Page Meets Stage - Poetry Event

Tue 07/28/2009 01:17 PM

National Poetry Slam Palm Beach Poetry Festival
To Co-Present PAGE MEETS STAGE
A Special Pairing of Poets
At Roxy's Pub in West Palm Beach - August 8

(West Palm Beach, FL -- July 27, 2009) For the first time ever, the National Poetry Slam, which is being held in West Palm Beach August 4 through 8, will co-present Page Meets Stage with the Palm Beach Poetry Festival. The event will be hosted by Taylor Mali, who originated the series at the Bowery Poetry Club in New York.

This particular pairing of Page Meets Stage will take place on Saturday, August 8, at 2 pm at Roxy's Pub, 309 Clematis Street in downtown West Palm Beach. will feature Maureen Seaton, representing the page, and Blair representing the stage. More than any other, this event will likely give the clearest explanation of the difference between "slam poetry" and "regular" poetry.

Taylor Mali, a long-time friend of the Palm Beach Poetry Festival and a world-renowned champion performance poet himself, will serve as the emcee for this afternoon reading event. Describing the uniqueness of the format, Mali says, "It's unlike any other poetry performance you've ever been to. The two poets remain on stage for the whole show and read back and forth, poem-for-poem. It is not a competition in any way. Rather, it's a conversation on where poetry exists: the home of poetry."

Miles Coon, Director of the Palm Beach Poetry Festival, said, “Ever since our festival began in 2005, we have featured not only the finest American poets writing today, but also such great performance poets as Patricia Smith, Jeffrey McDaniel, Marty McConnell, Roger Bonair Agard, Lynne Procope, Taylor Mali, and, coming to the 6th Annual Festival, next January 23, Andrea Gibson and Anis Mojgani. While our focus is primarily on the literary art-the poem on the page-we love and respect the vocal art-that is the poem written for performance on the stage. This event will bring Maureen Seaton and Blair together in a poetic dialogue that I believe will demonstrate the cultural value of both art forms in this unique meeting of two great poets and their work."

Taylor Mali went on to say of the National Poetry Slam and the Palm Beach Poetry Festival, "You couldn't ask for two more appropriate sponsors. What do you get when you mix the linguistic brilliance of the Palm Beach Poetry Festival with the raw power of the National Poetry Slam? Page Meets Stage!"

The Colony-Palm Beach Presents Swinging Singer Pianist TONY DeSARE, August 14-22

Tue 08/04/2009 02:28 PM

The Colony Hotel - Palm Beach Continues Summer Cabaret Season
With Swinging Singer/Pianist TONY DeSARE
August 14-15 21-22

(Palm Beach, FL - August 3, 2009) The Colony Hotel - which The Palm Beach Post has hailed as “probably the best place for cabaret on the planet” - continues its sizzling, song-filled summer with swinging singer/pianist Tony DeSare:

August 14-15 21-22:
Tony DeSare
Back by Popular Demand
Returning to The Colony directly from concert engagements in Manhattan, London and around the world is swinging singer/pianist Tony DeSare, an elegant, young crowd-pleaser whose singing style ranges from dreamy pop standards to boogie-woogie and RB. Tony DeSare performs with infectious joy, wry playfulness, and robust musicality. His takes on classic standards and sophisticated original compositions have earned him a reputation as one of country's hottest young performers. His sound is romantic, swinging and sensual, but what sets Tony apart is his ability to write original material that sounds fresh and at the same time blends seamlessly with the Great American Songbook. Tony has the capability to glide from a standard by George Gershwin to a contemporary classic by Bob Dylan or Phil Collins to one of his inventive original songs with ease.

Reviews of Tony DeSare:
+ The New York Times: “A lean baby Sinatra with burning brown eyes and flashing teeth…his sly performance establishes the kind of connection to a younger generation that has helped make Michael Bubl� a heartthrob among upscale women in their teens and early 20s…his intonation and enunciation are impeccable.”

+ USA Today: “DeSare belongs to a group of neo-traditional upstarts stretching from Harry Connick, Jr. to Michael Bubl� and Jamie Cullum. But this singer/songwriter/pianist's approach is refreshingly instinctual, blending Connick's smooth virtuosity with a rugged, relaxed quality… DeSare covers old and newer pop and jazz standards without smothering or over-thinking the material. And on a few classic-style originals, he exhibits a similarly breezy charm as a tunesmith.”

