Stanley kubrick: The exhibition

[Chris Knipp]

The TIFF film hyping the Kubrick exhibition and selling tickets for it never mentions that it originated in Germany ten years ago. American museums also I've noticed claim big exhibitions for their own when they originated in the UK or Europe. A mere oversight no doubt :) This one was "down" for two years, 2009 and 2010, between Rome and Paris. I wonder why. Big shows when remounted can be better or worse depending on the spaces and decisions of the locals setting them up. A bigger space can be better or a more intimate one. A major Giocometti show was spoiled in one venue where I saw it by being set up in over-large spaces that dwarfed the thin pared-down sculptures. When I saw it in another with smaller rooms and lower ceilings it was far more effective. The length of time this Kubrick show was up has varied, two, three, five months, the longest by far being at the Los Angeles County Museum, where it was on for an exceptional seven months. The details below are culled from the original Frankfort am Main exhibition website found here.
