Cultural Stimuli in NYC
Issue 378: festive flavor
Don't be fooled by New Yorkers' gruff exteriors and workaholic ways — nobody spends as much time celebrating as we do. Over the next seven days alone, you'll find our masses manifesting love for everything from beatniks and bluegrass to Brooklyn. Fort Greene Park hosts homeboy Talib Kweli, great flicks, and loads of merchants for an all-day street fest. Area twang-slangers get overdue props at the Brooklyn Country Music Festival. The multi-venue Monster Island Arts and Music Festival is a perfectly Williamsburgian affair, while the Howl! Festival big-ups the Downtown scene with tours, exhibitions, and expos. Boob-tubery may seem an odd choice to fête, yet the New York Television Festival yanks potential potatoes off the couch and into theaters for the best upcoming small-screen works. And Celebrate México Now gives our southern neighbors a round of applause over 11 days. There's always a reason for revelry, so spread it.

After hundreds of years and thousands of interpretations, it seems critics and audiences alike will never get over their Shakespeare crush. Which is surprising, since a silly, sloppy-seeming play like A Midsummer Night's Dream probably wouldn't survive Broadway if it were written today. Director Daniel Sullivan's rendition of the lighthearted comedy, presented among the magical surroundings of Central Park, is well aware of the material's follies, but the fine cast, imaginative stage design, and cheeky staging does wonders for Willy's old, frivolous play.

After its sad, abrupt cancellation last year, Howl! comes back to New York. Named after and in the spirit of Ginsberg's revolutionary poem, the festival brings together literature, music, comedy, and other underground creativity in celebration of everything that makes the East Village and Lower East Side a national bastion of counterculture. From a walking tour on the history of sex in the old Jewish LES and an art exhibition on Charlie Parker to an indie-press packed Carl Solomon Book Expo and the massive potential of random record crate-digging, Howl! is a great place to nourish, dress, and facilitate the creatively "starving hysterical (and) naked."

Judi Werthein, who caused a stir two years ago by providing illegal immigrants with shoes and supplies
for jumping the Mexican border, decks out the sixth-floor gallery of Art in General to look like a
corporate lobby, in celebration of the not-for-profit's 25th anniversary. To plaster the gallery space,
website, and letterhead of an organization that selflessly commissioned and brought to light the
diverse work of hundreds of artists with a single, iconic corporate logo — well, the joke is
poignant, if not a little unnerving. To get a feel for the scope of AG's work over the years, a
survey of the gallery's history runs concurrently with Corporate Logo at the UBS Gallery in
Midtown. (JW)

New York Television Festival

Entering its third year premiering playful and irreverent small-screen
experimentation, the New York Television Festival invites you off your couch and into its screening
rooms to sample independent pilots from around the country. Talking rainbows, reality challenges,
situational comedies, and Staten Island superheroes aside, this is your opportunity for sneak peeks of
network shows, along with performances from sketch-comedy troupes and panel discussions. Pilot-makers compete in a variety of
categories, including comedy, reality, and drama. This year's submissions from the tristate area put
creative twists on reality television with I'm Sorry Melissa and roommate comedies with
Redeeming Rainbow. (RB)

Named by New York magazine as one of ten artists most likely to succeed in 2005, Jules de
Balincourt launches his third solo show at Zach Feuer Gallery. In Unknowing Man's Nature, de Balincourt reprises his signature apocalyptic rainbows, suggesting both a powerful beauty and
devastating force. This time however, his palette grows darker, revealing an even more somber optimism.
Speaking to the works' meditative aspects, Untitled (Lake) is a flat depiction of recreational
activities in small-town America, narrating the formation of American values. His small painting
Unkinking the Kinks reveals de Balincourt's interest in deconstructing, contextualizing, and
reflecting on his own iconography. (PJ)
Note: Be on the lookout for Flavorpill spot-rockers Justin and Myla, who'll be on the scene shooting for our new events page. This exhibition continues through Sat 10.13 (Tue-Sat: 10am-6pm).

The wonderfully vicious wit of George Saunders' imaginative, irreverent fiction has long been an antidote to the absurdities of modern life — leading the MacArthur folks to officially classify the author as a genius. In his first work of nonfiction, The Braindead Megaphone, Saunders finds himself running into a number of curious people and situations, from Dubai's luxury-laden hotels and Nepal's Buddha Boy cult to Mexico's Minutemen. This collection of essays perfects the stranger-in-a-strange-land voice that has distinguished so much of his work. (TW)

