Why not a movie together on Friday August 6th at the Bytowne? Something about Italy! We will meet at the entrance of the Bytowne cinema (Rideau Street, Ottawa, Canada) at 6:45 p.m. for I am love (scheduled for 7:00 p.m.). According to Wendy Ide from The Times (London), “watching this lush, operatic Italian drama about a clannish family of wealthy Milanese industrialists is like suddenly being exposed to a full orchestra when you have become accustomed to listening to the plaintive sawing of a lone violinist. It’s an exquisite, all-enveloping feast of sensual pleasures”. After the movie, let’s go for a drink!
“On Painting” by Gilles Deleuze
A blank canvas is a space brimming with possibilities—“a painting to be made,” as Cézanne wrote. It is what Deleuze calls the “catastrophe”—nothing can be seen, yet everything is there as if one were trapped in the eye of a storm. And from this catastrophe, one must find a way out: the very first stroke, a scribble, clichés to be destroyed, “forms that fade away”; erasing, starting over; “the hand, freed from the eye, runs wild,” and then—there! “The color rises,” and so on until the final work emerges.
