Cultural Stimuli in NYC
Issue 325: astonishing flavor
People always get a little antsy and unpredictable as the seasons shift, and the culture on tap this week reflects the instability in the air. The Motherf*cker party people beckon seminal psychobilly sickos the Cramps to headline their Labor Day Fiasco, while Japan's best avant-rockers melt minds with a one-night festival of freak-out fusion. Dada on Film's sanity-skewing shorts from the '20s demonstrate just how far out that emerging medium could be. And throughout September, the loveable Circus Amok descend on area parks with Citizen Ship, a vaudevillian venture that engages the contentious topic of US immigration policy, while other grease-painted posses perform at the Brick Theater for the New York Clown Theatre Festival. Plus, the Guggenheim's First Fridays parties — featuring music curated by Flavorpill — relaunch for fall with an appearance by DJ Miles Maeda. Ready your goggle-eyed look, and spread it.

Goth-inspired artist Banks Violette invites several peers to create a series of
site-specific installations for War on 45 / My Mirrors are Painted Black (For You).
Violette and Gardar Eide Einarsson's collaboration — a black, diamond-shaped canvas in
homage to the late Steven Parrino — confronts visitors at the entrance, while
Philippe Decrauzat's bat-like decals and circular ink drawings dominate the back walls.
Terence Koh insults the purity of modernist painting by puncturing, burning, and urinating
on a massive black canvas, and Herwig Weiser strays from the show's stark monochrome
palette in Death to Disko, a suspended red tube of LEDs mysteriously emitting noises
that resonate throughout the gallery, giving the show an austere, creepy finish. (JWG)

New York's ever-expanding gallery scene has increasingly trained the art world's focus on art schools and MFA programs producing exciting new talent. London, which has
established itself as a European art capital, is experiencing a similar trend, feeding
off residual hype from the Young British Artists of the late-1980s. This survey offers transatlantic perspective on rising prospects from Goldsmiths, one of England's premier art schools. The artists
included reflect the diversity of London's scene: Robb Jamieson parodies artists with
rock-star ambitions; Jeanine Woollard explores the social resonance of an
aristocratic sport — fencing — and Yuko Kamei's films investigate the
complexities of "foreignness" in the 21st century. (AM)
Note: Live performances are scheduled for Wed 8.30 (6-8pm) featuring Robb Jamieson, sonic
seamstress Dr. Polly Fibre, and noise ensemble ORTHO. An opening reception is scheduled
for Thur 9.7 (6-8pm).

New York Korean Film Festival
|
|
While Hollywood's abundant remakes of Hong Kong cop dramas and J-horror flicks attest to the growing popularity of Asian film, Korean movies have only recently caught the western world's attention. Skipping most of the gunslinging blockbusters, the New York Korean Film Festival lines up
14 contemporary features at the ImaginAsian, Anthology Film Archives, and BAM Rose Cinemas through Labor Day. This year features four distinctive black-and-white motion pictures from lost auteur Lee Man-hee, whose overarching political ideology and sublime cinematography left an indelible mark on Korean filmmaking. Other top picks include Forbidden Quest, an adaptation of erotic period novel Heukgokbisa; This Charming Girl, a ponderous story of a woman trapped in her loneliness; and the highly anticipated anime sequel, Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles. (IB)
 What was the name of Korea's first color film? The third correct response wins a pair of tickets to The Water Mill on Wed 8.30 (6:50pm).

Bound Stems w/ Supersystem
|
|
Centered around Dischord experimental rock unit El Guapo, Supersystem kept arty dance rock vital with last year's Always Never Again, melding propulsive rhythms, exotic melodies, electro-bleeps, and shouted chants. The quartet's new album, A Million Microphones, tones down the sugar-rush factor without sacrificing exploration or vibrancy. Tonight, the group's shit-hot live show supports Chicago's like-minded Bound Stems, who cover most of the indie-rock bases — slow, quirky numbers, screamy rave-ups, electronics-enabled sound design, and pseudo-twang vox are all present — and cover 'em well. (JL)
Take Bound Stems' first album title and tell us just what is "the logic of building the body plan." The most elucidating response in 50 words or less wins a pair of tickets to this show.

