A victim of his own anger, the Kid is a Minneapolis musician on the rise with his band, the Revolution, escaping a tumultuous home life through music. While trying to avoid making the same mistakes as his truculent father, the Kid navigates the club scene and a rocky relationship with a captivating singer, Apollonia. But another musician, Morris, looks to steal the Kid’s spotlight — and his girl. Credits: TheMovieDb.

New York University

20 Cooper Sq. #NYC

Opening Reception:

Thursday, September 7, 2023, 5 - 7:30pm

Reposted from @nyucbvc The Center for Black Visual Culture presents an exhibition that amplifies visual narratives of rest for global Black people. In a selection of artworks that span #photography, #painting, and #newmedia, the curators underscore Black rest as a radical act of resistance. We invite you to our new space at 20 Cooper Square to experience artwork in which Black Rest resists, revives, and replenishes.

More info: cbvc.nyu.edu

Reposted from @cmxnr Let’s talk about rest. 🫂 Earlier this summer, the NYU Center for Black Visual Culture (@nyucbvc) invited an intimate group of organizers, curators, scholars, and artists to engage in the Black Rest Project in Venice during @labiennale. A car-free place of connecting islands and bridges, by design, the cityscape prompted our collective slow down. Together we considered how organizations and ways of being uphold extractive systems where the value of a person is determined by how much they produce. Inspired by Rest is Resistance: A Manifesto, by Tricia Hersey of @thenapministry, new frameworks, language, collaborations, and alternative models emerged as equanimous paths forward.

Join us on this ongoing journey, and namely on September 7 in New York for the Center’s fall exhibition: Rest is Power. In a selection of artworks that span photography, painting, and new media, the curators underscore Black rest as a radical act of resistance. Among the 30 astonishing participants, Miami-based artists and #cmxnr collaborators @corneliustulloch and Chris Friday (@_kinyobi_) will exhibit alongside @carriemaeweems and Gordon Parks.

Overwhelming gratitude to our fellow Black Rest Project committee members and to guiding lights Dr. Deborah Willis (@debwillisphoto) and Dr. Joan Morgan (@joanmorgan).

This photograph by Season Four artist Lisa Leone (@thereallisaleone) of Joan in her element in Miami Beach will also be on view at Rest is Power.

A poignant 'Twilight' explores the LA riots

LOS ANGELES (News4usonline) – There were a couple of things that triggered the Los Angeles riots in 1992. You had a Black motorist getting the snot beat out of him by four white Los Angeles police officers after a routine traffic stop. This incident blew the already simmering tension between law enforcement and the Black community right out of the water. The beatdown of Rodney King at the hands of those sworn to serve and to protect generated outrage both nationally and globally as footage of that fateful night was caught on videotape.

From L to R: Lovensky Jean-Baptiste, Jeanne Sakata, Lisa Reneé Pitts, Sabina Zúñiga Varela, and Hugo Armstrong in “Twilight: Los Angeles, 1992” at Center Theatre Group / Mark Taper Forum March 8 through April 9, 2023. Photo by Craig Schwartz Photography This was in 1991. Black people were angry. Folks were ready to tear things up then as the friction between the police and the Black community hit a low point. Adding to that inferno was the unjustified killing of a Black teenager by a local grocer over a bottle of orange juice in South Los Angeles only a couple of weeks after King found himself being pummeled by wildly swung batons wielded like Thor’s hammer. The murder of Latasha Harlins by Soon Ja Du and the fact she did not receive any jail time for shooting the teenager in the back of the head burned a hole in the relationship long forged between the Black and Korean communities. It was also a premeditated and contributing factor to the riots of 1992, an ugly upheaval that would cost Los Angeles more than $1 billion in property damage. With the city on edge and Los Angeles teetering on revolt, the acquittal of Timothy Wind, Sgt. Stacey Koon, Theodore Briseno, and Laurence Powell was the final straw to break the Black community’s back. Kindness would have to take a backseat to disgust. Rage was now the champion over humility. The official date or anniversary of the Los Angeles riots is April 29, 1992. The jury’s verdict of the four police officers sent Los Angeles to a point of almost no return. For those who can remember, the rioting became five days of mayhem, chaos, and utter destruction. Actor Anna Deavere Smith knows firsthand what that period was like. Drawing from more than 300 interviews, Smith first put together a one-woman show three decades ago about the unrest. Today, Smith is reliving her one-woman show in the form of a cast of five people in “Twilight: Los Angeles, 1992,” playing at the Mark Taper Forum through April 9 in downtown Los Angeles. “Being asked by Gordon Davidson to move through the embers of the Los Angeles uprising was a watershed moment in my life as an artist and as a human being,” Smith said. “The can do must do spirit of Gordon, the entire institution and the community, sparked something I had never experienced and have not experienced since. Center Theatre Group provided a way for me, in tandem with other drama professionals and with local intellectuals/activists, to respond to the civic disaster through theatre.”

