More Ellen de Bruijne Projects opens 'Lucile Desamory: Still Film' AMSTERDAM.- In Lucile Desamorys practice as a filmmaker, visual artist, and performer, Still Film is conceived as a reflection on cinema through painting.

MacMurrays garment sculptures, like Medusa, Icarus, and Widow, explore facets of female identity and experience, but they can also be considered self-portraits. A defining characteristic of MacMurrays practice is her ability to work with materials that come to hand. Bride, she says is comprised of some leftover, dusty white domestic ...
