“Here’s an obit for the father of Dez Cadena, who sang and played guitar with Black Flag and other bands.
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/21/arts/music/21cadena.html? ref=todayspaper
Dez is a friend, but I’ve never known anything about his father, or his father’s work. It occurs to me that this might be an excellent example of someone who influenced the drift of time in a real way.
Hats off.”
Enrico Donati, Surrealist Artist, Dies at 99
By FRANK J. PRIAL NY Times
Published: April 26, 2008
“Enrico Donati, an Italian-born American painter and sculptor considered by many in the art world to be the last of the Surrealists, died on Friday at his home in Manhattan. He was 99. The cause was complications of injuries sustained in a taxi accident in July, said David Oxman, a spokesman for the family.
Mr. Donati survived Surrealism and moved through other art movements, including Constructivism and Abstract Expressionism, and became a successful owner of a perfume company. After receiving a doctorate in what would now be called sociology at the University of Pavia in 1929, he first turned to music. Unhappy with the state of musical education in Milan under the Fascists, he moved to Paris and for a time composed avant-garde music in a Montmartre garret. He developed an interest in anthropology and in 1934 traveled to the American Southwest and Canada to study and collect American Indian artifacts. After dabbling in commercial art and printing in New York, he resolved to commit himself to painting and returned to Paris, where he was drawn to the flourishing Surrealist movement.
When war broke out in 1939, Mr. Donati returned to New York for good, along with his first wife, Claire Javel, and their two daughters, Marina Donati and Sylvaine Mahis of Paris, who survive him. He was divorced from Ms. Javel in 1965 and married Adele Schmidt, who also survives him, as well as a daughter from his second marriage, Alexandra Donati of New York; five grandchildren; and nine great-grandchildren.
Mr. Donati attended the New School for Social Research and in 1942 had his first one-man show at the New School’s gallery. His work impressed the art historian Lionello Venturi, who introduced him to the writer André Breton, often considered the father of Surrealism. Breton brought him into the circle of prominent European artists, many of them Surrealists, who had gathered in New York at the outset of the war. “You are one of us,” he recalled Breton saying to him. The group included Max Ernst, Salvador Dali, Yves Tanguy, Arshile Gorky, Marcel Duchamp, Giorgio de Chirico, Fernand Léger and the American sculptor Alexander Calder. “We met for lunch every day at Larré’s French restaurant on West 56th Street,” Mr. Donati later told an interviewer.
At his death, he was the only survivor of the group.
Duchamp became a particular friend. They collaborated on various projects, including the Exposition Internationale du Surrealisme at the Maeght Gallery in Paris in 1947. They devised the exposition’s program, decorating the cover of each copy with a foam rubber breast. As Surrealism faded, Mr. Donati moved on. “He reinvented himself four or five times,” said his biographer, the artist and critic Theodore F. Wolff. There was his Constructivist phase and, for a time, a focus on Abstract Expressionism. In later years, Mr. Donati became fascinated with surface and texture, mixing his paint with sand, dust, coffee grounds and, at times, the contents of his vacuum cleaner, which he mixed with pigment and glue and slathered on his canvas. “It opened up a new world for me,” he recalled in a 1968 oral history interview for the Smithsonian Institution. “I kept on using the vacuum cleaner dirt for years.”
Mr. Donati’s work is in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Guggenheim Museum and the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, the Museum of Fine Art in Houston and the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium in Brussels. Mr. Donati was for many years as engaged in the business world as he was in the world of art. In the early 1960s, he joined the board of Houbigant Inc., one of the oldest purveyors of French perfumes and eau de cologne. In 1965 he bought the company, which was privately held. In 1978 Fortune Magazine reported that as chairman and chief executive, he had “revived the sagging fortunes” of the company, then worth $50 million. His first wife was a member of the Houbigant family, Fortune said.”
Subject: new Jim Flora fine art print: The Incredible Flutist
From: Irwin Chusid

http://tinyurl.com/533t35
“The Incredible Flutist is an uncirculated 1953-54 record cover painting by Flora that was intended for a 7” RCA Victor EP. Jim Flora Art LLC is offering two fine art prints on eBay at a launch price (NOTE: one already sold). According to a purchase order discovered in the Flora archives, the work was commissioned by RCA in late 1953, but there’s no indication it was finished, accepted, or used on a commercially released EP. This painting has not previously been published or offered in any form. An alternate version appeared in the book “The Mischievous Art of Jim Flora.”
Only 20 numbered prints of this work have been produced. After the two launch prints are sold, prices will increase on edition prints sold at JimFlora.com.”
Subject: Worthwhile film I worked on, a good one, comes to L.A. this weekend
From: Tom & Cheryl Roche

