Arianne Phillips, the Academy Award-nominated costume designer, spent years unpicking layers of truth and fiction to create the wardrobe for Bob Dylan’s character in the new biopic “A Complete Unknown.” The movie, starring Timothée Chalamet, focuses on the origins, and motivation, of the famously enigmatic singer-songwriter. Phillips says coming up with the costumes wasn’t easy, and there was a lot of guesswork involved. “Our story is about Bob’s origin — finding his way to New York City in search of his hero, Woody Guthrie and his relationship to fame. A biopic on him is quite tricky because he is a very cryptic person, who has kept a lot of myths alive about his life. He’s never been really forthcoming and it’s part of his persona — he’s this mythological character that he’s created for himself,” says Phillips, who worked closely with the director James Mangold.

A few weeks before the opening of “Homecoming” at the Pérez Art Museum Miami, artist José Parlá was surprised to find himself not in Miami but inside his Brooklyn studio. “My mind was all over the place, so I kind of forgot that I was walking into the museum,” says Parlá, who was in Miami for the show’s install. “It was quite shocking that it felt just like my studio.” In a way, the feeling was accurate; Parlá has recreated his Brooklyn studio inside the museum as part of his solo exhibition. He’s long wanted to bring his studio to life within the context of an exhibition, and curator Maritza M. Lacayo and PAMM director Franklin Sirmans were enthusiastic partners in offering the public a glimpse into the artist’s creative process beyond the physical act of painting. “There are symbols that you find through the journey of seeing the tables, the palettes, the materials. Some of the materials date back 25 years,” he says of the installation. José Parlá painting onsite at PAMM. Parlá curat...