Recent CalArts grad Carter Mull's energetically detailed abstractions are about as far from straight
photography as an artist can go. Mull's dense and colorful pictures of photo-collages — shaped
into sculptural forms, strewn about the floor, or attached to the ceiling — abandon depth,
proportion, and even legibility. Challenging the static, forensic approach to photography by adopting
the style of more expressive media, Mull's chaotic perspective enjoys full attention here with eight
photographs, two photo-covered sculptures, and an installation. Long avoided by so many photographers, the artist's gestural mark on the work conjures imaginings of a madman Mull stooped over his box of archived images, pants and hands covered with clippings. (JW)

On the whole, country musicians don't much like the high rents and fast pace of big cities, but NYC has
always had its share of ramblers, gamblers, and urban cowboys. Beginning Thursday, local drawling
masses converge on two Kings County stages for the fourth annual Brooklyn Country Music Festival,
featuring the Memphis-style rockabilly of Andy Friedman & the Other Failures, the kazoo and washboard
ragtime of the Two Man Gentlemen Band, the steel-pedal roadhouse tunes of the Doc Marshalls, and a slew
of other honky-tonk acts from the metropolitan area. We're all kin here, so don't feel obliged to wipe
that East River mud off your boots. (GM)

The One AM Radio w/ Lymbyc Systym and Montag
|

The One AM Radio is a grand name for one very talented man, Hrishikesh Hirway, whose densely layered tracks of violin, guitar, keyboards, and vocals create a dreamy, dizzying amalgamation of cerebral songs floating between indie-folk earnestness and bedroom-studio experiment. Live, Hirway totes a lineup of musicians to help him recreate his miniature chamber-music compositions. In comparison, Lymbyc Systym's instrumentals are sonic giants — referencing Explosions in the Sky and Mogwai — infused with whimsical clickety-clacks and snippets of lo-fi sweetness, while Canadian Montag's fuzzed-out electro-pop recalls elements of Hot Chip and Röyksopp. (CH)

Romance & Cigarettes is a movie musical the likes of which MGM never could have dreamed up.
James Gandolfini stars as Nick, an ironworker whose midlife crisis takes the form of one curvy young
Cockney (a scarcely recognizable Kate Winslet) clad in a fire engine of a dress. When his wife (Susan
Sarandon) catches wind of his transgressions, she and her wack-job adult daughters (among them Mary-Louise Parker) howl new-wave and '60s classics to the beat of a different — and spike-heeled — drummer.
Drenched in reds, tears, sex musk, and chagrin, John Turturro's third directorial effort is
extravagantly not for the faint of heart. (LR)

Event Info |
|
|
With the Summer of Love's 40th anniversary threatening to become the Endless Summer, psychedelia
— in both its '67 and '07 versions — just won't quit. Jim Drain is of the latter school, and, as
the Boston Globe put it, he's "knitting his way to the top." The RISD grad soaked up plenty of
Providence's Fort Thunder arts-and-crafts animalism; his electric-colored sculptures incorporate wild
patterning and intricate weaving techniques. Drain's second New York show focuses on crowd-diving
pioneer Iggy Pop. With half the gallery sequestered by a woven net, four massive sculptures,
custom wallpaper, free-form collages, and photographs of Iggy's old clothes,
Greene Naftali becomes a visual warehouse for Drain's pulsating psyche. (HGM)

Stephan Bodzin
|
|
Stephan Bodzin seemed to have burst on the scene, Moog in tow, with a particularly developed melodic sense. Truth is, he'd made hundreds of records before this year's full-length solo debut, Liebe Ist, but none bore his name. With his prolific studio background and experience as a producer throughout the '90s (of trance, shhhh...), Bodzin shades his techno with minimal's darkness and house's sense of drama. Like a fly-fishing master, he throws out the sparkling line, creating sinuous motion just atop an opalescent patch, snaps back, and releases — keeping his melodic momentum in the dance floor's wide-angled view at all times.

A free day of open-house art shows, BBQ, karaoke, film, and music plays out near the water at tightly knit art and performance spaces in Brooklyn. DIY-rock impresario Todd P showcases a smattering of off-kilter but hard-lining Brooklynite bands, including screechy howlers Big A little a and, for the cuddlier among us, indie outfit Tiger Streifen, who offer electro-fortified anthropomorphic ditties about life in a zoo. If you're still feeling tight after all the head-bopping, catch the kung-fu demo in the subterranean Avant Floor of festival hosts Monster Island, or spend your last few bucks to class up your walls at the building-wide art installation and store, Rainbow Cloud City.

