This week, justArts&Culture spoke with Jessamyn Fiore, who was the co-director of the Matta Clark Estate. She co-hosted the “Anarchitect: A Conversation on Gordon Matta-Clark” on Saturday. Gordon Matta-Clark is a New York artist who famously produced a series of architecture projects that remove parts of the buildings and explore the idea of space in an urban context. The exhibition displays collections of prints, photos and films created by him at the Rose Art Museum.
MUSEUM NEXT DOOR: Gordon Matta-Clark believed in spaces’ ability to bring people together, just like what the Rose Art Museum did last weekend with the celebration of its fall exhibitions opening.
This fall, the Rose Art Museum has a new exhibit called Into Form. Bringing together a large variety of different pieces, including works done on paper, sculptures and videos, Into Form creates an interesting dynamic between geometric and abstract works which makes walking around the museum an interesting experience.
Have you ever walked through the Olin-Sang American Civilization Center and the Mandel Center for the Humanities and heard music carrying through the halls? It could be coming from your own AirPods, or it could be a concert in the “Music at Mandel” series — free concerts for the Brandeis community that occur seven times each school year.
When “Hustlers” premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on Sept. 7, it seemed to have one thing working in its favor: Jennifer Lopez. Otherwise, the film’s path to release was a murky one: it was dropped by original financer, Annapurna, right before production began; it had a packed, eight-week production schedule and there were rumors of a behind-the-scenes feud between stars Constance Wu and Lopez; all that added to the fact that a movie about strippers doesn’t exactly invite high expectations. And yet, against all odds, “Hustlers” has exceeded all expectations, currently sitting at a 79 on Metacritic and holding a score of 88 percent on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes. When the film opened last week, it shattered all early projections and raked in a whopping $33.2 million, becoming J-Lo’s highest live-action opening of her career, and the biggest opening for a female-directed film since “Wonder Woman.”

FOOD AFTER ART, OR THE OTHER WAY AROUND: Hungry after seeing all the exhibitions? Delicious cookies and fruit punches are waiting for you outside of the museum.
REBEL AGAINST TRADITION: When the mainstream art shows refused to show his photos of graffiti, Gordon Matta-Clark opened his own show. He was one of the first artists to recognize graffiti as a form of art.
SOMETHING DIFFERENT: Instead of taking on more comedic characters that audiences are familiar with from her, Constance Wu chose to pick up a challenging role.
PLEASANT SURPRISE: Even though she is a popular entertainment figure, few people expected a prize-worthy performance from Jennifer Lopez. They were proven wrong.
This week, justArts&Culture spoke with Rita Scheer ’20, who was one of the showcased artists at the “New Arts from Home & Abroad” Awarded Student Art Show.
