The Magic of Klein BlueTraces how French artist Yves Klein transformed the rarest color in nature into a symbol of the infinite. In the 1950s, he created International Klein Blue—a pigment so vivid it seemed to swallow light. His monochrome works and performances turned color into experience, making blue not just a hue, but a portal to the unknown.
Why Does Brutalism Matter?Unpacks the meaning behind the architectural movement behind the 2024 film. Emerging after World War II, Brutalism rejected ornament and luxury in favor of raw concrete and honesty; a response to the devastation and disillusionment of the era. It symbolized both grief and hope: the will to rebuild with strength, equality, and truth. Once seen as cold or austere, Brutalism remains a reminder that beauty can exist in honesty, and that rebuilding is itself an act of faith.
Friday and Diego in AmericaRecounts the artists’ disillusionment during their 1930s stay in New York. Confronted by poverty amid excess, Diego Rivera captured the city’s inequality in Frozen Assets, while Frida Kahlo’s Self-Portrait on the Borderline contrasted Mexico’s vitality with America’s industrial coldness. Together, their works serve as a timeless warning against greed and a call to reconnect with humanity and the earth.
