This month marks the 22nd anniversary of the great poet of the street Charles Bukowski's death. To mark this occasion, Autre exclusively presents the premiere of Nana, a short film by Nana Ghana that brings to life Bukowski's poem Nana from his 1978 novel Women. The book focuses on the constant carousel of women with whom Henri Chinaski, an alter ego of Bukowski's, only finds temporary fulfillment.

Opening tomorrow night in Los Angeles, MAMA gallery will present To Hide To Show, a group exhibition derived from a contemporary French social anthropological study entitled Montrer / Occulter, which loosely translates to the exhibition’s title. The artists chosen to represent the ideas and concepts behind this study, and its conclusions, experiment with the notion of concealing and revealing on a societal, intellectual and creative basis. These artists include Clara Balzary, Zoe Crosher, Nana Ghana, Ariana Papademetropolous, Mattea Perrotta, Fay Ray, Lisa Solberg, and Johanna Tagada. Click here to read our interviews with all the artists.
