Along with partner Aubrey “Po” Powell, with whom he founded the London-based design firm Hipgnosis, Storm Thorgerson created some of the most iconic (and surreal) album covers in music history, including Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side of the Moon and Led Zeppelin’s Houses of the Holy. Taken by Storm follows Thorgerson’s 40-year career, featuring interviews with such clients and collaborators as David Gilmour, Robert Plant, and Peter Gabriel. Bogawa’s diverse filmography includes Some Divine Wind (1991), Junk (1999), and I Was Born, But... (2004). (95 mins., DCP)
One of the most engrossing personal documentaries in recent years, Little White Lie tells director Lacey Schwartz’s story of growing up in a white Jewish household with loving parents—but with questions about her dark skin. At the age of 18, after her parents’ abrupt divorce, she finally learns the truth: her biological father was not the man who raised her, but a black man with whom her mother had an affair. Following the latter’s funeral, she begins a quest to reconcile her relationship with the only father she ever knew. (65 mins., DCP)
THU, NOV 5 | 7 pm
TUE, NOV 17 | 7 pm Take a one-of-a-kind trip with The Strange Eyes of Dr. Myes, the first feature from acclaimed animator Nancy Andrews. The campy, neo-underground cult movie combines live action and animation, as well as tropes from sci-fi, horror films, and Hollywood musicals, to tell the story of a rogue researcher attempting to graft animal senses onto her own. Andrews’s eclectic techniques add up to a wildly inventive and entertaining feat of imagination. Made with extensive postproduction support from the center’s Film/Video Studio Program. (76 mins., DCP)

FRI, NOV 13 | 7 pm

Dreamcatcher is a revealing and inspirational portrait of Brenda Myers-Powell, a woman who, after 25 years as a drug-addicted prostitute, decided to change her life following a violent encounter with a john. Myers-Powell founded The Dreamcatcher Foundation, an organization dedicated to helping at-risk women and girls who are desperate to escape their personal cycles of violence and prostitution. We follow Myers-Powell as she not only lends an understanding ear to their stories but shows them a way out of the same dire circumstances. (97 mins., DCP) Dreamcatcher is on tour this fall with generous support from The Fledgling Fund in collaboration with Women Make Movies and the British Council.

FRI, NOV 20 | 7 pm $7 members, students, seniors $9 general public The prolific Michael Almereyda has produced a body of work as diverse and uncompromising as any filmmaker working today. His latest, Experimenter, is a formally daring biopic of Yale professor Stanley Milgram (played by Peter Sarsgaard), known for his controversial 1961 experiments that tested the limits of obedience and empathy by instructing fellow subjects to electrically shock each other. Almereyda constructs a compelling portrait of a man whose work still resonates today. With Winona Ryder, John Leguizamo, and Taryn Manning. (90 mins., DCP)

Telephones (1995)
Before his 24-hour video installation (and 2013 Wexner Center exhibition) The Clock, there was Telephones, multimedia artist Christian Marclay’s earliest foray into filmic slicing and dicing. Weaving together various clips of phone calls throughout movie history, Marclay creates his own conversation, one that’s slightly absurd but ever-aware of the telephone’s presence as a cinematic device.

FRI, NOV 6 | 7 pm
“An update of Madame Bovary in the age of Roland Barthes.”—JAMES QUANDT Subtitled Fragments of a Film Shot in 1964, Jean-Luc Godard’s profoundly modernist film-essay A Married Woman dissects the aimless existence of Charlotte (Macha Méril) as she drifts between bland domesticity with husband Pierre (Philippe Leroy), the arms of her lover Robert (Bernard Noël), and the allure of 60s consumerism. (95 mins., DCP) Preceded by Red Luck, Columbus filmmaker Mike Olenick’s surreal psychosexual thriller that was recently awarded Best Experimental Short at the Slamdance Film Festival. (26 mins., DCP)
DECEMBER Joe Sola and Will Eno
Watercolor (2006)
Closing out our yearlong celebration of the Film/Video Studio Program is this collaboration between LA-based artist Joe Sola and New York playwright Will Eno. A darkly comedic take on PBS-style instructional art programs (think Bob “Happy Little Clouds” Ross), Watercolor is also a meditation on life, death, and the creative process. It was shot and edited entirely in Columbus. (4:13 mins., video)