When, Where How Much:
The cost for dinner and show in the Royal Room Supper Club is $85 per person and $50 for show only. Each of the summer cabaret headliners will do an 8 p.m. show on Fridays and Saturdays, with doors opening at 6:45 p.m. for dinner. To make reservations, please call the hotel box-office at 561.659.8100. The Colony is located at 155 Hammon Avenue in Palm Beach.

The Colony-Palm Beach Concludes Summer Cabaret with SHEERA BEN DAVID, Aug 28-Sept 5

Mon 08/24/2009 12:18 AM

The Colony Hotel - Palm Beach Concludes Summer Cabaret Season
With Singer SHEERA BEN DAVID
August 28-29 Sept 3-4

(Palm Beach, FL - August 3, 2009) The Colony Hotel - which The Palm Beach Post has hailed as “probably the best place for cabaret on the planet” - continues its sizzling, song-filled summer with singer Sheera Ben David:

August 28-29 September 4-5:
Sheera Ben-David
Back by Popular Demand
The recipient of the 2007 Ira Eaker Bistro Award for Special Achievement from Backstage in recognition of her weeklong engagement at the Algonquin Hotel's legendary Oak Room, Sheera Ben-David also wowed cabaret fans at NYC's hot new Metropolitan Room. One reviewer praised her “big voice and big personality” and her “saucy confidence and winning honesty.” Time Out NY gushed over Ben-David's many selections by the tormented Belgian troubadour Jacques Brel - to whom she devoted her 2001 debut album,” as well as her irreverent patter and comic numbers.” And cabaret reviewer Stephen Holden in The New York Times hailed her as "a theatrically savvy performer with a strong, steady voice." Her 2008 CD, On a Carousel, was named Cabaret Hotline Online's 2008 Outstanding Female Vocalist Album; and earlier this year, she won rave reviews for her show, Let Me Sing and I'm Happy, at the Oak Room.

Reviews of Sheera Ben-David:
+ The New York Times: Sheera Ben-David's cabaret show “is a compelling exploration of the power of singing to change consciousness, not only her own, but yours and mine… Whether it is whistling a happy tune or vocalizing, the act of making music is a positive assertion of willpower with communal reverberations that can change the energy in a room, which is exactly what Ms. Ben-David accomplished.”
+ The Palm Beach Post: “Saucy, irreverent and theatrically savvy, the cabaret star has created a buzz with each Manhattan appearance. Her wide-ranging repertoire runs from Gershwin to Sondheim, Jacques Brel to Tom Waits and beyond.”

When, Where How Much:
The cost for dinner and show in the Royal Room Supper Club is $85 per person and $50 for show only. Each of the summer cabaret headliners will do an 8 p.m. show on Fridays and Saturdays, with doors opening at 6:45 p.m. for dinner. To make reservations, please call the hotel box-office at 561.659.8100. The Colony is located at 155 Hammon Avenue in Palm Beach.

Singles Ski Trip to Vail Colorado

Sat 11/21/2009 05:59 PM

This trip has it all --

GET A PAMPERED TREAT at our 4-star ski in ski out hotel with full amenities (and we even worked out a deal for discounts to use their amazing spa).
MASSIVE TERRAIN. for all ski levels-- Great place to learn, great place for experts. And snowboarders, check out the terrain parks.
NIGHTLIFE.This is THE place to party-- bars, comedy clubs, shows, live music- and we'll take advantage of it all and plan some special night entertainment from happy hours on top of the gondola to group dinners.
GROUP ACTIVITY Our motto is to have a good time and enjoy each other's company. Steppin' out crafts our ski trips so that there is always something going on-- from group breakfasts, meeting up for lunch, group happy hours, alternative activities and dinners. But if you want to break away for a bit, or longer than a bit.. no problem. Last years group bonded so well that they did everything together even when things weren't planned.. Come out and meet some new fun people. Regardless, you're on vacation and you don't have to think or arrange anything, we'll do it for you.
OTHER STUFF -- Another great thing about Vail-- there's so much to do there.. x-country skiing, snow shoeing, dog sledding, horseback riding, cooking classes, music -- you don't even have to ski (we'll deduct the lift price)

Paulette Dozier performs at New York’s Iguana VIP Lounge

Paulette Dozier performs at New York’s Iguana VIP Lounge

Jazz stylist Paulette Dozier is one of the entertainers to be featured on Wednesday, July 28, 2010 in the MAC Award winner “Richard Skipper and Dana Lorge” cabaret series presented at the Iguana.

