SEPT 28 - OCT 4
What is this mighty mishmash of buildings and people if not a series of cities within cities? The urban jungle is overgrown with self-contained metropolises this week — all you need is $2 for the underground, and you can take a trip to: The New Yorker Festival, Monkey Town, Variable City, Spectropolis, or flavorpill's own block party at the City Center. Just remember to get off before the end of the line, lest you end up in some godforsaken non-cityscape like an orchard or a valley. Ride the local, and spread it...



 
 
 
Focus Features presents THE MOTORCYCLE DIARIES, "ONE OF THE GREAT FILMS OF THIS, OR ANY YEAR! It's one of those special films which, as the frames speed by, you know you're having an unforgettable experience; you can't wait for the next scene, but at the same time you want it to last. It is a film I know will stay with me forever." Jeffrey Lyons, NBC - TV

where: City Center (130 W 56th St, 212.581.1212)
price:  FREE

Here's your chance to to meet the email equivalent of Bruce Wayne — or something. Come check out the people behind flavorpill at our first public event, as we co-host the atrium lounge for the Fall for Dance Festival. Even if you don't have tickets to the fest — and we hope you do — stop by to hang out, have a drink, and chill with friends in an airy vaulted marble atrium, decked out with comfy lounge furniture by Design Within Reach. Qool DJ Marv and Nickodemus & Mariano kick off the good vibes on Tuesday night, and the beats continue throughout the week for five hours each night with $mall ¢hange, Alexi Delano, DJ Fabrizio, Scott Hardkiss, Jeannie Hopper, Swingsett, and many more. Seek us out, you know you're curious. (JKG)




  
MULTIMEDIA: Dance
Variable City: Fox Square


when: Tue 9.28 (6:30-8:30pm)
where: Van Alen Institute (30 W 22nd St, 6th Fl, 212.924.7000)
price:  FREE
links: Event Info
 
Combining her training as a visual artist with her work and study under architect Steven Holl and theatrical wiz Robert Wilson, Julia Mandle creates performances that unexpectedly confront audiences in their own environment. Last October, the performers of Variable City, smartly choreographed by Mark Jarecke and strikingly cloaked by Mandle, occupied Fox Square in Brooklyn with precision and grace, in the hopes of rekindling the once-thriving theatre district there. Tonight, Mandle recreates her dynamic urban intervention as a performance that moves from the street to the gallery, where a hi-tech installation examines the design process and project development via photo and video documentation, costumes and props, and analysis of the original site. (PL)

Note: RSVP is strongly recommended, you can email or call 212.924.7000. The exhibit continues through Fri 11.19 (Mon-Fri: 12-6pm).




  
DJ
DJ Krush


when: Tue 9.28 (8pm)
where: B.B. King Blues Club & Grill (237 W 42nd St, 212.997.4144)
price: $17
links: Event Info | DJ Krush
 
For a decade, DJ Krush has forged a minimal, meditative brand of instrumental hip-hop that hovers somewhere between hushed Zen gardens and the dank back alleys of nighttime Tokyo. Ordinary hip-hop this ain't; he comes correct with a six-person band, complete with shakuhachi flute and Japanese drums, as well as MCs who are formidable artists in their own right. Aesop Rock and Mr. Lif, both from the Definitive Jux label, not only appear on his new album, Jaku, but also rhyme live for Krush on his North American tour. (AB)


 What movie, about the Japanese photographer Nobuyoshi Araki, did DJ Krush provide music for? Fifth and sixth correct answers each win a pair of tickets to this event.



  
MUSIC: Afro-Pop
Zap Mama


when: Tue 9.28 (9pm)
where: Irving Plaza (17 Irving Pl, 212.777.6800)
price: $25
links: Event Info | Zap Mama | Irving Plaza
 
The multicultural musical phenomenon Zap Mama rules under the regal charisma of Marie Daulne. Born of a Belgian father and Congolese mother, Daulne spent part of her childhood hiding from civil war in the jungles of Zaire, living with pygmies and experiencing their magical songs. As founder and leader of this seminal Afrocentric a capella group, Daulne has leveraged her life lessons over the last decade to take the music world by storm. This performance celebrates Zap Mama's new Ancestry in Progress with plenty of chants, rhythms, dubbed-out beatboxing, and tunes on the R&B tip, inspired by the likes of Talib Kweli, the Roots, and Erykah Badu. (JM)