THU–SAT, DEC 10–12 | 7 pm
“A work of strange and subtle power ... and an extraordinary comeback from a necessary filmmaker.” —TELEGRAPH (UK)
One of the most celebrated filmmakers of the 1990s, Taiwanese director Hou Hsiao-hsien breaks an extended quiet spell with The Assassin. It’s one of the year’s most notable films: not only for garnering Hou the Best Director prize at the Cannes Film Festival, but also for marking his unexpected entry into the Chinese martial arts wuxia genre. Featuring a stunningly meticulous recreation of the late Tang Dynasty, The Assassin reestablishes Hou as one of the most brilliant directors working today. (105 mins., DCP)

introduced on friday night by
THU, NOV 12 | 7 pm
director Kent Jones
“A remarkable portrait not only of this particular man, but of a culture in a transitioning moment.”—INDIEWIRE
THU–FRI, DEC 17–18 | 7 pm
Stray Dog is Oscar-nominee Debra Granik’s (Winter’s Bone) portrait of Ron “Stray Dog” Hall, a Vietnam vet living in the RV park he owns in Southern Missouri. When his new wife arrives from Mexico, we follow Ron as he tries to balance family, neighbors, fellow vets, and his beloved biker culture. The film offers an all-too-rare, sensitively told portrait of Middle America, the region’s poverty, and the issues faced by the country’s veterans, old and new. (100 mins., DCP)
In 1962, Alfred Hitchcock and a 30-year-old François Truffaut (400 Blows, Jules and Jim) locked themselves away for a weeklong conversation about filmmaking and cinema. The transcription was printed as a landmark book that has inspired film lovers for decades. Based on the original recordings, Hitchcock/Truffaut illustrates the greatest cinema lesson of all time and its impact on today’s leading filmmakers, featuring interviews with Wes Anderson, Olivier Assayas, Peter Bogdanovich, Arnaud Desplechin, David Fincher, Richard Linklater, and Martin Scorsese. The film’s director, Kent Jones (also the director of the New York Film Festival and deputy editor of Film Comment) joins us to introduce the Friday screening. (80 mins., DCP)
Calling Ohio Filmmakers It’s never too soon to start working on your cinematic masterpiece for our annual showcase of videos from across Ohio. We’ll begin taking entries in early January 2016. Check wexarts.org for entry forms and screening details.

Kneedelus:
A Live Collaboration between Kneebody + Daedelus Adventuresome jazz quintet Kneebody is indicative of the next generation of talent emerging from the LA scene: absolutely fearless in embracing diverse musical trends and able to shape them into a seamless and satisfying cohesion. For this special collaboration, LA-based artist Daedelus (Alfred Darlington) adds his driving electronica to the fierce instrumental chops of Kneebody’s Adam Benjamin (keyboards), Shane Endsley (trumpet), Kaveh Rastegar (electric bass), Nate Wood (drums), and Ben Wendel (saxophone) onstage. If you were among those who loved Mehliana—the electrifying duo of Brad Mehldau and Mark Guiliana—then Kneedelus will be right up your alley. Discover the shape of things to come when these musicians mix it up in our intimate Performance Space.

WED, NOV 18 | 8 pm PERFORMANCE SPACE $19 members $22 general public $13 students Young jazz guitar virtuoso Julian Lage draws on the classic jazz guitar trio tradition of Jim Hall with this outstanding lineup featuring Orlando le Fleming on bass and Kenny Wollesen (who plays with Bill Frisell) on drums. Employing deft, nuanced touch and tone, Lage delights audiences with his improvisational verve and fluid melodic lines. His years of collaboration with artists ranging from jazz vibes master Gary Burton and fiddler Mark O’Connor to Chris Eldridge of Punch Brothers and Nels Cline of Wilco have also informed his vast musical vocabulary—a rich command of technique and a wide spectrum of ideas that he expresses with each sparkling, cleanly articulated run down the fretboard.