A new friendship was born when jazz vocalist Paulette Dozier made a stop at Manhattan’s Iguana Lounge this past April 7th to promote her upcoming summer appearances in the Big Apple. Invited by her new BFF entertainer Richard Skipper, Paulette performed a solo number in his hit variety show hosted upstairs in the VIP Lounge. The elegant torch singer commenced with a swinging rendition of Sweet Georgia Brown to a delighted packed house, thrilling the audience of cabaret enthusiasts with her sultry alto sound and signature scat as she sang the #1 classic.

At song’s end, Paulette’s segment of the show took a delightful turn when Richard Skipper, who is well known in the cabaret circuit for his extraordinary impersonation of Carol Channing, joined her on stage. Together, they improvised the closing of Sweet Georgia Brown segueing into a short, playful version of Hello Dolly.

It became a fitting tribute when Paulette surprised the crowd (and Richard) by lowering her alto register to imitate Louis Armstrong’s deep raspy voice. And even though her pipes couldn’t reach the legendary low timbre of Pop’s, the jazz diva was very convincing. To cap things off, Richard integrated into the song in duet, becoming none other than Carol Channing as Dolly.

This too short but tremendous performance was met with enthusiastic applause and demands for Paulette in a return engagement.

Don’t miss the opportunity to see Paulette Dozier in concert this July. See schedule below.

DATE: Wednesday, July 28, 2010
LOCATION: Iguana VIP Lounge * 240 West 54th Street, New York, NY 10019
TIME: 8:00 pm
COVER: $12.00 Music Charge/No food or drink minimum!

UM, NINGU�M E CEM MIL

Wed 07/07/2010 01:49 AM

Com a interpreta��o de Virg�lio Castelo e a direc��o de Nelson Monforte, a pe�a "Um, Ningu�m e Cem Mil" da autoria de Luigi Pirandello estar� em cena no Grande Audit�rio do CCC.

“Um, Ningu�m e Cem Mil”, � a hist�ria de um homem, Moscarda pai de fam�lia e banqueiro influente, que atrav�s de um simples coment�rio da mulher ao seu nariz (“Olha bem para ele: descai-te para a direita”) v� a sua identidade posta em causa e descobre que h� uma infinidade de Moscardas na perspectiva dos outros. A banal constata��o da sua pequena imperfei��o provodar� no protagonista comportamentos cada vex mais estranhos para os que o rodeiam, levando-o progressivamente � loucura e � quase bancarrota financeira.

Humor�stico e profundamente ir�nico, �Um, ningu�m e cem mil�, foi o �ltimo romance publicado por Luigi Pirandello, Nobel da Literatura, e � considerado pela cr�tica como um dos pontos mais altos de toda a sua obra, onde o autor resume e aprofunda todo o seu universo, que marcou de forma original a literatura do s�c. XX

illicitizen hits the L.E.S.

Sun 07/25/2010 03:26 PM

Two piece Carolina indie band makes waves on the Lower East Side.
"The two-piece have combined their musical skills expertly to create this great first album, a real testament to their hard work and tireless effort. ... Cavanaugh's vocal style echoes David Byrne from his Talking Heads days and a young Jarvis Cocker, slow, quiet yet attention-grabbing and melodic while Zaccaro's steady bass line, similar to that of Joy Division, compliments it wonderfully. - The Pop Stalinist"
"On the' eclectic disk, the pair swerves from cabaret-folk to arty post-punk to jangly minor chord alt-pop without losing its, identity or its sense of humor... - Courtney Devores, Charlotte Observer"
"Illicitizen – hints of '80s rock, dark mod, indie rock, blues, punk, folk – combined with the fact no two songs sound the same musically. "Detached" reminded me of the tone of "Hurdy Gurdy Man" – though I couldn't decide if it was closer to Donovan or Butthole Surfers interpretation. The music retains a stripped-down, garage feeling to it, without sounding cheap or "high school." "New New One" had the vibe of a song from the 1950s with some punk riffs thrown over the top of it. "Two Eggs Any Style" uses a bit of a reggae groove in it. - Jeff Hahne Creative Loafing, (Charlotte NC)"

TANGOS

Wed 09/22/2010 02:59 AM

Tangos Trag�dias � um espect�culo que re�ne m�sica, humor, teatro e muita interac��o com o p�blico. Os recursos c�nicos s�o garantidos pela fic��o constru�da em torno dos dois personagens:

o Maestro Plestkaya (Nico Nicolaiewsky) e o violinista Kraunus Sang (Hique Gomez).

