Cultural Stimuli in NYC
Issue 364: long-view flavor
With Memorial Day hot-doggin' now but a memory, we're in for a long, vacationless stretch until our nation's birthday. But as any Big Apple summer veteran can tell you, this is when the real fun starts. Look no further than the onslaught of River to River Festival dates just announced, beginning this weekend with free shows from post-folksters Animal Collective, an Elevator-less Roky Erickson, and the always chin-stroke-tacular Bang on a Can Marathon. Putting our eyeballs on the myriad media that hip-hop has dug into is the H2O International Film Fest, while the smaller scale Rabbit in a Turtle Shell takes a more rockist, Bushwickian approach to the multimedia festival format. For an excuse to escape the increasingly steamy urban jungle, might we direct you to New Jersey (no, really) for the bayou-beckoning Crawfish Fest? And finally, speaking of long hauls, sculptor Richard Serra realigns our sense of scale with gargantuan works throughout MoMA. Hunker down, belly up, and spread it.

New York by New York is an experiment in six parts. We're collaborating with some of our favorite bands, DJs, chefs, comedians, and underqualified art auctioneers on one event per month, through the fall. We're not sure how they'll turn out, though one thing we can guarantee: every ticket includes a subscription to New York magazine, which you should be reading anyway. |

Man of Steel
Young Richard Serra once worked for Bethlehem Steel to pay for college. Forty years later, he's an iconoclastic minimalist and one of the grandest sculptors creating today.

Tonight Mo Pitkin's goes local with creative nonfiction born and bred on the streets of our city. Rich Cohen reads from his memoir Sweet and Low, about growing up in Brooklyn as an heir to both the Sweet'N Low fortune and attendant family feuds. Add Ian Frazier's essay collection Gone to New York, and you've got an evening of New York's most eccentric real-life characters and street scenes — including a typewriter repairman, the bubbling Gowanus Canal, and a human-hair emporium in Queens. Both humorists and urban anthropologists, Cohen and Frazier write in hot pursuit of the pulse of the city. (EMM)

Monolake w/ Vladislav Delay and Joe Claussell's Translate
|
|
Techno-world deity Monolake, born Robert Henke, is revered for his minimal compositions and technical acuity. Such assets shine through in his large-scale outdoor installations that mimic the sounds of thunderstorms as well as his no less hair-raising indoor sets. To boot, Henke's former collaborator, Gerhard Behles, helped develop Ableton Live, the de rigeur program for live electronic performances. While Monolake's technical abilities are peerless, the gear junkie is equally adept at using his toys to craft textured, driving tracks. Better know for his housey work as Luomo, Vladislav Delay (née Sasu Ripatti) billows clouds of weighty, captivating, abstract dub through Love's precision PA. (PS)
 What's the best type of junkie, and why? Our favorite response in 50 words or less wins either a pair of tickets to this event or a Monolake CD. Entries close at 6pm on Tue 5.29.

Photography duo Andrea Robbins and Max Becher are known for documenting the curious side effects of globalization: London Bridge rebuilt in Arizona or the identical buildings on Wall Street and in Havana, Cuba. The French Institute displays three of their iconic series. German Indians examines the Karl May Festival, an annual event in Bad Segeberg where tribes of Germans emulate Native American culture. In Bavarian by Law, Robbins and Becher document a village in Washington state, dogged by economic decline, which transformed itself into a Bavarian-style town to attract tourists. The photographs in America in France: Strip Malls of Toulouse could pass for Stephen Shore's photographs of Anywhere, USA, except for the giant signs in French. (HGM)

| PERFORMANCE |
An Evening with SOFT TARGETS
|
|
In military parlance, a "soft target" is an indefensible object (a car, house, or public gathering) slated for annihilation. The latest payload from SOFT TARGETS, the Brooklyn-based journal of poetry, theory, short fiction, and art, features contributions from artist Toba Khedoori, photographer Zoe Leonard, John Waters, late sociologist Pierre Bourdieu, and poet James Tate. To help celebrate the launch of v.2.1, SOFT TARGETS presents an eclectic night of entertainment: the enigmatic short-story writer Gary Lutz reads his story "Years of Age," and Ariana Reines recites selections from her sexual, scat-suffused verse. Virtuosic guitarist Mick Barr performs a new solo guitar project, and artist Kalup Linzy gives a performance from his soap opera-inspired camp routine. (HGM)