  
ART: Opening
Orchard


when: Wed 9.29 (6-9pm)
where: 529 5th Ave, 212.599.0118
price:  FREE
links: Event Info
 
This fall there's no need to head to the country for apple picking. The bag is already bursting at Big Apple Fest's Orchard exhibition, a collection of juicy picks from the fields of art, fashion, and industrial design. Housed in a vacant retail store, Orchard fills a massive space with paintings, drawings, photographs, and 4-foot apple sculptures customized by emerging and established artists for a benefit auction. Jean Shin's apple, Bundled Icon, is crisscrossed with industrial plastic straps while Fritz Chesnut's Endless Wave is wrapped in a barreling monster swell. Kehinde Wiley turns secretion into decoration with AppleSeed and David Humphrey's Clown's Dream exposes a comic subconscious. (RA)

Note: Curated by Renee Riccardo, Orchard also includes Ellen Harvey, Cindy Sherman, Jonathan Seliger, Karim Rashid, Cynthia Rowley, Ryan McGinness, Jason Middlebrook, LoVid, and others. The exhibit continues through Sat 10.23 (Tue-Sat: 10am-5pm).


 Who painted the Sistine Apple? Sixth, eighth, and tenth correct answers each win a copy of Time Out New York's 2005 edition of Eating & Drinking.



  
DISCUSSION
John Sayles and Barbara Kingsolver


when: Wed 9.29 (7-9pm)
where: CUNY Graduate Center (5th Ave at 34th St, 212.209.5442)
price:  FREE
links: Event Info | John Sayles | Barbara Kingsolver
 
In a season heavily charged with election year drama, two veteran artists united in moral vision gather tonight to discuss the perplexities of injecting writing with a meaningful dose of the political. Independent filmmaker and author John Sayles shares the stage with the highly regarded author of The Poisonwood Bible, Barbara Kingsolver. Having corresponded for years, the pair meet for the first time, not only on the eve of the first presidential debate, but also while Sayles' new film Silver City plays nationally and draws on the all-too-familiar tale of a big money candidate scuffling for verbal grace and gravitas amidst the toxic glare of cash-and-carry politics — the very antithesis of the candor expected tonight. (DI)

Note: A book signing follows.




  
MUSIC: Modern Jazz
Patricia Barber


when: Wed 9.29 (9:30pm)
where: Joe's Pub (425 Lafayette St, 212.539.8778)
price: $30 / $27 advance
links: Event Info | Patricia Barber
 
The Beatles, Oedipus, and samba may seem to have little in common, but when jazz vocalist/pianist Patricia Barber connects them in her live show, it all begins to make sense. The Chicago-based artist hits her favorite NY nightspot in support of Live: A Fortnight in France (Blue Note), a gorgeously playful mixture of originals and inventive covers, including the Fab Four's "Norwegian Wood" reconstructed with temperamental piano and guitar solos. Lyrically, she discusses pianos falling on heads and khaki-clad white men exploiting primitive lands. Her smart humor belies a beautiful voice and graceful fingers, as well as one of the tightest rhythm sections this side of the Windy City. (DB)


 Name the three French cities in which Barber recorded her latest CD. Twelfth correct answer wins a pair of tickets to this event.





  
LECTURE: Photography
Lorna Simpson


when: Thur 9.30 (6:30pm)
where: American Federation of Arts (41 E 65th St, 212.988.7700)
price: $15
links: Lorna Simpson | American Federation of Arts
 
Lorna Simpson, the first African American woman to represent the United States in the Venice Biennale and the first to have a solo exhibition in MoMA's Projects series, is best known for her innovative use of black-and-white photography in combination with large-scale images and fragmented texts. In recent years she has begun working with film, and presented several new video installations this summer at Sean Kelly. Like her enigmatic early work, which examines racial and gender identity, these evocative new works evade direct interpretation with suggested narratives and metaphor. Tonight, Simpson discusses her formidable oeuvre and its densely-layered social, political, and aesthetic context. (KP)

Note: Reservations are required. Please call 212.988.7700 x64.




