A John Waters Christmas, Dec 18, 2009 - Next Month
John Waters’ one-man show is a "vaudeville" act.
Category: New Brunswick Theater event in New Jersey
Description of this New Brunswick Event: Fri, December 18, 2009 at 8pm
John Waters’ one-man show is a "vaudeville" act that celebrates his incredible filmmaking career with a provocative and devious monologue that takes the audience on a wonderfully misbehaved trip to the extremes of the contemporary art world, where it can share in Waters’ fascination with true crime, trash, and exploitation films—a journey where absolutely nothing is sacred.
John Waters is the quintessence of cult films and the ‘midnight movies’ phenomenon, and his films—which range from Mondo Trasho, Pink Flamingos, and Female Trouble, via the original Hairspray that inspired the successful Broadway show of the same name, to A Dirty Shame and Cry Baby, the breakthrough-film of a tender-faced Johnny Depp, are eternal classics.
This performance includes Adult Content not suitable for children.
Tickets: $27-47

American Woodcuts from the 1890s to the present
Category: New Brunswick Art event in New Jersey
Description of this New Brunswick Event: This presentation of over 100 prints surveys the use of the woodcut medium in the United States. The exhibition begins with a remarkable moment in the late nineteenth century when American artists, inspired by the arts and crafts movement and Japanese color prints, began experimenting with new ways to print in color. Rarely seen color woodcuts by Arthur Wesley Dow, an influential educational leader who promoted the art of the color woodcut, depict alluring Massachusetts landscapes in Japanese-inspired styles. Later artists experimented with the technique to create modernist imagery. Blanche Lazzell adapted cubism to render still lifes and the hills of West Virginia in brilliant yellows, oranges, greens, and blues. By the middle of the twentieth century, artists were transforming the woodcut to display bold colors and abstract forms. Contemporary artists worked in the medium in unprecedented ways; they created large-scale color woodcuts featuring people, landscapes, geometric abstraction, or organic forms, in styles as varied as abstract expressionism and minimalism. Blocks of Color continues up to the present day with prints by 43 other artists, including Polly Apfelbaum, Richard Bosman, Francesco Clemente, Richard Diebenkorn, Jim Dine, Helen Frankenthaler, Donald Judd, Karen Kunc, Sherrie Levine, Michael Mazur, and others. Drawn primarily from the Zimmerli’s extensive print collection, this exhibition is also complemented by several key loans from regional collections. Christine Giviskos, Associate Curator of Nineteenth-Century European Art, curated the exhibition with Marilyn Symmes, Director of the Morse Research Center for Graphic Arts and Curator of Prints and Drawings.