Ellen Allien & Apparat: Orchestra of Bubbles w/ Bill Patrick, Cowboy Mark, and Alex English
|
|
This spring, Berlin techno maven Ellen Allien and Shitkatapult pillar Apparat
collaborated on the epic Orchestra of Bubbles, a stunning electronic album that
proved a greater whole than the sum of Allien and Apparat's unique solo sensibilities.
Orchestra is a synergistic nebula of ominous strings, turbo-charged synths,
precision-guided beats, heartbreaking melodies, and mutated vocals that dances to
trance's post-millennial implosion. Tonight, the duo graces Hiro for a storming, live
rendition of this masterpiece. Local scene-stimulators Bill Patrick and Cowboy Mark open with back-to-back DJ sets of driving techno and edgy house. (JJ)

As the solo violin and vocals act Final Fantasy, Owen Pallett (string arranger for the Hidden Cameras and the Arcade Fire) bowed, plucked, and cooed his way into a promising debut, Has a Good Home. The potential of the project was most fully realized this summer with his simply stunning sophomore album, He Poos Clouds. Despite the playful title, this collection of delicate gems is one of this year's most heartbreaking albums. Pallett's strings conjure some of the brooding mood he supplied to Funeral, while his vulnerable lyrics recall his idols Xiu Xiu. These breathy songs contain many tantalizing and opaque characters and are allegedly packed with Dungeons & Dragons metaphors — but we wouldn't know anything about that. (TW)
What are the three main musical influences that Owen Pallett claims are behind He Poos Clouds? The fifth correct response wins a pair of tickets to this show.

| FILM |
This Film Is Not Yet Rated
|
|
Nothing seems less punk rock — and more abjectly self-referential — than the movie industry crying unfair about its own rating system. But the always avant-garde Kirby Dick makes a fair case here about why the MPAA board's wild secrecy and biases are not only irrational but downright corrupt — and corrupting. Through interviews with such filmmakers as Kevin Smith, Matt Stone, Kimberly Peirce, and John Waters (who proves characteristically, devastatingly wry), and such Michael Moore doc standards as animation and director-as-gumshoe protagonist, Dick lays out, reel by reel, how those pesky ratings reinforce the very corporate and social structures that the films themselves often seek to topple. (LR)

| FILM |
Mutual Appreciation
|
|
In an era in which indie film is an increasingly theoretical category, director Andrew
Bujalski is shaping up as a micro-budget auteur in the tradition of early John Sayles via
John Cassavetes. His first feature, the sleeper Funny Ha Ha (2002), captured
through a grainy, sun-dappled lens college grads who, more intellectually than
emotionally developed, struggle to sort out what, if anything, they desire. Mutual
Appreciation, his second feature, resumes where he left off with no sign of an
aesthetic or thematic slump: shot in a black and white that lends Williamsburg a
Berlin-like glamour, a ragtag group of young artists and professionals grapple with the
mortifying pleasures of not only desire but ambition. (LR)
As a kid, Bujalski's mother took him out of school to see which movie? The first three correct responses each win a pair of tickets to Mutual Appreciation.

To the windmill averse, a freestyle dance party may sound intimidating, but while skills will be on display tonight at the massive Brooklyn Lyceum,
Dancers 4 Dancers keeps the vibe inclusive. Chicago's DJ
FLX (pronounced "Felix"), in an area debut, kicks eclectic but house-heavy styles, and DJ
Sabine spins sounds of the African Diaspora, from roots to Afrotech. Vocalist Wunmi fronts
a 13-piece band (think an African Polyphonic Spree), launching rhythms spanning London to
Lagos. Even if your dance move repertoire consists solely of the shoe-staring,
weight-shifting shuffle, as long as you do it passionately, there's room on this floor. (JDS)

The Guggenheim and Flavorpill present First Fridays feat. Miles Maeda and DJ Three

While the rest of New York soaks up the last dregs of summer, get a jump-start on
fall with the return of the Guggenheim's monthly DJ-driven series, First Fridays, with music curated by Flavorpill. Chicago
house guru Miles Maeda and techno aficionado DJ Three are the first deckmen
handpicked to send a party vibe resonating through Frank Lloyd Wright's winding marvel.
Architect Zaha Hadid's 30-year retrospective of angular relief models, color-saturated
renderings, furniture, and panoramic pictures of her superstructures spiral up the
museum's rotunda, leaving a wide berth for partygoers to sip cocktails and shimmy across
the dance floor, or take in the spectacle of revelers from the top, down. (IB)

Without a doubt, Carl Craig is the Detroit innovator staying closest to the evolution of
electronic music-making since techno's inception. His present-day relevance comes in many
forms; as Tres Demented (with "Demented" and "Shez Satan"), or as a remixer (of Delia
Gonzalez and Gavin Russom's "Revelee" or Theo Parrish's "Falling Up"). At this year's
Movement festival at home in Motor City, Craig abstained from a main-stage headlining slot
to play in understated bliss through the afternoon, flanked onstage by his dancing family.
Hope that he brings the same attitude to P.S.1's closing ceremony, as he's joined by local
impresario Gamall and Berlin's brilliant digidub pioneers Rhythm & Sound. (NP)

