Eva Hesse
November 9, 2016, 8:00 PM
Free
Reception at 7:00; Film at 8:00; Q & A to follow screening.
Eva Hesse is one of America’s foremost postwar artists. Her pioneering sculptures, using latex, fiberglass, and plastics, helped establish the post-minimalist movement. Dying of a brain tumor at age 34, she had a mere decade-long career that, despite its brevity, is dense with complex, intriguing works that defy easy categorization. Eva Hesse is the first feature-length appreciation of her life and work. (Unrated, 108 min.)
“One of the 20th Century’s more compelling life stories.” — J. Hoberman, Tablet.
Screening made possible with support from the Colby College Museum of Art, Colby College Cinema Studies Program, Colby College Art Department, Colby Center for Arts and Humanities, Colby College History Department, Colby College Jewish Department, Hillel, and the Maine Film Center.
