MARCH ■ART CALENDAR NOGUCHI MUSEUM MUSEUM OF THE MOVING IMAGE 35-01 35th Avenue 718-777-6888 “To the Moon and Beyond: Graphic Films and the Inception of 2001: A Space Odyssey” On view through Aug. 14 This exhibition features rarely seen artwork created by Graphic Films for 2001: A Space Odyssey, and correspondence between the company and Stanley Kubrick. It includes more than twenty detailed sketches for a lunar base and space vehicles; correspondence with script and design suggestions and technical advice; as well as an early draft of the script for the film. MoMA PS1 22-25 Jackson Avenue (718) 784-2084 "Projects 103" Projects 103, the first exhibition in the forty-five year history of the Elaine Dannheisser Projects Series to take place a MoMA PS1, presents a site-specific sculpture by the Berlin-based, Georgian artist Thea Djordjadze. Drawing on the visual language of architecture and functional design, Djordjadze creates sculptural environments that foreground the lasting legacy of Modernism while evoking the vernacular and folk traditions native to the Caucasus region in the Republic of Georgia. MUSEUM OF THE MOVING IMAGE 35-01 35th Avenue 718-777-6888 “Tut’s Fever Movie Palace” Ongoing Tut’s Fever is a working movie theater and art installation created by Red Grooms and Lysiane Luong, an homage to the ornate, exotic picture palaces of the 1920s. Inspired by the tomb paintings they saw during a trip to Egypt, Grooms and Luong covered the walls, floor and seats of the theater with hand-painted, Egyptianstyle depictions of Hollywood royalty. Silent screen star Theda Bara works the box office, Mae West stands behind the concessions stand, and Mickey Rooney is the usher. 9-01 33rd Road 718-204-7088 “Tom Sachs: Tea Ceremony” On view through July 24 The Museum’s 30th-anniversary programming culminates with an installation by celebrated artist Tom Sachs. This major exhibition is the first at the Museum to present work by a single artist other than Noguchi. The exhibition centers on an immersive environment representing Sachs’ distinctive reworking of the rituals and accoutrements of chanoyu, or traditional Japanese tea ceremony—including the myriad elements essential to that intensely ritualistic universe.
