Join us on Thursday, August 6 for a special screening of HEAARTBEAT, an intimate documentary by Alexandra Fairweather exploring the life, work, and creative philosophy of the late sculptor John Chamberlain. Drawn from years of personal footage and unprecedented access, the film offers a rare portrait of Chamberlain not only as one of the most influential artists of the postwar era, but as a father, husband, friend, and endlessly curious creative force.

Filmed over seven years and featuring archival footage captured by Fairweather beginning in her teenage years, HEAARTBEAT moves beyond the public mythology surrounding Chamberlain to reveal the rhythms of his daily life, artistic process, humor, and humanity. The documentary traces his six-decade practice across crushed automobiles, foam, aluminum foil, photography, and other experimental mediums, while exploring his belief that art should create an experience that “makes your heart beat.”

At once deeply personal and historically resonant, HEAARTBEAT is both a portrait of a groundbreaking artist and a meditation on legacy, memory, and the enduring power of art.
