What's Happening in Santo Domingo

Checking the DR1 Calendar for the weekend of 22-24 June there are more events than anyone could get to. There are some great events this weekend so it will be tough to decide which to go to. Maybe you could package several together. For instance:

Visitors to the Museum of Modern Art will come away with a general overview of contemporary art in the Dominican Republic, insights into the extraordinary work of contemporary artist Elsa Nunez. They also will be able to view the outstanding selection of photographs by Man Ray (Emmanuel Radnitzky, 1890-1976), the late photographer best known for his work in leading magazines such as Vogue, Bazaar and Vanity Fair. His biography tells that he worked in Paris from 1921 to 1940. His assistants included Berenice Abbott and Lee Miller, and Duchamp, Stieglitz, Picasso and Dali were among his colleagues. A member of the Dada art movement and the only American member of the Paris Surrealist movement, Man Ray considered himself an artist and thought of photography as a medium of artistic expression when used for more than reproduction. The Santo Domingo exhibition is sponsored by the Ministry of Culture, the Embassy of France, Embassy of the United States and the Museum of Modern Art. The exhibition opened this month and will continue through the end of July. See more events at http://www.dr1.com/calendar