From L to R: Hugo Armstrong, Sabina Zúñiga Varela, Lovensky Jean-Baptiste, Jeanne Sakata, and Lisa Reneé Pitts in “Twilight: Los Angeles, 1992” at Center Theatre Group / Mark Taper Forum March 8 through April 9, 2023. Photo by Craig Schwartz Photography “Twilight: Los Angeles, 1992,” traces back to the pivotal moments that would eventually lead Los Angeles down the path of seeing individuals trying to burn the city down and create an atmosphere of criminality, including looting. Adding a layer of depth to the play that resonates deeply are the videos of the shooting of Harlins and the King episode that is played to the audience. The visual campaign of those two dramatic moments of American history serves as a stark reminder of what led to the riots in the first place. Both videos are raw and unflinching. Both hit hard like a Mike Tyson uppercut. The stage play, directed by Gregg T. Daniel, unabashedly hone in on the video beating of King and footage of young Harlins being killed. But the actors make all things go with stellar performances.   Hugh Armstrong, Lovensky Jean-Baptiste, Lisa Rene Pitts, Jeanne Sakata, and Sabrina Zuniga are dazzling on stage as they bring to life or re-create individuals who were major players in the upheaval.     Daniel praises Smith for bringing this project to life.      “This show is about such a consequential time in Los Angeles and Anna poured so much effort into making it a transformative, radical moment in theatre,” Daniel shared. “Her journalistic approach to writing revolutionized theatre when she wrote ‘Twilight,’ and I am honored to work alongside her to breathe new life into this historic and revered play.�� The Center Theatre Group, which the Mark Taper Forum falls under, has held a plethora of community engagement activities to coincide with the playing of “Twilight: Los Angeles, 1992.” The next event is on April 4.

Photo by Craig Schwartz Photography April 4: Radical Hospitality: Moving towards Hope & Outwrestling Despair Dr. Cornel West tells us “Those who have never despaired have neither lived nor loved. Hope is inseparable from despair. Those of us who truly hope to make despair a constant companion whom we out-wrestle every day owing to our commitment to justice, love, and hope.” In this culminating conversation, we return to the spirit and the body to assess how each of us can cultivate a fortitude that allows us to fight the good fight. Among artistic and civil rights giants, we ask how each and every one of us can discover our role in the movement toward liberation. ACCESS Performance – 2:30 p.m., Saturday, April 8, 2023 Center Theatre Group’s ACCESS program is committed to accessibility for all audiences. CTG offers a number of services to accommodate persons requiring mobility, vision, and hearing access.

alright, poll's over. let's see how we all did.

going from the most votes to the least:

Frankenstein and his Creature: nobody actually voted for this one. which is smart because it is REAL. i don't recall the name of the scientist but if you kill them their Creature, Adapa the First, will show up the next day!

Markiplier: this one is also REAL. you can get the profile of a familiar-looking engineer and aspiring film director by the name of Mark F. Plier!

Gordon Freeman and Hideo Kojima were tied and they are both REAL. you can get profiles for the physicist Gordy Freiheit (fond of opening crates with his crowbar) and the successful (if eccentric) game developer Hijimo Kodea!

Terry Pratchett is also REAL. you can get the profile of Terence Hatchet, a prolific and beloved fantasy novelist who donates substantially to health research programs.

there was a tie for the two more vaguely worded options, but "yourself" and "Max's plant from Life Is Strange" are both REAL. if you complain to Fate enough he will send you your own profile, and on the day you temporarily take over for the plant department one of the plants you can get is a potted plant named Lisa whose profile describes them as a companion to a photography student.

and the two dueling titans, Elon Musk and Waluigi...i MADE ELON MUSK THE FUCK UP, but Waluigi is REAL. you can get a mustachioed forklift driver by the name of Luigi Wah!

Third Thursday events and exhibitions for October 17

The next Third Thursday — the monthly evening of art in Athens, Georgia — is scheduled for Thursday, October 17, from 6 to 9 p.m. All exhibitions are free and open to the public. This month will offer four events in addition to the exhibitions. None of the venues will be closed.