Don’t miss your chance to experience this vibrant exhibition that explores Pablo Picasso’s seismic impact on several generations of modern and contemporary artists. You’ll see nearly 150 works in a variety of mediums by such Picasso peers as Brassaï, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Henri-Cartier Bresson, and Dora Maar, and by contemporary masters like Jasper Johns, Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Cindy Sherman, William Wegman, Louise Lawler, Sigmar Polke, Amy Sillman, and Fred Wilson. The exhibition also features specially commissioned works, including a site-specific installation by Berlin-based artist Alexander Wolff. After Picasso offers the perfect bookend to Transfigurations: Modern Masters from the Wexner Family Collection, which featured 19 works by Picasso and inaugurated our 25th Anniversary Season last September. Originally titled Picasso in Contemporary Art, the exhibition was first presented at the Deichtorhallen Hamburg on the occasion of its own 25th anniversary and curated by the institution’s general director, Dirk Luckow. After Picasso: 80 Contemporary Artists has been organized in cooperation with Deichtorhallen Hamburg.

COSPONSORED EVENT
Symposium: Responsibility, Morality, and the Costs of War
FRI, NOV 13 | 5:30 pm MERSHON AUDITORIUM FREE for all audiences
THU, NOV 12 | 2:30 pm
As the nearly 150 works in After Picasso: 80 Contemporary Artists demonstrate, artists from around the world continue to wrestle with and take inspiration from Picasso’s legacy. Few artists have engaged with Picasso quite so intensely as Roy Lichtenstein, the iconic pop artist and Ohio State alum, who made works revealing close study and analysis of Picasso’s oeuvre for almost five decades. For this year’s Lambert Lecture, Diana Widmaier Picasso, the artist’s granddaughter and cocurator of the major exhibition Picasso.mania now on view at Paris’s Grand Palais, joins Dr. Jack Cowart, executive director of the Roy Lichtenstein Foundation, for a very special conversation exploring the interconnections between two titans of 20th-century art. See the onView pages for more about After Picasso: 80 Contemporary Artists. The annual Lambert Family Lecture is made possible by generous support from the Lambert Family Lecture Series Endowment Fund, which promotes dialogue about global issues in art and contemporary culture.
FILM/VIDEO THEATER FREE Blending the arts with leading academic research, this campus-wide symposium assesses the myriad costs of war as the United States emerges from nearly 14 years of sustained military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. At 3 pm, award-winning filmmaker Heather Courtney screens her documentary Where Soldiers Come From (see the onScreen pages for details), which is followed by a panel discussion. The symposium continues through Saturday, November 14, at the Drake Performance and Event Center. Visit theatre.osu.edu for details. Cosponsored by Ohio State’s Department of Theatre, Mershon Center for International Security Studies, Department of Political Science, Committee on Medicine and the Arts, and Wexner Center for the Arts. Organized by Kevin McClatchy and Janet Parrott.

