The race is on, and Fogg begins a journey that will include twists, turns and travel unlike you’ve ever seen — from train to boat, sled to elephant.

FROM THE VILLAGE TO VOGUE: THE MODERNIST JEWELRY OF ART SMITH
DATE: May 14, 2008–May 17, 2009
PRICE: $8 admission; Free for Brooklyn Museum members
MEMBERSHIP DISCOUNT: CAAL Members receive $10 off memberships by contacting the Membership Department at 718-501-6326, or membership@brooklynmuseum.org
This exhibition honors the gift of twenty-one pieces of silver and gold jewelry created by the Brooklyn-reared modernist jeweler Arthur Smith (1917–1982), primarily from Charles Russell, Smith’s companion and heir. Inspired by surrealism, biomorphicism, and primitivism, Art Smith’s jewelry is dynamic in its size and form. Although sometimes massive in scale, his jewelry remains lightweight and wearable. The jewelry dates from the late 1940s to the 1970s and includes his most famous pieces, such as a “Patina” necklace inspired by the mobiles of Alexander Calder; a “Lava” bracelet, or cuff, that extends over the entire lower arm in undulating and overlapping forms; and a massive ring with three semi-precious stones that stretches over three fingers.

Click! is a photography exhibition that invites Brooklyn Museum’s visitors, the online community, and the general public to participate in the exhibition process. Taking its inspiration from the critically acclaimed book The Wisdom of Crowds, in which New Yorker business and financial columnist James Surowiecki asserts that a diverse crowd is often wiser at making decisions than expert individuals, Click! explores whether Surowiecki’s premise can be applied to the visual arts—is a diverse crowd just as “wise” at evaluating art as the trained experts?

Casey Shea, Jeff Jacobson and Wes Verhoeve are the core of The Undisputed Heavyweights, a Lower East Side band described as "Frank Sinatra meets The Doors in a way only Stevie Wonder could dream of," by am New York. Such acclaim for undiscovered musicians might elicit incredulity among the un-indoctrinated until one's first Heavyweight experience. The virtue of a true live show is if, in the end, it is memorable. Behind the insults and the Amens is sophisticated songwriting and clever arrangements. And whether you remember Casey Shea's sunglasses, the Roll Your Windows Down sing-a-long or the pop sensibility of Lartigue, it doesn't really matter, as there's something for everyone.

The original plan for the Cute Lepers was to create music
“equally influenced by first wave punk, mod-revival, power pop … with
occasional hints of doo-wop, oldierock'n'roll and
a load of female back-up vocals.” Sound ambitious? See the end result at the
Knitting Factory this August. Also performing are the Power-Chords and Avenue
Rose.

Jana Hunter is one of those rare artists whose craft does its
work on listeners before they even notice. Deceptively simple, clear and
concise, her songs surround and envelop, seeping into the skin. “Hunter‘s
songs are so honest, yearning and intimate, you’d be forgiven in thinking
that you’re eavesdropping on someone’s private thoughts.” –Eric
Boucher,

Acclaimed filmmakers Joel and Ethan Coen deliver their most gripping and ambitious film yet in this supercharged action-thriller. When a man stumbles on a bloody crime scene, a pickup truck loaded with heroin, and two million dollars in cash, his decision to take the money sets off an unstoppable chain reaction of violence. No Country for Old Men is based on the novel by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Cormac McCarthy, features an acclaimed cast led by Tommy Lee Jones, and is the winner of four Academy Awards including Best Picture. This screening is part of MoMA’s Collaborations in the Collection, which showcases collaborative efforts in film where the reciprocity in the creative process produces singular works. This summer, Collaborations in the Collection spotlights Joel and Ethan Coen whose partnership is one of the most prominent filmmaking collaborations in contemporary cinema.