This Third Thursday announces the addition of a new venue: Creature Comforts Brewing Co.’s CCBC Gallery. Creature Comforts’ taproom is located at 271 W. Hancock Ave., in downtown Athens; like all other Third Thursday venues, admission is free and all ages are allowed. CCBC Gallery art shows are presented by Get Artistic, Creature Comforts’ community impact program to support the arts. After its inaugural Third Thursday this month, the gallery will be dark in November and December, returning in January.

Creature Comforts Brewing Co.’s CCBC Gallery

“Creatures of the Night” — A Halloween-inspired installation of fantastical creature silhouettes designed by artist Elinor Saragoussi. Nearly a dozen of the artist’s sketches will be transformed into larger-than-life paper cut-outs that are then pasted onto Creature Comforts’ tasting room walls. Saragoussi is an illustrator, designer, textile artist and musician in Athens.

Georgia Museum of Art, University of Georgia

Lecture: Gavin Pretor-Pinney, 5:30 p.m. — In his talk, “Cloudspotting For Beginners,” Gavin Pretor-Pinney, founder of the Cloud Appreciation Society, takes you on an illustrated tour of the sky. He shows how to recognize many of the varied and beautiful cloud formations, including how various cloud types appear in works of art in the museum’s permanent collection. 

Yoga in the Galleries, 6 p.m. — Join us for a yoga class surrounded by works of art in the galleries. Led by instructors from Five Points Yoga, this program is free and open to both beginner and experienced yogis. Space is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis; tickets are available at the front desk starting at 5:15 p.m. Yoga mats provided.

On view:

“Mary Lee Bendolph: Quilted Memories” — This survey exhibition features three decades’ worth of quilts created by artist Mary Lee Bendolph. 

“Before the War: Photographs of Syria by Peter Aaron” — Peter Aaron’s photographs of Syrian monuments, many of which are now destroyed.

“Storytelling in Renaissance Maiolica” — Colorful tin-glazed earthenware from 16th-century Italy, including two new acquisitions by the museum.

“Drama and Devotion in Baroque Rome” — Paintings on loan from the Museum and Gallery at Bob Jones University that show the influence of Caravaggio, including works by Rubens, Orazio Gentileschi and Simon Vouet.

“Rachel Whiteread” — Five cast-stone sculptures by Rachel Whiteread reinterpret the artist’s earlier resin castings of the space beneath chairs.

Permanent Collection — Thirteen galleries house a large portion of the Georgia Museum of Art’s collection, including many of the 100 American paintings that made up Alfred Heber Holbrook’s founding gift.

Lamar Dodd School of Art Galleries, University of Georgia

“Kiki Kogelnik, Julia Scher, Erika Vogt, Lisa Williamson” — A group show that examines technology in relation to the human body, performance and formal representations of the female figure.

“Codified Color” — Dodd graduate students Mary Gordon, Christina Foard and Nick Abrami employ color to examine personal histories. 

“Baci from Cortona” — Celebrating 50 years of UGA in Cortona, this show features a series of photographs, both professional and personal, that document this history. 

“Immortal Beloved” — Dodd MFA candidate Robby Toles challenges authenticity as the artist’s image takes precedence over place and questions where the ‘real’ might exist if everything is performed. 

Lyndon House Arts Center

Artist Gallery talks by exhibiting watercolor artists, 6 p.m. — Diana Toma, Suzanne Hicks and Mark Willis.

On view:

“Elemental Clayscapes by Love Hawk & Mendelwhite” — A pottery collaboration between David Hale and Marci White.

“Georgia Watercolor Society Member Exhibition 2019” — The Georgia Watercolor Society was formed in March 1975 to advance the art of watercolor painting while contributing to the cultural atmosphere and standards of the state of Georgia.

His coverage of the Southeast’s rich and varied music scene includes published portraits of the Drive-By Truckers, R.E.M. and the Elephant Six collective. Thrasher won the Georgia Author of the Year award in 2018 for his photography book “Athens Potluck,” a tender and encyclopedic look at the Athens music scene. Curated by Lauren Fancher.

The Classic Center

Opening reception during Third Thursday, with light refreshments and a cash bar.

On view:

“Good Vibrations” — Taking a note from the Beach Boys, this show celebrates the end of the summer easing us on a smooth, harmonious, feel good transition into fall. Brittainy Lauback photographs cruise life, capturing the seascapes and portraits aboard a Carnival ship. Warren Slater draws from his Australian upbringing and interest in Aboriginal mark-making to create his pulsating pointillist landscapes picturing beaches and surf culture. Hannah Betzel’s vivid abstractions vibrate almost musically, conjuring images of the sea.

