Film Review: The 2022 Tribeca Film Festival — Where the Yellow Brick Road Leads to David Lynch

As always, the documentaries at the Tribeca Film Festival were where you found the best films. Here are four I would recommend.

Film Review: Driving to the Exit – Panah Panahi’s “Hit the Road”

Panah Panahi’s film is a powerful ode to the will to escape a restrictive society — and to tell stories.

Visual Arts Review: Photographer Diane Arbus – the Prequel

The variety of these photos give us more than just a sense of what Arbus would be doing for the last decade of her life.

By: David D'Arcy Filed Under: Featured, Review, Visual Arts Tagged: Diane Arbus, Diane Arbus: in the beginning

Book Review: Photographer Diane Arbus — Lingering Mysteries

“A photograph is a secret about a secret. The more it tells you, the less you know,” Diane Arbus said. Her biographer notes that observation. Hard as he tries, many secrets remain.

Film Review: “In Jackson Heights”—An Urban Village Going Global

As with so many Frederick Wiseman films, we get color, character, sociology – and cinema.

By: David D’Arcy Filed Under: Featured, Film, Review Tagged: documentary, Frederick Wiseman, In Jackson Heights, New York, Queens

Fuse Visual Arts: Free For The Holidays — Picasso and Photography (and Jacqueline)

Gagosian Gallery’s show Picasso & the Camera is the art bargain of the season.

Visual Arts Feature: Tadao Ando at the Clark — More than Meets the Eye in Williamstown

Tadao Ando’s new Clark, minimalist in its materials and understated presence, is more Zen than a billboard for its disparate architectural elements, more harmony than postmodern dissonance.

By: David D’Arcy Filed Under: Featured, Fuse News, Visual Arts Tagged: Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute, Tadao Ando

Film Review: “WHITEY” — Rat or Robin Hood? Whitey in his Own Words

By the end of the documentary, you’re in no doubt that Whitey Bulger was beneath dignity. Though not in his own eyes. There’s even vanity left in a crook who trims his white beard so scrupulously.

By: David D'Arcy Filed Under: Featured, Film, Review Tagged: David D'Arcy, James J Bulger, Joe Berlinger, WHITEY

Visual Arts Review: Italian Futurism — The Future That Wasn’t

Futurism, as the Italian proponents conceived of it, ended up not having much of a future. But its practitioners had some good days at the beginning.

By: David D'Arcy Filed Under: Featured, Review, Visual Arts Tagged: 1909-1944: Reconstructing the Universe, David D'Arcy, F. T. Marinetti, Italian Futurism, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, Umberto Boccioni

Visual Arts Review: “Maus” and More — Art Spiegelman at the Jewish Museum

Art Spiegelman believes that “MAD” magazine was more subversive for his generation of protesters than either marijuana or LSD. It certainly radicalized him.

By: David D’Arcy Filed Under: Featured, Visual Arts Tagged: Art Spiegelman, cartoons, comics, MAD, Maus
