Hello unto you.

Final reminder about tonight’s first coming of my band Black Love – which is me on vocals and ESP, Tibetan bells, whip, toy piano and the El Kabong bell wand, ex-Saccharine Trust drummer Tony Cicero on percussion, and Sergio Segovia on bass. We’re on at 9:30 p.m., admission is a low-low-low $5 and the evening wraps up before midnight. Come to the show and become a Black Lover! What we sound like: heavy break-up music for people who don’t feel like breaking down – think Robert Palmer turning into a deck of tarot cards in a John Cassavetes film about cynical mysticism and you’ll get the gist. Onward to new awareness! The details:

Friday, May 29
Black Love is a philosopher/king, an unstoppable clock, and the growling subtext of base desire – making heavy music for breaking up without breaking down. Also appearing: Jesus Makes the Shotgun Sound, Bobb Bruno (of Polar Goldie Cats), Mothers of Gut.
9 p.m., The Smell

Subject: Visit to Gary

“Last week I had the pleasure of visiting Gary Todd at his assisted living facility in Crookston. I was there for 5 days and although I speak to him by phone daily, it was the first time I’d seen him in two years. Gary has made some incredible physical advances. He walks unassisted everywhere and I am including a video clip of him running. His speech is still sometimes difficult to understand but he is not shy about talking and even sang along with the radio when we were driving in the car. The house where he lives has a very good staff and is very nice, however I’m afraid Gary is very isolated mentally and was very upset that I would not take him back to California with me. I explained that I was recently laid off my job and needed to find work before we could plan anything, even a visit. He said he would help me find a job. I asked him where and he said “Cal Arts”, then I asked him what I would do there and he said “graphics”. He was very serious about this. I didn’t meet with his family, but I can see that from their point of view Gary is doing fine, but Gary’s point of view is that there is no “reality” in Crookston. Monday, June 1, is Gary’s birthday (46) and I encourage everyone to send Gary a letter or card. He doesn’t need presents, just contact from his friends about what they’ve been up to. Every day he goes out to the mailbox in hopes he’ll have mail and it would be great for him to hear from people on his birthday.

His address is:
Gary Todd Sylvester
820 Eickoff Blvd
Crookston, MN 56716

P.S. Warning! Do not buy Gary Todd CDs! Tom Grimley discovered the latest with Gary’s CD collection on eBay. It is unbelievable and bizarre. There seems to be no limit to Gary’s victimization”: http://www.cortical.org/StudentFund/

“[rr008] Whisky Club Ensemble – “Waking Up The Sun”

During one of the first nights of April AD2009 a group connected with Charles Bukowski’s Whisky Club performed cacophonic ritual of waking up the sun on the top of mountain X over the bay Y. The ritual – strongly influenced by Slavic neo-paganism – is a form of reuniting with Nature glorified by sounds and lets the cosmic energies flow through participators, their ideas & their music. All emotions of these moments flew out unimpeded through instruments in an easygoing jam session in unusual circumstances of nature. Edited version of what was played during that event – of which successors will be speaking in poems for a long long time after – is track presented here: digital clash of psycho-folk and way-too-free jazz made from original recordings with a sense of humor typical for Recycling Records. Or maybe it all never happened…track can be downloaded from:
www.archive.org/compress/rr008_wakingsun

or listen at www.recyclingrecords.com/pl/rr008
and at http://www.last.fm/music/Whisky+Club+Ensemble/Waking+Up+The+Sun

We’d like to add that the band was established and recordings & mix made being sober. Charles Bukowski’s Whisky Club promotes culture of moderate and responsible ways of enjoying alcohol.”

L’ORGUE DE BOIS / THE WOODEN ORGAN (Eric Cordier – musician, Denis Tricot – sculptor)
“This wooden organ will be set up under water on a barge. Stretching up in the air, entirely held by slings, six or seven ‘wooden ropes’ at least 9 yards long form the living material in this sculpture-instrument designed for landscape and architecture. These thin wood strips thrust up from a space that becomes the Organ’s console. This is where amplification occurs, using sound sensors mounted on the wood. Eric Cordier, the organist, operates at the console, playing on the moorings and directly on the wood with mallets and bows. At the same time, Denis Tricot moves constantly around, playing the slings and boards with his bare hands. The duo thus offers improvised musique concrète. A cross between Athanasius Kircher’s Aeolian harp and musique concrete experimentation by Pierre Schaeffer, while alluding to Murray Schafer’s soundscape compositions, the Orgue de Bois is above all defined by the modes in which it is played: the ‘natural’ mode, as it stands alone in its space to be played by the wind, and the instrumental mode, when ‘bowing’ turns it into an amplified sound box. As an electrified instrument, it initially produces no sounds, only coming to life through the amplification technology that makes it audible. The ‘bows’ expected include the wind and the audience, whose members discover the pleasure of playing with sound by touching the instrument and attending the concerts. Each instrument is unique, and uniquely designed for the place that is to receive it. It thus unfolds its potential on the scale of a landscape, an architecture, a street or a city. With its immense tangle of cords and wood, it creates a space for privileged sites exhibited to the public. Gesture and sound improvisers are encouraged to step in as impromptu ‘bows’.”

“The ensemble directed by John Schneider continues its multimedia survey of Harry Partch’s work with a program that features the manic “Yankee Doodle Fantasy”; the forlorn and beautiful “Eleven Intrusions”; the intensely anguished “Dark Brother” (a setting of Thomas Wolfe’s “God’s Lonely Man”); and the out-and-out zaniness of “Two Settings from Finnegans Wake” and “O Frabjous Day! (The Jabberwock)”. Also: a rare screening of Madeline Tourtelot’s art-house film “Windsong”. And, as always, the fantastic array of Partch’s custom-built microtonal instruments.”