“Building Facades” — In Gallery II, on the second floor, Mike Landers’ solo exhibition of sophisticated, symmetric, minimally composed photographs will take you down memory lane. Images of Barnett’s Newsstand, Helix and the Gap will make you nostalgic for nights wandering downtown Athens of the late 1990s and early 2000s and make you realize how much has changed.

--

Third Thursday was established in 2012 to encourage attendance at Athens’ established art venues through coordination and co-promotion by the organizing entities. Rack cards promoting Third Thursday and visual art in Athens are available upon request. This schedule and venue locations and regular hours can be found at 3thurs.org.

Huguette Caland, Untitled, 1970, oil on linen, 35 x 51 inches (90 x 129 cm)

POLARITIES: September 6 – October 14, 2018

TOTAH presents Polarities, a group exhibition spanning film, photography, sculpture, drawing, and painting, as well as more interstitial media. Polarities features 46 artists, both historical and living.

The idea of the exhibition began with a black and white photograph taken in Detroit by Brandon Ralph. Extending upon the visual themes captured in this work, Polarities overlaps, combines, and gently teases out the dichotomies between black and white scales of coloration, welcoming contrast as much as fulfillment in extremes.

Contributions by Huguette Caland and R.B. Kitaj capture an anarchic grace and socially- liberated performativity. Caland’s Untitled (1970) oil on linen work seems to line up the faces of potential suitors like dresses on a rack. While R.B. Kitaj’s oil on charcoal work Primo (1969) stands out as bridging a long-standing continuity between the concerns of utopian protest from the 1960s and the tenor of political realities experienced today. Contrasting vulnerability and nakedness with the militaristic presence of General Franco, Kitaj’s Primo humorously embarrasses the purported authority of officialdom and power.

Mel Bochner’s painting Obliterate similarly dramatizes the conflict between official representations and the social praxis that would undermine them. The painting features the titular word “obliterate”, drippingly withdrawn from legibility. As a counterpoint to Bochner’s black on black construct, Enrico Castellani’s Superficie Bianca (or “white surface”) signals a withdrawal from the imagistic conventions associated with painting, lingering somewhere between the tactility of sculpture and the formal interests of abstraction. Helen Pashgian’s sphere, meanwhile, marks the first time she has used black dye in this particular body of work since the beginning of her career.

Playing off the idea of antipodal extremes creatively informing each other, Polarities demonstrates not only the overarching thematic of black and white colored schemata, but showcases the unique way in which coloration can become an instrument toward the destabilization of contrasts.

In the screening room, Gordon Matta-Clark’s performance-oriented film Tree Dance (1971) will run throughout the exhibition.

Artists featured in Polarities: Eve Aschheim, David Austen, Robert Baras, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Lisa Beck, Isak Berbic, Mel Bochner, Alighiero Boetti, Eric Brown, Alberto Burri, Huguette Caland, Enrico Castellani, Vija Celmins, Anne Collier, George Condo, Dan Covert, Gino De Dominicis, Adeline de Monseignat, Mara De Luca, Aleksandar Duravcevic, TR Ericsson, Alison Hall, Keith Haring, Adam Henry, Sam Jablon, R.B. Kitaj, David Klamen, Sherrie Levine, Sol Lewitt, Gordon Matta-Clark, Matthew Metzger, Jonathan Owen, Luca Pancrazzi, Helen Pashgian, Pablo Picasso, Nathlie Provosty, Brandon Ralph, Paula Rego, Ad Reinhardt, Robert Ryman, Kenny Scharf, Alex Sewell, Joel Shapiro, Cindy Sherman, Beuford Smith, and Andy Warhol.

When We Were Young

To the Blue-eyed Angel. We met fifteen years ago when I moved my stuff into the NYU dorm room next to yours at Senior House. You called us fast friends. I like to think it was more. We lived on nothing but the excitement of finding ourselves through music, photography (I couldn’t stop taking pictures of you), hanging out in Washington Square Park, and all the weird things we did to make money. I learned more about myself that year than any other. Yet, somehow, it all fell apart. We lost touch the summer after graduation when I went to South America to work for National Geographic. When I came back, you were gone. I didn’t see you again until a month ago. You were rocking back on your feet, balancing on that thick yellow line that runs along the subway platform. I didn’t know it was you until it was too late, and then you were gone. Again. You said my name; I saw it on your lips. I tried to will the train to stop, just so I could say hello. After seeing you, all of the memories came flooding back, and now I’ve spent the better part of a month wondering what your life is like. I might be totally out of my mind, but would you like to get a drink with me and catch up on the last decade and a half? D.