The evidence of hip-hop's international influence is undeniable when browsing the 80 films from more than 10 countries that make up this year's Hip-Hop Odyssey International Film Festival. H2O's cinematic representatives from Africa (HipLife: Hip-Hop in Ghana) join homegrown legends (Wu: The Story of the Wu-Tang) and all-city graf artists (Inside Tats CRU). Nine panel discussions with speakers including Pharoahe Monch, Henry Chalfant, and Kamilah Forbes take place throughout the week and address issues from spirituality to making it in the media market.

Kaz Oshiro takes trompe-l'œil — the slightly hokey genre tradition of making paintings
appear to be real things — to extremes by making three-dimensional paintings.
Okinawa-born Oshiro recreates banal, box-shaped objects in high detail with canvas and paint, his
signature objects showing evidence of their imagined owner's attempts at customization. There's a wood-paneled mini-fridge sporting a Black Flag sticker and Toyota tailgates decked out with Calvin &
Hobbes stickers and fake gunshot marks. Fender amps stenciled with band names sit listless in the
gallery, and empty Formica-paneled cabinets are mounted on the wall. The silent row of washer and dryers is the height of Oshiro's laborious, quixotic efforts at deception. (HGM)
Note: This exhibition continues through Sat 6.30 (Tue-Fri: 10am-6pm).

Frequent flirtations with pop, glam, ambient, and trance have always made Kompakt's sound hard to pigeonhole. But recently the techno superlabel's arsenal of producers has swelled even faster than its ever-expanding aesthetic. Last year, the boys from Cologne again reached beyond the Reine, signing São Paulo-based beatsmith Gui Boratto. Their newbie didn't disappoint, releasing "Arquipélago," a minimal mind-fuck caned in clubs worldwide and provided the groundwork for Supermayer's storming reworking of "Like You." But these singles only proved an appetizer to his debut full-length, Chromophobia, a record chock-full of brawny dance-floor workouts, shimmering comedowns, and 2007's first essential anthem, "Beautiful Life." Tonight, Boratto performs live and Kompakt honcho Michael Mayer DJs. (JJ)

Crazy Love |
|
|
For longtime readers of the New York Post, the story is more than vaguely familiar. In
1957, married lawyer Burt Pugach began wooing Bronx beauty Linda Riss, who promised herself to
another when he failed to leave his wife. He responded like any spurned suitor and hired local
thugs to throw acid in her face, permanently disfiguring her and landing himself in the can. And
that's just the beginning of the couple's five-decade train wreck of a romance, which this documentary
captures with a Crumb-like glee that converts us all into abject rubberneckers. Crazy
Love is possibly the most vehemently, blissfully anti-date movie ever made. (LR)

While known for their jangly folk melodies and giddily chanted lyrics, Animal Collective vary widely in concert — we hear they've left the guitars at home for this go 'round. Whatever their fancy, the feral, freaky popsters always strike a chord between catchy and cacophonous. (JW)

Four tons of live crawfish are bound from Louisiana to New Jersey for this year's Crawfish Fest, a
mini jazz-fest that combines hedonistic eating with music that could only have originated in the
funky swamp of New Orleans. The four swinging (trom)bones of Bonerama and the stinging riffs of
blues master Sonny Landreth set up headliners the New Orleans Social Club — pianist Henry
Butler, the Meters' George Porter Jr and Leo Nocentelli, with Ivan Neville, and Raymond Weber. Lafayette's Cajun upstarts the
Pine Leaf Boys will get you to the dance floor, and zydeco master Geno Delafose will keep you
there, working off the beignets, jambalaya, po-boys, and boiled crawfish. (PDS)
Note: Day two of the fest features Dr. John, Cowboy Mouth, and Jon Cleary and the Absolute Monster Gentlemen. Catch a direct bus from Port Authority. A two-day festival pass is $45.

