This Wednesday, January 6, MOCA is highlighting British artist Phil Collins' video, "Soy Mi Madre "in the exhibition "The Reach of Realism," by creating a special screening time at 7:30 pm so you can watch it from start to finish. The video follows the fomat of a Mexican telenovella with a plotline filled with deceit and drama inspired by Jean Genet's radical play "The Maids." While Collins maintains the class struggle that Genet used to incite his audiences in the 1940s, today the story fits perfectly well in its telenovella structure. Telenovellas are a huge phenomenon and while primarily originating out of Latin America, they have an extensive global reach. Why is it that the telenovella is so popular and why do you think that Collins has created an artwork borrowing its conventions to adapt a play written in the 1940s? We would love your feedback if you already seen the video, and if not, please respond when you check it out on Wednesday.