ROBERT BEAVERS – screenings
“Please join us for a rare screening of Robert Beavers’ films, which will be followed by a Q&A with the artist. “Robert Beavers has created a body of poetic work that is meticulously composed, yet sensuous and astoundingly beautiful. Shot largely in Italy and Greece and then edited in Switzerland, Beavers’ elegantly lyrical films draw on European landscape, art, and architecture to deeply explore aural and visual perception and the filmic medium itself. Musical, metaphorical, and magical, these films aspire to convey, as the artist says, ‘the serenity of a thought without words.’” (Kathy Geritz, Pacific Film Archive)
“Early Monthly Segments” (dir. Robert Beavers, 1968-70/2002, 16mm, colour, silent, 33 min., gilmed in Switzerland, West Berlin, and G reece)
“Collects studies shot between 1968 and 1970 and was completed in 2002 (this unhurried artist finishes pieces over a span of decades). In it, he begins to articulate his distinct cinematic lexicon: close examinations of Mediterranean light, the elaborate use of mattes and colour filters as cinematic punctuation, associative editing and visual rhymes, and a variety of in-camera effects.” (Ed Halter, Village Voice)
“The Stoas” (dir. Robert Beavers, 1991-97, 16mm, colour, sound, 22 min., filmed in Greece (Athens & Gortynia)
“Commences as a beige-brown study in haunted urban space: the back alley of some anonymous metropolis, its rusted metal infrastructure and cardboard detritus. Partway in, sunlit green washes over the frame, as the setting shifts to a lush mountain stream. Splendours of light, leaf and running water dazzle the eye, while an ancient stone bridge reiterates Beavers’ pull toward the past and his penchant for half circle shapes. Interspersed throughout is an emblematic image: a pair of hands lit up in the foreground of utter darkness. They make a gesture of movement, one over the other, and a sign of measure, empty space held between. Whatever else it says, THE STOAS is a hushed testament to the adventure of consciousness, the eternal drama of perception, selection, patience and skill.” (Nathan Lee, The New York Sun)
“Pitcher of Colored Light” (dir. Robert Beavers, 2000-07, 16mm, colour, sound, 23 min., filmed in Falmouth, Massachusetts)
“I have filmed my mother’s house and her garden. The shadows play an essential part in the mixture of loneliness and peace that exists here. The seasons move from the garden into the house, projecting rich diagonals in the early morning or late afternoon. Each shadow is a subtle balance of stillness and movement and shows the vital instability of space. Its special quality opens a passage to the subjective. A voice within the film speaks to memory. The walls are screens through which I pass to the inhabited privacy. We experience a place through the perspective of where we come from and hear another’s voice through our own acoustic. The sense of place is never separate from the moment.” (Robert Beavers)

MICHAEL WINSLOW – “Man of 1000 Voices”
“You know him best as Officer Larvell Jones, the irrepressible burbling, beep-borping human Foley machine that was a mainstay character in the Police Academy repertory company. Be it helicopters, electric guitars, cop sirens, the inner workings of robots, barking dogs, squishing soggy sneakers, roaring jets, spine-tingling scratches on a chalkboard, screaming guitars, cell phones, kung fu dubbing – he is truly the man of a thousand noises, at the very least. He captured the juvenile fascinations of a generation with his uncanny talent for imitation, and tonight, Winslow takes the Cinefamily stage to embark on a new venture: a never-before attempted challenge that only he could possibly fulfill. Yes, Winslow will be providing a live music-and-effects track to a varied sampling of classic and not-so-classic shorts from the silent era. Not so silent anymore!”

Hello unto you.

Another reminder about the first coming of my band Black Love – which is me on vocals and ESP, Tibetan bells, whip, toy piano and the El Kabong bell wand, ex-Saccharine Trust drummer Tony Cicero on percussion, and Sergio Segovia on bass guitar – happens in downtown Los Angeles next Friday, May 29 at The Smell, 247 South Main Street, 213 625 4325, thesmell.org. We’re on at 9:30 p.m., admission is a low-low-low $5 and the evening wraps up before midnight. If you’ve ever enjoyed even the slightest photon of illumination from these dozen years of Actions and find yourself in the greater metropolitan Los Angeles area on the evening of Friday, May 29 – come to the show and become a Black Lover. What we sound like: heavy break-up music for people who don’t want to break down – think Joe Henry or Ian Curtis in a John Cassavetes film about cynical mysticism and you’ll get the gist. Onward to new awareness!

As ever, dispatches from my endless fount of creativity can be found fairly regularly at Twitter: http://twitter.com/blackloveglobal

Subject: Gear stolen!

“I was on tour with Steve Hauschildt in New York and our van was broken into and our gear was stolen when I went to get some pizza with Keith Fullerton Whitman at four in the morning. When I got back to the van, a guy had our sh*t in his car and when I ran towards it, he tried to hit me with his car. Here is a list of the stuff that was stolen. I will have serial numbers when I get back to STL. Please help spread the word. I am screwed without this gear. I have no way to make music / have a future without it…thanks.

MAY 22 – 25
JENNIFER WEST – “Skate the Sky Melon Grab Film”
“Los Angeles-based artist Jennifer West will create a new film live in the gallery by uniting an unlikely mix of ink, film strips and skate-boarding. In this unique event, titled “Skate the Sky Melon Grab Film”, West will build on her previous experiments with everyday materials such as pepper spray or Axe body cologne used to physically manipulate celluloid. West will stage a performance in the Turbine Hall for which a team of skate-boarders will traverse paint and ink-covered film strips, their wheels scraping into the celluloid and marking their movements in complex and psychedelic patterns. This live event will be followed by a screening of the films created plus a selection of West’s earlier films.”
“Arte Povera and Film” – “This programme presents rare films by the central artists affiliated with Arte Povera, including Giovanni Anselmo, Alighiero Boetti, Pier Paolo Calzolari, Giulio Paolini, Mario Merz, Michelangelo Pistoletto and Gilberto Zorio, many of which are the only example of them engaging with film. Films by Ugo Nespolo, which document the works of Boetti and Pistoletto, and by Luca Patella, which record performances and actions by Jannis Kounellis and Pino Pascali, will also be screened.” “Around Arte Povera” – “This selection of films broaden the terrain around Arte Povera by screening seldom seen films by innovative but overlooked artists working in the same period, such as Gino De Dominicis, Giosetta Fioroni and Franco Vaccari.”
FEDERICO FELLINI – “8 1/2”
“‘8 1/2’, Fellini’s cinematic masterpiece from 1963, explores the alienating effect of modern society in an Italy then still in thrall to the economic miracle, in a manner which chimes with Arte Povera’s yearning for an agrarian and pre-industrialised society. Starring Marcello Mastroianni and shot in black-and-white by cinematographer Gianni di Venanzo, the film features a soundtrack by Nino Rota.”
“Collage and Collaboration” – “This programme focuses on collaborative filmmaking in Italy during the late 1960s, which chimes with the communal spirit of Arte Povera. Gianfranco Baruchello’s and Alberto Grifi’s “La Verifica Incerta” is comprised of a collage of stills from Hollywood movies and other sources, and features figures such as Marcel Duchamp and Queen Elizabeth II, while “Tutto Tutto Nello Stesso” represents a rare chance to see an Italian film by a cooperative of independent filmmakers.”
“Dissonant Dandy: Luigi Ontani” – “Luigi Ontani came to prominence in Italy and internationally during the late 1960s and ‘70s with a series of performances and exhibitions ranging from the Galleria Sperone in Milan to Sonnabend in New York. His dandy persona was deployed to re-enact a series of tableaux vivants from folklore, fairy tales, mythology, art and history. From restaging Christopher Columbus’ voyage traversing the Atlantic to reconstructing the camp postures and poses from paintings by Guido Reni, Ontani’s idiosyncratic work represents a radical counter-position to that adopted by Arte Povera. The screening will be followed by a conversation between Ontani and artist Cerith Wyn Evans.”

