The Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (MCASD), partnered with Arclight Cinemas, is screening Fold Crumple Crush; a 53-minute documentary filmed over three years in Venice, Nsukka, and the United States, that is a portrait of Africa's most widely acclaimed contemporary artist.
This film provides an insider's view of El Anatsui's practice, as he spends thousands of hours laboring to convert used bottle tops into huge, opulent wall hangings. El Anatsui explains how his artworks have become a marriage of painting and sculpture--objects that speak of African history but also reach for the ethereal.
The Museum's Chief Curator, Kathryn Kanjo, will begin the evening at 7:00 PM with a brief talk about the film and exhibition before the film begins at 7:45 PM. MCASD members will recieve a $6.50 discount to this event when they present their MCASD membership card. Also, as part of MCASD's partnership with Arclight Cinemas, attendees of this event will be granted free admission to the Museum when presenting their movie ticket or receipt.
Admission/Cost:
Wednesday, Apr 29 - 7:00 PM