  
MULTIMEDIA
Monkey Town RNC Video Project


when: Thur 9.30 (8pm-12am)
where: Monkey Town (222 Leonard St, Wburg, 718.482.3664)
price: $5
links: Monkey Town
 
Whether you were in an armchair or on the ground during the RNC, neither option provided a comprehensive perspective. Fortunately, we're blessed with a double happiness this week: the return of Monkey Town, a Billyburg loft that serves food and drinks alongside multimedia madness, and a subversive, multi-channel look at the convention with SF media artist Ryan Junell's brand new video installation, See the Elephant!. With help from friends like Matmos/Björk collaborator J. Lesser, Junell assembled four different footage feeds — inside Madison Square Garden, outside with the law, in the streets with protestors, and in close quarters with the media — that play simultaneously on four screens with surround sound that includes found noises, sound bytes, and ad hoc interviews. (JKG)

Note: Tonight, the installation plays continuously, and seating is unlimited; on Fri 10.1 & Sat 10.2, there are two screenings (8 & 9:30pm), and reservations are necessary. Book now — they'll go fast.


 Describe, in 50 words or less, your most memorable moment during the RNC. Our favorite answer wins a pair of tickets to this event.



  
MUSIC: Latin Percussion
Daniel Moreno


when: Thur 9.30 (10pm)
where: No Moore (234 W Broadway, 212.925.2901)
price: $6
links: Daniel Moreno
 
Few percussionists have traveled the world as much as Daniel Moreno. Everywhere he goes he picks up exotic instruments, learns the local rhythms, and incorporates the good vibes into his ever-expanding repertoire. After nearly a year of drumming in the furthest depths of Salvador Bahia, this mysterious master is back in New York and ready to reveal the inner secrets of his Brazilian travels, unleashing indigenous Latin, African, Brazilian, and jazz grooves. Moreno is joined by a cadre of local master jazz musicians including percussionists Dende (Brazil), Baye Kouyate (Mali), and vocalist Gino Sitson (Cameroon). (JM)

Note: DJ Funmi Ononaiye opens at 9pm. Arrive early for best seating.






  
FESTIVAL
The New Yorker Festival


when: Fri 10.1 - Sun 10.3
where: Various venues
price: Various
links: Event Info
 
Perhaps a New Yorker cartoon would express it best: Older lady, heavy-eyed and still in her nightgown, on the phone, "Cat Power had one of her incidents at the music panel last night, so I'm going to be a bit late for the bagels and lox with Mark Morris." The New Yorker Festival has a remarkably overwhelming lineup of readings, talks, discussions, and excursions. Crammed into three days, the only question is how to choose between a reading by Jhumpa Lahiri or Jeffrey Eugenides, a talk with Wes Anderson or R. Crumb, or panel discussions on reality documentaries and the network coverage of Campaign '04. Not so funny, after all. (SP)

Note: Events are selling out fast — buy tickets now.




  
CONFERENCE
Spectropolis: Mobile Media, Art & the City


when: Fri 10.1 - Sun 10.3
where: Various venues
price:  FREE
links: Event Info
 
Computer geeks, artists, freelancers, and students alike unite to celebrate WiFi at a three-day tech fest that includes discussions, workshops, and proposal presentations. The makers of Urballoon present a new communication channel that fuses design, urban studies, and the power of WiFi. Karen Lee's Hotspot Bloom is a wearable flower that detects WiFi signals and changes colors depending on connection strength. But an NYC event these days wouldn't be complete without making a political statement — here, it's Joshua Kinberg's sloganeering ChalkWriter bike, rigged to receive messages (aka the ubiquitous "STOP BUSH") via Internet, which are then printed in chalk on the streets of Manhattan. (AT)




  
ART: Opening
Up Our Sleeve w/ dublab Soundsystem and Prefuse 73


when: Fri 10.1 (6pm-2am)
where: Aurora Gallery (515 W 29th St, 2nd Fl, 877.433.7105)
price: $5
links: Event Info | Prefuse 73
 
