|
|
The Frankenstein-esque pastiche of body parts is at once viscerally grotesque and riveting, but the collages are made more subversive by the curatorial choice to install them opposite Baroque black mirrors by Fred Wilson, which are uncredited holdovers remaining from his recent exhibition, Afro Kismet, at Maccarone.
|
|
They even added 10 more rooms, excavating a subterranean space that now houses an art gallery, a library, a screening room and a pool that's a homage to the Barcelona Pavilion, a modernist underbelly designed by Mr. Smith (and completed just before his death) for a 250th century pastiche.

|
|

The song is both a pastiche of traditional Spring Festival stresses, and a rip-roaring anthem to individualism, ending with the defiant chorus: Encore The success of "Survival Guide" -- called "What I Do Is For Your Own Good" in English -- is even more surprising given its source, not some Chinese popstar or viral video factory, but a traditional chamber choir.

Last summer, Rogers's team produced a run of videos during the transfer window that went viral: a spoof of the ubiquitous, homemade highlight reels that litter YouTube; a film of midfielder Lorenzo Pellegrini playing as himself on the video game FIFA; a pastiche of a video made by Southampton to skewer Roma's own satirical announcements, featuring quite a lot of goats.

"The Ones Who Stay and Fight," which she describes as "pastiche of and reaction to [Ursula] Le Guin's 'The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas,'" takes an already preachy story as its springboard — let no one pretend that the genre isn't soapbox-prone — to argue with both the past master and the rabble of reactionaries who have harried efforts to diversify science fiction.

The telenovela plot is a pastiche of stereotypes and melodramatic tropes of the sort one might expect from an author who did not grow up within Mexican culture, from a massacre at a quinceañera to the inexplicable choice of a relatively wealthy woman to leap onto La Bestia, a gang-controlled train — rather than just take a plane to Canada.

The first episode is basically just the next day, with Sam raining righteous hellfire down on Pastiche, the Harvard Lampoon-esque satire magazine that threw the party; the Winchester administration that's taking its sweet time responding to the controversy; and her fellow students who would really rather not think about this kind of thing happening at their precious school in 2017.

Jon Benjamin) and his co-workers into hapless drug dealers in a Miami Vice pastiche; in season seven, he moved the (originally New York–based) show to Los Angeles so they could be private investigators a la Magnum P.I. Season eight, which premieres April 5, picks up right where season seven left off: with Archer's title character floating face down in a swimming pool after being shot.

Pastiche comprises the majority of the work, with tributes to well-known comics in Ah Huat's Giant Robot (a clear reference to Gigantor), Roachman (featuring a pin-up page highlighting the hero's arsenal that's right out of Jack Kirby's Marvel work), and Days of August (with its washed-out colors and full-page grids of TV screens reminiscent of Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns).

Premiering here at Sundance, it's a conspiracy thriller about the faking of the Apollo Moon landing that doesn't just have one special moment — it's got dozens of them, piling smart ideas and clever beats atop one another into a pastiche that should be a home run for anybody with a love of movies, space exploration, or just good old-fashioned X-Files government paranoia.

Some of that stems from performance (Hill is a fine dramatic actor but maybe not the guy you want sublimating all of his live-wire energy to play a depressive), and some of it stems from the storytelling, which is a wackadoodle pastiche of "mind-fuck cinema," in which the movies ask you to question reality and wonder what's going on and so on.

Postmodernists, Heer wrote, describe a world where Fragmented sound bites have replaced linear thinking, where nostalgia ("Make America Great Again") has replaced historical consciousness or felt experiences of the past, where simulacra is indistinguishable from reality, where an aesthetic of pastiche and kitsch (Trump Tower) replaces modernism's striving for purity and elitism, and where a shared plebeian culture of vulgarity papers over intensifying class disparities.

Many of the standard trimmings are in place, including a mental asylum, a forbidden basement, and a batch of shifty gentlemen in white tie and tails, but you can spend so long trying to gauge whether the movie counts as period drama, pornography, or pastiche that, as with a Nabokov novel like "Ada," you barely notice that the air has grown warm with longing.

It's recently gotten its first high-end waterside resorts, and as the beach town of Sarande and the seaside city of Vlore have become more comfortable, so too has Tirana — the country's capital, about 2355 miles inland with a population of over half a million — grown more cosmopolitan, with new restaurants, shops and galleries joining the almost surrealist pastiche of testaments to the city's past.

While at first you might read it as an Indigenous object — particularly given the artist's Choctaw/Cherokee heritage — upon closer inspection, the work is in fact a pastiche of popular culture's appropriation of the "robe" as an ornament for performance, the gendering of objects (such as jingle embellishments and fringe as inherently female), and the notion of mass-produced objects and, obliquely, mass-produced culture.

The film he made instead, I Am Cuba (1964), was a hallucinatory, freewheeling work of communist kitsch, a pastiche of Soviet and Cuban symbolism that tried to combine camp and revolution; a sprawling story whose narratives never quite run together, all shot with a gravity-defying, always-on-the-move, "emotional" camera; a cinephile's wet dream, the film about which Werner Herzog once said anyone who hadn't seen it didn't deserve to be a cinematographer.

These writers describe a world where the visual has triumphed over the literary, where fragmented sound bites have replaced linear thinking, where nostalgia ("Make America Great Again") has replaced historical consciousness or felt experiences of the past, where simulacra is indistinguishable from reality, where an aesthetic of pastiche and kitsch (Trump Tower) replaces modernism's striving for purity and elitism, and where a shared plebeian culture of vulgarity papers over intensifying class disparities.

It is both a peppy celebration of can-do spirit and a more somber exploration of what American servicemen experienced when they marched home from World War II. Directed and choreographed by Andy Blankenbuehler, the Tony Award-winning choreographer of "Hamilton," with book and lyrics by the Broadway newcomers Richard Oberacker and Rob Taylor, and a 1940s pastiche score by Mr. Oberacker, "Bandstand" is an undercooked slice of apple pie, served with a dollop of anguish.

Guest rooms range from studios with bunk beds to spacious suites with sitting rooms, and the décor is a pastiche of pioneer-inspired designs: Off the entrance, Urban Electric fixtures hang over the original oak bar; the library's shelves, curated in part by the beloved Berkeley store Moe's Books, are piled with volumes that relate to Northern California; the Bay Area furniture designer Alexis Moran outfitted the lobby with nooks for gathering over oat-milk lattes (in Heath Ceramics mugs).

For all the significant movies of 1994 (a year that also produced The Lion King, The Shawshank Redemption, Clerks, Natural Born Killers, and Forrest Gump), it's Pulp Fiction that, maybe more than any other film in the past quarter century, has come to represent the stylistic benchmark of what contemporary crime cinema has since gravitated toward—and what movies today continue to emulate, especially in terms of meta storytelling, nonlinear narratives, and the endless homage and pastiche culture of the modern era.
