Set in the mid-19th century, The Piano begins with the journey of Ada McGrath, a mute woman, and her daughter Flora as they travel to the wild, untamed landscapes of New Zealand. Forced to leave her home in Scotland for an arranged marriage imposed by her family, Ada finds herself bound to her new husband, Alistair Stewart, a cold and authoritarian man.
However, Ada's most profound form of expression comes not through words but music—her piano is her voice. Yet, Alistair abandoned this precious instrument on the beach and eventually took possession of their neighbour, George Baines. Sensing Ada's profound connection to the piano, Baines proposes a deal: each note, each keystroke becomes a negotiation, an intimacy, a search for freedom.
With its evocative atmosphere, breathtaking landscapes, and haunting score, Jane Campion crafts a poignant story of awakening in this epic film. The Piano made history at the Cannes Film Festival, where Campion became the first female director to win the Palme d'Or. Nominated for five Academy Awards, the film earned Holly Hunter the Best Actress Oscar. At the same time, at just 11 years old, Anna Paquin won Best Supporting Actress, making her one of the youngest Oscar winners ever.
Inspired by the exhibition And Now the Good News, which focusing on the relationship between mass media and art, we prepared horoscope readings based on the chapters of the exhibition. Using the popular astrological language inspired by the effects of the movements of celestial bodies on people, these readings with references to the works in the exhibition make fictional future predictions inspired by the horoscope columns that we read in the newspapers with the desire to receive good news about our day.
In 1493, exactly 500 years ago, Leonardo da Vinci was finishing the preparations for casting the equestrian monument (4 times life size), which Ludovico il Moro, Duke of Milan commissioned in memory of his father some 12 years earlier.
Giorgio de Chirico was born on July 10, 1888, in Volos, Greece, to an Italian family. His mother, Gemma Cervetto, was from a family of Genoa origin, but most likely she was born in Izmir. His father, Evaristo, was born on June 21, 1841 in the Büyükdere district of Istanbul.