Artistas vindos de um pa�s imagin�rio chamado Sb�rnia (Sb�rnia do Sul, para ser mais exacto), eles executam ao longo de uma hora e meia de espect�culo m�sicas do folclore sb�rniano, can��es brasileiras e sucessos da m�sica internacional.

Tudo passando pelo filtro da comicidade, da teatralidade. Esses s�o os ingredientes que fazem Tangos Trag�dias agradar diferentes plateias e faixas et�rias.

� um espect�culo universal pelo seu despojamento e por tratar com humor os grandes temas como o amor imposs�vel, a dor-de-cotovelo e outras trag�dias do ser humano.

Ekoostik Hookah

Mon 09/27/2010 05:49 PM

EKOOSTIK HOOKAH TO PLAY THE BEACHLAND BALLROOM NOVEMBER 26, 2010
Supported by Cleveland’s Own Sultans of Bing
ekoostik hookah once again will be bringing their style of improvisational treatment of psychedelic rock ’n’ roll, blues, funk, jazz and bluegrass layered with rich harmonies to the Beachland Ballroom the day after Thanksgiving, November 26, 2010. Doors open at 8:00 PM. Show starts at 9:00 PM. Show is expected to sell out. Tickets are $20 in advance and $22 day of show and can be purchased at www.beachlandballroom.com or in person at 15711 Waterloo Road, Cleveland, Ohio.
The Ohio-based band began jamming during weekly open-mic nights when vocalist/keyboardist Dave Katz, lead guitarist Steve Sweney, bassist Cliff Starbuck and guitarist/vocalist John Mullins had full-time gigs with popular bands. The ensemble quickly found a following and began this odyssey when a stranger who heard them at a party bankrolled a trip to the studio to record Under Full Sail. By the end of recording, band members had committed themselves full-time to ekoostik hookah. Drummer Eric Lanese joined in 1993. Since then, the band has undergone a few changes in personnel, including the departure of Starbuck and the addition of bassist Phil Risko and the departure of John Mullins and addition of guitarist/singer/songwriter Eric Sargent in 2010. ekoostik hookah has always independently handled every aspect of its growth.
ekoostik hookah has played in more than 30 states at venues including New York’s Wetlands Preserve, Chicago’s House of Blues, Cleveland’s Nautica Stage, Atlanta’s Variety Playhouse, Boulder’s Fox Theater, Columbus’ Promowest Pavilion, Cleveland’s House of Blues, LA's Whiskey a Go-Go and San Francisco’s Great American Music Hall. In 1997 hookah was invited to play at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. ekoostik hookah played its first international shows in June 1999 in Negril, Jamaica. Since then the band has traveled back to Jamaica (in 2002), to the Netherlands in 2003 and back to Jamaica in 2006, bringing their fans along each time.
Though intense live energy fuels this band, hookah fans have snatched up more than 100,000 copies of its eight releases: Under Full Sail (1991), Dubbahbuddah (1994), an untitled, two-disc live set (1996), Where the Fields Grow Green (1998), Hookahville Spring ’98 (1998), Sharp in the Flats (1999), Seahorse (2001) and Ohio Grown (2002).

Immerse Oct 15th, with Stefan Goldamann at LOVE

Mon 10/11/2010 03:04 PM

[CENTER]Ladies and Gentlemen…the gloves are coming off on Friday, October 15th…

[B]
Stefan Goldmann [Macro][/B]

All hail to Germany as we bring dj/label owner Stefan Goldmann in to annihilate the
decks on one of the best sound systems in the city! His futuristic, funky, techno combines
earth-shattering hooks with unique elements like raw, uncut Bulgarian orchestra clips
for a truly avant-garde music experience. With an array of remixes and productions out
on respected labels Perlon, Cocoon, and Minus and the launch of his own label, Macro,
attracting artists like Peter Kruder, Namlook, and Ricardo Villalobos, this is bound to be
a night to remember…or not to remember…Here some, kind of recent, mix of Stefan:
http://www.djbroadcast.nl/podcast/id=651/episode.html
[B]
Martin K [versa NYC][/B]