LARRY GOTTHEIM – screenings
“From his late-1960s series of sublime “single-shot” films, such as “Fog Line” and “Barn Rushes” to the dense sound/image constructs of the
mid-1970s and after, Gottheim’s cinema is the cinema of presence, of observation, and of deep conscious engagement. While addressing genres of landscape, diary and assemblage filmmaking, Gottheim’s work properly stands alone in its intensive investigations of the paradoxes between direct, sensual experience in collision with complex structures of repetition, anticipation and memory.”

LARRY GOTTHEIM – screenings
“From his late-1960s series of sublime “single-shot” films, such as “Fog Line” and “Barn Rushes” to the dense sound/image constructs of the
mid-1970s and after, Gottheim’s cinema is the cinema of presence, of observation, and of deep conscious engagement. While addressing genres of landscape, diary and assemblage filmmaking, Gottheim’s work properly stands alone in its intensive investigations of the paradoxes between direct, sensual experience in collision with complex structures of repetition, anticipation and memory.”
“Blues” (dir. Larry Gottheim, U.S., 1969, 16mm, colour, silent, 9 min.)

JOHN SCHNEIDER – “Partch DARK/Partch light” (interpreting Harry Partch)
“The ensemble directed by John Schneider continues its multimedia survey of Harry Partch’s work with a program that features the manic “Yankee Doodle Fantasy”; the forlorn and beautiful “Eleven Intrusions”; the intensely anguished “Dark Brother” (a setting of Thomas Wolfe’s “God’s Lonely Man”); and the out-and-out zaniness of “Two Settings from Finnegans Wake” and “O Frabjous Day! (The Jabberwock)”. Also: a rare screening of Madeline Tourtelot’s art-house film “Windsong”. And, as always, the fantastic array of Partch’s custom-built microtonal instruments.”

CHAKA – exhibition
“Daniel Ramos, a.k.a. Chaka, was 18 when he was arrested and charged in 1991 with 48 counts of vandalism, trespassing and causing $500,000 in property damage. Chaka’s signature tag had appeared in a staggering 10,000 locations from Orange County to San Francisco. At the height of his notoriety Chaka was demonized by mainstream media and culture as being little more than a prolific vandal. At the same time he was celebrated by street artists who admired the ability of a teenager from the projects to literally make his mark on the vast, glitzy LA cityscape in such a ubiquitous manner. He is credited with breaking away from the New York “wildstyle” popular at the time and introducing clearer, more blockish lettering into tagging. Chaka was one of the first to create a reputation as a recognizable individual tagger, and spawned many imitators. However, Chaka was not just a lone operative. He was part of the LOD crew and as such, his work in reclaiming hard to reach places of the cityscape (freeway overpasses, walls, trains etc) on behalf of his crew is recognized by fellow taggers as a selfless achievement for LA’s graffiti scene as a whole. After spending a year tracking down the once unavoidable Chaka, Mid-City Arts presents his first solo show. For Chaka’s fans as well as street art collectors, this will be a rare opportunity to revisit the nostalgia of the early ‘90s, and own a piece of LA’s cultural history. Chaka himself will be in attendance and there will be a limited number of signed posters in addition to his works available for sale.”

Wilcox’s haunting paintings of young blond girls and landscapes of beauty and impeding disaster are seeped in symbolic context. Warm umbers accentuated with subtle flesh tones are achieved through a series of burnishing and glazing techniques, giving the work a shadowy depth seldom seen since the Illuminists of the 1800’s. While Wilcox’s paintings reference the highly romanticized past of previous centuries, his constructions evoke religious iconography dating back to the beginning of mankind’s search for salvation. A carved wooden altarpiece of Noah’s Ark includes sea dragons and black birds circling its gothic spires. The back room of the exhibition is transformed into a snowy winter’s day, with a full-size wagon carrying a simple wooden coffin.”

Hello unto you.

I am deeply proud to announce the first live action by my band Black Love. Black Love is me on vocals, Tibetan bells, whip, bell wand and possibly distorted toy piano; Tony Cicero (late of Saccharine Trust) on percussion; and Sergio Segovia on bass guitar. It happens in Los Angeles on Friday, May 29 at The Smell; other bands on the bill are VOICEsVOICEs, Jesus Makes the Shotgun Sound, and Duhkha. Not sure when precisely we go on but doors open at 9 p.m., admission is a low-low-low $5 and the evening ends a bit before midnight. This is the point at which I point out that if you’ve ever gleaned even the vaguest glimmer of enjoyment from 11+ years of Actions newsletters, please do show your appreciation for my Herculean efforts and come see Black Love. We make heavy break-up music for people who don’t want to break down – think Joe Henry or Ian Curtis in a John Cassavetes film and you start to get the idea. We should have some copies on-hand of the first release on my long-threatened Hertz-Lion label: the Black Love “Idyl” lathe-cut 7”, in an edition of 30. Also forthcoming on Hertz-Lion: tributes to The Gerogerigegege and The New Blockaders, the Dys- “1999” cassette (my noise band Dys-, not Dave Smalley’s DYS), and a meditation on Tommy Tutone’s “867-5309 Jenny,” packaged in pages from the 1982 Manhattan telephone book. More on those and other releases a bit later.

