This screening is held in conjunction with the exhibition Gravity and Grace: Monumental Works by El Anatsui at The Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego Downtown.
The museum's Chief Curator, Kathryn Kanjo, begins the evening at 7pm with a brief talk about the film and exhibition.
Fold Crumple Crush, a 53-minute documentary filmed over three years in Venice, Nsukka, and the United States, is a portrait of Africa's most widely acclaimed contemporary artist. This film provides an insider's view of El Anatsui's practice, as he spends thousands of hours laboring to convert used bottle tops into huge, opulent wall hangings.
