Eric Baudelaire has recently had exhibitions at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, Elizabeth Dee Gallery in New York, Juana de Aizpuru in Madrid, Greta Meert in Brussels, and is preparing an exhibition at Gasworks in London. His films have been shown at the International Film Festival Rotterdam, and his work is present in several public collections, including the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Centre Pompidou, the Fond National d’Art Contemporain, and the FRAC Auvergne.

Mimbres pottery is one of the great art traditions of ancient North America. Not only are these elegant bowls whimsical and sophisticated, most of them are extremely well executed. We now believe this was because their makers, most likely women, were part time specialists, and the Mimbres society was encouraging the best artists to be creative. Using a large corpus of bowl images, we believe we can recognize the work of the best of these artists. This finding has important implications for how specialization develops in traditional societies, and helps understand how this unique pottery came to exist.

Shooting Beauty covers fashion photographer Courtney Bent’s ten-year quest to invent cameras accessible to people with disabilities and the incredible photography project that emerged as a result. A meditation on friendship, beauty, love, and loss, this insightful documentary challenges preconceived notions about people living with disabilities. In association with Inglis Foundation, this event will also feature a screening of the inspiring short film, “Mental Shape: The Art of Robinson Fredenthal,” produced and filmed by residents of Inglis House (http://www.inglis.org/).