The mystery of Everett Ruess’ disappearance is solved
An aging Navajo man’s story of witnessing a homicide and burying the victim leads to remains — and leads scientists to the answer to a 75-year puzzle.
By Thomas H. Maugh II
May 2, 2009

“His name might not rank with Amelia Earhart’s and Judge Crater’s, but the disappearance of Everett Ruess has been an enduring legend of the Southwest for 75 years.

Only 20 at the time of his disappearance, the writer, artist and environmentalist who has been compared to a young John Muir was last seen near Utah’s Davis Gulch in 1934. Numerous search parties failed to find him, and authors have speculated widely about his demise. Many believed he drowned in the Colorado River. Modern forensic technology, however, has shown that a weathered skeleton discovered last year by a young Navajo investigating an old family secret is that of Ruess, who was apparently killed by Ute teenagers, Colorado researchers said Thursday.

“I am pretty well convinced that this has got to be Everett,” said author W.L. “Bud” Rusho of Salt Lake City, who has written extensively about Ruess.

Questions remain about the fate of Ruess’ journals, box camera and other belongings, but the discovery caps a story that has been the subject of books, documentaries and abiding speculation.

Ruess had roamed the Southwest for four years, sending home elegant letters to his family, composing poems, and producing intricate wood carvings. Despite his young age, he was a confidant to Western artists, including Dorothea Lange and Ansel Adams. In his last letter to his family, Ruess wrote: “As to when I shall visit civilization, it will not be soon, I think. I prefer the saddle to the street-car, the star-sprinkled sky to a roof.”

His slaying was apparently witnessed by a young Navajo man, Aneth Nez. After a 37-year silence, Nez told his granddaughter, Daisy Johnson, that he had watched from Comb Ridge near the Utah-Arizona state line as three Utes killed a young white man. Nez asked her to take him to the site above Chinle Wash where he had buried the body in a crevice. Memories of the event had been haunting him, and he wanted to retrieve a lock of hair for a healing ceremony. Last year, Johnson told her younger brother Denny Bellson about the episode and took him to the area of the grave. In a telephone news conference arranged by National Geographic Adventure magazine, where the new findings are being reported, Bellson said he found the grave site in an hour and a half.

“When I looked in the crevice and saw the top of the skull there, I knew it was him,” Bellson said. Also at the site was his grandfather’s saddle, which had been left behind because it had gotten bloody. Bellson called in the FBI, which investigates homicides on Native American territory. After a cursory investigation at the site in which agents shattered the skull, the FBI concluded the victim was a Navajo “and that I was wasting their time,” he said. But the remains were excavated by Ron Maldonado, the Navajo Nation’s supervisory archaeologist, and sent to anthropologist Dennis Van Gerven of the University of Colorado at Boulder. Van Gerven had never heard of Ruess and was “actually not interested,” he said, but persistent inquiries from David Roberts, a contributing editor at National Geographic, persuaded him to examine them.

He and graduate student Paul Sandberg concluded that the bones belonged to a white victim, age 20 to 22, who stood about 5-foot-8. After reconstructing the skull and photographing it, they superimposed the image on pictures of Ruess taken by Lange and found them to be a perfect match, particularly the teeth.

“Everybody’s teeth are unique in size, shape and spacing,” Sandberg said. “Nothing excluded Ruess.” The team then called in molecular biologist Kenneth Krauter, also of the University of Colorado, who extracted DNA from a femur and compared it to DNA from four of Ruess’ living nieces and nephews. Examining about 600,000 sites across the entire genome, he found matches at about a quarter of the locations, the proportion expected for nieces and nephews. As a control, he ran the DNA against samples from 50 people chosen at random and found less than a 1% match. “The evidence is irrefutable that the bones are from a close relative of the four,” Krauter said. “Combined with the facial reconstruction, that makes this an irrefutable case.”

But some mysteries linger. Ruess’ two burros were found 60 miles from the grave. And he had told his family he was heading southwest from Escalante, Utah, yet was found due east of there.

“There are questions we will never know the answers to,” Rusho said.”

AKEMI NAITO – posthumously scoring “The Woman in the Dunes”
“The Woman in the Dunes is a collaboration integrating performance, video and music. The work is based on the novel “The Woman in the Dunes” by Kobo Abe and incorporates traditional Japanese Noh Theater movement in a multimedia performance piece. I intended to create a work in which music, visual image and performance equally respond to each other. The music is scored for percussion with electronics. This work was funded in part by the Composers Assistance Program of the American Music Center. About the story: while collecting insects in the sand dunes surrounding a remote Japanese village, an amateur entomologist finds himself trapped in a large pit with a woman who had made it her home. Their job is to shovel sand every night to protect the tiny village from the eroding dunes. This performance is the story from the woman’s perspective. Midori Kanazawa, actress; Kristine Marx, video artist; Akemi Naito, composer; Gregory Beyer, percussionist; Kanji Shimizu, Noh choreographer.”

ELLIOTT SHARP & JACK WOMACK – “Binibon” (musical theater)
“Award-winning composer and multi-instrumentalist Elliott Sharp teams up with noted sci-fi writer Jack Womack to present Binibon, a work of music/theatre and alternative history that tells a distinctly New York City story. Featuring a cast of four actors playing multiple roles and Sharp performing live on guitars, saxophones, and electronics, Binibon recalls the nexus of artists, musicians, and bohemian characters that peopled a grittier moment in New York’s history. Centered on an infamous murder that occurred in 1981 at Binibon, an East Village cafe and hangout, Binibon draws on Sharp’s own compositional and performance language that he developed during the time of the events and reveals ties to punk, No Wave, electronic dance music, noise, and industrial sounds. Binibon is directed by Tea Alagic with design by Zane Pihlström, Jennifer Moeller, and Gina Scherr, and projections by Janene Higgins. Featuring Ryan Quinn, Sonja Perryman, Jedadiah Schultz, and Joe Tapper.”

