In Search of an Organ: An Evening with Chris Retsina
Thirty years ago, a Japanese mathematician set forth on an epic quest to meet a famed German physicist, widely considered the greatest scientist of the 20th century. Unfortunately, the father of modern physics was long dead. Not to be discouraged, the zealous academic set out from the Land of the Rising Sun to find his idol’s brain, rumored to be hidden in a vat of formaldehyde somewhere in the United States. A curious British documentary crew followed the scholar, with truly mind-bending results.
The screening will be introduced by Chris Retsina, an NYC-based painter whose work explores fractured narratives through shifting perspectives and humor, examining violence, isolation, and American myth.
