“The Rehearsal” Exhibition
The Kitchen
This event has ended.
Forty years ago, director Jules Dassin made a film about the escalating popular uprisings against the military junta that had ruled Greece since 1967. Then in exile with his wife, Greek actress Melina Mercouri, Dassin shot this film in the building that is now The Kitchen. Just as the film was completed, the junta was overthrown and the film, tilted The Rehearsal, was never commercially released. For this exhibition, artists Courtesy the Artists, Discoteca Flaming Star, and Georgia Sagri engage the themes, resonances, and Brechtian structures of Dassin’s work against the recent narratives of collective action for autonomy on the global stage.
Curated by Matthew Lyons.
During gallery hours on July 7-11, Courtesy the Artists will be in residence rehearsing scenes and filming video for their contribution to the exhibition entitled The Shoot.
