates a script or musical score that runs across an entire length of a long white wall. Created in collaboration with musicians that Bellet invites to compose an accompanying musical score\, these burned fragments of paper have a graphic dynamism and rhythm that resembles that of improvisational music or impromptu speech. Over the course of her installation\, she allows these papers gradually drop to the floor\, encouraged by movement of air generated by the improvisational energy of bodies and instruments as the move through and activate the installation. \nMusician Justin Peake will participate in this activation. \nJustin Peake is an New Orleans-based drummer\, composer\, technologist\, visual artist and researcher. His music features acoustic and electronic elements including his own interactive software instruments. He produces music for dance as well as audio-visual installations. He is a graduate of NYU’s Interactive Telecommunications Program\, where he focused on building new software for variably structured improvisation in performance. He has released music on the Moodgadget\, Ghostly International\, Ears & Eyes\, and Articulated Works labels.

SUMMARY:The Helis Foundation Artist Talk: Adriana Corral with Héctor Domínguez-Ruvalcaba
DESCRIPTION:Adriana Corral\, among the eleven artists represented in Bodies of Knowledge\, will join Héctor Domínguez-Ruvalcaba\, associate professor at the Department of Spanish and Portuguese at the University of Texas Austin\, in conversation about Corral’s work. Admission is free courtesy of The Helis Foundation’s Art for All free day. \nAdriana Corral’s work draws attention to the widespread disappearances and murders of women and girls in Juarez\, Chihuahua\, Mexico. Through her site-specific installation at NOMA\, Memento\, Corral transfers the women’s names onto the museum’s wall. Honoring the women killed in these acts of violence\, Corral reduces to ashes the transferred name documents\, creating an ash burial plot sifted onto the museum floor. Given the instability and fragility of her material\, the names become illegible\, yet the process of inscribing them honors the lost histories of these unknown victims. Memento memorializes the victims of human rights violations while also speaking to the politics of silence\, disappearance\, and absence that mark contemporary geopolitics.

SUMMARY:Gallery activation of Wafaa Bilal's 168:01
DESCRIPTION:NOMA curators will be present to discuss artist Wafaa Bilal’s interactive installation 168:01 in the exhibition Bodies of Knowledge. The work is comprised of a large bookshelf filled with blank\, white books which symbolizes the burning and looting of libraries in Baghdad during the 2003 American invasion of Iraq. Museum visitors are invited to transform the shelves from austere white to color by donating a book that will be shipped to the College of Fine Arts at the University of Baghdad at the close of the exhibition. In exchange for a new book (for sale in the Museum Shop) visitors may take home one of the white volumes\, which are meant to serve as a reminder that across the globe many people are denied equal access to knowledge. \nWriter\, curator\, and visual artist Kristina Kay Robinson will discuss the connectivity between Iraq and New Orleans and also read from an original piece of nonfiction about Iraq and events of 9-11. \nWednesday admission is free to all Louisiana residents courtesy of The Helis Foundation. \nABOUT KRISTINA KAY ROBINSON\nKristina Kay Robinson is a writer\, curator\, and visual artist born and raised in New Orleans\, Louisiana.