EDDIE RUSCHA – scoring “Häxan: Witchcraft Through the Ages” (1922, 35mm, silent, (20 FPS), Swedish intertitles with English subtitles, 106 min.)
“Los Angeles-based artist Francesca Gabbiani has selected an eclectic range of works on paper, many from UCLA’s own collections, that explore the subjects of witchcraft and sorcery–themes that are often subtly evoked in her own work. The works selected include drawings, prints and illustrated books ranging in date from the Renaissance to the present. To complement this exhibit, the artist and the UCLA Film & Television Archive have co-curated three evenings of film screenings (two with live musical accompaniment) that explore similarly occult themes. Two iconic films about witchcraft will be screened: Danish master Carl Theodor Dreyer’s haunting “Day of Wrath” (1943) and the legendary “Häxan” (1922), by Benjamin Christensen – presented in a gloriously restored and tinted print from Sweden. The program concludes with an eclectic mix of short works from the silent era through the 1960s, including Kenneth Anger’s “Invocation of My Demon Brother” (1969). Christensen’s notorious pseudo-documentary about
the history of witchcraft is a beguiling blend of animation, fiction, fantasy and “re-enactments,” with satanic rituals, witch trials and medieval torture devices, featuring the director himself as Satan. With a nod towards Hieronymus Bosch, Christensen’s stunning and risqué imagery still retains its potency.Häxan will be presented in a restored and tinted print from the Swedish Film Institute with a special electronic score composed and performed by Los Angeles-based musician, Eddie Ruscha, a.k.a The Secret Circuit.”

CHAKA – exhibition
“Daniel Ramos, a.k.a. Chaka, was 18 when he was arrested and charged in 1991 with 48 counts of vandalism, trespassing and causing $500,000 in property damage. Chaka’s signature tag had appeared in a staggering 10,000 locations from Orange County to San Francisco. At the height of his notoriety Chaka was demonized by mainstream media and culture as being little more than a prolific vandal. At the same time he was celebrated by street artists who admired the ability of a teenager from the projects to literally make his mark on the vast, glitzy LA cityscape in such a ubiquitous manner. He is credited with breaking away from the New York “wildstyle” popular at the time and introducing clearer, more blockish lettering into tagging. Chaka was one of the first to create a reputation as a recognizable individual tagger, and spawned many imitators. However, Chaka was not just a lone operative. He was part of the LOD crew and as such, his work in reclaiming hard to reach places of the cityscape (freeway overpasses, walls, trains etc) on behalf of his crew is recognized by fellow taggers as a selfless achievement for LA’s graffiti scene as a whole. After spending a year tracking down the once unavoidable Chaka, Mid-City Arts presents his first solo show. For Chaka’s fans as well as street art collectors, this will be a rare opportunity to revisit the nostalgia of the early ‘90s, and own a piece of LA’s cultural history. Chaka himself will be in attendance and there will be a limited number of signed posters in addition to his works available for sale.”

EDWARD WALTON WILCOX – exhibition
“Wilcox’s sepia-toned gothic paintings and Medieval-style altarpieces merge classical technique with modern perception. Wilcox’s haunting paintings of young blond girls and landscapes of beauty and impeding disaster are seeped in symbolic context. Warm umbers accentuated with subtle flesh tones are achieved through a series of burnishing and glazing techniques, giving the work a shadowy depth seldom seen since the Illuminists of the 1800’s. While Wilcox’s paintings reference the highly romanticized past of previous centuries, his constructions evoke religious iconography dating back to the beginning of mankind’s search for salvation. A carved wooden altarpiece of Noah’s Ark includes sea dragons and black birds circling its gothic spires. The back room of the exhibition is transformed into a snowy winter’s day, with a full-size wagon carrying a simple wooden coffin.”

Hello unto you.

But first, the sad news about the sudden drowning death of Robert Delford Brown, he of all things Happening and Fluxus.

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/05/arts/design/05brown.html
“Robert Delford Brown, ‘Happenings’ Artist, Dies at 78
By BRUCE WEBER [New York Times]

Robert Delford Brown, a painter, sculptor, performance artist and avant-garde philosopher whose exuberantly provocative works challenged orthodoxies of both the art world and the world at large, usually with a big wink, was found dead on March 24, 2009, in the Cape Fear River in Wilmington, N.C. He was 78 and lived in Wilmington, where he had moved two or three years ago to prepare for a 2008 exhibition of his work at the Cameron Art Museum there. The death has been ruled accidental, Deputy Sheriff Charles Smith of the New Hanover County Sheriff’s office in North Carolina said. The cause appeared to be drowning. Mr. Brown was last seen on March 20, said his stepdaughter, Carol Cone. Mr. Brown, who had had hip surgery and walked with a cane, was known to have been scouting locations for an art project in the river involving a number of rafts, and he is thought to have fallen in.

A colleague of artists like Jim Dine, Claes Oldenburg and Nam June Paik, Mr. Brown was a central figure in the anarchic New York art scene of the early 1960s, a participant in – and instigator of – events-as-art known as “happenings.” He saw the potential for aesthetic pronouncement in virtually everything. His métier was willful preposterousness, and his work contained both anger and insouciance. His raw materials included buildings, pornographic photos and even meat carcasses. He often performed in the persona of a religious leader, but dressed in a clown suit with a red nose and antennas hung with ripe bananas. In the end his message to the world was that both spirited individualism and unimpeded creativity must triumph.”

“At a moment when many artists pursue increasingly theoretical work employing complex media and technology, Terry Braunstein agilely demonstrates how it is possible to create contemporary work that utilizes sophisticated digital technology and is simultaneously highly personal. Through the use of collage techniques combined with photographic manipulation, Braunstein creates fictionalized landscapes where one may encounter dinosaurs in a tropical forest wandering with modern day folks from Miami Beach or see a woman in house attire busily sweeping the interminable floor of a vast desert, (Empty Nest). In her installation “Garbage Can Man” (from the “Time Bound” series), a man in midlife with his leg in a trash can looks beyond his gate to a limited future. Features more than 50 works by Terry Braunstein including 2 installations (hitherto unseen), altered books, book-like assemblage works, sculptural works, photomontage and photo and video documentation of her public art works. There will also be an exhibition of Braunstein’s artwork at Craig Krull Gallery at Bergamot Station in Santa Monica running from April 11-May 16, 2009.”

Hello unto you.

My various cultural appearances are on Twitter now: http://twitter.com/blackloveglobal

Some passings: Austin Grasmere of ‘60s Connecticut avant-psych band Cromagnon died this past July 24, 2008; he was part of the East Coast equivalent of the Source Family / YaHoWa commune in Los Angeles. Also just left: French composer Henri Pousseur (June 23, 1929 – March 6, 2009), whose 2008 retrospective Sub Rosa CD, “Electronic, Experimental, and Microtonal 1953-1999” is utterly essential and entertaining listening.

