Cultural Stimuli in NYC
Issue 305: introspective flavor

This week, the scattershot, spring-fever compulsion to get up and go is balanced by an unusually introspective array of happenings. Photographer and identity-chameleon Nikki S. Lee returns with a new exhibition in Midtown, Switching Worlds presents multimedia works that examine displaced selves, and, on the stage, Burden's Marissa Perel draws us into her very personal healing process. Music-obsessed funnyman Aziz Ansari digs into R. Kelly's confused, ego-tripping epic Trapped in the Closet, and Bob and Harvey Weinstein discuss their pre- and post-Miramax movie moguling with critic Janet Maslin. The new film Hard Candy flips the script on the predator/prey relationship, and the documentary Sisters in Law takes us through the social and legal travails of Cameroon's silent classes. On a less navel-gazing note, Still Smoking's dance reflects the hustle and bustle of urbanity, Elysian Fields bring lush balladeering, Lil' Flip and Chamillionaire kick Texas tales of gats and rides, Psapp deliver micro-pop confections, and DJ Milo takes us back to the sounds of old-school Bristol. Whether you're feeling reflective or expressive, the Big Apple's got your back, so spread it...

 

flavorpill NYC is an email magazine covering a hand-picked selection of music, art, and cultural events — delivered each Tuesday afternoon.

Turning the revenge-

MULTIMEDIA
Switching Worlds: Desires and Identities

when: Now through Sat 4.15 (10am-6pm)
where: Austrian Cultural Forum (11 E 52nd St, 212.319.5300) map
price:
links: Event Info

Switching Worlds' 11 participants employ digital media and the languages of popular culture and mass media to address displaced Austrian identity. Ursula Endlicher's real-time web feed The Amazons is a humorous video and multimedia installation depicting her American and European selves in split-screen format. Viewers can navigate the scrolling text over this projection with their bottoms, as the seat of a chair doubles as a mouse. Striking a more serious note, Kurt Hentschlager's Karma, which reanimates the dead figures of video games so that they float and twitch periodically, illustrates society's numbness to simulated violence in 21st-century entertainment. (PJ)



THEATRE
Peer Gynt

when: Tue 4.11 - Sun 4.16 (Tue, Wed-Sat: 7pm / Sun: 2pm)
where: BAM (30 Lafayette Ave, Bklyn, 718.636.4100) map
price: $25-80
links: Event Info

For the 100th anniversary of Henrik Ibsen's death, the recent barrage of New York stagings of the great dramatist's plays continues. Two vaunted Norwegian institutions, the National Theatre of Bergen and the Norwegian Theatre of Oslo, team with director Robert Wilson to create a contemporary adaptation of Peer Gynt at BAM. Back in its day, the play brought about one of modern drama's first antiheroes in Peer, an imaginative, imprudent youth who degenerates into a selfish opportunist. Wilson examines the existential play through a dreamy lens, infusing elements of ancient Norwegian folklore into a modern retelling of a timeless masterpiece. (SP)

  What was Oscar Wilde's oft-repeated impression of Ibsen's Hedda Gabler? The third correct response wins a pair of tickets to tonight's show.



MUSIC: Glitch Folk
Psapp w/ Slowlands and the iOs

when: Tue 4.11 (8:30pm)
where: Mercury Lounge (217 E Houston St, 212.260.4700) map
price: $10
links: Event Info | Psapp | Slowlands | The iOs

Psapp's delicate electro-orchestral pop cribs a page from Matthew Herbert's playbook, with a similar appropriation of found sounds and innovative arrangements. Vocalist Galia Durant plaintively and soulfully croons over Satie-like piano plinking, the sounds of metal ashtrays and kitchen utensils, sultry strings, and subtle electronics on the London-based duo's sophomore album, The Only Thing I've Ever Wanted. One of the best bands you didn't know you knew — the theme song for Grey's Anatomy is a Psapp tune — Psapp recently made an auspicious jump to Domino Records. The whimsical studio creations take form onstage tonight with help from live bass, violin, and drums. (RBD)

  What type of music does Psapp's Carim Clasmann credit as an early influence? The fifth correct response wins a pair of tickets to this show.

