Galerie Gabrielle Maubrie presents two new works by Dennis Adams that play in the ruptures between Jean Seberg’s screen roles and real-life political intrigues. In “Blackface,” Adams reprinted 30 declassified documents from Jean Seberg’s FBI file at their original size on mirrors. The contents of these documents uncover the FBI’s monitoring of Seberg’s political, financial and sexual involvement with the Black Panthers and the smear campaign that FBI Director, J. Edgar Hoover generated with the news media to destroy her. These documents are graphically layered with both the FBI’s deletion markings of censored information and the reproduction scars generated from their serial photocopying as they were passed between offices within the agency. In reprinting the documents on mirrors, Adams compounds their graphic layering with the viewer’s reflection.

For her second husband, writer/director Romain Gary, Seberg ... starred in 1968's Les Oiseaux Vont Mourir au Perou. She remained a major star in Europe, but back home there was little interest in her work, despite a plum role in 1969's Paint Your Wagon. In fact, she gained greater notoriety for her high-profile involvement in the civil rights movement, especially her controversial support of the Black Panthers, which even aroused the ire of the FBI.

Seberg was deeply upset by the story, gave birth prematurely and the child died after two days. The actress never fully recovered, say her friends, and she committed suicide. Now, the truth of how a malicious lie was planted by the FBI and its director J. Edgar Hoover is emerging.

In FROM THE JOURNALS OF JEAN SEBERG director Mark Rappaport reflects on the disappointing career and unhappy life of the ill-fated actress. In short this remarkably perceptive film is no ordinary celebrity profile. For the truth is Seberg never recorded her thoughts in a journal and Rappaport is simply projecting his own thoughts in what amounts to a fictionalized autobiography. In it the director imagines what Seberg might have said about her past if she had been able to do a critical evaluation of her film work and her personal problems.

Seberg's problems were compounded when she went through a form of marriage to an Algerian playboy, Ahmed Hasni, on May 31, 1979. The brief ceremony had no legal force because she had taken film director Dennis Charles Berry[8] as her third husband in 1972 and the marriage was still valid[9] In July, Hasni persuaded her to sell her opulent apartment on the Rue du Bac, and he kept the proceeds (reportedly 11 million francs in cash), announcing that he would use the money to open a Barcelona restaurant.[10] The couple departed for Spain but she was soon back in Paris alone, and went into hiding from Hasni, whom she said had grievously abused her[11].
