Cultural Stimuli in NYC Issue 311: unnatural flavor
Summer is heating up, and Al Gore has something to say about it in his harrowing new doc about global warming, An Inconvenient Truth. But he's not the only one in the kitchen: this week brings all things hot, gruesome, and unnatural, starting with death metal and tech-grind from Necrophagist and Cattle Decapitation. The Ontological-Hysteric Incubator helps us laugh at death with its theatrical comedy Q&Y, artist Josiah McElheny makes a Big Bang with glass, and Steve Coleman and Five Elements do the same with sax 'n drums. Meanwhile, Modeselektor's mutant techno and Dandy Jack's live/DJ hybrid give electronic music's evolution a swift kick in the pants. Films take a hard line on the natural order, too, as La Moustache makes an existential mountain out of upper-lip growth and Cavite digs into the dark side of agritourism. Re-introduce yourself to the world, and spread it...

With Snap Judgments,
curator Okwui Enwezor proposes a dramatic shift toward a more thorough and articulate examination of contemporary African identification, attitudes, and trends. Many of the works on display, such as Yto
Barrada's The Strait Project, a wistful look at life on the border
between Europe and Africa, represent a purposeful changeover to the use of
cameras as tools of artistic representation. Michael Tsegaye considers
psychological attitudes through portraiture, while Mohamed Camara and Guy Tillim round out the exhibition by highlighting the surreal in contemporary cityscapes and home life. (JG)
Note: The ICP stays open until 8pm on Fridays.

Cerebral cream pie thrower Sara Greenberger Rafferty and limnal portraitist
Matt Keegan bring their artist interviews and multiple-project North
Drive Press out of the box with an inquiring evening on screen and
stage. Video interviews featuring artists such as spooky sleepover sculptor
Ian Cooper and fabric fetishist Michael Mahalchick intermix with video and
sound works from middle America spiritualist Ronnie Bass and nostalgia

Other Music presents Modeselektor
|
|
Modeselektor's Hello Mom! is one of the best releases yet on Ellen Allien's increasingly dominant BPitch Control label — and it's not even proper techno. The Berlin-based duo packed its debut LP to the gills with impish synthetic mischief that does for electronic music fans what the Go! Team does for the indie massive: provide a shameless sugar-rush of dizzying, look-no-hands genre hops. Whether cutting euro-crunk anthems with Cuizinier, unleashing mind-melting ghettotech bounce, or dropping faux-dancehall burners, Modeselektor refuse to be pinned down — much less sit still. (TW)

La Moustache
|
|
Marc and his wife Agnès (the inimitable Emmanuelle Devos) are the ideal
Parisian couple: clever, cosmopolitan, and just neurotic enough to keep
dinner parties interesting, at least until Marc shaves off the moustache he's
sported his entire adult life and no one, not even Agnès, notices. Then, he
catapults into a tizzy of alienation — is he going mad or the victim
of a conspiracy? — and his wife, wide-eyed and subversive, proves to
be no help at all. With a wonderful insidiousness, La Moustache
director/writer Emmanuel Carrère mines the psychological-thriller genre
to tackle that classically French topic: the existentialist limitations of
romantic love. (LR)
Which personal physical attribute is integral to your identity, and what would you do if you suddenly lost it? Our five favorite responses each win a pair of
tickets to any La Moustache screening between Monday and Thursday.

Laurie Simmons: The Music of Regret
|
|
A key figure in contemporary photography, Laurie Simmons is known as one
of the first to shoot complex staged narratives. The artist's first film,
The Music of Regret, premieres at MoMA this week, and builds off
three bodies of work she has developed over 35 years. Vintage hand puppets,
ventriloquist dummies, and female figures costumed in objects are,
respectively, the subjects of each distinctive phase and of corresponding
acts in the film. The Green Tie, a suburban tale as told by puppets, is followed
by ventriloquist dummies who sing about love and loss in The Music of
Regret. Deriving from both '50s imagery and surrealist cinema, The
Audition brilliantly casts absurd creatures made of objects and legs in
a dance revue. (PJ)
Note: There is an additional screening Mon 5.29 (1pm).
What is believed to be the original purpose of ventriloquism?
The second correct response wins a pair of tickets to one of tonight's
screenings.

