Michael Snow’s “Flight Stop” (1979) is still the true visual identity of the Toronto Eaton Centre. This despite CF slapping their logo everywhere and slowly making it all a bit more humdrum. • • • #igerstoronto #toronto #ontario #canada #urban_toronto #torontophotography #eatoncentre #cadillacfairview #torontoeatoncentre #cf #publicart #michaelsnow #canadageese #sculpture #flightstop #1979 (at CF Toronto Eaton Centre) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTBRoMzNJgb/?utm_medium=tumblr

Alan on WFMU

I was a guest on John Allen’s JA in the AM show on WFMU today, playing various tracks related to the Common Tones tome. It’s archived here.

Get it while it’s hot! Alan Licht’s 592-page interview compendium ‘Common Tones’ is new from @blankforms_ (and probably going to sell out fast)!⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ For the past 30 years, Licht has been a performer, programmer and chronicler of NYC’s art and music scenes. His dry wit, deep erudition and unique perspective—informed by decades of experience as a touring and recording guitarist in the worlds of experimental music and underground rock—have distinguished him as the go-to writer for profiles of adventurous artists across genres. A precocious scholar and improvisor, by the time he graduated from Vassar College in 1990 Licht had already authored important articles on minimalist composers La Monte Young, Tony Conrad and Charlemagne Palestine, and recorded with luminaries such as Rashied Ali and Thurston Moore. In 1999 he became a regular contributor to @thewiremagazine while continuing to publish in periodicals ranging from the artworld glossies to underground fanzines.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Common Tones gathers a selection of never-before-published interviews, many conducted during the writing of Licht’s groundbreaking profiles, alongside extended versions of his celebrated conversations with artists, previously untranscribed public exchanges and new dialogues. Even Lou Reed, a notoriously difficult interviewee, was impressed.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Interviews with Vito Acconci, ANOHNI, Cory Arcangel, Matthew Barney, Glenn Branca, Rhys Chatham, Tony Conrad, the Dream Syndicate’s Karl Precoda, Richard Foreman, Henry Flynt, Milford Graves, Adris Hoyos, Ken Jacobs, Jutta Koether, Christian Marclay, Phill Niblock, Alessandra Novaga, Tony Oursler, Lou Reed, Kelly Reichardt, The Sea and Cake, Suicide, Michael Snow, Greg Tate, Tom Verlaine, Rudy Wurlitzer and Yo La Tengo’s Georgia Hubley & Ira Kaplan.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ @irvifran #alanlicht #commontones #michaelsnow @avantgroidd #tonyconrad #henryflynt @therealylt #karlprecoda @officialalanvega #christianmarclay @loureedofficial #tomverlaine @tonyoursler @theseaandcake #matthewbarney @arcangelsurfware #kenjacobs #juttakoether @anohni #richardforeman #glennbranca @rhysrhythmchatham #phillniblock #rudywurlitzer #kellyreichardt @alessandra_novaga #adrishoyos #milfordgraves https://www.instagram.com/p/CSMYJHVM1LP/?utm_medium=tumblr

Walking Woman record by the Legendary Artist Michael Snow. When the Canadian artist Michael Snow left Toronto for New York in 1962, he had already established a reputation as an artist whose carreer was on the rise. When he returned to Toronto in 1971, that reputation had extended to Europe and the United States, and had been earned in a variety of artistic disciplines, including painting, filmmaking and avant-garde music. Snow was an aesthetic polymath and in New York he was able to investigate the discrete areas of the times, and not a reflection of divisible categories in Snow’s own artistic sensibility. As he said in 1967, “My Paintings are done by a filmmaker, sculpture by a musician, films by a musician, music by a sculptor … sometimes they all work together.” The primary tool Snow used to effect that aesthetic migration was the outlined silhouette of a walking woman, “just a drawing,” he said, and “not a very good one either!” The “Walking Woman Works,” which he first exhibited in Toronto in 1962 at the Isaacs Gallery, occupied his attention for a significant portion of the years he spent in New York. She was–and remains–an image with the iconographic potency of Wesselmann’s Great American Nudes and de Kooning’s toothy women, although his image is neither fierce nor consistently eroticized. But Snow was able to use the walking woman in innumerable pieces, some 200 in total, which he made before retiring her in his 1967 film, * Wavelength. *”The Walking Woman” was a visual embodiment of the subject in Pound’s poem, “Portrait d’une Femme;” an encounter with her would allow you to “take strange gain away.” Viewers of her multiple incarnations in paintings, sculptures and photographs, and on sweatshirts and posters were variously bewildered and charmed. Snow placed her cut-out black plywood form in different urban contexts in Toronto and New York, and then photographed the reactions of passersby. His assessment of the effect these “often beautiful compositions” had on people is telling: they were “neurotic, erotic, aesthetic.” #Michaelsnow #canadianlegend #artist #postmodernist #Toronto #thesix #todot #canadianart #Torontonian #torontoart #jazz https://www.instagram.com/p/CcwAx1GpRsA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

BACK IN THE BOOKSHOP: ON THE EVE OF THE FUTURE : SELECTED WRITINGS ON FILM BY ANNETTE MICHELSON (2017) • The celebrated critic and film scholar Annette Michelson saw the avant-garde filmmakers of the 1950s and 1960s as radically redefining and extending the Modernist tradition of painting and sculpture, and in essays that were as engaging as they were influential and as lucid as they were learned, she set out to demonstrate the importance of the underappreciated medium of film. On the Eve of the Future collects more than thirty years’ worth of those essays, focusing on her most relevant engagements with avant-garde production in experimental cinema, particularly with the movement known as American Independent Cinema. • This volume includes the first critical essay on Marcel Duchamp’s film Anemic Cinema, the first investigation into Joseph Cornell’s filmic practices, and the first major explorations of Michael Snow. It offers an important essay on Maya Deren, whose work was central to that era of renewal and reinvention, seminal critiques of Stan Brakhage, Hollis Frampton, and Harry Smith, and overviews of Independent Cinema. Gathered here for the first time, these texts demonstrate Michelson’s pervasive influence as a writer and thinker and her role in the establishment of cinema studies as an academic field. • The postwar generation of Independents worked to develop radically new terms, techniques, and strategies of production and distribution. Michelson shows that the fresh new forms they created from the legacy of Modernism became the basis of new forms of spectatorship and cinematic pleasure. • “Annette Michelson is one of the most brilliant minds that has ever turned its focus on the art of cinema. It's a blessing to have her illuminating, inspiring, and informative pieces available in this volume.” —Jonas Mekas, filmmaker and writer • Available via our website and in the bookshop. • #worldfoodbooks #annettemichelson #themitpress #octoberbooks #marcelduchamp #stanbrakhage #hollisframpton #harrysmith #jacksmith #mayaderen #josephcornell #michaelsnow #jeanlucgodard #martharosler #andywarhol (at WORLD FOOD BOOKS)
