Standing With Papa Legba: The Intersection of Contemporary Haitian Art

Phone: (504) 586-7432
Admission: $5.00 Adults; $3.00 Seniors and Students; $2.00 Children ages 6-12
Standing With Papa Legba: The Intersection of Contemporary Haitian Art represents a critical point in Haitian Art history during which artists explore realms grounded in Haiti’s rich African influence and deal with contemporary issues and Haiti’s socio-political history as well. In both Haitian Vodou and New Orleans Voodoo, Papa Legba is the deity that presides over the crossroads and intersections of life. It is here at the crossroads that we find contemporary Haitian artists confronted with the past and future of Haitian Art. Centered in four major themes – spirituality, history and politics, contemporary life, and “wonder-realism,” this exhibition is told from a first-person narrative. Standing With Papa Legba: The Intersection of Contemporary Haitian Art is a celebration of the visual arts traditions of Haiti and an attempt to de-mystify this culture and situate Haitian art in a contemporary context. Featuring the work of Ulrick Jean-Pierre, Vidho Lorville, Georges Valris, Eric P. Julien and the late Pierro Barra, the exhibition includes installation work, mixed media, paintings, photographs, traditional iron work and ornately decorated sequin Vodu flags.

The exhibition is organized and circulated by Art Services International, Alexandria, Virginia.

Running With Scissors return to Le Chat Noir with A Place in the Sun, an outrageous parody of the 1951 Oscar-winning film about teenage romance, class struggle, and water sports. This tale centers on George Eastman, who's weary of living with his pious parents and moves out West to work in his uncle's swimwear factory. Before his first day on the job, he falls for wealthy society gal Angela Vickers Brian Peterson, but, fearing she's out of his league, he settles for gawky girl-next-door Alice Tripp Dorian Rush. Complications ensue-including a careless roll in the hay with Alice and subsequent 1950s-style "trouble". Will George honor his obligation to Alice? Or will he follow his lust all the way to Angela's doorstep? And what on earth is all that waterskiing about? Tune in this summer and find out!
