Cultural Stimuli in NYC
Issue 332: scandalous flavor
Straight-laced types often look on our great metropolis as being rife with unholy vice and corruption — and we have to say New York makes a good case for that perspective this week. Lisa Yuskavage's paintings employ the exaggerated erotic forms of pagan totems; Violet Fire: A Multimedia Opera pays tribute to Nikola Tesla, who harnesses natural forces for the dominion of science; Infamous upstages last year's hit film (Capote) in its depiction of Truman Capote's fascination and affection for a murderer; Eugene Mirman, comedic scourge of the righteous, stomps into the Slope; a hilarious and terrifying den of sin is animated in Les Freres Corbusier's Hell House; Deicide and Nachtmystium tear through virtuosic, epic metal; and the ultimate crowd-participation event for undead antics awaits with Zombiecon. To freshen up after all this iniquity, we recommend a good old-fashioned fire and brimstone sermon, courtesy of Herman Melville. Keep it clean, and spread it.

DJ Shadow w/ Lateef the Truthspeaker
|
|
No way around it: DJ Shadow's recent album The Outsider was disappointing to most. The amped-up, hyphy-crunk front end was exuberant but its seeming simplicity meshed poorly with the overbaked and often listless genre studies that followed (including psych, folk, hip-pop, Morricone-lite, and a truly unfortunate faux-Coldplay number). But the merits of The Outsider should have no bearing on his concerts. Shadow's live DVDs are a testament to both his skills at manipulating a startling variety of sources, and to his inventiveness in recreating his own classic productions. The master of pacing has more than enough tricks up his hoodie to tour solo, but longtime friend and Quannum labelmate Lateef joins him tonight. (JL)

Lisa Yuskavage, along with artists such as John Currin and Catherine Howe, can be credited with reinventing figurative painting in the '90s. At a time when representational painting required the mediating
lens of photography — as in the work of Richard Phillips and Peter Cain — Yuskavage and her brethren adopted pre-modern painting and schlock illustration as their touchstones. Yuskavage paints nude and semi-nude women in absurdly pornographic boudoir scenarios, where the air is thick with pastel haziness and the figures' breasts and bellies swell with grotesque eroticism. Over the last few years, her characters have aged from adolescence to full, hyper-inflated womanhood. (ADT)

Phantom Captain: Art and Crowdsourcing
|
|
If YouTube was worth $1.65 billion to Google, then crowdsourcing — using steeply discounted content generated by an enthusiastic, creative public — has more than proved its viability as the next mega-hyped business model. Curator Andrea Glover reveals that artists' efforts in the genre have a welcome populist bent. Davy Rothbart created FOUND magazine in 2001 as an archive for the random photographs, shopping lists, and correspondences that are lost or discarded. LearningToLoveYouMore.com, a collaborative site run by Miranda July and Harrell Fletcher, posts simple instructions and culls the resulting submissions, as in Assignment #30: Take a picture of strangers holding hands. Swarmsketch.com allows users to contribute a line to a collaborative drawing and weigh in on others' contributions. (HGM)

Art Brut w/ the Spinto Band and Tokyo Police Club
|
|
Art Brut's balls-to-the-wall 2005 debut, Bang Bang Rock & Roll, bristles with the most quotable lyrics in punk since the Sex Pistols. In the boys-night-out narcissism of "Formed a Band," the drinking-
Hennessy-with-Morrissey daydreams of "Moving to LA," and the sweet-yet-perverted lust of "Brand New Girlfriend," frontgeezer Eddie Argos comes off like a wittier version of your best mate. Be sure to arrive early for Ontario's post-garage rockers Tokyo Police Club, who retrace Bloc Party's angular steps with sharp riffs and lyrics of technological disillusionment, keeping to the catchy, pop side of things. (JMS/LT)

Cheeky Bastard feat. Lansing-Dreiden w/ DJ Headman
|
|
In the slowly materializing myth of New York's Lansing-Dreiden (band? art collective? hipster hooligans?) the one thing that's certain is the immediate appeal of their music. L-D take the '70s and '80s seriously, folks, and approach both spacey prog and new wave synth-pop with a 21st-century pomp and circumstance. Beyond mere instant nostalgia, their layered, warming harmonies and throwback production flourishes signal damn good tunes. Tonight, they turn Cheeky Bastard's dial back at least a quarter century, and are joined by Gomma (see: Whomadewho) disco-remix master DJ Headman. (LT)

