Magnetic Movie

This is a follow up to a previous post that I wrote about the Magnetic Movie in September on exhibits regarding the “faux” documentary about magnetic fields and how they relate to real scientists’ discoveries regarding the Semiconductor. It can be seen in the “Black Box” at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden through December 14th.

I’ll have to not only check out this movie before it leaves but also the After Hours at the Hirshhorn, which I had on my list but completely missed this year. The last one was November 7th.

I can’t mention this without adding that After Hours, the movie is hilarious and still ranks as one of my favorites. I first saw it in Paris, when I was studying at Parsons and my American friends and I got the jokes but for some reason the French did not — making it all the more funny at the time — even though it was a very “French-like” movie, kinda artsy and very quirky.

I'm an artist, wife and mother of two boys. I started my illustration business, The Occasional Palette over 35 years ago, when my oldest son was an infant. Once my children were in school, I began painting decorative, faux finishes and murals through my second business, Casart, now over 30 years old. My third business, Casart Coverings, is a springboard from my second.
