Relatives of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, mother and daughter “Big Edie” and “Little Edie” Bouvier-Beale were once glamorous socialites, but now they live in gothic seclusion on a dilapidated East Hampton estate with no running water. Surrounded by raccoons, cats, fleas, and distant memories, the mother-daughter pair bicker, reminisce, and dream of returning to their lives of luxury and privilege. Both grotesque and poignant, Grey Gardens presents an intimate por…

Monuments Askew: A Book Discussion with Dr. Maria Corrigan
Monuments Askew: A Book Discussion with Dr. Maria Corrigan
September 26 at 12:00 PM in Rich Memorial 104
Free event, open to the public
The Departments of Film and Media and Russian and East Asian Languages and Cultures invite you to a book discussion with Dr. Maria Corrigan (Emerson University). On Friday, September 26 at 12 PM in Rich Memorial 104, the author will discuss her new book, Monuments Askew: An Elliptical History of the Factory of the Eccentric Actor. The book presents a cultural history of the Factory of the Eccentric Actor (FEKS), an avant-garde collective of Ukrainian artists whose unique approach to monumental history generated a new kind of cinema for a modernizing Soviet era. Often lost in the shuffle of this period, FEKS’s vibrant and experimental cinematic output initiated a youthful and cheeky overhaul of Soviet revolutionary culture. Monuments Askew reveals the foundational role of this understudied group of artists—including Grigori Kozintsev and Leonid Trauberg—and uses their own th…

Emory Visual Arts Gallery presents: Lindsay Burke - Quick Split
The Emory Visual Arts Gallery is pleased to present Quick Split, an exhibition of paintings by Brooklyn-based artist Lindsay Burke.
Free exhibit, open to public
Burke’s paintings approach the human body as both image and structure, a ground where personal, cultural, and formal questions converge. Her work moves between the poetic and the schematic, presenting the figure as something at once familiar and estranged.
Referencing art history, industrial design, and architectural drawing, Burke places the body in a constant state of negotiation. Forms slip between abstraction and representation, echoing the ways identity is assembled, performed, and dissolved. Figures often appear on the edge of transformation—mechanical and organic, vulnerable and resilient—framing the body as a site of emotional intensity, political tension, and imaginative possibility.
Surface and structure hold equal weight in her practice. Expansive painterly passages give way to exacting line, underscoring the instability of perception. Fe…

In a dystopian future, America has succumbed to a totalitarian military regime that pacifies the population by sponsoring a deadly transcontinental car race. Racers compete in ridiculously tricked-out buggies and score points by killing pedestrians.

In Michelangelo Antonioni’s 1966 thriller, Blow Up, David Hemmings played an effete fashion photographer who accidentally captures a murder on film. Nearly a decade later, Hemmings plays another unwitting witness for another Italian director-- but in an altogether different kind of film. Dario Argento’s absurdist giallo horror film, Deep Red dispenses with psychological realism, indulging in extravagant style. Hemmings stars as Marcus Daly, an English pianist in Rom…