Though she's minimal techno's most formidable female, Magda has often been overshadowed by her more illustrious male counterparts. Protégé of Richie Hawtin, Magda's long been regarded as the cute, bob-haired chick performing warm-up duties on the decks for Berlin's big boys. But last summer, the Polish-born, Detroit-raised DJ emphatically stepped up her game, releasing the stellar She's a Dancing Machine, a snappy, 78-minute mix brimming with 70 disparate re-edits. Tonight, Magda makes a NYC homecoming — she ruled the roost at the now-defunct Openair bar back in '02 — and gets her very own warm-up woman, Brooklyn's Camea. (JJ)

A vibrant, 1,400-year-old Japanese tradition virtually unknown in the West, ehon are intricate collaborations between artists, poets, calligraphers, and bookmakers. The earliest examples on view date from the eighth century, a period when Japanese culture appropriated Chinese artistic and religious practices en masse. The technical, material, and thematic choices made by the artists and their production teams are highlighted alongside Buddhist sutras, drawings, and poems. Recent examples by artists in the MAVO group, Hiroshi Sugimoto, and Takashi Murakami, along with the ever-lovable Katsushika Hokusai's One Hundred Views of Mt. Fuji (1834) and Kitagawa Utamaro's famous Gifts of the Ebb Tide (1789), narrate the formation and evolution of Japan's distinctive culture. (HGM)

Infamous |
|
|
It is impossible to discuss Infamous without acknowledging the pint-sized elephant looming in the listing — that last year's accolade-laden Capote covers precisely the same ground. Granted, the story of how the effete, NYC-based author Truman Capote penetrated America's heartland to write In Cold Blood, the groundbreaking nonfiction novel about the murder of an entire Kansas family, fascinates enough to endure two retellings. But whereas Capote cast a remarkably dry eye on so witty a personage, Infamous boasts the same emotional depth without sacrificing the bon vivant's droll repartee and predilection for both social climbing and his murderous subject. Say it loud, say it proud: this film is infinitely preferable. (LR)

At the age of 29, in life-threatening conditions and with stolen equipment, obsession-obsessed Werner Herzog locked horns with madness master Klaus Kinski for this journey into the heart of South American darkness. Unseen enemies gradually slaughter the unwilling entourage of Kinski's conquistador, Don Lope de Aguirre, during his relentless, treasonous quest for the lost golden city of El Dorado. Returned to its startling glory with this newly restored original 35mm print, Aguirre, The Wrath of God (1972) astounds with a richly textured visual palette. As both narrative and filmmaking slow-focus to a feverish pitch, the silences become as earsplitting as Popul Vuh's soundtrack is krautrocktastic. (KW)

Eventually all cinephiles grasp the same reality: to truly embrace film, you must embrace the silents. And there exists no better opportunity than this weekend's program, studded with the highlights of Pordenone, arguably the world's most famous silent film festival. With recently rescued, rare footage of old newsreels and comic tidbits, and such Lillian Gish vehicles as Victor Sjöström's The Scarlet Letter (1926) and D.W. Griffith's Hearts of the World (1918), even those most resistant to the genre's deep charms will succumb to its wonderful geometry of contrasts, physical comedy, and unabashed emotional sincerity — especially as all films are accompanied by live scores.

Deicide frontman Glen Benton is having way more fun crushing souls than the inverted crucifix branded into his forehead would suggest. He's recruited Ralph Santolla (ex-Iced Earth) and Jack Owen (ex-Cannibal Corpse) to his legendary Floridian death-metal outfit to impart a more triumphant, power-metal vibe without tempering its pulverizing heaviness. Openers Nachtmystium — spearheads of the much-belated wave of American black metal — buoy their chaotic, Burzum-esque swirl of nihilism with surprisingly palatable blues solos and keyboard atmospherics. For these two bands alone, it's worth waiting through the overstuffed bill of mediocre "industrial" death metal and goregrind. (GM)

Out of the ashes of Slowdive, Mojave 3 continue in the ethereal space-pop tradition of their former band while adding a bit of high-desert twang. Contrary to their name, however, these guys are actually a quartet, and far from being desert rats, they hail from damp and rainy England. Their detailed arrangements, while evoking images of drier climes, at times also seem to rise foggily from the rolling countrysides of their homeland. With their latest album, Puzzles Like You, the band continues to evolve, raising the tempo and often going beyond the smoky whispers of their previous work. (KH)