Devoted to the cause, Martin K's roots go back to his high-school days when he traded
in his baby grand piano for an Alesis Synthesizer and some computer music programs;
making his parents very upset. His unwavering set programming and precision live-
effects work gives off a sense of organized chaos that can only be defined by the tingles
your insides receive. Partner and resident DJ of versa NYC, for those of you ready to get
down...your wish has been granted.
[B]
Orazio Rispo [Lavo NYC][/B]

After falling in love with techno at a Circoloco party in Rome, Orazio knew that he had
one mission and one mission only; to bring deep, techy goodness back to New York.
He’s been DJ’ing since the tender age of 15 and now holds a residency at new NYC club
Lavo. We see a lot of potential in this new talent and can’t wait for him to open our party
properly!

So mark your calendars for next Friday, Oct 15th as we invite you to partake in a very
special techno event with Stefan Goldmann! According to UK’s Mixmag, “Goldmann
is the only person besides Villalobos to approach this level of weirdness while retaining
such dancability.” Dance floor devastation and fine arts have never been as close as they
are in this man’s hands…

Mahler on the couch / MusicMaking

Tue 05/03/2011 09:34 PM

Directed by Percy Felix Adlon, Germany, 2010, 98 min., digital projection.
Preceded by Adlon’s documentary MusikMachen (MusicMaking) featuring Esa Pekka Salonen and the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra
Percy Adlon, who delighted audiences with Bagdad Caf� and Sugarbaby, is back in rare form with Mahler on the Couch.
This passionate and witty film is a portrait of the fascinating, fevered and doomed marriage beween Gustav Mahler and wife Alma.
Adlon tells their story through the seriocomic lens of Sigmund Freud, whom the freaked-out Mahler consults in Amsterdam after discovering that Alma has had an affair with the young architect Walter Gropius

”Moving, surprisingly funny, and filled with Mahler’s sublime music, Adlon’s movie is a sensory feast."
(LA FILMFEST)

Preceding the feature, we will show Adlon’s documentary MusikMachen (MusicMaking) featuring Esa Pekka Salonen and the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra.
The music lover can participate in the recording session with Ease-Pekka Salonen and his communication with Percy Adlon. Directors Percy and Felix Adlon talk about their concept of using Mahler's music for their feature film. The rehearsal and recording is illuminated with senes from the movie.
A special aspect of the session is the directors' request not only to record the full orchestra but also to isolate and record single instruments and groups that are usually part of the whole, the complete score.
Benedict Neuenfels who also shot the movie Mahler auf der Couch gives this fascinating experience his very personal visual signature.

Most recently they received the most prestigious piano trio prize in the U.S., the Kalichstein–Laredo-Robinson Trio Award in 2010.
Germany's national program for young musicians and the Best of NRW Concert Series have provided the Morgenstern Trio a noticeable platform with numerous concerts across Germany and live radio appearances to showcase their already consummate musicianship.

BLOCKBUSTER: John Rabe

Tue 05/03/2011 09:44 PM

Dir. Florian Gallenberger, Germany, China/France 2009, 134 min, digital proj., starring Ulrich Tukur, Daniel Bruehl, Steve Buscemi
Ulrich Tukur stars as John Rabe, a German businessman who became a reluctant hero, when the Imperial Japanese Army invaded China in 1937.
The head of Siemens China Co., along with a few other members of the foreign community, created a safety zone in which a quarter of a million civilians survived what was later to go down in history as the "Nanking Massacre".
John Rabe had become long forgotten by the time his diaries were rediscovered ten years ago. They now form the basis for Florian Gallenberger's fascinating account of what John Rabe did in those turbulent times.
To this day he is still revered in China, but he has never been commended, much less rewarded, for his courage and decency in his own country.
Upon his return to Germany in 1938, he was arrested by the Gestapo for collaborating with the Chinese. He died in poverty soon after World War II.
The New York Times recently referred to Rabe as "The Schindler of China".