“I’m an Atlanta film editor needing just a little help. A film I edited recently is opening in Los Angeles this weekend for its first run… without a lot of press. It is a stark but hopeful documentary about the civil rights battle in St. Augustine Florida in 1964.
It is an exceptional doc. Period.
The film is “Dare Not Walk Alone.” The Florida filmmaker Jeremy Dean has spent years on it, financed it with fish fry benefits and etc, as licensing this rare footage cost a mint. Even though I do music video and high-end National Geographic editing here in Atlanta, I was so moved by his determination and the unseen-for-decades footage he unearthed that I donated all my time and work for free. The civil rights saga of Selma or Little Rock has been told, and re-told. And one does seem to see the same footage these days, over and over. But some heavy shit went down in St. Augustine, and history has, oddly, hidden this tale. Andy Young was kicked and brutalized on the street during a march (it’s in the film). Dr. Martin Luther King was thrown in the back of a Florida Highway Patrol car and they threw a German shepherd dog in there with him (it’s in the film). A racist hotel manager, confronted with protesters in his pool, dumped in acid to flush them out (it’s in the film). Amazingly Jeremy even found this hotelier for an interview: still alive, still unrepentant.
The trailer is here… it does a good job of imparting our different approach: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9lh4dGMHjo
We don’t have any big PR budget, and we don’t have much in the any of review quotes, other than this: “It’s the most gritty version of civil rights history I’ve ever seen. There’s a sort of glamorous patina that sometimes gets cast over the legends of the movement, this one feels hot and painful and like reality” (Peter Miller, co-producer, “Ken Burns’ Jazz”)
and
“A POWERHOUSE OF A PICTURE – Minutely attuned to disparities of class and race…a triumph of outrage and empathy.” (Aaron Mesh, Willamette Week, Portland)
The theater is Laemmle’s Grande 4-plex, downtown, 2 blocks from the 101, in the lower level of the Mariott Los Angeles Downtown. The usual biz considerations of how it plays in its first week will determine how it rolls out elsewhere, as you know. It runs THIS Friday Apr 25 to Thursday May 1. If this doesn’t sound like your cuppa tea, but you know someone who might be on this film’s wavelength, please pass this email along. And thanks for your time and consideration.”

LUKE FOWLER / WILLIAM RABAN – conversation
“Fowler film “Bogman Palmjaguar” (2007) will be screened during the event. Luke Fowler, the 2008 recipient of the first Jarman Award, has his own unique vocabulary for playing with the documentary format in film. His recent work paints unique portraits of idiosyncratic, fascinating personalities that continually inspires it, be it a charismatic rock star or a maverick psychologist. In composing a disjointed narrative, mining archival footage, documentary photographs, scraps of sound and other found material, Fowler prises the essence of his personalities out from the composite materials of the work. His work resurrects pieces of forgotten history and weaves them back into the present. Over the last year, Fowler has made several 16mm film studies that deal with the relationship between place, image and sound. “Bogman Palmjaguar” is a portrait of a man who after a series of disturbing events became distrustful of people and withdrew into nature. Bogman describes himself as ‘the hidden cat’ and ‘wild outlaw of paradise’ and is fighting against a psychiatric diagnosis that brands him as a ‘paranoid schizophrenic’. Bogman’s early life, and the diagnosis, subsequently conditioned his relationships with others, both within and beyond the medical establishment. The decision to take legal action to remove this label is of paramount importance to him, both as a search for justice and to seek reason in the course his life has taken over the past three decades. The film was shot across two visits to Bogman’s home in a remote village in the north of Scotland. William Raban is one of Britain’s foremost avant-garde filmmakers, departing from painting in the early 1970s to filmmaking, working with expanded cinema, installations and work for television broadcast. Often described as one of the finest exponents of avant-garde landscape film, Raban’s work is known for its rigorous engagement and exploration of the formal properties of film and the artist’s immediate surroundings. His work has been exhibited internationally since the 1970s. From 1972-1976 he managed the London Filmmaker’s Co-Op workshop and published the bi-monthly Filmmaker’s Europe from 1977-81. He was also a member of the editorial board of Vertigo from 1994-2001.”