Formerly the Billyburg Short Film Fest, Rabbit in a Turtle Shell has expanded in its second year
to include drawings, photography, paintings, and interactive installations. The artwork is on view
all week, but screenings take place only tonight, beginning with a discussion on creative life in Brooklyn
— hosted by Matt Levy, the 3rd Ward-dwellers, and the Madagascar Institute — and an
on-the-spot group piece (also virtually representing via Second Life in the space's computer lab).
Five shorts, including Super 8 flicks, noir, and docs, along with a handful of animations, cover
the cinema angle. The Vandelles' thrashing blues riffs and a BBQ party close out the night. (RB)

River to River Festival presents Roky Erickson w/ Alejandro Escovedo
|
|
As vocalist for the inarguably influential Summer of Love-era act 13th Floor Elevators, Roky Erickson leveled mind-bendingly tripped-out tales over the hard crunch of whirling, psychedelic guitar. Attacking the genre with an edge that would prove a heavy influence on the legions of hard psych and grunge acts to come, his group cemented its cult status, but never rose to the ranks of pop-music royalty — in large part because of Erickson's mental instability and crippling drug addiction. Back on track after years spent battling personal demons, Erickson returns to the music fold a living legend, playing his inimitable brand of churning rock tonight alongside poignant roots rocker Alejandro Escovedo.

Contemporary music isn't all brushed-white interiors and people who use the word "arriviste" (that
doesn't make 1973's Sleeper a bad movie). Now in its 20th year, the Bang on a Can Marathon — a
celebration of New York's eminent new-music collective spread over a continuous 26 hours
— skirts the boundaries of classical and the avant-garde with enthusiasm and ease. Catch
Thurston Moore doing "Stroking Piece #1," or go ambient with the Bang on a Can All-Stars' take on the ethereal weightlessness
of Brian Eno's Music for Airports. Doses of Reich, Lucier, and Tenney also are available for you
purists. Considering the event's totally free, that's a lot of Bang for your buck. (MG)

This summer, MoMA honors the colossal work and career of sculptor Richard Serra. This poet of
rolled steel took the matter-of-fact materialism of minimalism and cranked the physical intensity
all the way to 11. You don't look at Serra sculptures; you feel them in your bones. MoMA includes a swath of Serra's early, lower-tonnage works from the mid-'60s, like the rubber-and-neon tubing of Belts and Doors. Also on view are steel works from the '70s,
such as Circuit II and Delineator, in which Serra took his first stabs at
immersive installations. Two examples of Serra's beloved mammoth steel pieces fill the sculpture
courtyard, and three recent incarnations overwhelm the contemporary galleries. (ADT)

The Fucking Champs w/ Birds of Avalon and Red Fang

The Fucking Champs were playing ridiculously complicated, Maiden-style epics long before metal found new popularity with the type of indie nerds who would totally get their asses whomped at a headbanging gig. The lyric-less power trio continues to push its riffnoxious, stop-on-a-dude stylings tonight in support of its new Drag City release, VI. The hairier, '70s-mining — from Thin Lizzy to Deep Purple — North Carolina unit Birds of Avalon and the growlier, bluesier Portland quartet Red Fangs open. (DRC/JL)

|
To the city's theatre scene, the Debate Society is that last, freshest cookie in the jar
when you thought they were all gone and were still craving more. The quirky company's fascination
with stories originating from the Black Plague continues with The Eaten Heart, a work
inspired by Giovanni Boccaccio's 14th-century masterwork The Decameron, in which 100
stories of debauchery and murder are told over ten days by ten people. In this production, the characters forsake
their daily modern-day monotony for the alluring anonymity of a remote motel, where strangers
check in and out and peculiar things are wont to happen. (SP)