FILM
Sisters in Law

when: Wed 4.12 - Tue 4.25 (1, 3:15, 5:40, 8, & 10:10pm)
where: Film Forum (209 W Houston St, 212.727.8110) map
price: $10
links: Event Info

Festival-blazing filmmaker Kim Longinotto (The Day I Will Never Forget) returns with her latest cinema verité-style documentary, Sisters in Law. Co-directed by Florence Ayisi, the film takes us to a small Muslim village in Cameroon where women and children are seen, but struggle to be heard. A Cagney and Lacey-like duo has set up shop to help this unempowered population navigate through a court of law. Often encountering cases that place their defendants in precarious positions within the community, the two are able to dish out sobriety with a delightful dash of humor. Waltzing from heart-rending to inspirational, Sisters in Law has proven itself a pleaser, dancing away with several awards including the prestigious Prix Art et Essai at Cannes and the audience award at IDFA. (MB)

Note: Longinotto appears in person at tonight's 8pm screening.

  Why did Longinotto have to abandon her original plan of filming a female judge in a rural region? The second correct response wins a pair of tickets to the 5:40pm screening on Mon 4.17.



ALSO ON WED

MUSIC: Post-Rock
Wilderness w/ the Big Sleep

PERFORMANCE
Burden

when: Thur 4.13 - Sat 4.15 (8pm)
where: The Chocolate Factory (5-49 49th Ave, LIC, 718.482.7069) map
price: $15
links: Event Info | The Chocolate Factory

Performance artist Marissa Perel draws from her experience with a near-fatal accident in Burden, an exploration of the process of recovery. Special guests bring their own burdens to the nightly cleansing performance ceremonies, filling the Chocolate Factory's basement with constructions that merge with Kayvon Pourazar's movement and Jon Moniaci's live music, while Perel conducts the activities from a bathtub in an elevator shaft. No one said recovery is an easy task. (SP)



ALSO ON THUR

DANCE
Still Smoking
Thur 4.13 - Sat 4.15 (Thur & Sat: 8pm / Fri: 7 & 9:30pm) The Kitchen (512 W 19th St, 212.255.5793) map $12

FILM
Hard Candy

when: Opens Fri 4.14
where: Angelika Film Center (18 W Houston St, 212.995.2000) map
price: $10.75
links: Event Info | Hard Candy

Let the record show that Hard Candy is not for candy-asses. It is, after all, about a pedophile who stalks 14-year-old girls he seduces in Internet chatrooms, a 14-year-old girl who stalks pedophiles lurking in Internet chatrooms, and the gory afternoon they spend in his well-appointed home studded with photographs of teenage models. And yet, because of its indie budget, naturalistic cast, and sharp-toothed script, Hard Candy sidesteps some of the obvious hypocrisies that would've doomed a glossy, gorgeous movie about the dangers of fetishizing young lasses. Sorry, Crash-lovers, but maybe it takes an undogmatic, old-school thriller to really breathe new life into identity politics. (LR)

READING
Post-it Note Reading Series feat. David Rakoff and Starlee Kine

when: Sat 4.15 (7:30 & 10pm)
where: Monkey Town (58 N 3rd St, Wburg, 718.384.1369) map
price: $8
links: Event Info

Artist Arthur Jones (Dirty Found) has grand designs for the humble Post-it. Long since relegated to last-minute roommate reminders and hurried to-do lists, the sticky squares become host to much more than scribbles tonight, as he presents a series of illustrations on these mini canvases. This American Life's David Rakoff and Starlee Kine, along with writers (and fellow Lifers) Jorge Just and Joshuah Bearman, read stories on one of the four seasons, accompanied by projections of Jones' compact artwork. Expect an evening of wit and levity as Monkey Town proves the artistry of the Post-it extends far beyond "Buy Milk." (LT)

Note: Reservations are recommended.