Despite the early oughties tech-boom shake-out, the online streaming senseis at dublab have stood the test of time, recently celebrating their fifth anniversary. Now, the LA arts collective comes to New York to drop their biggest ace, Up Our Sleeve: the dublab covers project — and drum up some life-giving proton grants in the process. More than 100 artists, including underground stars like Haze, Dave Kinsey, Glen E. Friedman, Jack Black, Mr. Scruff, and Kid Acne, apply pen and pixel to the time-tested album cover format. Sheriffs, sylphs, freeways, and a California grizzly are just some of the motifs gracing this collection of record-breaking art. Tonight's party features musical selection from Frosty and the dublab Soundsystem, plus special guests Caural, Prefuse 73, and the Turntable Lab DJs. Make no mistake: dublab's got you covered. (PHS)

DJ
XLR8R New York Issue Party, Part Deux


when: Fri 10.1 (10pm)
where: The Frying Pan (23rd St and the Westside Hwy, 212.989.6363)
price: $10
links: XLR8R
 
To help stave off your ravenous appetite for the forthcoming LCD Soundsystem LP, XLR8R presents DFA's James Murphy playing his first NYC DJ gig in many moons — in the rusty belly of a boat, no less. Adding to this semi-seaborne soiree is Tim Sweeney, fresh from releasing his own mix for RVNG, Pop Your Funk's Roy Dank, along with Vivian Host, aka Star Eyes, repping the Syrup Girls duo. From these, expect your (un)usual peppering of Italo, disco, electro, two-step, and more, while landlubbers Nickodemus & Mariano keep things eclectic on the pier, working the jazz 'n breaks tip. (CJN)

Note: The first issue party (Part Une) takes place on Thur 9.30 (9pm) at APT, see the XLR8R website for details.


 Which anniversary did XLR8R magazine recently celebrate? Thirteenth and 15th correct answers each win a one-year subscription.





  
CONFERENCE
Creativity Now


when: Sat 10.2 & Sun 10.3
where: The Great Hall, Cooper Union (7 E 7th St, 212.353.4100)
price: $45 per day / $80 weekend
links: Event Info
 
Now in its second year, the titular imperative of Tokion magazine's annual Creativity Now symposium has only become more urgent, and their lineup, more jaw-dropping. The two-day event gathers established and rising artists from across the creative spectrum: music, film, fashion, DJ, art, and media. Though it seems almost shameful to pick and choose, some of this year's highlights include: a talk from punk pop artist Raymond Pettibon; Carlo McCormick interviewing Brian Eno; a film panel with Lynne Ramsay, David Gordon Green, Asia Argento, and Mike White; a sit-down with docu-photographers Nan Goldin and Ryan McGinley; and an election year special on marketing, Persona vs. Policy, featuring Joe Trippi and John Podesta. Register now! (JKG)




  
MUSIC: Indie Rock
Bloc Party


when: Sat 10.2 (11pm)
where: Tribeca Grand Hotel (2 Ave of Americas, 212.519.6500)
price:  FREE w/ RSVP
links: Bloc Party
 
UK art-rockers Bloc Party can certainly thank acts such as Franz Ferdinand and the Rapture for opening the door so widely and holding it for them to step through. But while the disco punk signifiers — dance beats, angular guitars, shout-y vocals — are all on their self-titled debut EP, there's also a heavy dose of the intelligent art school indie rock that has marked many of Blur's best moments. In fact, while singer Kele Okereke gets his share of Robert Smith comparisons, quite often he's got far more Damon Albarn in his voice than anything gloomier. The band makes its US debut this week — be among the first to welcome them. (DL)

Note: Bloc Party also play the Knitting Factory on Thur 9.30 (9pm, $10).




  
MUSIC: Noise
Avey Tare w/ Gang Gang Dance and Frog Eyes


when: Sat 10.2 (11pm)
where: Rothko (116 Suffolk St, 212.475.7088)
price: $7
links: Event Info | Gang Gang Dance | Frog Eyes
 
As band members are wont to do, the various human components of these three outfits like to play musical chairs — at different times, each can be found in a different collaboration, under a different name. What makes Animal Collective and Gang Gang Dance easy to follow amidst the shape-changing is that any incarnation of their diversely talented members is truly phenomenal and should get you out of your chair. If their recent show with Black Dice at Bowery Ballroom is any indication, this gig should feature both extended, improvisational melt-jams and the more tuneful album tracks that everyone can knowingly bounce around to. Rothko's grouping consists of Animal Collective's Avey Tare and Gang Gang Dance, with additional fauna, Frog Eyes, rounding out the zoo. (KG)

Note: This is part of North Loop and Crashin' In's new weekly, Call the Cops, at Rothko.


