Film Showing this Weekend: Waste Land

This Sunday, January 23 at 3 p.m. I'm planning to head to the Norfolk premier of
Waste Land  in the Kaufmann Theatre.  Here's a description of the film:


"Vik Muniz’s "Orestes Pursued by the Furies (Pictures of
Junk)" is among the most popular works of art in our galleries.
Learn the inspirational story behind the photograph in this
award-winning documentary (Arthouse Films, 98 minutes,
http://www.wastelandmovie.com/). In his native Brazil and the world’s largest
garbage dump, Jardim Gramacho, Muniz proves that garbage can be art and that art can transform lives.
Stay after the screening for a discussion of the film in our Kaufman Theatre.
Cost: Free, with advance seating for Museum Members"

If you can't make it to the film, stop by the Library and take a look at Reflex: A Vik Muniz Primer  - it's on display in the reading room - to see more of Muniz's work.