MUSIC: Dance Punk-Funk
Measles Mumps Rubella w/ Great Lakes

when: Sat 4.15 (8pm)
where: Tonic (107 Norfolk St, 212.358.7501) map
price: $8
links: Event Info | Measles Mumps Rubella | Great Lakes

Since fleeing the dance-phobic streets of our nation's capitol, Measles Mumps Rubella have honed a more groove-happy disposition, bowling over Brooklynites with a chic-punk aesthetic akin to fellow indie-funkers !!!. But while those exclamation-happy folk were bred on bands like Liquid Liquid, MMR wear their hardcore roots like patches on their sleeves (or X's on their hands). All Scars alum Chuck Bettis (a fellow DC expat and recent addition to the group) levels staccato yelps in the vein of Ian Curtis as the band swirls screeching guitars and noisy effects into long, nasty jams. You'd best show support in the name of NYC, or Ian Mackaye might try to steal 'em back. (AP)



COMEDY
Trapped in the Closet feat. Aziz Ansari

when: Sat 4.15 (midnight)
where: Upright Citizens Brigade Theater (307 W 26th St, 212.366.9176) map
price: $8
links: Event Info | Aziz Ansari

R. Kelly's real sex life is complicated enough, but when his rap contains more plot twists than a Shakespearean farce, it begs some serious (or less-than-serious) decoding. Barring CliffsNotes, the befuddled Kelly-enthusiast would do well to attend comedian Aziz Ansari's panel discussion Trapped in the Closet: Chapters 6-12, in which he — along with co-host Eric Appel and a council of comics — promises to demystify the utterly unironic hip-hopera. Erstwhile panelists have included downtown comedic darlings Patton Oswalt, Eugene Mirman, and David Cross, who, besides being hilarious, all happen to be "Closet" scholars. (LT)

  Having mastered the musical/opera, what art form should R. Kelly take on next, and why? The two most creative responses in 50 words or less each win a pair of tickets to this event.



ALSO ON SAT

DJ
Misshapes presents the Ladytron and French Kicks Afterparty
Sat 4.15 (11pm) Don Hill's (511 Greenwich St, 212.219.2850) map

Event Info
 
Arguably the city's defining (and increasingly high-profile) rock 'n roll dance night, Misshapes plays host to the afterparty for tonight's sold-out Ladytron show, featuring openers French Kicks DJing a set of post-punk and mod-ish melodies. (CJN)



Sunday TUE   WED   THUR   FRI   SAT   SUN   MON   ONG   FEAT


DJ
Leftovers feat. Derek Plaslaiko, Wolf + Lamb, and DJ Spinoza

when: Sun 4.16 (4pm-midnight)
where: Love (40 W 8th St, 212.477.5683) map
price: $10 / $5 before 6pm
links: Event Info | Derek Plaslaiko | Wolf + Lamb | DJ Spinoza

Leftovers at Love takes the traditional afternoon tea-dance party concept and knocks it left-of-center with house more micro than deep, and woozy, minimal techno. The dark and intimate Love offers an superlative sound system, a chillout room complete with waterfall, and carpeted cubbyholes for cocooning. Leftovers brings four of New York's best DJs: Spectral Sounds' main man in NYC, Derek Plaslaiko, the Bunker's DJ Spinoza, and Brooklyn-based duo Wolf + Lamb. The friendly, easygoing crowd completes the picture of this bi-weekly Sunday celebration of great music and dancing. (MG)



MUSIC: Noir Rock
Elysian Fields

when: Sun 4.16 (7:30pm)
where: Joe's Pub (425 Lafayette St, 212.539.8778) map
price: $15
links: Event Info | Elysian Fields

No longer newbies on the downtown scene, Elysian Fields have evolved to a level of eclectic poise and assuredness without ruining the volatile recipe within: a noirish blend of spilled wine and broken dreams, shooting stars and furtive glances — and that debauched feeling of loss accompanying the end of all tomorrow's parties. At the group's center is lead singer Jennifer Charles, whose seductive, smoke-filled phrasing places the vocals squarely in Mazzy Star territory, while piano and strings, paired with splashes of percussion and guitar, take the music both to more intimate and urgent chambers. Thank co-leader Oren Bloedow for that. His arrangements breathe deeply, with a taut appreciation for mood and structure, fusing the sensual with the sonic. (DI)

Note: Elysian side project Doveman play Tonic on Fri 4.14 (8pm).