 What five members would you include in your collective? Most creative answer wins a pair of tickets to this event.





  
FESTIVAL
Knit-Out and Crochet


when: Sun 10.3 (12-5pm)
where: Union Square Park (17th St at Broadway)
price:  FREE
links: Event Info
 
Last year the Stitch 'n Bitch phenomenon took the nation by storm, as the 21st-century reincarnation of knitting was introduced as a hip take on the activity formerly characterized as a grandmotherly pastime. Now knitting is a fad across the country, and is found in every NYC neighborhood from Alphabet City to the Upper West Side. Thanks to the Craft Yarn Council of America, newbies can learn to knit or crochet today for no investment other than their time, while veterans can browse the latest yarns, needles, and patterns. And don't forget the best part of the spectacle: a homespun fashion show for people and dogs. (AT)






  
COMEDY
New York Underground Comedy Festival


when: Mon 10.4 - Sun 10.10
where: Various venues
price: Various
links: Event Info
 
Not to be confused with the upcoming flashier (and pricier) NY Comedy Festival, the New York Underground Comedy Festival is a weeklong showcase of emerging comedians, relishing stand-up as an art form instead of a cash cow. The festival highlights ethnic (The Greek Show, Indian Comedy Night, Viva Latino), female (Chicks & Giggles, Midnight Funny Women), and gay (The Starlight Review) comedians. Political humor is aplenty with Chicago City Limits' newest improv Ambushed, Bizarro cartoonist Dan Piraro, and Operation Phone Home, a benefit raising money for US troops stationed abroad to call their families during the holidays. (SP)


 Tell us your best one-liner. Five funniest answers each win a pair of tickets to this event.



  
READING
Gary Lutz


when: Mon 10.4 (7:30pm)
where: Junno's (64 Downing St, 212.627.7995)
price:  FREE
links: Gary Lutz | Stories in the Worst Way
 
More private poet than plot-driven prose developer, fiction writer Gary Lutz' use of language is wildly experimental and engaging even as his sentence structure is crystal clear and precise. Similarly, while his characters slog through lives riddled with small obsessions and little meaning, their melancholy revelations apply with a wondrous and frightening exactitude: "Because some days the world holds true at the drop of a hat... Other days, you can barely exempt yourself from what you might still be capable of." Though he's not widely known, Lutz has already proved himself capable of much. Tonight is a rare opportunity to hear him read from unpublished work, along with writer Rachel Sherman. (JKG)






  
FILM
Goodbye Dragon Inn (2003)


when: Now playing
where: Cinema Village (22 E 12th St, 212.924.3363)
price: $9
links: Event Info
 
A majestic movie house is both setting and subject in Goodbye Dragon Inn (2003), Tsai Ming-liang's haunting valentine to the cinematic experience. Favoring lengthy and often static shots, Tsai gives us a tableau vivant in reverse, in which moving images are brought to a near-standstill, and we are able to focus on the vaguely familiar expressions, gestures, and noises of the characters with an intensity usually reserved for objects of art. Featured in both the 2003 New York Film Festival and BAM's Best of 2003 series, the film is already in the middle of its soon-to-be-over run at Cinema Village. (LG)




  
THEATRE
Push Up 1-3


when: Now through Sun 10.3 (Wed-Sat: 8pm / Sun: 3pm)
where: Connelly Theatre (220 E 4th St, 212.868.4444)
price: $15
links: Event Info
 
The characters in German playwright Roland Schimmelpfennig's Push Up 1-3 frequently step away from the finely-staged workplace situations to address the audience, each revealing a lonely, angry, and obsessive persona. Their private cries for recognition are painfully unspoken, their longing for affection vigilantly hidden behind the guise of professionalism. Set in a glitzy office of an unnamed corporation and structured as a three-episode account, the play presents its characters as single-minded cynics whose desperation is the driving force behind their hard-edged ambitions. Melanie Dreyer's chilly new American translation intensifies the narrative and allows the play to transcend its Teutonic origins. (SP)