Somewhat unrelatedly, the passing of Edward B. Grothus (June 28, 1923 – February 12, 2009). An obituary: “Ed Grothus, the legendary proprietor of the Black Hole, a long-standing Los Alamos fixture, artist, anti-nuke activist and irritant to death-and-bomb culture proponents of his chosen home town, died at his home today after a long illness. Ed was well respected by all, even by those whose work he opposed, and his grouchy but amused countenance will be missed by all that knew him. The world is a poorer place without him. He was thrilled to live long enough to see Barack Obama sworn in as president. The Los Alamos Sales Company (a.k.a. Black Hole; as Ed said, “everything goes in, and nothing comes out” a reference to his finely tuned pack-rat tendencies) remains open for business. There will likely be changes coming in the future, but there are no plans to end retail surplus sales.”

Subject: Gary Todd Sylvester: Very Important News
From: “Michael Intriere”
Date: Wed, 18 Mar 2009 14:32:53 -0700

“Greetings to all, I’m sorry that it has been a while since I have communicated with you regarding Gary’s situation in Crookston, Minnesota.

HERE IS THE LATEST:
Gary is speaking more and more and if I don’t call him he will call me (he can remember my phone number!) and ask when I am coming to take him back to Malibu. His diction varies so there are times when I can’t understand what he is saying and a few weeks ago his sister and guardian Barbara Ross told the staff at the Assisted Living House that they are not allowed to give ANY information about Gary to anyone except herself and Gary’s dad. This means that they cannot help me understand Gary when his speech is unclear. I also can’t ask what is happening with him when he tells me something like “My teeth are falling out.” Which he has repeated to me several times over the past two weeks. I have no idea if this is an exaggeration on his part or if there is a real problem.

To make a long story short, I am putting together a package of information to send to the judge assigned to Gary’s case. Previously both myself and Gary’s cousin Ruth Vetter hoped to have Gary’s guardianship changed from his sister Barbara Ross to one of us. However it is a difficult case and though I found a lawyer who was willing to pursue it, the retainer of $18,000 he was asking was a bit much. Gary has a lawyer appointed by the court, but the lawyer felt there isn’t a case at this time (he seemed to be working under the assumption that everything Barbara’s lawyer told him about Gary was true).

HOWEVER:
Doing research I found that the law in Minnesota had changed a few years ago, giving the judge the final decision as to what rights the guardian is allowed. One of those rights is where the ward would live. I’ve found out that I could send the judge any information I chose regarding the case (although the judge is not obligated to respond).

HERE’S WHERE YOU COME IN:
Aside from the basic information on Gary’s life I’m putting together, I need an email from each of you which I can printout and include in the package. Write it as a letter to District Court Judge Tamara Lynn Yon, and explain who you are and your experience knowing Gary. Even if you only know Gary from the music he produced through the Cortical Foundation, your letter is needed. If you agree that he should be back in California you should explain your view, and since he would be living back at my house in Malibu you could mention what you know of me and what I’ve done in the past regarding Gary’s welfare. Last year many of you wrote letters when Gary’s sister tried to have the court stop me from making phone calls to Gary (her petition was denied). At that time Judge Yon was impressed by your response so please be aware that these letters are very important. I’m hoping to mail off the package in about a week so please try to respond by March 25.

I talk with Gary every day and his frustration is heart-breaking. A few weekends ago he went to Barbara’s house and stayed overnight. I expected that he would have enjoyed it since he at least was out of the Assisted Living House and in a real home. I asked him if he had a good time and was surprised when he said “no.” I asked why not and he simply said “There’s no reality there.” Yesterday morning I told him I planned to send this email out to all of his friends and asked him if he had anything he wanted to say. “Tell them I love them,” was his response.

Thank you so much for your time and concern,
Michael Intriere”

“STROKE IDENTIFICATION:

During a BBQ, a friend stumbled and took a little fall – she assured everyone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics). She said she had just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes. [However...] she had suffered a stroke at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps she would be with us today. Some don’t die; they end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead. A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke…totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough.

RECOGNIZING A STROKE: Remember the ‘3’ steps: STR. Read and Learn! Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke. Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:

S *Ask the individual to SMILE.

T *Ask the person to TALK and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (coherently) (i.e., “It sure is sunny out today.”)

R *Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.

If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call the emergency number immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.

P.S. STICK OUT YOUR TONGUE *Another sign of a stroke is this: ask the person to stick out his tongue. If the tongue is crooked – if it goes to one side or the other – that is also an indication of a stroke.”

JEFFREY VALLANCE – discussion
“Los Angeles-based artist Jeffrey Vallance’s work encompasses object-making, installation, performance, curating and writing. Critics have described his work as an indefinable cross-pollination of many disciplines. Examples of this practice include such projects as burying a frozen hen (Blinky the Friendly Hen, 1978) at a pet cemetery in California, traveling throughout Polynesia in search of the origin of the myth of Tiki, having an audience with the King of Tonga, creating a Richard Nixon Museum, installing an exhibit aboard a tugboat in the Västerbotten Maritime Museum in Umeå, Sweden, curating shows in the fabulous museums of Las Vegas, such as the Liberace Museum, Debbie Reynolds Casino, Cranberry Museum and the Clown Museum, and initiating a campaign for “Preserving America’s Cultural Heritage,” a federal bill that would establish a benefit fund for all living visual artists in the United States. Vallance will discuss his body of work from the last twenty-five years as well as the works on display in ‘Nine Lives’.”

“It Came From Kuchar” (Jennifer M. Kroot, USA, 2009, 86 min.)
“Documents the life and cinema of the twin maestros of B-movie glamour and sleaze, George and Mike Kuchar. Known in the 1960s as the “8mm Mozarts,” the Kuchars rose to fame in the American underground movement with their unique brand of campy no-budget films they created as Bronx teenagers. Their films such as HOLD ME WHILE I’M NAKED and SINS OF THE FLESHAPOIDS – filled with alien abduction, seedy Hollywood glamour, robots, and toilet humour – influenced an entire generation of filmmakers. Pushing beyond their better-known thrills and spills of yesteryear, this immensely entertaining film illuminates their singular life story and what keeps them making brilliantly insane pictures yet today. An all-star lineup of commentators includes John Waters, Atom Egoyan, Guy Maddin, Gerard Mangala and B. Ruby Rich. You’ll be sure to leave the cinema with a renewed love of film and an appreciation of the Kuchars’ generous, kooky spirits.”

