Way serves up ‘Chef’
PERRYSBURG – The feel-good comedy "Chef" will be screened Tuesday at 2 p.m. as part of Way
Library’s Show Me the Movie contemporary film series.
Released in 2014, "Chef" stars Jon Favreau, Sofia Vergara, Robert Downey, Jr., Scarlett
Johansson and "El Jefe," a food truck with killer Cubano sandwiches. Favreau plays Carl
Casper, a stubborn, world-class chef who leaves a stifling career and outfits a food truck with
signature dishes and his dreams of freedom. On a cross-country tour, he not only regains his kitchen
mojo but rebuilds a relationship with his young son. Mouth-watering food shots and a lively Latin
soundtrack make this film a feast for the senses. Rated R for language, this film is for adults only.
Museum exhibit explores the paper’s possibilities
TOLEDO – The possibilities of paper are explored in "Drawn, Cut & Layered: The Art of Werner
Pfeiffer," a new exhibition that opens Feb. 6 at the Toledo Museum of Art.
Nearly 200 one-of-a-kind and limited edition artist books, dimensional prints, collages and experimental
works will be shown in. Some of the works will be seen publicly for the first time.
Pfeiffer has used paper as both a canvas and a structural material for the past 50 years. As a sculptor,
printmaker and painter, he is fascinated with machines and machine-like constructions. His drawings are
schematic and his complex books have intricate moving parts.
Among works in the show are "Hocus Pocus," an homage to Dada, an artistic movement born out of
negative reaction to the horrors of World War I; "Zig Zag," a book in which Pfeiffer
investigates the nature of paper, creating a double accordion fold to show that "paper is not only
a surface but has architectural structure"; and "The Banana Drawings," a series of
drawings with seven basic images that reoccur in different configurations, in a combination of drawing
and silkscreen prints.
Drawn, Cut & Layered will be on view through May 3 in the Museum’s Canaday Gallery and Gallery