CHRISTINA KUBISCH – “On Silence” (audiovisual installation)
“Silence is a commonplace word. This is probably the reason it is not found in common dictionaries. This was still quite different in the middle of the 18th Century. Johann Heinrich Zedler devotes an article of several pages’ length to silence in his “Great Complete Universal Lexicon of all Science and Arts, Which have hitherto been Invented and Inproved by Human Reason and Intelligence”. In today’s art, however, silence plays a very great part. The American composer John Cage (1923-1992) rediscovered it for us in the 1940s. Silence is a central concept and a nucleus aspect of his aesthetics. For the sound artist Christina Kubisch (b. 1948), who lives in Berlin and teaches in Saarbrücken, the phenomenon of silence is an essential element of her creativity. Her work “On Silence”, an installation for the ear and the eye, combines prominent quotations on slence (mainly from Romanticism) with natural sounds, which, however, are products of our post-industrial age.”

GEE VAUCHER – “Introspective” (retrospective)
“Gee Vaucher worked with the avant-garde British performance group EXIT during the years of 1968 to 1972. Among EXIT members were Penny Rimbaud and Steve Ignorant, who later formed the seminal anarchist-punk band, CRASS. Vaucher then continued creating the politically charged, often horrific collages and paintings that functioned as cover art for CRASS albums and newsletters. In 1979 she also started “International Anthem: a nihilist newspaper for the living” – three issues were published featuring her political collages. As photo-montage artists Peter Kennard quoted, “By its nature, her work has previously appeared in unexpected places, giving a shock of truth. That’s been a large part of its power… Through magazines, newspapers, and especially through CRASS, her work has mainly entered into the world not through the gallery, but as part of a publication, a voice connected to other voices who have said ‘No’ to the great lie of the mass media.” Vaucher has, throughout her career, sought to break down and expose the most vile crimes of civilized society. When CRASS disbanded in 1984, she felt the need to explore other areas of work, abandoning the tightness of her more “overt” political statements in favor of a more loosely expressed personal politic. Most of her work since then has in some way been connected with the human form, intimately exploring the psychological diversities of social inter-relationships. “Introspective” features Vaucher’s work for CRASS, along with a sampling of other projects from the last forty years. She has been exhibited extensively both solo and in group shows throughout the world.”

ELLIOT BERGMAN / WARREN DEFEVER / HITOKO SAKAI – “The Silver Piano” (exhibition)
“‘The Silver Piano’ is an interactive installation / exhibition with kalimbas not only hung on the gallery walls but also with an army of electric kalimbas plugged into amplifiers for all to play. Sometimes referred to as a thumb piano (or mbira, likembe, or sanza), the basic design concept for the kalimba has been around for thousands of years. Inspired by the work of African artists Francis Bebey, Kinshasa’s Konono No.1, as well as American composers Phil Cohran, Yusef Lateef, and Stanley Cowell, three local artists have been hand-crafting electric kalimbas and have been organizing art exhibits, concerts and installations all over the world.”

OLAFUR ELIASSON – “Take Your Time”
“The first comprehensive survey in the United States of works by Olafur Eliasson, whose immersive environments, sculptures, and photographs elegantly recreate the extremes of landscape and atmosphere in his native Scandinavia, while foregrounding the sensory experience of the work itself. Drawn from collections worldwide, the presentation spans over fifteen years of Eliasson’s career. His constructions, at once eccentric and highly geometric, use multicolored washes, focused projections of light, mirrors, and elements such as water, stone, and moss to shift the viewer’s perception of place and self. By transforming the gallery into a hybrid space of nature and culture, Eliasson prompts an intensive engagement with the world and offers a fresh consideration of everyday life.”

BERND & HILLA BECHER – “Basic Forms”
“Bernd and Hilla Becher began investigating basic forms of industrial architecture in Western Europe and the United States in 1959. Their collaboration has resulted in a body of work that is immediately recognizable for its spare and systematic style, an approach that is directly indebted to August Sander’s categorization of basic social types by profession and class. Many of the Bechers early images were taken in the Siegen district, where Sander’s subjects had lived or worked half a century before.”