  Which crime-lit writer was the inspiration for Elysian Fields' "Hearts Are Open Graves"? The fourth correct response wins a pair of tickets to this show.



MUSIC: Houston Screw
Lil' Flip w/ Chamillionaire

when: Sun 4.16 (9pm)
where: B.B. King Blues Club & Grill (237 W 42nd St, 212.997.4144) map
price: $22 / $20 advance
links: Event Info | Lil' Flip | Chamillionaire

With New York hip-hop yet to climb out of its "just another region" status, Houston makes a strong bid for supremacy tonight. Lil' Flip's cred stems from his membership in the legendary Screwed Up Click, and while his non-mixtape material hasn't quite been strong enough to back his King of the South claim (if you're keeping score, T.I.'s still got the edge in the ATL), count on Flip to play to his strengths at B.B.'s; he can flow his fun, ign'ant-ass rhymes for days. The evening's true highlight, Chamillionaire, has a refreshing knack for largely gangsta-free witticisms, and his resonant, buttery voice translates into Nate Dogg-deep hooks. (JL)

READING
New York Progressive Reading Series

when: Mon 4.17 (8pm)
where: Galapagos Art Space (70 N 6th St, Wburg, 718.782.5188) map
price: $10-20 sliding scale
links: Event Info

Ever since Ginsberg told America: "Go fuck yourself with your atom bomb," passionate political poets have been a mainstay of NYC's literary world. Fittingly, Williamsburg's Galapagos is the scene for a new monthly series of progressive readings, hosted by Stephen Elliott. Anthony Swofford, whose novel Jarhead spawned the celebrated Gulf War film, and David Rees, whose brutally honest comic Get Your War On has inevitably sparked controversy, join Jonathan Ames, Adrienne Miller, Paul LaFarge, and Janice Erlbaum to make a stand. With all proceeds going towards the Fighting Dems and hours of innovative political thought, the only thing that could make it any more of a progressive's dream would be a Dylan/Lennon duet. (CA)

ART
Tara Donovan: New Work

when: Now through Sat 4.22 (Tue-Sat: 10am-6pm)
where: PaceWildenstein (545 W 22nd St, 212.989.4258) map
price:
links: Event Info

Tara Donovan's installations, which incorporate mass-manufactured materials, grow from an organic process of accumulation, taking on almost living qualities. In the past, the artist has worked with straws, fishing wire, and pencils; at Pace Wildenstein's expansive 22nd St space, her latest work uses the common plastic cup, transforming the gallery floor into a translucent topographical surface, as stacks of cups rise to form hillocks or dip into valleys. This undulating mass has a hallucinogenic effect, recalling the meditative multiplicity of Buddhist temple sculpture or the sheer volume of industry and terrain, as captured by photographers such as Andreas Gursky. Once again, Donovan proves her talent for converting disposable objects into lasting statements about consumer culture. (AM)



MULTIMEDIA
Nikki S. Lee: In Production

when: Now through Sat 5.6 (Mon-Fri: 10am-6pm)
where: LT | Shoreham Gallery (33 W 55th St, 212.255.8450) map
price:
links: Event Info

Inaugurating Leslie Tonkonow's extension gallery, shape-shifting cultural sampler Nikki S. Lee mounts In Production — which offers stills from her forthcoming documentary AKA Nikki S. Lee. Mounted in light boxes, these snapshot-sized pictures suggest an alternate title for the project: The Fabulous Life of Nikki S. Lee. Donning one lovely dress after another — even shopping for them in one instance — jet-setting to cosmopolitan cities, or surrounded by fancy company, Lee performs herself as much as the alternate personas that are her trademark. À la Cindy Sherman, she shifts the role of infiltrating interloper from her own performing body to the surveying camera. The result not only depicts Lee making her work, but the business of art itself. (GKH)



PHOTOGRAPHY
Saul Fletcher: Nocturama

when: Now through Sat 5.6 (Tue-Sat: 10am-6pm)
where: Anton Kern Gallery (532 W 20th St, 212.367.9663) map
price:
links: Event Info