“Guest curated by Jerry Robinson, part of the original Batman team and a lifelong professional cartoonist. Through never-before-exhibited art and objects culled from private and institutional collections, the exhibition explores the early years of the comic book format and the genesis of the Superhero as cultural icon. Objects on view include rare vintage artwork and books, 1940s Hollywood movie serials, and colorful interactive displays, including a drawing studio, newsstand, vintage Batmobile ride, and stations that allow children to dress up as Superheroes via a quick costume change in a telephone booth. In addition, the Skirball has organized an exclusive companion exhibition, Lights, Camera, Action: Comic Book Heroes of Film and Television. Robinson will give a curator’s talk on ZAP! POW! BAM! on Thursday, March 5, at 8:00 p.m. An artist on the Batman series, Robinson is credited with creating the first enduring comic book villain, The Joker, and naming Robin, Batman’s crime-fighting, “boy wonder” companion.”

GINA OSTERLOH – “Shooting Blanks”
“Building upon her use of restrained serial performances and gesture, the photographs in Shooting Blanks mark a pivotal shift in Gina Osterloh’s arc of work. While previous work insisted upon the use of her own body, Shooting Blanks expands to incorporate other anonymous bodies, and “cast paper maché mannequins, as she transforms the human subject of her surreal photographs into a prop, devoid of identity.” Created during her recent Fulbright Scholar Fellowship in Manila, Osterloh obsessively cut and collaged colored office bond paper, which comes in only four colors in the Philippines – candy pink, blue, yellow and green, as well as recycled paper from a local factory in Manila. The result is unsettling images of life size rooms where Osterloh activates metaphors of camouflage beyond the language of war and makes visible the psychological and physical space that both the body and its environment occupy.”

RAY JOHNSON – “Please Add to & Return” (retrospective)
“The first large UK show of the collages and mailings of New York artist Ray Johnson (1927–1995). Johnson used radical means to construct and distribute images, inadvertently inventing the ‘mail art movement’. He made art out of social life – both real and imagined – gathering celebrities, the art world, and friends into his work. His influence on twentieth century art far exceeds the recognition he receives. ‘Ray Johnson. Please Add to & Return’ will represent Johnson’s mailings, objects he regarded as gifts and thus contrary to the market, equally with the collage works he made for gallery exhibition in the sixties and seventies. Also included will be the collages he subjected to a seemingly endless process of reworking and overlaying, which were found signed with multiple dates and neatly arranged in his house at the time of his death.”

LAURIE ANDERSON – “From the Air: Two Installations”
The title piece, “From the Air”, uses a series of 3D projections, a technique Anderson has employed since the 1970s, to create a story about the artist and her dog. The second installation, “Aleph”, projects sound electronically into the gallery space, focusing the sound to make it seemingly emanate from midair. Originally commissioned for the Contemporary Jewish Museum in San Francisco, the text for Aleph is inspired by the unspeakable nature of this Hebrew letter, and the installation examines the unconscious process of putting ideas into words.”

“Rex Bruce gave up his car and spent two years riding public transportation recording images of the L.A. sky-scape as a meditation on the climate crisis. he camera is always aimed towards that which daily absorbs tons of greenhouse gas: the atmosphere. Stills and video are shot through dirty windows of buses traversing Hollywood and central L.A. and composited at different frame rates, compression levels, resolutions and varied states of digital degeneration. The resultant damage is visually appealing and painterly in texture and form while generating an atmosphere of technological and urban overkill, Los Angeles style.”

The haunting display of ransacked, snow-covered rooms inhabited by wind-blown party streamers suggests both loneliness and celebration.”

TERRY BRAUNSTEIN – “Station Identification” (exhibition, 1982-present)
“At a moment when many artists pursue increasingly theoretical work employing complex media and technology, Terry Braunstein agilely demonstrates how it is possible to create contemporary work that utilizes sophisticated digital technology and is simultaneously highly personal. Through the use of collage techniques combined with photographic manipulation, Braunstein creates fictionalized landscapes where one may encounter dinosaurs in a tropical forest wandering with modern day folks from Miami Beach or see a woman in house attire busily sweeping the interminable floor of a vast desert, (Empty Nest). In her installation “Garbage Can Man” (from the “Time Bound” series), a man in midlife with his leg in a trash can looks beyond his gate to a limited future. Features more than 50 works by Terry Braunstein including 2 installations (hitherto unseen), altered books, book-like assemblage works, sculptural works, photomontage and photo and video documentation of her public art works. There will also be an exhibition of Braunstein’s artwork at Craig Krull Gallery at Bergamot Station in Santa Monica running from April 11-May 16, 2009.”

Hello unto you.

My group Dys- appears at this endlessly worthwhile manifestation of the Los Angeles Free Music Society (LAFMS) at some point during this coming weekend; we’ve got a track on the coming “Blorp Esette Gazette” CD. No idea when that’s due out – no idea when we’re going to appear at Otis, for that matter. Likely we’ll be pushing around time and amplifying its cries in one way or another. Time, as they say, will tell.

