Julie Tersigni: Paintings and Drawings Lolita Bar, 266 Broome Street, NYC May 1 through July 7, 2012
Bradley Rubenstein: You are showing paintings and drawings in your exhibit. Can you give us a little backstory -- where you are from, things like that?
Julie Tersigni: I was born in Akron, Ohio. But I’ve been in N.Y.C. since 1982. It was possible to survive in Manhattan on very little money then! I worked as a model for many artists: Eric Fischl, Audrey Flack, Alex Katz, Robert Kushner, David Salle, Raphael Soyer, to name a few. I was able to see how professional artists work. It made me want to use my own figure as the "ground" of the large collages I was making at the time. My photographer boyfriend took photos of me in poses I thought I could work with. Then I would adhere photocopies of them to the canvas, and paint and draw over them.

As fascinating a subject for a documentary as one is likely to find at Tff 2010, The Woodmans is a kaleidoscopic look inside the world of a fractured, artistic family. A Festival World Premiere, The Woodmans focuses on the lives of artists George and Betty Woodman, married for 54 years; their video artist son, Charlie; and their late daughter Francesca, who has ironically risen to the most recognizable artistic stature of any family member, albeit posthumously. Combining talking-head interview segments with not only key family members but also important members in the world of arts and letters (family friends Robert Kushner, New York Review of Books editor Edwin Frank) as well as some beautiful dolly-centric formalist camerawork, The Woodmans is a documentary that engages on a stylistic as well as psychological level. Seamlessly interweaving the art objects of its subjects with documentary footage/interviews of the subjects themselves, the film manages to...
