The group will discuss the works in the exhibition, which was inspired by the often conflicting emotions and experiences described in the song “hornylovesickmess” by Norwegian singer-songwriter Marie Ulven (aka the girl in red), including desire, longing, sex, melancholy, vulnerability, and power.

Anna Weyant Selects

Anna Weyant has curated a selection of three films as part of an ongoing series copresented by Gagosian and Metrograph. Weyant comments, “The experience of watching each of these films is markedly different with respect to their individual style, storytelling, aesthetic, and dialogue. When I consider what it is about these stories that resonates with me, I am repeatedly drawn to their through lines of the power dynamics, complexities, and deceptions in relationships (and society); the uneasiness that comes from not fully knowing one’s surroundings (or the company one keeps); and our inherent desires for connection in an increasingly isolating world.”
Featured films include
Lost in Translation (2003, directed by Sofia Coppola)
Gone Girl (2014, directed by David Fincher)
Parasite (2019, directed by Bong Joon Ho)
Still from Gone Girl (2013), directed by David Fincher

La Forza del Destino
January 30–March 31, 2024
Metropolitan Opera, Lincoln Center, New York
www.metopera.org
As part of the Gallery Met Banners project, the Metropolitan Opera has commissioned Anna Weyant to create a painting to celebrate the staging of Giuseppe Verdi’s Italian opera La Forza del Destino. The work will be reproduced in the form of a sixty-foot banner installed on the façade of Lincoln Center in New York during the production. Weyant’s painting, which shares the same name as the opera, portrays Leonora, the tortured principal character, with closed eyes, bright red lips, and a single visible pearl earring. The words “Forza” and “Destino” are rendered in a vintage font with a scarlet hue and bloody “dripping” effect, evoking posters for classic Italian-made horror movies of the 1950s and ’60s.
