Light Industry

The Blazing World
Curated by Thomas Beard and Ed Halter

Tuesday, March 25, 2008 at 8pm
55 33rd Street, 3rd Floor
Brooklyn, NY
www.lightindustry.org

"A map of the world that does not include utopia is not worth even glancing
at, for it leaves out the one country at which humanity is always landing."
- Oscar Wilde

30/73: Coop Cinema Amsterdam, Kurt Kren, 16mm, 1973, 3 mins
Swamp, Nancy Holt and Robert Smithson, 16mm, 1971, 6 mins
Victory Over the Sun, Michael Robinson, 16mm, 2007, 12 mins
Possible Models, Jenny Perlin, 16mm, 2004, 11 mins
Wildwood Flower, Keewatin Dewdney, 16mm, 1971, 4 mins
Berenice, Michael Gitlin, 16mm, 1996, 51 mins

Light Industry's inaugural event brings together a group of films that
ponder the vicissitudes of utopian scheming and the search for new ground.
Juxtaposing the heady, exploratory optimism of the Aquarian age with the
more sobering observations of contemporary artists, The Blazing World
attempts to embrace the complexities inherent in what Light Industry sets
forth to support: the ongoing social experiment in community that undergirds
moving-image art-making.

Beginning on a reflexive note, Kurt Kren's rarity Coop Cinema Amsterdam
documents three weeks in the life of the legendary Dutch venue The Electric
Cinema, condensed into a frantic hallucination through single-frame
shooting. In Swamp, artist Nancy Holt attempts to navigate her way through a
grassy, muddy stretch of New Jersey wetlands, guided only by the sights of
her Bolex and Robert Smithson's verbal cues. Michael Robinson's Victory Over
the Sun revisits the abandoned sites of World's Fairs in the service of
subtle, sci-fi psychedelia, while Jenny Perlin's hand-drawn film Possible
Models compares the communitarian dreams of Victor Gruen, architect of the
first shopping mall, with his hypercapitalist spawn: the Mall of America,
Dubailand, and the "Freedom Ship," a proposed libertarian
tax-shelter-of-the-seas. Back on dry land, Keewatin Dewdney's Wildwood
Flower offers up a folk-crafted vision of bucolic innocence that could only
have emerged from 1971.

Anchoring the lineup, Michael Gitlin's Berenice provides a richly
psychological costumer set during the decay of an upstate New York utopian
community in the 1830s. Partially adapted from the Edgar Allen Poe tale of
the same name, blended with texts on phalansterist socialism by Charles
Fourier and letters from the Transcendentalist commune Brook Farm, Berenice
wends a tale of an old, weird America in search of new social harmonies
through visionary ideals.

Ticket Price - $6

About Light Industry

Light Industry is a new venue for film and electronic art in Brooklyn, New
York. Developed and overseen by Thomas Beard and Ed Halter, the project will
begin as a series of weekly events at Industry City in Sunset Park this
spring and summer, each organized by a different artist, critic, or curator.
Conceptually, Light Industry draws equal inspiration from the long history
of alternative art spaces in New York as well its storied tradition of
cinematheques and other intrepid film exhibitors. Through a regular program
of screenings, performances, and lectures, its goal is to explore new models
for the presentation of time-based media and foster a complex dialogue
amongst a wide range of artists and audiences within the city.

i think turpentine brothers are playing don pedro's tomorrow? go see them while you can. estrogen highs are pretty good too.

I will be at a screening of Stop-Loss during that Tues film thing

You know that post will bite you in the ass the next time you complain about the pedestrian tastes of American filmgoers.

why, cuz I'm reviewing it? Kimberly Peirce's "gay porn Iraq movie"?

I was just teasing you about seeing an Mtv films production instead of an evening of THE AVANT-GARDE even though I assumed you were reviewing it. Mostly I'm just mad that Light Industry is doing Tuesday night screenings, which I can almost never make it to.

most a-g films bore me, but I saw Oliveira shorts last night if that helps.

SAT. JULY 26 - THE A-BONES BOOZE CRUISE TO SHEA STADIUM! Get your tickets
early – 200 lucky and/or unsuspecting Met fans will be treated two a two hour sea cruise with the A-Bones providing the musical hi jinx! This is Shea Stadium’s final year and what better way to go out than with the three chord mayhem of your favorite music makers followed by a trouncing of the St. Louis Cardinals? (By the way, Billy Joel is scheduled to perform the last ever concert at Shea. In an act of mutual respect, we will not perform any songs by the Piano Man and he will lay off our beloved Benny Joy repertoire.) Last A-Bones brush with baseball? Roger Clemons and Red Sox teammates tanked up at Washington DC’s 15 Minute Club while the A-Bones serenaded them with the gift of song. Everyone who buys a ticket gets seats in the same section at Shea Stadium. Do not miss this event! GO GO GO FOR JOHAN SANTANA’S PLACE!!!

Everyone who buys a ticket gets seats in the same section at Shea Stadium.

Description

Lo these many years, over hill and dale, cascading dervishlike through the mists of space and lesser outfits, spazz-murderers the Bunnybrains continue to vomit forth their high-test noise and antagonism. Wake us from our cryogentic sleep when the world wises up and puts them in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame."

Dear Friends,

I'd like to invite you to two upcoming performances this weekend. The
amazing Daisy Press will be singing my work Requiem for K.V. (yes, the
K.V. is Kurt Vonnegut and yes, he wrote the words) for soprano and
live electronics on both concerts.

The first concert, on Friday night, is in Brooklyn at a space called
Death by Audio and will be part of a concert hosted by Grenzenlos, a
new music ensemble based in New York, Hambourg and Syndey. The concert
will also feature Stockhausen's Mikrophonie 1, Kee-Yong Chong's
Metamorphosis IV and other works by Giacinto Scelsi, Lukas Ligeti, and
Steve Reich

The second, on Saturday night is in Manhattan at the Hungarian
Cultural Center in SoHo, which is with the new music ensemble I
co-direct, Red Light New Music, and features brand new works by my
colleagues Scott Wollschleger, Vincent Raikehl, Liam Robinson, and
Reiko Fueting.

Both concerts are part of a two-week long festival of contemporary
music going on right now in New York called The Hi-Fi New Music
Festival (http://www.hifimusicfestival.org/), which was organized by
Michael Ibrahim and Adam Mirza, two great forces working in new music
right now. All of the details are below. I hope you can make it out!

Satuday May 3rd 7 and 9pm JAPANESE FILM NIGHT

Directed by Tujiko Noriko
1. Sand And Mini Hawaii (52 min)
2. Sun (76 min)

Featuring music by <VAMPILLIA>
Most brutal, fun orchestral band in the world!!!

both at secret project robot metropolitan and river street downtown williamsburg

Krallice was by far the act that impressed me the most. Made up of members of Behold… the Arctopus and Orthrelm, they hit the crowd with a constant stream of fast black metal /screamo, full of tense melodies and sparse on vocals. I’m dying to get ahold of these guys’ debut when it comes out in July. By the time Behold… hit the stage I was a bit worn out, so my mental notes are a bit lacking, but I will say these guys are clearly masters of their instruments. They play some insanely technical stuff with what appears to be such incredible ease. All in all, a great show.

^ anyone see this?
