One of the most talked-about films of 2020 and winner of the Silver Bear at the Berlinale, Never Rarely Sometimes Always deals with the very sensitive subject of abortions and follows a teenager from a small town in Pennsylvania who wants to abort an unwanted pregnancy, but it is illegal in her state. She takes her cousin with her to New York City to take care of the problem. Never Rarely Sometimes Always is a moving and unique work; Variety gave it five stars, praising the film's ability to combine a dreamy atmosphere with a cruel reality and calling it a "quietly devastating gem."
The crucial scene that gives Never Rarely Sometimes Always its title will surely become a staple of feminist cinema. Recognising your own alienation goes hand in hand with bursting through it. This is a process which, like a glass cage shattering into millions of tiny pieces, is both painful and spectacular to behold.
Pera Museum’s Cold Front from the Balkans exhibition curated by Ali Akay and Alenka Gregorič brings together contemporary artists from Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia and Slovenia.
In 1998 Ben Jakober and Yannick Vu collaborated on an obvious remake of Marcel Duchamp’s Roue de Bicyclette, his first “readymade” object. Duchamp combined a bicycle wheel, a fork and a stool to create a machine which served no purpose, subverting accepted norms of art.
