How much do you love Carl von Marr?
Saturday, February 13 | 2:00–4:00 Two of Wisconsin’s most respected and lively artists—Tom Bamberger and Tom Uttech—will go head-to-head in a discussion over Carl von Marr’s masterpiece, The Flagellants. This pair of luminaries will air out their opposing opinions about this historical painting. Join us in the galleries to discover who finds it to be a masterfully-executed and meaningful allegory and who finds it to be an over-told, academic epic. Or perhaps something in between. In celebration of Carl von Marr’s February 14 birthday and in recognition of the museum’s founding legacy, this Carl von Marr-inspired afternoon is a great outing for Valentine’s Day weekend. Join us for what is sure to be a rapturous debate followed by birthday cake! Special thanks to the Melitta S. and Joan M. Pick Charitable Trust for the ongoing support of MOWA.
19th Annual Festival of Films in French
Un jour Pina m’a demandé (One Day Pina Asked) Saturday February 13 • 7pm Sunday February 14 • 9pm Chantal Akerman, DVD, 57 min, Belgium, 1983 (French) In homage to Pina Bausch (2009) and Chantal Akerman (2015) Bringing two remarkable women artists of the 20th century together, One Day Pina Asked is a journey through choreographer Pina Bausch’s world and her quest for love. “With her audacious compositions, decisive cuts, and tightrope-tremulous sense of time,” Akerman’s film “is of a piece with Bausch’s dances. It is a work of modestly daring wonder, of exploration and inspiration” (The New Yorker). Co-sponsored by the Department of Dance, the Milwaukee LGBT Film/Video Festival and the Sam & Helen Stahl Center for Jewish Studies. Presented as part of the Tournées Film Festival
