SUMMARY:Susan Doe: Entwined
DESCRIPTION:The first Project Space exhibition of the new season features a series of paintings\, sculptures\, and installations through which Susan Doe explores ideas of intersectionality\, rooted in her own bicultural upbringing. Says the gallery: “Reflecting on her Chinese American background\, the artist blends together disparate elements to create something unexpected. Through this process\, she plays with illusions of materiality\, making metal threads appear soft and weaving paper to mimic large solid sculptures.” To 17 September.

SUMMARY:Summertime: dir David Lean (1955)
DESCRIPTION:David Lean’s lush love letter to Venice was his personal favourite among his own films. A sublimely bittersweet tale of romantic longing\, it also has Katharine Hepburn at her best\, portraying the conflicting emotions in a lonely\, middle-aged American tourist forced to confront her insecurities when she is drawn into a seemingly impossible affair with a charming Italian shopkeeper (Rossano Brazzi); the result isan exquisitely tender evocation of the magic and melancholy of a fleeting\, not-quite-fairytale romance. This is a classic Cinema Space pick\, and very highly recommended.
