Jan Svankmajer, who have influenced artists such as Tim Burton and Terry Gilliam, is a Czech filmmaker. This surrealist artist’s exaggerated sounds and speed-up sequences make his work all the more fascinating, creating a disturbing nature.

LLIK YOUR IDOLS

Saturday, March 10, 2012

“Llik your Idols is an intimate survey of a VERY particular time in downtown NYC – the mid 1980s – when the fallout of a decrepit city manifested itself through the psyches of young and wild artists, musicians and filmmakers banging into each other in the scum drenched streets.

BLUES BEFORE SUNRISE

For two weeks (March 7 – 25) all 275 lamps in Amsterdam’s largest public park, Vondelpark will radiate blue light. Blues Before [...]