Florian Gallenberger was born in 1972. From the young age of five, he appeared in various roles in feature films, TV productions and theater plays.
From 1992-1999, he studied Directing at the University of Television Film in Munich (HFF/M). In 2001, he won an Oscar� for his graduation film Quiero ser (short, 2001).
His other films include Shadows of Time (Schatten der Zeit, 2004) and John Rabe (2009).

BLOCKBUSTER Austrian Night! La Pivellina

Tue 05/03/2011 09:46 PM

Dir. Tizza Covi and Rainer Frimmel, Austria/Italy 2009, 100 min, digital proj.
Abondoned in a park, the two-year-old girl Asia is found by Patti, a circus woman living with her husband Walter in a trailer park on the outskirts of Rome.
With the help of Tairo, a teenager who lives with his grandma in an adjacent container, Patti starts to search for the girl's mother and gives the girl a new home for an uncertain period of time.
La Pivellina is a film about a cosmos of outcasts in present-day Italy: a moving tale of courage and discrimination, of loss and togetherness, a look behind the corrugated-iron fence of a gated community.

The film was Austria’s entry for the 2011 Academy Award� for Best Foreign Film.

Tizza Covi was born in Bolzano in 1971. She lived in Paris and Berlin before studying photography in Vienna.
After finishing her studies she went to Rome where she worked as a photographer. Rainer Frimmel, born in Vienna in 1971, also studied photography.
In 2002 Tizza Covi and Rainer Frimmel founded their film production company Vento Film to be able to produce their films independently. They won several awards for their documentaries, including the Wolfgang Staudte Award at the Berlinale for Babooska.
La Pivellina is their first feature film.

Helene Hegemann at Skylights Books

Tue 05/03/2011 09:48 PM

The L.A. literary community is in for a treat, when the German literary enfant terrible Helene Hegemann presents her book Axolotl Roadkill and her film Torpedo at Skylight Books.
Axolotl Roadkill is described as a furious coming-of-age debut which struggles with the insight that everything meaningful has already been said.

Helene Hegemann
was born in February of 1992 in Freiburg and is often labeled as "Wunderkind of the digital Boheme".
She grew up with her divorced mother until age 13, and after her death moved to Berlin to be with her father. It was during that time that she started writing.
In 2007, Helene’s drama Ariel 15 premiered in Berlin and was later turned into a radio play.
Her screenplay Torpedo was turned into a movie in 2008. Hegemann directed it herself and won the Max-Oph�hls-Prize.
In 2010 her first novel Axolotl Roadkill was published in Germany and instantly received a lot of praise by literary critics. But Hegemann was faced with accusations of plagiarism and eventually admitted to have copied some passages of her book from an online blog.
Her confession sparked a controversy about the issue of intertextuality and copyrights.
Nevertheless, Axolotl Roadkill has been translated into 15 languages and made into a drama that had its premiere in November of 2010 in Hamburg.

Helene Hegemann is currently an artist-in residence at the Villa Aurora.

BLOCKBUSTER: Werner Herzog - I am my films

Tue 05/03/2011 09:53 PM

Dir. Christian Weisenborn, Germany 2010, 98 min, German w/English subtitles
30 years after Christian Weisenborn’s first portrait of the German director extraordinaire, he visits him in the hills overlooking Los Angeles, where Herzog has become a cult figure.
Weisenborn and Herzog have worked together, so it is a conversation between old friends, intercut with numerous clips from Herzog’s vast body of work.
“There is no mercy when the camera's running,” Herzog explains – he is well aware that his protagonists, whether in his feature films or documentaries, are letting themselves in for an adventure and are at the mercy of the director.
But he also willing to script and think up scenes for the characters even in his documentaries, for the sake of capturing what Herzog recognizes as the truth behind the facts.
“This is how we should make films,” as “storytellers”, and these stories need to be “designed”. This is the opposite of the genre that Herzog has wanted to “bury” for decades.

Christian Weisenborn was born 1947 in Berlin. He started working in theaters in Flensburg and Nuremberg and began studying at the University of Television and Film in Munich in 1970.
He finished his studies in 1974. The same year he founded the film production company Nanuk. Filmproduktion. From 1978-1983 he was a university lecturer at the University of Television and Film in Munich and has taught many film related workshops around the world.
His films include I am my films- A portrait of Werner Herzog (Was ich bin sind meine Filme, 1978), and the TV documentary series Legenden (2000-2009), where he portrayed Niki Lauda, Pel�, and Muhammad Ali, among others.