Knowing that art need not be a thing of stuffy pretense, Deitch Projects, Creative Time, and

and over 700 participants, artists march through Soho on West Broadway, wearing, riding, and escorting
original artwork, as well as the occasional monster suit and cardboard train. It's not a silent affair,
either, with performances from hometown DJs Max Pask and Bruce Force. With plenty of oil slicked
pageantry from the likes of the Dazzle Dancers, and roller-skate routines from COCO's Demoiselles, you
might find yourself actually enjoying a parade for once. (RB)

The youngest artist in the 2006 Whitney Biennial, LA-based Ryan Trecartin takes Warhol's
Factory concept and Jack Smith's B-movie aesthetic and blends them with a big helping of Providence
psychedelia, yielding campy, frenetically paced videos. His exuberant romp A Family Finds
Entertainment — lauded at the Whitney — featured Trecartin and
friends in drag disguises, faces covered in blotchy paint, talking in valley-girl falsettos about
whatever. For his debut solo show in New York, Trecartin has created a new film, I-BE AREA, with a
riotous cast of dysfunctional characters. Elizabeth Dee's front gallery is given over to an
installation of a set from the film Jaime's Room, while the movie screens in the back. (HGM)
Note: In conjunction with the exhibition, a special one-night screening of I-BE AREA is held at midnight tonight at Anthology Film Archives. This exhibition continues through Sat 10.13 (Tue-Sat: 10am-6pm).

antics rip like he learned to play from John McLaughlin, while Ed Bear's baritone-sax low end makes you
brown your pants. Behind it all, drummer/show stealer Kevin Shea (voted World's Greatest Percussionist by the Japanese Journal of Bullying!) fondles a 3/4-size kit with maniac clatter. So see Talibam! before they release
another Zappa-meets-Zorn concoction, or file a habeas petition at Guantanamo, whichever comes first.

When Philip Kaufman's Invasion of the Body Snatchers,
a remake of Don Siegel's 1956 paranoid classic, came out 22 years after the original, it — along with
George Romero's Dawn of the Dead — made audiences remember that a horror film could be more than just
severed limbs and phony acting. Now, nearly 30 years later, we're stuck with the
Kidman-Craig disaster at a theater near us. But thanks to Paul Giamatti's curatorial savvy, we
can skip it and head to BAM to see the best version, in all its fully projected glory. (AA)

"The yappier the better" seems to be the motto of much contemporary entertainment, with audiences
surprisingly tolerant and even welcoming of the constant chatter. Comedians, especially, stretch a
one-liner into an entire routine. So, when Billy the Mime takes on
controversial subject matter with aplomb, it's refreshing to realize that he does so without uttering a
word. It's even more astonishing that his silent humor reverberates louder and deeper than the most
loquacious comics. In America LoveSexDeath, Billy takes on notorious figures, from
Jeffrey Dahmer to Kurt Cobain, and offers his own twisted takes on everything from abortion to 9/11 and
the Virginia Tech shootings. Sometimes, silence is golden. And funnier. (SP)

3:10 to Yuma |
|
|
In 3:10 to Yuma, director James Mangold (Walk the Line, 2005) has achieved that rarest of
things: a remake that far outstrips its original, a 1957 black-hat/white-hat western. Buried in
a fusillade of gunfire, National Geographic-style realism, wildly choreographed pistol
fights, and grimy men glistening with testosterone and bad booze lives a conflict between spiritual
depletion and moral ambiguity — rather than between simple good and evil. As a bandit so successful that
his cheeks are plump with self-satisfaction, Russell Crowe squares off with a hollowed-out rancher
(Christian Bale) who's escorting him to jail; the result amounts to arguably the best performances of both
men's careers. (LR)

CD REVIEW: Liars, Liars |
|
|
Mute
Released August 2007
$14.99 (Insound)
|
Over the course of three albums, Liars have tackled everything from clever dance punk to divisive sound collage and tribal drone, proving themselves to be inventive experimentalists beholden to no genre. Liars' self-titled fourth marks another sharp directional change, this time taking the least predictable approach of all: straightforward rock. At times, Liars feels like an inversion of the band's last effort, Drums Not Dead, swapping that album's sluggish percussive layers for swift stabs of punk-rock aggression. Opening track "Plaster Casts of Everything" sets a volatile tone with breakneck guitars, while melodic rocker "Freak Out" filters '70s glam through fuzzy noise. The band dabbles in gauzy trip-hop on "Sailing to Byzantium," then crafts a brilliant, filthy beat for industrial throbber "Leather Prowler." At a brief 39 minutes, Liars succeeds, yet again, by thrusting the band in new directions — lest stagnancy stand in the way of even greater success. (JPC)

MEDIA: Daytrotter |
|

At first glance, Rock Island, Illinois, seems an unlikely hub for a thriving independent-music scene. And yet, the act of stopping by Daytrotter's makeshift studio to record a session is quickly becoming a right of passage for up-and-coming acts — a respectful nod to the legacy of John Peel's Maida Vale recordings. What's more, the site offers a wide range of editorial content, adding context and background to its downloadable performances. Don't miss recent recordings from Harlem Shakes, Laura Gibson, Menomena, and Sunset Rubdown — the last of which holds the distinction of being the site's most downloaded act. (JPC)