Japanese New Music Festival feat. Acid Mothers Temple SWR and Ruins Alone w/ Zubi Zuba X and Zoffy
|

Yoshida Tatsuya has spent two decades drumming for the now-solo thrash/prog outfit Ruins,
while Kawabata Makoto has spent one fronting the occulto-drone collective Acid Mothers
Temple. Tonight, the two masters of freak-out fusion, along with longtime AMT
multi-instrumentalist Tsuyama Atsushi, play a game of avant-garde musical chairs, forming
and re-forming into seven different bands, each showcasing a different musical idea: Zoffy
(Tsuyama and Kawabata) shove classic rock and traditional European music through a cubist
meat grinder, while Zubi Zuba X (Yoshida, Tsuyama, and Kawabata) approximate Tom Araya
and H.R. doing polyrhythmic a cappella renditions of Gregorian chants and doo-wop tunes.
Expect to be thoroughly baffled, giddy, and deaf by night's end. (GM)

— never mind the extraordinary, eclectic lineup. Spank Rock draw the kids with
sweat-drenched booty-bass and frenetic party rhymes. For those in tight jeans there's Shy
Child, whose danceable electro-pop grooves may trick the hip-hop heads into nodding. The
Rub DJs keep everyone steadily shaking asses with rap classics and rock mash-ups. Gang
Gang Dance, the day's odd ducks, offer the least immediately accessible music of today's
performers with their dubby post-rock. Then again, with the mix of Pool Party people,
someone will get it. (JRC)

Supplementing MoMA's blockbuster Dada exhibition, which presents a mind-blowing
array of artworks, documentation, and ephemera from what is perhaps the 20th century's most
controversial avant-garde movement, Dada on Film addresses how artists in the 1920s
became film-technology innovators long before the Sony Portapak brought Nam June Paik — and
the new medium of video art — to the world's attention. René Clair's Entr'acte embodies the Dada
filmmakers' collaborative spirit, featuring cameos by Francis Picabia, Marcel Duchamp, Erik
Satie, and Man Ray. Hans Richter's Rhythmus series helped to pioneer
abstract film, depicting animated compositions out of geometric shapes, and Fernand Léger's
Ballet mécanique is a chaotic cut-up of fleeting everyday imagery. (AM)

Contemporary-art godfather Bruce Nauman receives a mini-tribute at
Zwirner & Wirth that could be subtitled the School of Nauman. Six works by the master accompany pieces from 19 of his contemporaries and acolytes. A pioneer of video
art and performative sculpture, Nauman is also well known for his light pieces comprised
of flashing neon signs — two of which, Suite Substitute (1968) and
Eat/Death (1972), are on view. Performative works from Charles Ray, Mike Kelley,
and Paul McCarthy, Californian artists of the same generation, display a kindred
anti-authoritarian humor. Younger artists riff on Nauman's oeuvre; Francesco Vezzoli
restages Nauman's video Bouncing Balls (1969) with a porn star atop a mountain. (HGM)

Studio in the Park, sponsored by BravinLee Programs, installs 11 artists'
work in beautiful Riverside Park, where you can still find what remains of their efforts after a
summer in the elements. Orly Genger's Puzzlejuice, an enormous, brightly colored
mass crocheted from rock climbers' nylon rope, carpets a pile of boulders at the flagpole
near the southern entrance. Fabian Marcaccio's ambitious painted structure, The
Fall, transforms a tunnel into a sticky pop mess. Robert Greenberg's driftwood mobiles
are atmospheric, but the anonymous sculptures along the water do him one better. Elana
Herzog's Untitled (The Grates) recalls Christo and Jeanne Claude's Central Park
project, but her pink wire forms, emerging from ventilation grates, are quiet spectacles.

CD REVIEW: Carla Bozulich, Evangelista |
|
|
Constellation
Released June 2006
$13.99 (Insound)
|
Carla Bozulich's Evangelista deconstructs country the way crooner-gone-crazy Scott Walker pulverizes pop — scraping away the skin until all that's left are the bones of the deeply embittered. While the singer's past solo projects added the occasional off-kilter edge to classic country, Evangelista falls into an industrial abyss. Like Neko Case in goth guise, or the strange spawn of Tanya Tucker and Diamanda Galás, Bozulich's wavering vocals are at once striking and fragile, sharp and sincere. On dark, swooping ballads like "Evangelista I" and "Baby, That's the Creeps," her fractured, aching voice seeps quietly down the river, tumbling in and out of dark waters. Eventually the beauty is burned up in swells of static and bald, brazen electronics, but in its more majestic moments, the record reminds us that there's much to be said for the melody of mourning.
