Rivertown Presents Cathy and Harry, Directed by Marta Renzi and Daniel Wolff
Wednesday, June 25, 8:00pm, The Nyack Center, 58 Depew Ave, Nyack
A revealing and humorous double portrait of Catherine Murphy and Harry Roseman whose work is in collections from the Metropolitan Museum of Art to the Metropolitan Transit Authority. “Cathy & Harry” documents how their lives revolve in joyous, dizzying intensity around work, food, friends, and each other.
Both Cathy and Harry are well-known artists with works in major museums and private collections. “Cathy & Harry” demystifies that, letting us get a feel for the day-to-day work of trying to make something of value. As well as important contemporary artists, Cathy and Harry become people – and people you’d probably like to have dinner with.
Discussion after the film with Marta Renzi, Daniel Wolff, Catherine Murphy, and Harry Roseman.
