Compelling interviews with notables in avant-garde cinema offer insights into moving image art--its creative processes, formative influences, and hidden psychic effects. Through interviews with George Manupelli, Chick Strand, Tom Gunning, Lynne Sachs, Jay Rosenblatt, Martha Colburn, Evan Meaney, Mike Hoolboom, Robert Nelson, and Nina Menkes,

Strange Questions

links powerful personal stories with the contemporary media-scape.

Questions addressed in this collection include:

What role does the audience play in the creative process?

Can art-making be egoless?

Is perception reality?

What is the role of intention in the creative process?

What counts as storytelling? Are experimental filmmakers telling stories a different way or doing something completely different?

What was the motive of the cave artists?

What is more important: conviction or compromise?

Is ambition based more on fear or joy?

Accolades from award-winning experimental filmmakers:

"Fialka is a damn good interviewer. His questions are sometimes so precise that it tickles and sometimes so grand and thought provoking that one feels on the edge of a new spiritual awareness." --Lynne Sachs

"Fialka asks unexpected Questions about important Ideas, eliciting Answers that can surprise even those doing the answering. My Interview with him taught me something about myself; it was a Gift." --David Gatten"Fialka's was the funniest interview I have ever had. He has developed a very wise way of triggering thoughts in the interviewee." --Leighton Pierce"Fialka's interview had me buzzing inside with thoughts and memories that his engaging questions set in motion. Super stimulation." --Larry Gottheim"I thank Gerry Fialka so much. I really enjoyed his interview with me, especially his unjaded joie de vivre, hearty laugh, and endless pursuit of knowledge sparked by social curiosity." --Phil Solomon."Gerry Fialka is a master interviewer. Working out of his natural sympathies and his erudition, Gerry cannily and cheerfully guides his interviewees along a path of Socratic inquiry that goes far deeper than the average Q & A and possibly deeper than the interviewee thought himself/herself capable of going. With Gerry at the helm, the journey really is about the destination and not just the journeying." --Fred Worden"Fialka is a meteor shower in the contemporary media arts discourse. He's blowing my mind." -- Craig Baldwin

le dejeuner noir by William Keckler Via Flickr: detail. "Le Dejeuner Sur L'Herbe." Manet sure loved black, didn't he? I think the Bass Ale logo (triangle) in his other masterpiece is one of the "longest continuous use" logos on the planet. Strange that a logo would only last a century or two. Bet that changes now. I can't not see Nike's Swoosh still being around in 2376. For good or ill.

Hyperallergic: Art F City Goes Goth for Its Benefit Bash

Joseph Keckler and the Art F City crew in their goth opera getups (image courtesy Art F City)

Fundraisers can be stuffy, painfully boring affairs … or they can be elaborate goth operas starring the performance artist Joseph Keckler. Art F City’s is, unsurprisingly, the latter.

Chances are you know Art F City as a blog, which started in 2005 as the art-related outlet for the honest, at times contrarian, voice of Paddy Johnson. “I would say that vision was about … to put it in blunt terms, speaking truth to power,” she told Hyperallergic. Over the 12 years it’s been in existence, Art F City has evolved not just in name (it was originally Art Fag City) but in mission too; it’s grown into a multi-author blog and, more recently, a nonprofit that does more than just publish articles online. In 2015, for example, Art F City organized the Stay in New York conference at the Queens Museum, focused on the eternal problem of affordable workspace for artists in the city, and before that it published an edition of digital art on USB drives.

“I like to refer to William Gibson, who has a quote about how cyberspace used to be a specific space that you went to, and now cyberspace is everted and it seeks to colonize the physical,” Johnson explained. “I consider the blog an organization that has everted, and we seek to colonize the physical.”

What has remained consistent over 12 years is Art F City’s devotion to and championing of artists. When Johnson began blogging, she “saw myself as somebody who represented the artist voice”; now, she sees the nonprofit Art F City as “a resource that helps connect the artist community” and “an organization that works towards more thoughtful practices.” It’s that organization you’ll be supporting when you shell out for a pretty reasonably priced benefit ticket ($50 off if you show up in full goth garb!) for April 18. The night will include a 20-minute performance by Keckler, who Johnson says has “the richest, craziest voice”; a photo station helmed by artist Sean Fader; an art auction; and, hopefully, as much awkward dancing as your black goth heart desires.

When: Tuesday, April 18, 6–10pm ($75 and up) Where: Collapsable Hole (55 Bethune Street, West Village, Manhattan)
