In a previous post (take this opportunity to apologize for the delay in publishing) announced the presence in Barcelona (which later will travel to other English latitudes) of an exhibition on Chaplin, including photographs, film clips and other miscellaneous materials. I said I had pending a personal visit to this exhibition, a visit that I paid and finally of the offer here a brief description and assessment.
For those who are familiar with issues Mk2 launched some time in the DVD market Chaplin movies (edited in a white box and an attractive font) and the delicious extras that included the accompanying DVD, this exhibition will bring too strictly unreleased material. Documents are here as amateur films that Chaplin made between his family and friends, and in his last years in Switzerland, or the ones made in the shootings, as one titled How to Make Movies (1918), which appeared on DVD of The boy . Also curious as documents in color a few minutes shooting the dance scene The Great Dictator. For those who have seen these materials themselves that are new all the magazine covers several decades and from different parts of the globe to document the early popularity and universality of myth. Its influence on other artists and other demonstrations, such as small treasures in display cases from the Swiss collection guarding the artist's personal legacy. Some mounts are also fond of frames and labels in small format, presented like a comic in black and white.
Best of the exhibition is the way of presenting the materials, grouped in ways that help to reflect on his art and his influence. Since the elements that help shape his character (the bowler hat, mustache, cane ...) or imitation (when no plagiarism) that some contemporaries make it to the grounds of its universality, also displayed aspects of his technique acting, his work with the gestures and choreography (the latter aspect that is represented by the simultaneous projection of three giant screens of small pieces of film) to work director and in particular its relation to politics (especially the witch hunt and exile) and with the advent of sound. His defense and his silent film to talkies skepticism is represented in a projection room number modern times in which Charlie has to improvise a song, whose lyrics made with words from different languages \u200b\u200bwhen they are real words visitors to the exhibition can be read on a side panel.
know little of their journey, sometimes loses the linear chronology, but it certainly gives educational and entertaining touches on the most interesting aspects of Chaplin.