Unlike Anni Albers, who designed abstract weaves at the Bauhaus but received scant recognition for her forays into pure abstraction, Rosemarie Trockel is well regarded for her devious, conceptual textiles. Trockel generates the abstract wool paintings using a computer and mounts them on stretchers with a heady, Teutonic severity. Her ceramic pieces are similar indictments of the male-dominated German art scene, upping the intellectual ante by fusing craft techniques with fine-art presentation. Trockel proposes the country life as a rejection of urbanism and its attendant sophistication and restriction. (HGM)

Halloween's a mere ten days away and the undead are rallying for NYC's second annual Zombiecon. Last year, the cavalcade of creepy cadavers shuffled past the posh shoppers on 5th Avenue and lurched into the ice rink at Rockefeller Center — this year, horror-heads interested in terrorizing tourists can email the organizers for the location and other top-secret updates of this year's faux-gore-fest. Decaying duds are a must and some local barkeeps deeply discount their, um, spirits to assuage the walking dead. Zombies always make time to eat squares who aren't cool enough to get dead and have already swarmed the cable cars and Apple Store in San Francisco. Good thing there's not a fancy new Apple Store in New York. Oh wait... (IB)

You don't have to be an American Lit major to enjoy Father Mapple's sermon — but it would probably help. From one of the true leviathans of the American canon (excuse the pun), chapter nine of Moby Dick finds Ishmael among a New Bedford congregation of sailors and their wives, listening with rapt attention to the trials of Jonah. Delivered with all the fire and foreboding you'd expect from a 19th-century, small-town minister, the sermon draws its excitement not only from a thundering examination of man and mystery (as related to the text, and beyond), but also from its delivery in colorful seaman's jargon. If you've ever seen Orson Welles' emphatic rendition, you know this is a live performance not to be missed. (LT)

Marlene Dumas
|
|
Awash in bleeding colors and melancholy, the figures in Marlene Dumas' paintings are ghostly apparitions rather than recognizable individuals. Often naked, the subjects bare their sexuality or cringe at their exposure, alternately suggesting prostitutes or abused prisoners. Dumas grew up in South Africa during the height of apartheid; her emotionally drenched paintings are often explained in this historical context, but her ambiguous portraits defy easy politicization. Her importance lies more in her reworking of expressionism. Now one of the most successful female contemporary artists, she appears at Cooper Union, where she currently teaches, to discuss the evolution of her iconic images. (BR)

Lucifer sublets St. Ann's Warehouse for the month of October, bringing with him a motley crew of godless sinners. Visitors are guided by a demon who gleefully displays wicked vignettes recalling plotlines of Laguna Beach. A largely authentic reproduction of the evangelical fright nights popularized by Jerry Falwell as one way to scare Jesus into people, Les Freres Corbusier's Hell House tries its best to shock jaded New Yorkers into embracing the life of the Lord by showing everything from a bloody aborted fetus to a gay man dying of AIDS. For a truly frightening experience, though, resist the urge to mock and put yourself in the shoes of an impressionable pre-teen growing up in red-state America. (KI)

The play-within-a-play concept is not a novel narrative form, but somehow, Dan O'Brien's specimen of the genre, The Voyage of the Carcass, feels fresh and unexpected. It helps that the play within this play is a brilliantly choreographed slapstick comedy, inspired by commedia dell'arte, and that the "reality" the actors intermittently revert to is a sober examination of relationships and art. Dan Fogler was born to play the role of the buffoonish explorer who sets off to the North Pole, only to be stuck in the ice for 40 years (with his fiancée disguised as a rector and a mute first mate). The plot barely matters once the physical comedy takes on its own triumphant expedition. (SP)

The original pieces on display here, freed from the shackles of early reproduction processes, show the incredible skill of the early comics pioneers.

CD REVIEW: Coughs, Secret Passage |
|
|
Load Records
Released September 2006
$13.99 (Amazon)
|
Unconcerned by their obvious lack of likeability, Coughs
dig deep into the dark din of New York-style no wave,
unearthing the anti-aesthetic of original-era acts like
Mars and Teenage Jesus & the Jerks. While neo-no wavers
like Liars and Erase Errata are content to cop the scene's
swagger, Coughs' Secret Passage seizes the
painfully shrill sound at its center. A lovable Lydia
Lunch-alike, Anya Davidson doesn't sing as much as
screech, airing atonal yelps amid overloaded guitars,
squelching saxes, and the slow hammering of oil drums.
Songs like "Happy Harvest" and "Life of Acne" are
aggressive exercises in aesthetic deprivation,
uncompromising journeys into the belly of some fat,
belching beast. Like the bruising therapy Gua Sha, the
record's cleansing effect is derived from its unnerving,
unwavering embrace of pain — a release that's at
once bare, brazen, and perversely beautiful. (AP)
