The intricate, yet monumental, blown glass and mixed media works of Einar and Jamex de la Torre mirror and address the complex experiences of living in a global society. Visually and socially timely, their work excels in peeling off the layers to get to the real issues of the twenty-first century. On view through August 16, 2009.

Film Series: Cine en construcción (Cinema in Progress)

Bank of America Theatre
Free Admission
Film: Pueblo chico
(Fernán Rudnik,
Argentina.) In a
lonely seaside town, nothing ever seems to change, including the incumbent mayor
of 30 years. One day, foreign investors appear touting changes in the name of
progress. The mayor vehemently opposes the initiative. The capital cuts off
their supplies and communications with the outside, leaving them hungry and
alone. They resist. This is the tale of a village that refuses to disappear.
Cine en construcción was formed to promote and distribute new, independent films
from Latin America. The Instituto Cervantes
has joined this collaboration in order to make these films available to a wider
audience. Presented in Spanish with English
subtitles.
