  • Exit Through the Gift Shop
    Exit Through the Gift Shop
    When British stencil artist Banksy traveled to Los Angeles to work, he came across obscure French filmmaker Thierry Guetta and his badly organized collection of videotapes involving the activities of graffiti artists. Inspired, Banksy assembled them with new footage to create this talked-about documentary, and the result is a mind-boggling and odd film (so strange as to be thought a hoax by some) about outsider artists and the definition of art itself.

“State of the Art” - Online

DateFriday, April 10, 2020 at 8:00AM

Hans Hofmann - Veluti in Speculum - 1962 - Oil on canvas - 85 1/4 x 73 1/2 in. (216.5 x 186.7 cm) - Metropolitan Museum of Art, NYThe first session of the “Ninth Street Women” Series Online, offered by Bethany Arts Community is entitled, “State of the Art”. You do need to enroll in the seven-week session in order to attend. Learn more about the program and Register HERE. You’ll also get some tips on how to participate in online programs.

In the introductory session, we’ll take a look at art as an ongoing continuum. Then we’ll explore the trends in art and culture that led to a collective desire to change the direction of visual art.

What the Surrealists began, with their exploration of blending the unconscious with the conscious mind, later artists took to wholly new expressions of the self. Post-war trauma and anxiety shaped both their processes and their products. 

Join us to have a look at the world and the traditions that gave birth to the Ninth Street women.