FEBRUARY 21 – 22
Los Angeles Free Music Society (LAFMS) – “Telethon Revisited”
“Restaging of the 1977 performance Telethon Returns organized by LAFMS co-founder Joe Potts, an Otis student at the time. As in the original, the goal of Telethon Revisited is not to raise money – rather it is to waste time by playing music, performing sonic experiments, and (like other better-known telethons) attempting to keep viewers entertained. Staged at Otis over a 24-hour period, Telethon Revisited will feature alumni of the influential experimental music collective LAFMS improvising with friends, students, and whoever happens to drop in, including stalwarts of the Los Angeles art and experimental music scenes such as Liz Young, Mike Kelley, Mitchell Brown, and Albert Ortega. In a decidedly twenty-first century update, Telethon Revisited will be streamed live on the web and will also be shown on a large screen TV in the Otis Student Lounge. The program will begin at noon on Friday, February 21, and will end at noon on Saturday, February 22, 2009. Influenced by conceptual art and warped by the strange music of the 70s, Potts, an Otis Alum (‘77), originally presented Telethon Returns, a send-up of a telethon, in which invitees “wast[ed] a specific amount of time in a specific space. Instead of counting money, [they] kept track of how much time had passed on a display board.” There were no scheduled events; rather, the five-day happening simply unfolded with no predetermined outcome. In the 1977 staging, performances and “non-performances” were improvised by friends, students and whoever happened to be in the vicinity of Otis, then across the street from MacArthur Park in downtown Los Angeles. The noise group Airway played, and the pioneering synth-punk outfit Screamers presented an impromptu performance. Members of Le Forte Four and Doo-Dooettes, LAFMS-related bands, also performed and “non-performed.” This 2009 update will feature a unique gathering of artists and musicians; appearances by several LAFMS-related groups and Otis Alumni are anticipated, including a rare performance by noise music pioneers Airway (Chip Chapman, Dennis Duck, Juan Gomez, Rick Potts, Joe Potts, Tom Recchion, Vetza) plus sets by Smegma (Dennis Duck, Ace Farren Ford, Tom Recchion, Jackie Stewart, Rick Stewart), Solid Eye (Joseph Hammer, William Leavitt, Rick Potts) and Extended Organ (Mike Kelley, Paul McCarthy, Fredrik Nilsen, Joe Potts, Tom Recchion). As in 1977, there is no set agenda, no predetermined “set list,” no guarantees of who will actually play or when, and no preconceived ideas. Just come to Otis or open your browser and see what happens.”

“Iconic Mexican musician Jorge Reyes died of a heart attack on Saturday, February 7, 2009, at his recording studio. Reyes was 57. A leading figure in contemporary Mexican music, “He was one of the most interesting musicians in Mexico’s contemporary scene,” said Spanish arts presenter Yolanda Agudo. “He played prehispanic and native music mixed with the latest technology.” Reyes’ body of work included world music, electronica, jazz, progressive rock, and a new genre he created, which he called tloque nahuaque, which consisted in using his body as a musical instrument, while at the same time performing harmonic chants.
Reyes was born in 1952 in Uruapan, in the Mexican state of Michoacán. He studied flute at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM). During the 1960s he studied classical music, jazz and electronic music in Germany. Later he traveled to India, where he learned Hindustani and Tibetan music. Back in Mexico, Reyes formed two seminal rock bands, Al Universo and Nuevo México, which combined rock music with preHispanic musical instruments such as the teponaztle log drums as well as turtle and snail shells. In 1980, Reyes and Armando Suárez founded Chac Mool, an essential Mexican progressive rock band. Reyes recorded four albums with the group and played flute and guitar. After Chac Mool disbanded, Reyes began a prolific solo career. He collaborated with other music innovators, such as American synthesist Steve Roach and Spanish ambient guitar and minimalist composer Suso Saiz.

His concerts were ritualistic prehispanic ceremonies, where he combined electronic instruments, body sounds and prehispanic musical instruments. His annual Día de Muertos concerts at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México were symbolic events that attracted numerous loyal fans. Jorge Reyes released 26 recordings; he is survived by his children Citlalli, Ridwan and Eréndira, and his wife, actress Ariane Pellicer.”

“How to safely put out a grease fire, and what you should NEVER do!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZGzbd0IvUE

This is a dramatic video (30 seconds, very short) about how to deal with a common kitchen fire: oil in a frying pan. At the Fire Fighting Training School they would demonstrate this with a deep-fat fryer set on the fire field. An instructor would don a fire suit and using an 8 oz. cup at the end of a 10-foot pole, toss water onto the grease fire. The results got the attention of the students. The water, being denser than oil, sinks to the bottom where it instantly becomes superheated and turns into steam. The explosive force of the steam blows the burning oil up and out. On the open field, it became a thirty-foot-high fireball that resembled a nuclear blast. Inside the confines of a kitchen, the fire ball hits the ceiling and fills the entire room. Also, do not throw sugar or flour on a grease fire. One cup of either creates the explosive force of two sticks of dynamite. This is a powerful message.”

1 of last 1906 SF quake survivors dies at 106
The Associated Press
Posted: 02/05/2009 03:56:17 PM PST

“SAN FRANCISCO—Herbert Hamrol, one of the last survivors of the earthquake that leveled San Francisco in 1906, has died. He was 106. Hamrol died Wednesday at Seton Medical Center in Daly City, a hospital spokeswoman said. His death came less than a month after he celebrated his birthday with a big bash at a steakhouse. The party was just Hamrol’s style, said friends and co-workers. He smoked cigars into his 90s, and told whoever wanted to know that his secret to a long life was “wild women and good liquor,” said Janine Barrett, a manager at San Francisco Andronico’s Market.

Hamrol worked stocking shelves and greeting customers at the upscale grocery store until January—a job he took after retiring as a grocer in 1967. “He still came in twice a week—took the BART and the bus to work from Daly City, and walked,” Barrett said. “He was very independent.” Hamrol was a regular at commemorations of the Great Quake of 1906, spinning stories about how he escaped a crumbling building in his mother’s arms. “She carried me in her left arm and used her right hand to grab the stair rail,” Hamrol, who was 3 when his family fled their South of Market flat, told The Associated Press on the earthquake’s 99th anniversary.

Last April 17, Hamrol was the lone survivor to attend the annual commemoration of the cataclysmic quake and fire that destroyed most of the city. He arrived in style, riding in an immaculate vintage car and saying he would attend this year’s anniversary, “God, willing.” “You’re not going to get an earthquake every day. So we celebrate the one that we had,” Hamrol said. “It was a beautiful earthquake, if you want to look at it in the glorious way.”

“Cohe(a)rence” explores compound intersections in harmonic resonance, linear multiplicity, and nodal modulation as manifestations of individual and collective real space. Real space, in relation to real time, signifies presence within multiple locations. Cohe(a)rence sounds integrative motion. The form of “Cohe(a)rence”, developed in collaboration with composer/bassist Mark Dresser, translates metaphor into specific musical materials, modulated through the conducted language, Soundpainting.”

Encompassing Conner’s major body of work over the past 50 years and will include Cosmic Ray (1961), Mongoloid (1978), The White Rose (1967), and his final work Easter Morning (2008). Longtime friend and co-conspirator Dennis Hopper will be on hand both nights to introduce the programs, along with guest of honor, Jean Conner.