A former dockhand and farm worker in England, Saul Fletcher applies an emotionally raw vision to his current body of work, mixing photography, painting, and sculpture. Reinterpreting religious and historical references through idiosyncratic images such as a sea captain or a cross, this series focuses on large-format photographs of paintings Fletcher made directly on his studio wall. Printed on an intimate scale, the otherworldly results inhabit an elusive pictorial existence that seesaws between the painted brushwork's gestures and the photographic negatives' transformations. Cryptic installations with birds nests and knives, along with paintings on canvas, round out ties to abstract expressionism and Joseph Beuys-styled shamanic practice, resulting in a forceful melding of hermetic, art brut energy. (CEK)

This year's World Voices festival boldly meets current events head-on with the theme Faith and Reason. A staggering collection of scribes from across the globe is again in town to read and meet for panels on everything from revolution, HIV, and Ginsberg's Howl to translation, exile, gender, and mixed-media work. A keynote on freedom from novelist Orhan Pamuk — who narrowly avoided prison in a recent Turkish censorship trial — begins things on a warning note. With a virtual who's-who of world letters popping up all around town, this is the largest literary gathering in the US. As anyone who tried to take in the fantastic but far-flung offerings at last year's fest can tell you, there are more than you can possibly attend — so plan wisely. (TW)

  SHARING IS CARING: MP3 Aggregators  

Certain file-sharing programs have been co-opted by the corporate music industry, but ingenious trends in online-music sharing continue to emerge — helping you to stay one step ahead of those persnickety pop-up ads. The latest, MP3 aggregators like Hype Machine and Elbo.ws, are databases for the best tunes posted on popular music blogs. You'll find a healthy mix of rare songs by popular artists like Arctic Monkeys and Band of Horses, unreleased tracks by lesser-knowns like the Robot Ate Me, and the occasional oddity like "Up on the Roof" by Les Claypool's Frog Brigade.

  CD REVIEW: Parts & Labor, Stay Afraid  

Jagjaguwar
Released April 2006
$13.98 (Amazon)

Somewhere between constant gigging and staging balls-to-the-speaker-cone noise workouts with Tyondai Braxton, NYC trio Parts & Labor started thinking like a classic-rock band. Stay Afraid gives noise pop a good name: ear-splattering dissonance and Lightning Bolt-approved drums meet sweet melody and simple, anthemic rock songs. The result is both physically painful and as catchy as Zep's "Over the Hills and Far Away," but without the acoustic guitar or witchcraft. Parts & Labor's sludgy power springs from bearded frontman B.J. Warshaw's fuzz bass (no guitars allowed) and an intimidating array of electronic gewgaws, which provide the ringing, feedbacking, disarmingly pretty melody on "Drastic Measures." The album really doesn't get better than "Great Divide" though — broken synths imitate bagpipes, drums imitate machine guns, and Warshaw yowls like Rob Pollard in a hailstorm. (TG)


 


  STREAMS: Flavorpill Radio on Heavy.com  

Flavorpill Radio returns with a new batch of essential audio goodness on Heavy.com, featuring loads of brand new and unreleased tracks. We've got pop of every stripe, from the Fiery Furnaces' wistful '50s lament and Islands' calypso-tinged twee balladeering to a gently galloping acoustic ditty from Page France. The Boom Boom Satellites light up Madchester by way of Japan, the Ladies meld sugary melodies with percussive frenzy, and Band of Horses float on with reverb-drenched indie pop. Things turn dark and moody with the Black Heart Procession, a Portishead cover of Serge Gainsbourg, and the Gossip's rip-snorting blues rock. Of course, you won't go wanting for beats, with a DJ Shadow banger, Diplo's Yeah Yeah Yeahs remix, Ghostface's relentlessly funky "Be Easy," and smatterings of UK grime, glitchy sampledelia, and electro-house. And, in addition to this infusion of newly discovered tunes, all of our previous Heavy.com radio selections are still in the mix, making for hours of Flavorpill-approved listening enjoyment.