Get Physical - New Media in Space

Tue 05/03/2011 10:22 PM

What happens when we soon get tired of seeing he world through computer screens – when we long for tangible experiences that are digital in nature yet have a physical presence?

Get Physical is an Art Center Forum dedicated to the fusion of digital media with our built environment providing post-virtual experiences.

Joachim Sauter – internationally acclaimed media designer, educator and founder of Berlin-based agency Art+Com – along with other leading representatives of this emerging design discipline will present interactive spaces and experiences that make digital media content tangible.

One of ART + COM’s projects in the recently inaugurated Berlin BOULEVARD DER STARS on the centre strip of Potsdamer Stra�e.
The previously unused area in the city centre tourist district has been transformed into an accessible, interactive memorial in honor of outstanding cinema personalities. The design is based on the situation of a film premiere, the moment at which film creators present their work to the public and fans can meet their idols.
The four key elements are applied permanently to urban space: red asphalt finish serves as red carpet, brass stars represent the personages from the film business, floodlights and cameras pointed at the stars.
Through the viewer of the abstractly represented cameras that are formed like stelae, visitors see the relevant actor standing in hologram form on his or her brass star and can have their photograph taken with them.

Daniel Franke: First Person Shooter

Wed 05/04/2011 05:13 PM

Young Projects is proud to present a new group exhibition called First Person Shooter, which explores the use of video game technologies within contemporary art practices.
This group show will look at the way in which contemporary artists are engaging with, appropriating, and using elements from video games to create unique works of art. For many, video games have replaced cinema in terms of its importance, influence and engagement with the viewer and are thus, forging a new paradigm.

Germany’s Daniel Franke, who is considered to be one of the most promising young artists in the field, will be presenting two new works, each of which will be the center piece of the show.
“By Seeing” (2010), uses advanced technologies to make a very real, and very solid, cement block disappear before the viewer’s eyes—thus ushering in notions of the dematerialization of art and 3D gaming theories.
“Spatial Sound Sculpture” (2009) by contrast, allows the viewer to use a handheld screen to scan the surrounding space, which in turn creates visual and audible music in real time.

This will be Franke’s debut in the United States and his first visit to Los Angeles.
The exhibition will be accompanied by a panel discussion (Date to be determined)

Opening Reception: May 26th 2011, 5:30 to 8:30 p.m.

Teacher Bios

Jason Lanza. Drawing and other types of art have always been a huge part of my life, from preschool and its crayola markers, through the fine arts classes of college and into the software and technology I use in my career today. A comic book drawing class, similar to this one (although without the booze), was where I learned the basics of drawing comic art as a kid, and ever since, comic book-style art has always had the greatest influence over my own art (although, maybe the superheroes had something to do with that, too).

Lizzee Solomon started drawing when she was a kid, initially by cartoon shows like Ren and Stimpy and the Pokemon GameBoy games. Now, she is a graduate of Carnegie Mellon University, and does
paintings, drawings, sculptures and comics.

Ryan Yee. For over three years, after graduating from the Art Institute of Phoenix and now a professional concept designer for Schell Games, illustrator for Wizards of the Coast, and fine artist, Ryan has worked on projects for The Dallas Mavericks, Disney Pirates of the Caribbean Online, Microsoft, Nintendo, Universal Studios, and Magic the Gathering. Recently Ryan has started working on a web comic Called Let My Name Be Vengeance and mixes his passion for design, fine art, illustration, and comics into all aspects of his works.

Yonder Mountain String Band has always played music by its own set of rules. Bending bluegrass, rock and countless other influences that the band cites, Yonder has pioneered a sound of their own. With their traditional lineup of instruments, the band may look like a traditional bluegrass band at first glance but they’ve created their own music that transcends any genre. Dave Johnston points out “What could be more pure than making your own music.” Yonder’s sound cannot be classified purely as “bluegrass” or “string music” but rather it’s an original sound created from “looking at music from [their] own experiences and doing the best job possible.” The band continues to play by their own rules on their new record The Show.

The Colorado-based foursome has crisscrossed the country over the past eleven years playing such varied settings as festivals, rock clubs, Red Rocks Amphitheater in the band’s home state, and recently the Democratic National Convention in Denver at Mile High Stadium opening for Barack Obama. Their loyal fanbase has been built from this diverse setting of music venues as fans latched on to their genre-defying original sound.

