Featuring works by Dominic Chambers, Lenz Geerk, Wangari Mathenge, Collins Obijiaku, Betye Saar, Taylor White, Brenna Youngblood and Zhao Zhao. An exhibition built on the suggestive power of the hotel room, the works, and their staging, chart the ease with which people slip into different personas once they inhabit temporary spaces. As an in-between space that highlights the tensions between individuals in different settings, or changing moods evoked by the passing of time, the hotel room frequently implies the transitory nature of contemporary life.

Academy Award-winning director Hayao Miyazaki (Spirited Away, Howl’s Moving Castle, The Wind Rises) made his animated feature film debut with this beloved chapter of the Lupin the 3rd saga, now presented in a new 4K digital restoration. In the twilight of his career, master thief Lupin III’s (voice of Yasuo Yamada) latest and greatest caper has hit a snag. What should’ve been bags of cash from a national casino turns out to be expert counterfeits! Together with his partner-in-crime Jigen (Kiyoshi Kobayashi), Lupin heads to the remote nation of Cagliostro to exact revenge. Not everything goes as planned; the two encounter Clarisse, a royal damsel in distress being forced to marry the sinister Count Cagliostro against her will. Saving her won’t be easy, however, as Lupin and Jigen—together with the unpredictable lady thief Fujiko (Eiko Masuyama) and the swordsman Goemon (Makio Inoue)—must fight their way through a trap-filled castle, a deadly dungeon, and an army of professional assassins!
