by Roy Berko - May 09, 2017

Chile's Military Dictatorship Inspires New Art Show at BRIC
by BWW News Desk - May 03, 2017
BRIC, the leading presenter of free cultural programming in Brooklyn, is pleased to present Memory in Multiples, an exhibition of artist books, matrices, and memorial sculptures by Chilean printmaker Maria Veronica San Martin. San Martin's research-based practice centers around documenting the violence of the military dictatorship in Chile, in which the United States was directly involved. Through archival research-searching for those who were disappeared by the dictatorship between 1973 and 1990-she makes public the stories hidden deep within declassified documents. San Martin approaches printmaking itself as a process of removal, negation, and reappearance in multiples, and simultaneously signals the quiet erosion of memory and the literal disappearance of bodies from collective memories of violence in Chile. Her installed books take the form of sculptural memorials, creating spaces of absence, reflection, and resistance.
MASSACRE Opens 5/19 at Convergence-Continuum
by BWW News Desk - May 03, 2017
Convergence-continuum presents the Ohio premiere of Massacre (Sing to Your Children) by Jose Rivera, directed by Clyde Simon.  After enduring six years of psychological and physical terror, seven citizens of a small New Hampshire town stage a revolt and murder the man who has destroyed them--or do they? Magic realism and pulpy horror-movie conventions collide when the seven friends conspire to brutally rid their small town of its viciously oppressive mayor.   Massacre is a powerful depiction of the use of violence as a response to living under a repressive plutocratic regime, and of our own role in perpetuating the tyranny.
