Infinite Space traces the lifelong quest of visionary genius John Lautner to create “architecture that has no beginning and no end.” As a young man, Lautner broke from his mentor, Frank Lloyd Wright, and moved west to California to forge his own

style. Idolized by young modernists, criticized by academics, and beloved by his clients, he led a life in pursuit of unusual beauty. Renowned architectural filmmaker Murray Grigor explores Lautner’s dramatic spaces, from L.A.’s Chemosphere to the Elrod House in Palm Springs. (Murray Grigor, 2009, 90 min.) The series is presented in collaboration with the Santa Barbara County Arts Commission. Tickets for each screening are $10 for the general public and $5 for all students with a current student ID. Each ticket includes a complimentary post-screening reception for those ages 21+. For tickets call 893-3535 or visit www.ArtsAndLectures.UCSB.edu.

One of the world’s greatest living painters, Gerhard Richter has spent over half a century experimenting with a tremendous range of ideas and

techniques in his enigmatic artwork. This fly-on-the-wall documentary reveals his ingenious process as he mixes layer upon layer of bold colors, smears the paint with a giant squeegee and scrapes away at the canvas. It also includes rare archival footage and intimate conversations with Richter’s critics and collaborators. (Corinna Belz, 2011, 97 min.)

The present seems the thinnest membrane Between past and future, the sliver of an instant

By Carol DeCanio / Special to CASA

�� Kurt Brown �� PRESENT TENSE The trick, say gurus, is to stay in the present though even while saying it, the present ﬂees. Words disappear into past-time by the end of the sentence which proposes to arrest it. Time is money, we say, but it is also language. Words take time and split it into separate realms.

We pass through without ever being there. Before, we say, and after and now. But isn’t that what childhood is all about, a pre-verbal idyll without time Before the snake of language slithered in and hissed you are dying, you will die, you have died.

�� ABOUT TIME Real time, prime time, quality time, face time – aren’t we just talking about life but parsing it into separate orders of experience> But experience of what: attention, existence, consciousness? Isn’t time like the wind- everywhere an agent, but invisible, blowing leaves, knocking down houses, shoving the sea from one continent to the next? Time itself is a destroyer. But it’s also a Creator. Sounds crazy, but that’s the real enigma of Time. And where does time abide, where does it live: in cuckoo clocks (19th century time), or wristwatches (20th century time), or sundials (14th century time)? And if time moves one way, why not another? Can we travel back on it, as Speke and Burton Traveled up the Nile to reach its ultimate source?

Time funnels through an hour glass, though it’s only sand squeezing through a pinched spot, and sand isn’t time, although it takes ages to make, the grist of innumerable ground rocks. Arguments About Time tend to end this way – where they began. Yet time is everything, even though it’s nothing. Though not for us. For us it is everything, my love.

�� For Miklós Radnóti May 5th, 1909 – November 9th, 1944 You lie awake among the snores and groans, the stiﬂed cries that nightmares cause, haunting the sleepers. Outside, fog settles on the barracks like a blanket on a corpse. Halfway across the world I’m awake too, a child only six months old, whose mother cups his head with a tender hand, to whom she coos, then tucks him under soft covers.

�� spills into the cramped conﬁnes of your room, spreading the hellish glint of pale ﬁres. Those scratchings in the dark have reached us here Miklós, in the light of a future age you never lived to see. And today it’s me, I’m the one who reads your poems, page by page, and lives your nightmares with you though I never had to cower like a trapped animal. We shared nothing but the fragment of a year until fate found you and stopped your words. But I’m alive to tell you that your poems survive, your poems were saved and are read, even in this alien tongue, though you took them with you to your grave.

��

By what light do you scratch a letter to your wife- not just a letter but a poem in which you tell her of your dreams, the dream of every man there: “Ah, does our home still exist....Is it still as when we left it?” Perhaps the moon, sliced by sharp wires
