Roof Garden Art, The Theater of Disappearance

Naomi M. Gruer

Stork.

Baby.

A visit to the Metropolitan Museum of Art wouldn’t be complete without a visit to the roof. Not only do you get an amazing view of Manhattan, you get to explore changing exhibitions. On view until October 29, 2017 is sculptor Adrián Villar Rojas‘ The Theater of Disappearance, a “performative diorama, where banquet tables occupy an oversize black-and-white checkerboard floor punctuated by sculptures that fuse together human figures and artifacts found within the museum. The resulting juxtapositions put forth a radical reinterpretation of museum practices.”

Argentinian artist Adrián Villar Rojas has transformed the Cantor Roof with an intricate site-specific installation that uses the Museum itself as its raw material. Featuring detailed replicas of nearly 100 objects from The Met collection, The Theater of Disappearance encompasses thousands of years of artistic production over several continents and cultures, and fuses them with facsimiles of contemporary human figures as…

As a kid, I remember watching Wonder Woman and being awed that a woman could do the things she could. I didn’t see that a lot on television and it’s one of the reasons I try and write diverse characters so that others can see themselves for the wonderful, remarkable individuals they are regardless of who they are, the color of their skin, their gender, their religion.

Ghost House (2017)

Wildfire Movies

Starring: Scout Taylor-Compton, James Landry Hebert, Michael S New, Mark Boone Junior

Director: Rich Ragsdale

On holiday in Thailand, a young couple fall in with some new friends, who offer, after a drinking and strip club session, to take them to an amazing photo opportunity. Taken to a strange and eerie forest, to see ghost houses, model size dwellings for spirits, the young woman is tricked into taking on the curse of the ghost house there.