  
PHOTOGRAPHY
Larry Sultan: The Valley


when: Now through Sat 10.16 (Tue-Sat: 11am-5pm)
where: Janet Borden (560 Broadway, 212.431.0166)
price:  FREE
links: Event Info | Larry Sultan
 
The culmination of Larry Sultan's five-year investigation of San Fernando Valley homes rented out as weekend sets for porn production, The Valley presents languidly revealing suburban scenarios. The photographer's unconventional framing presents a community both excited and fatigued by banality — capturing movie talent in precious off-moments of contemplation or hunger, while in other pictures focusing almost exclusively on the pre-existing domestic staging of gazebos, swimming pools, and canopy beds. Though certainly complicit with the allure of on-set action, Sultan's large-scale color prints, abutted one to the next here, achieve a rare, piquant humanism that expresses both the absurdity and the reality of the American dream machine, and the conflicting fantasies that keep it churning. (AM)

Note: Discover more images from the project in Sultan's remarkable book.




  
ART
Before the End (The Last Painting Show)


when: Now through Sat 10.23 (Tue-Sat: 11am-6pm)
where: Swiss Institute (495 Broadway, 3rd Fl, 212.925.2035)
price:  FREE
links: Event Info
 
Back in the '60s, conceptual art brought an end to the reductive process of modern art and the oft-quoted saying, "Painting is dead," was born. Modern art was concerned with form, which met its finality in minimalism, while conceptual art relied on the intangible, mental image. This excellent show, organized by painter Olivier Mosset, brings together last paintings by a core group of conceptual artists and invites us to consider why they made the shift. Ian Wilson contributes a red square of pigment on fiberglass presented flush to the wall; Art & Language displays two slabs of gray-painted wood labeled painting and sculpture; and Robert Barry's tiny blue square makes the context as important as the painting. (PL)

Note: Catch a conceptual tale by Lawrence Weiner, who's represented in the show by a two-tone shaped gem, at SI's Ext 17.







CD REVIEW: Rogue Wave, Out of the Shadow
Sub Pop
Released July 2004
$12.99 (Amazon)

On Rogue Wave's debut, Out of the Shadow, singer-songwriter Zach Rogue and his cohorts must clear one formidable hurdle: the band's remarkable similarity to the Shins. Indeed, the two bands share an affinity for gentle acoustic/electric psychedelia and understated vocals; Rogue Wave, however, distills the formula — the band's introspective, tightly-structured indie pop has more in common with Death Cab for Cutie than the sprawling psych-folk of their aforementioned labelmates. The careening "Endless Shovel" showcases Zach Rogue's knack for the plucked-out-of-the-air melody, its wide-eyed chorus rolling hook over hook as if down a hill; "Sewn Up" is melancholic and painfully catchy, channeling a sad, slightly stoned Kinks. It's an immensely promising first outing — superficial similarities be damned! (TG)

 
GET LIT: Identity Theory
These days, young writers become as instantly celebrated — and just as instantly disposable — as any other trend in our Culture of Hip. Thankfully, Identity Theory aims a little higher than the status quo, transforming a cozy corner of the Internet into a quiet space for writers to really strut their stuff. Founded in 2000 by Matt Borondy, who still edits the site, each issue of IT features slow, engrossing interviews with various stars on the avant-writer's horizon (the very first installment was a chat with Howard Zinn), along with most everything else made of words, from poems to blogs. (PJW)




 
STREAMS: KCRW
At 89.9 it all happens on the airwaves and online, so that LA locals and the rest of the (networked) world are listening on a level playing field. Which is good news, because KCRW offers much more than just eclectic music (though they do have that in spades). The station also provides extensive election coverage, and they'll be carrying this year's first Presidential candidate debate on Thursday. For the nearsighted, there's Bookworm, a page-turning program with a Dan Chaon talk and a tribute to poet Czeslaw Milosz upcoming in October. Of course, all this doesn't mean you shouldn't tune in for tunes, too — try The Drop when you're getting dressed for success on a Saturday night. (JKG)