For new album Awakening, set for release on October 4, this means understanding and embracing their strengths, for the greatest impact possible.

Join us for a presentation led by industry experts that have developed a systematic process to make sure that your plans are carried out, delivering the best possible results.

MFAH Perfomance: The Mill and the Cross

Wed 12/28/2011 05:59 PM

Renaissance painter and printmaker Pieter Bruegel (1525–1569) was renowned for his landscapes and peasant scenes. His masterpiece The Way to Calvary imagines the story of Christ’s Passion set in Flanders under brutal Spanish occupation in 1564, the very year in which Bruegel created his painting. The Mill and the Cross gives life to the painting by focusing on a dozen characters whose stories unfold and intertwine in a panoramic landscape populated by villagers and red-caped horsemen. Acclaimed Polish artist and filmmaker Lech Wajewski worked closely with computer graphics artists to create and manipulate imagery drawn from Bruegel’s paintings into vivid tableaux. The film stars Rutger Hauer as Bruegel, Michael York, and Charlotte Rampling as the inspiration for the Virgin Mary.

MFAH Film Screening: Hej Rup!

Wed 12/28/2011 07:28 PM

In 1989 the MFAH presented the landmark exhibition Czech Modernism: 1900–1945 which inspired the current exhibition New Formations: Czech Avant-Garde Art and Modern Glass from the Roy and Mary Cullen Collection (on view through February 5). Hej Rup!, featuring the comic duo George Voscovec and Jan Werich, was among the many films screened as part of the original exhibition. In the late 1920s and 1930s, these Czech burlesque entertainers were leaders of The Liberated, a theatre group that became a center for Czech clownery and a reaction to contemporary political and societal problems. Hej Rup! pairs their slapstick antics with a pointed anti-fascist message. Two unemployed milk cannery workers (Voscovec and Werich) discover that one owns a half-finished apartment house and rallies fellow workers to complete the building for use as a collective dairy.
Special thanks to Karel Zima, National Film Archive (Prague), and Irena Kovarova, freelance film programmer (New York).

MFAH Film Screening: Good Bye (from 2010’s Iranian Film Festival)

Wed 12/28/2011 07:43 PM

From the director of The White Meadows (a favorite from 2010’s Iranian Film Festival), Good Bye is the story of Noora (Leyla Zareh), a Tehran lawyer in search of a visa to leave the country. Recently disbarred for participating in activist campaigns against the government, Noora is pregnant and alone, her husband exiled because of his role as a political journalist. But Noora’s problems are compounded by her gender: women are not allowed to drive, cannot get medical procedures or check into a hotel without a male family member’s consent, and cannot take charge of simple transactions, like getting a security deposit back, without being harassed or cheated. Fed up, she decides to leave the country with the help of an Iranian version of a “coyote.” The title literally translates as “hope to see you again,” and the film’s action mimics director Rasoulof’s situation during the winter of 2010-2011 as he received a one-year prison sentence and twenty-year ban on filmmaking.

Join Bayou Bend in January and February 2012, as the historic house museum offers an interactive, taste-bud-friendly look at the history of several popular American beverages. Over four weeks, participants will learn the history of coffee, tea, distilled spirits and hot chocolate in American foodways, as well as taking part in tastings. These four beverages have reflected fashion and taste, but have also affected economics, politics, and of course the objects that Americans made and used. Guest speakers include Nick Castelberg, Chef and Head of Foodways at the George Ranch in Sugarland, as well as Lee Garcia, Editor-in-Chief of Tea in Texas Magazine. During the fourth week, a special tour of the Bayou Bend collection which focuses on objects relating to drinking and beverages will be a part of the itinerary. This series was inspired by the fall Bayou Bend-Rienzi History Book Group selection A History of the World in Six Glasses by Tom Standage, which can be enjoyed at the Kitty King Powell library.
Advance registration for The History of American Beverages is required to attend the sessions. Participants may sign up for individual sessions or the entire series. To sign up for the series, use the "buy tickets" link at the top of the listing. For individual session tickets, click here.

He mostly dreams of becoming an established writer and leaving his family obligations behind. But Ehsan’s colleague proves to be of great interest to Yalda and her mother as an eligible bachelor, and Farideh suggests her son invite him for dinner.
