Did you see The Hurt Locker? If you did, great, but if you haven’t, you should do it now. It’s a great film. Great story, great direction, great acting, great everything. It’s about a soldier who pushes all his limits (and those of the people around him) and it reveals a great truth: men love war. They love to fight and they love to win. And that’s it. As you probably already know, the director of THL is a woman by the name of Kathryn Bigelow. But what you might not know is that, besides being James Cameron’s ex-wife, Bigelow is also an ex-conceptual artist. Back in the ’70s she collaborated with people like Lawrence Weiner, Vito Acconci and Richard Serra. Some might say her conceptualist past isn’t more than a footnote in her biography, a funny anecdote to tell at a social dinners. But how can one determine whether one’s early years are just a hitch or the origin of everything that followed? Breaking Point, at castillo/corrales until March 20, traces Kathryn Bigelow’s trajectory in art in the 1970s and her subsequent progression into the contemporary popular cinematic landscape.
