  1. Bringing the Boys Back Home

    Connecticut artist Mark Williams takes toy soldiers, the kind you'd give to your kid, and poses them in playful ways, smothering some with Play-Doh and turning others into carrot-toting bunnies (as in "Untitled (Yellow Bunny)," pictured). It's all about how we peddle militarism to youngins, and how we probably shouldn't do that.

  5. Science Friction: Gattaca playing at Hartford's Real Art Ways on Jan. 10

    If you hadn't heard, Real Art Ways has been hosting a film series called Science on Screen, a gathering for all those interested in the far reaches of science and fiction. Each event begins with a talk led by a different scientist on theories presented in the featured movie and ends with a showing of the film. Tuesday's film is <em>Gattaca</em>, a 1997 movie starring Ethan Hawke as an ambitious regular Joe and Jude Law and Uma Thurman as genetically-enhanced, take-it-all-for-granted types. The talk for the evening will be led by Dr. Gualberto Rua&ntilde;o, who introduces the science behind DNA-guided medicine.

  6. The Life of a City: A new documentary looks to urban planning to solve tomorrow's problems

    If you're optimistic about our chances of tackling the big challenges facing humanity in the 21st century &mdash; poverty, overpopulation, the environment, the fair allocation of political power &mdash; then you're likely to feel good about the state of cities. After all, over 50 percent of the world's population now lives in cities, and experts expect that number to soar to something like 70 percent by the middle of this century. If the aforementioned problems are to be solved, their solutions will probably be found in an urban context. Cities consume 75 percent of world energy, so a small improvement in urban power usage can have a huge effect. <em>Urbanized</em>, a new feature-length documentary by filmmaker Gary Hustwit (<em>Helvetica</em>, <em>Objectified</em>), explores the world of contemporary urban design, showcasing how city planning is likely to shape the ways we live and think about shared communal space well into the future. (The film premieres in Hartford this week.) Whether we have good reason to be optimistic is a question left unanswered by the documentary.

  7. Overstimulation: The artwork of Blake Shirley at Real Art Ways

    Blake Shirley's oversized paintings, including "Skull Couch" (pictured), depict spare, geometric skulls with objects (like couches) floating into mouthholes, ears, noses, and so on. Isn't that just like the bombardment of information we deal with every day? Shirley thinks so. Head to the reception at Real Art Ways on Dec. 15 and see for yourself.

  9. Insane Clown Posse: The Last Circus at Real Art Ways in Hartford

    Spanish filmmaker &Aacute;lex de la Iglesia' <em>The Last Circus</em> is a twisted little flick. Javier &mdash; the son of a former Happy Clown who was forced to become a brutal killer during the Spanish Civil War &mdash; isn't quite as funny as dear old dad, but that doesn't stop him from following in his footsteps. His lack of comedic talent, though, lands him a part as a Sad Clown, in a company where he's badly abused by Happy Clown Sergio. There's a girl involved, and lots of clown-on-clown violence.