Lynne Sachs and Mark Street: The XY Chromosome Moving Image Project
|
|
Local Brooklyn filmmakers Lynne Sachs and Mark Street engage in visual
dialogue tonight across Monkey Town's four screens, using the venue's
Cartesian symmetry to explore the spaces between abstraction and
representation. Street's inexhaustibly tactile film is shown on two screens,
in which handpainted found footage and camera-less handmade films reveal
themselves like luminous palimpsests before the eyes. Sachs responds in turn
with theatrical, microcosmic worlds where the everyday is defamiliarized and
hundreds of represented objects — toys, hands, a cherry pie, a
miniature Empire State Building — resonate and tremble in the presence
of each other and the opposing projections. (BB)
Note: Reservations are strongly recommended.

Event Info |
|
|
Deborah Hay, choreographer and matriarch of modern
dance, demands that her
dancers situate themselves in this surreal world
through an intense,
three-month regimen of isolated daily practice.
Adaptations,
organized by downtown dancer Layard Thompson, presents
the fruits of this
self-exploration as five dancers each perform personal
interpretations of
Hay's pieces. Room is a particularly striking
example, in which
Thompson's aggressive style both opposes and
compliments the fuller, softer
approach of fellow Adaptationser Lise Serrell.
In keeping with the
interpretive theme, Hay is not performing tonight.

Robots presents Dandy Jack and the Junction SM w/ Sonja Moonear and Sammy Dee
|
|
In contrast to the more restrained and cerebral
compositions of Chilean-born
Martin Schopf's countrymen Ricardo Villalobos and
Luciano, Schopf, as Dandy
Jack, adds a playful, funkier twist to the proven
combination of minimal
techno and Latin-inspired polyrhythms. Live, Dandy Jack
manipulates a
palette of vocal blips, crisp, jumpy percussion, and
the occasional vibrant
melody over shifting, blurry textures and tones. DJ
Sonja Moonear joins him
as the Junction SM, offering limitless possibilities as
a live/DJ combo. The
duo combine vinyl with on-the-fly edits, warping both
pre-existing tracks
and Schopf's own sounds, allowing for jaw dropping
improvisation on one of the
city's finest sound systems. (CJN)
Note: Perlon's Sammy Dee takes a rest from his Pantytec
partner Zip (who DJs

Consider this macrobudget action movie spiked with a

his mother and sister
have been kidnapped, and that he must obey the
anonymous caller's mandates
if they are to survive. All jump-cuts and handheld

spirals along with Adam as he races deeper into his
native country and the
painful recognition of what is lost when a land and its
children grow
westernized. (LR)

(who performs solo on Thursday, May 25th), Zip, the owner of tastemaking Berlin
minimal house/techno imprint Perlon, stops en route to DEMF and Mutek to man
the decks at one of the city's true bastions of underground electronic
music. Joining him is noted experimentalist Jan Jelinek — best known
for his highly influential Loop-finding-jazz-records album —
who translates his latest work Kosmischer Pitch from a largely
laptop-assembled composition of subtle, micro-glitched tones and
Krautrockian samples into a live, semi-improvised performance complete with

Prolific, perennially underappreciated singer/songwriter Howe Gelb has been tweaking his formula lately, appropriating elements of spiritual music and recasting them in surprising ways. On 'Sno Angel Like You, the former Giant Sand leader adorns his dry, husky country ballads with a gospel choir. Songs like the spare opener "Get to Leave" see Gelb muttering over desolate folk instrumentation, with the Voices of Praise Gospel Choir humming softly. Rarely does the album explode into full-on hands-raised Hallelujah mode, instead relying on Gelb's close-mic'd baritone and the gentle coos of his accompanying chorus to make its mark. (TG)

Soul Position

With so many high-profile MC/producer collaborations happening these days, it sometimes seems like underground hip-hop stars are trading partners like Wilt Chamberlain between road games. Luckily, Soul Position — the duo of Ohio rapper Blueprint and acclaimed beatsmith Rjd2 — are interested in a longer-lasting relationship. On their debut, 8 Million Stories, and their new disc, Things Go Better with RJ & Al, the two synch their efforts seamlessly. Blueprint (né Albert Shepard) skips from topic to topic, staying anchored with quirky but straightforward rhymes and a bold delivery, while Rj lays down his reliably badass beats. (PS)

In honor of Asian Contemporary Art Week, Monkey Town hosts Siamese Cinema, a night of experimental film by Lili Chin, Angie Eng, Koosil-ja Hwang, and Masako Miyazaki. The commonality of approach lies primarily in their interest in collage and curation, as each artist presenting collects and samples film. A live performance in the main lounge finds Eng responding to Hwang's vocal abstractions with Burmese and Thai calligraphy. Chin, a Voom/LAB coordinator, presents HD shorts from the streets of China, while Miyazaki provides dactylic montages of avant-garde filmmaking. All four artists however, attest to the vibrancy of the voices of Asian women artists. (PJ)

