Anna Weyant Selects

March 22–24, 2024
Metrograph, New York
metrograph.com

Anna Weyant has curated a selection of three films as part of an ongoing series copresented by Gagosian and Metrograph. Weyant comments, “The experience of watching each of these films is markedly different with respect to their individual style, storytelling, aesthetic, and dialogue. When I consider what it is about these stories that resonates with me, I am repeatedly drawn to their through lines of the power dynamics, complexities, and deceptions in relationships (and society); the uneasiness that comes from not fully knowing one’s surroundings (or the company one keeps); and our inherent desires for connection in an increasingly isolating world.”

Featured films include
Lost in Translation (2003, directed by Sofia Coppola)
Gone Girl (2014, directed by David Fincher)
Parasite (2019, directed by Bong Joon Ho)

Opening this Week

Francesca Woodman and Julia Margaret Cameron
Portraits to Dream In

March 21–June 16, 2024
National Portrait Gallery, London
www.npg.org.uk

Photographers Francesca Woodman (1958–1981) and Julia Margaret Cameron (1815–1879) lived a century apart—Cameron working in the United Kingdom and Sri Lanka from the 1860s onwards, and Woodman in the United States and Italy from the 1970s. Both women explored portraiture, going beyond its ability to record appearance, and using their own creativity and imagination to suggest notions of beauty, symbolism, transformation, and storytelling. Showcasing more than 150 rare vintage prints, this exhibition presents an overview of both artists’ careers, and suggests new ways both to look at their work and to examine how photographic portraiture was created in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