Dance purists may cringe, but dance-spectacle companies like MOMIX not only stage striking work,
but they help bridge the vast gap between the art of dance and mainstream audiences. For its Joyce engagement, Moses Pendleton's troupe presents a selection of its most popular works from an
impressive repertoire. The dancers revel in the demanding, acrobatic choreography as they rely on
powerful physiques and a host of unusual props to defy gravity. MOMIX's fun-loving nature comes
across in the short works that use everything from puppetry to clever lighting design to interpret
the concept of "dance" as a thoroughly multimedia experience. (SP)

Event Info |
|
|
On an unassuming street in the Financial District, Beth Campbell interrupts the monotonous plop
art and all-business ethos with Potential Store Fronts. Though the window of 125 Maiden
Lane bares neon slogans like "Become a Life Coach" that appear to promote a low-budget
self-improvement program, the objects inside the spare, fluorescent-lit room don't look
encouraging — a scrawny jade tree, a Help Wanted sign, and a printout achievement award.
Rather than draw shoppers into the store, the window display recedes into itself, as though
reflected back and forth toward infinity. The effect is real, however, and several consecutive
and identical rooms occupy what would be the store, transforming the interior space into an
extension of the façade. (JW)

KEEPING IT REAL: Multidisciplinary Hip-Hop |
 |
|
Hip-hop culture catches lots of flack for its failings, but there are many positive, empowering
forces at work, as depicted in the recent doc The Hip-Hop Project. Organizations like H2Ed hold
seminars and provide curriculum outlines for teachers interested in integrating aspects of hip-hop
performance and writing into the classroom. Smaller groups, such as Urban Artbeat and Urban Word
NYC, provide volunteer opportunities to go into schools and after-school programs to provide
students with structure and real-world skills. The upcoming New York City Hip-Hop Theater
Festival (Thur 6.7 - Sun 6.17) presents plays, dance performances, and musical theatre. (RB)

CD REVIEW: Various Artists, Urban Africa Club |
|
|
Out Here
Released January 2007
$14.99 (Amazon)
|
All over the African continent, relatively cheap production software has
opened a digital palette to producers and MCs. Urban African Club
aims to introduce Western ears to the tracks that keep clubs sweaty from
Soweto to Dakar. The compilation opens with Zola's "Bhambatha," a banger
that exemplifies South Africa's increasingly dominant kwaito style. Its
distinctive, inflected house bounce also underwrites "Atoti Pt 2," a
fever-inducing party-starter from Kenya's Gidigidimajimaji. The compilation
is bursting with hip-hop hybrids, from Tanzanian bongo flavor to Ghanian
hiplife, but more familiar international styles also make appearances.
Uganda's Peter Miles drops a digitized dancehall burner, while fresh
permutations of rap from Senegal to Gabon round out the compilation. With
such a vast reach it's inevitable that Urban African Club doesn't
quite hold together; but that's a small price for such an ear-opening
experience. (TW)

STREAMS: Beats in Space |
|
|
With an ever-growing global following, Tim Sweeney's Beats in Space is a testament to the power of niche media. Though it's hosted from the WNYU studios, the radio show is consumed via weekly podcasts by devoted music heads hailing from Södermalm to Shibuya. This week, it boasts a mix from disco-edit don Pilooski and the Dirty Sound System — who drop all things psych, cosmic, and left-of-center in support of their forthcoming Space Disco comp. Also, be sure to check out a mix by Andy Butler from recent DFA signings Hercules and Love Affair. And, lest we neglect the archives, take a look around for classic mixes by the likes of Kid Koala and Ninja Tune's PC. (CJN)