Necrophagist w/ Cattle Decapitation, Arsis, and Neuraxis
|
|
Prog rock was eviscerated by punk in the '70s, but now
its festering, undead
corpse is back for your brains. Necrophagist's
unmatched brutality and
vomitous vocals align them with the legions of death
metal, but they owe
more to King Crimson than King Diamond in their complex
song structures and
inhumanly technical musicianship. Neuraxis use their
metallic arsenal with
enough devastating precision to make fellow
French-Canadians Cryptopsy
proud, while San Diego's Cattle Decapitation have shed
the organic,
gore-drenched sickness of their early days in favor of
more mechanical and
menacing tech-grind — don't worry, vocalist
Travis Ryan is still as
likely as ever to spray the front row with phlegm. (GM)

his biggest musical influence? The fourth and fifth correct

Continuing his artistic study of modernity and its legacy, Josiah McElheny
celebrates his first exhibition at Andrea Rosen with a big bang: An End
to Modernity. This collaboration with Ohio State University cosmology
professor David Weinberg looks like a massive chandelier but it is in fact
an accurate representation of the birth of the universe. Made of glass and
chrome, it hangs ponderously above the floor, radiating reflective energy.
Two accompanying sculptural installations incorporating the same materials
attempt to realize an environment without shadows. Consisting of reflective
objects placed in reflective environments, these esoteric projects, based on
an apocryphal conversation between Modernist greats Buckminster Fuller and
Isamu Noguchi, offer an absurd vision of endless infinity and the utopian
imagination. (AM)

An Inconvenient Truth
|

Featuring a once-defeated Al Gore with his boxing gloves back on, An
Inconvenient Truth aims to raise awareness of Gore's fight against the
"climate crisis." Since his fall from grace in 2000, Gore has been circling
the planet with a potent PowerPoint presentation, warning that unless
changes are made, we could be toast in only ten years time. Essentially a
cinematic version of the presentation — with the occasional sidebar
ferreting out Gore's motivations — the film's lesson makes it a
must-see, but witnessing the man who was a hair away from the presidency
toting around his own luggage is a bonus. (MB)

CD REVIEW: Jolie Holland, Springtime Can Kill You |
 |
|
Anti
Released May 2006
$14.99 (Insound)
|
More moonshine than sunshine, Jolie Holland's second studio album, Springtime Can Kill You comes on like a slow-burning crush, full of low-lidded passion, and a little bit crazy. The release marks the first time Holland, a self-taught musician, has written songs with a full band in mind, and the result — a unique brand of cobwebbed and cracked Americana — is more cohesive and significantly richer than her acclaimed debut, Escondida. Holland's quavering blueswoman's voice conjures up visions of hectic love, rash justice, wrecked hearts, and restless ghosts. Like a come-hither look from a cad, the lyrics carry a tension between beauty and danger as when she sings in "Stubborn Beast": "I might resist you when you try to save my life/ Why don't you take me when I'm willing?" Holland's onto something with this spring sleeper, so don't resist. (JKG)

STREAMS: Flavorpill Radio on Heavy.com |
 |

Flavorpill broadcasts the best new and unreleased music every month on Heavy.com. The close of May brings new hyperbole-hoarding indie like Beirut's gypsy crooning, and elaborately composed weirdness from Sunset Rubdown. The harmony-happy Futureheads, Aussie Zep-style rawkers Wolfmother, and Jack White's Raconteurs deliver the assertive riffage, while Jolie Holland (see above) and Boards of Canada provide breathers in the action with low-key, wonderfully weathered sonics. Delving into more circuit-heavy pop territory is Dntel, with a dark remix of Mia Doi Todd, plus Psapp proffering their savvy toy-box tweaks. Beat-wise, Diplo discoveries Bonde do Role drop a carioca doo-wah-ditty, and Justice deftly punk a Franz Ferdinand track. Hip-hop gets representation courtesy of the Coup, kicking Cali commie funk, and Jay Dee (RIP), blessing a woozy clap track from Dabrye.
With selections from prior installments of Flavorpill Radio lurking deeper in the mix, it's a veritable Best of '06 in the making. (JL)
