(Downtown, $10)
9. I Am Not Your Negro
An ingeniously constructed documentary about one of the 20th centuryâs greatest, and more conflicted, artist/polemicists, this film is built from the proposal for Remember This House, the book James Baldwin never finished. As Samuel Jacksonâs voice-over mingles with archival footage of Baldwin laying waste to his intellectual opposition on TVâand by the way, letâs pause for a moment to consider a time when a figure as radically attuned, and as volcanically erudite, and as sexually nonconforming as James Baldwin could have appeared regularly on network televisionâdirector Raoul Peck conveys the sense of a writer who has come to understand an idea that is bigger than he has the mortal strength to convey, which would almost make the film a tragedy within the context of the larger systemic tragedy its subject yearned to articulate. But even a glimpse of Baldwinâs prose is such a feast for mind, body, and soul that a film like I Am Not Your Negro can only be received with joy, humility, and deepest admiration. SEAN NELSON

FRIDAY-SATURDAY
ART29. Claire Cowie: 'Selvedge' | Brad Winchester: 'RINSE/REPEAT'
Claire Cowie works in watercolor, collage, and sculpture to produce imaginary worlds that resonate with the emotional and perceptual experience of intimacy, imagination, and physical space. Sometimes these spaces are densely populated with animals, figures, and architectural elements; other times they are haunted by an absence so profound that you can't quite put your finger on what's missing. Brad Winchester is a painter whose recent work has bypassed painting altogether to deconstruct the physicality of the canvas, using unwoven linen to create sculptural objects with or without stretcher bars. This is his first exhibition at James Harris. EMILY POTHAST