Sue Cavanaugh
p r o f e s s i o n a l a r t i s t, wexner center member
Local artist Sue Cavanaugh became a Wexner Center member for a simple reason: “Great contemporary art. Exhibitions at the Wex make me want to be a better artist!” She was particularly inspired by William Kentridge: 7 Fragments for Georges Méliès, on view here in 2006. “Kentridge’s films transferred me to a magical world where time goes backward as well as forward—pure genius.” Sue considers the Wex a significant resource for artists in Columbus. “It’s important to know what is happening now in the arts,” she says, and “the Wex brings world-class contemporary art to us. How cool is that!”
Valued Wexner Center members! Please join us for a weekend of tantalizing offers and holiday fun. It’s just one small way of showing our gratitude for your support year-round! Jump-start your holiday shopping with 25% off your purchases in the Wexner Center Store, plus complimentary gift-wrapping. Take an exclusive members-only tour of After Picasso: 80 Contemporary Artists (RSVP at the membership table). And stop by Heirloom Café for a complimentary coffee drink or sweet treat (just show your member card at the register. No one but us has to know!). There are other sweet perks to savor Thursday–Saturday. Members receive a free handmade pastry with the purchase of any entrée in the café. Refer a friend, and when they join the Wex, we’ll give you a complimentary membership upgrade. And enjoy free admission to the poignant Ballet Boys, part of the Zoom: Family Film Festival, on Saturday at 4 pm. Remember—members enjoy the first opportunity to purchase tickets for our exciting lineup of Winter/Spring events during the December 3–14 presale. Turn the page to see what’s up next at the Wex!
Sue also credits the Ohio Arts Council and the Greater Columbus Arts Council for being steadfast supporters of local artists. In 2012 she was awarded a prestigious GCAC Artist Exchange Program residency in Dresden, Germany, which culminated in a joint exhibition with Rotterdam-based painter Mariëlle Buitendijk. Currently her studio is housed in the 400 W. Rich Street complex. “I love the interaction with other artists, and the space itself inspired my latest exhibition, Gathering III.” This installation (pictured above) was made from three 35-foot parachutes that were reconfigured, gathered, hand stitched, and then painted. The compositions flow off the walls and work with the contours of the 105-year-old building—not unlike Sheila Pepe’s site-specific work Put Me Down Gently (hover & slope), featured in Fiber: Sculpture 1960–present at the Wex last spring. Represented by Muse Gallery, Sue’s work has been exhibited at the Columbus Museum of Art, the Cultural Arts Center, and Ohio Craft Museum, among other venues throughout Ohio. Her work is in the collections of the Hilton Columbus Downtown and the Ohio Arts Council, as well as in private collections throughout the country.

onView Noah Purifoy: Junk Dada J A N U A R Y 30–APRIL 10 Don’t miss this major retrospective of an artist (and arts educator) deeply committed to using the power of imagination to advance social progress. A legend within California’s post-WWII art scene, Alabama native Noah Purifoy (1917–2004) is now widely regarded as a crucial presence in the development of contemporary American art. Working originally in Los Angeles, where he was founding director of the Watts Towers Art Center, and later in the desert of Joshua Tree, Purifoy fabricated astonishing sculptures using the materials of everyday life, commerce, and for a powerful group of early works, debris from the 1965 Watts rebellion. Noah Purifoy: Junk Dada was curated by LACMA’s former Department Head and Curator of Contemporary Art Franklin Sirmans with independent curator Yael Lipschutz. This exhibition was organized by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
onScreen Jacques Rivette Out 1 (1971) F E B R U A R Y 13 & 20 French New Wave icon Jacques Rivette’s monumental 13-hour masterpiece Out 1 has been nearly impossible to see, which makes its restoration and reappearance one of the most extraordinary cinema events of the year. The film makes for ideal winter binge viewing as we show its eight episodes over two days. Get ready for French New Wave movie stars, secret societies, puzzle-box story structures, and an unforgettable portrait of post-May 1968 Paris where, as Rivette described it, “the fiction swallows up everything and then self-destructs.”
Cinema Revival: A Festival of Film Restoration F E B R U A R Y 24–28 Following the success of last year’s inaugural edition, we’re delighted to announce our second festival celebrating the art and practice of film restoration. Look forward to engaging talks by the Academy Film Archive’s Mark Toscano and 20th Century Fox’s Schawn Belston and screenings of such recently restored gems as Orson Welles’s Chimes at Midnight (1965), Lucio Visconti’s Rocco and His Brothers (1960), and Charles Vidor’s Cover Girl (1944), a Technicolor musical starring Gene Kelly and Rita Hayworth.
