Painting the Camino de Santiago Oil Paintings by Sonia Kane Cary Town Hall, 316 N. Academy Street, Cary Exhibition runs through Aug. 25 In the summer of 2016, Sonia Kane embarked on a long-awaited, two-week, 150 mile pilgrimage.

Beginning in southwest France and hiking through the Pyrenees into northern Spain, her journey was a reminder of the richness of traveling “at the speed of life”, receiving each day as it unfolds, and being grateful for its many gifts. Come experience the beauty and peace of this pilgrimage through the eyes of an artist as she shares her journey of paintings into the Camino de Santiago.

Rah-Rah! A Collection of Original Paintings from Haiti Gallery C, 540 N. Blount St., Raleigh Exhibition runs through Aug. 31 A mix of African memory, a history of slavery and independence, voodoo traditions, and the joi de vivre of an island paradise, Painting traditions from Haiti remain uncontaminated by Western precedents. Initially labeled “naïve,” “folk” and “primitive,” today Haitian art is highly respected in the cultural consciousness of the international art establishment and is often compared by critics to the work of artists like Gauguin and Rousseau.

#MeToo: NC artist provides commentary in Raleigh, critiques social media Abby Zeugner for Triangle Today Jeana Eve Klein has spent hundreds of hours this summer bent over her sewing machine, surrounded by mounds of scrap fabric and cut-out letters.

For the past month, she has been working on an installation called “#unfriendmeifyoustillsupporthim,” which she calls her most “personal and vulnerable work.” It’s made up of soft sculptures and a series of tapestries, both providing commentary on two social movements.

Klein, a working artist and associate professor of fibers at Appalachian State in Boone, is in Raleigh this summer as the PNC Pop In Artist in Residence at Artspace in downtown.

“Full circle,” said Klein, now 43.

As she has been constructing her piece, her workspace has faced the apartment where she lived in the ‘90s while studying design at N.C. State, when her hope of becoming a professional artist was just beginning to blossom.

One section of soft sculptures is made up of several shapes of the symbol and letters of “#MeToo.” She says she is responding to what she perceives as societal acceptance that the #MeToo movement is an inevitability.

NC Museum of Art, Blue Ridge Road, Raleigh Exhibition runs through Nov. 4 When Lawrence J. Wheeler took the helm of the North Carolina Museum of Art, he recognized that the NCMA could offer the people of North Carolina more, in his words, than “mute art” on the wall. Wheeler accomplished an ambitious program that culminated in the milestones represented in the exhibition. Although many acknowledge West Building as the crown of his achievements, few are familiar with just how far he expanded the contemporary photography collection.

The tapestries, which Klein calls “Recent Activity,” consist of massive spreads of fabric that includes social media reactions. They all say something different but follow the same format of simple text: “I didn’t (do this thing), but I reacted to it on social media.”

“I was thinking about the concept of just ‘liking’ things on Facebook, and about how it’s this action, but it’s not really a real action,” Klein said. “There’s this, like, defining oneself online through the responses to other people’s stuff, rather than through one’s own ideas.”

Both parts of the installation have roots in her personal experiences.

Jeana Eve Klein created several #MeToo soft sculptures that are lying on the floor in a pile. During First Friday, visitors can help stuff the pieces with recycled fabric. At the end of the exhibition, Klein will give the sculptures away. Photo by Mike Williams

Mila Kunis, Kate McKinnon uncover lightweight fun in ‘Spy Who Dumped Me’ Colin Covert (Star Tribune, Minneapolis) for Triangle Today Are the best movies the ones you will remember decades after seeing them? Or the ones that cajole, entertain and provide immediate gratification? How you answer that will determine how much you like “The Spy Who Dumped Me.” Maybe you can already guess from the title.

stand why: He doesn’t want enemy agents to know they’re a pair. Or he’s busy. Or dead.

She gets sympathy from her best friend, Morgan (Kate McKinnon), a saucy feminist who knows how to karaoke a pity party into a funny night out. And when Audrey learns that Drew doesn’t have the job he claims – making exceptionally boring podcasts for NPR – Morgan joins her on a run to Vienna.

Not brilliant but rarely boring, this is the sort of midmarket comedy that takes you to lots of places you’ve been before but describes it all like a clever, amusing tour guide. It assumes the premise that being romantically abandoned by a secret agent with international killers on his trail can really mess up your life.

Well, duh.

That’s the predicament faced by Audrey (Mila Kunis), a nice, nondescript woman who works as a cashier in a health foods store. Her magnetic if secretive boyfriend Drew (Justin Theroux) hasn’t been returning her texts. After we see him running through a shoot-fightbomb battle in Lithuania, it’s easy to under-

is deliberately chuckle-worthy, if you don’t mind a bloody impaling now and then. At times this seems like inventive filmmaking, satirizing B-movie ultraviolence by shoving an extra large serving at us. But other times it feels as if the filmmakers didn’t know when to stop. Brutality can be transgressive

and can trigger shocked laughs in the proper doses, but it’s a poor running gag. There is a death-by-fondue moment here that could have come from a “Saw” movie.

Once there, with no-good villains at her heels, she must deliver a secret thingumajig to someone named Verne. This is a very big deal for a pair with a lack of lifetime accomplishments, zooming all across Europe for the first time, fleeing motorcyclists with machine guns.

But they’re good at learning from experience.

Plus, Audrey’s favorite arcade game involves shooting at the screen with a plastic pistol, so she’s got that going for her.
