Searching For the Wrong Eyed Jesus

WED. 2/12 @7:30

The first of a 4 part documentary series {EXTREME SOUTHERN CULTURE}

curated by Carl Hanni (*Carl’s Cine Club)

Searching For the Wrong Eyed Jesus, Andrew Douglas’ deeply evocative 2003 film follows the idiosyncratic Americana musician Jim White (who records for David Byrne’s Luaka Bop label) on a fantastical journey through the American south. White muses on religion and culture and plays some music while making memorable stops in a Pentecostal church, a prison, a coalmine, local bars, cafes and much more. White’s on-screen pals include Harry Crews, The Handsome Family, Johnny Dowd and David Eugene Edwards.

ROBERT FRANK’S Me and My Brother

SAT. 2/8 @ 7:30

 The first feature film by acclaimed photographer, Robert Frank is a portrait of the relationship between poet, Peter Orlovsky and his brother Julius, a catatonic schizophrenic. Orlovsky and mentor/lover Alan Ginsburg take Julius around the late 60’s counter-cultural scene until one day, a disappearance happens that alters the course of the film. This fascinating film-within-a-film (featuring a young Christopher Walken in the role of the director) blends fiction and reality to create a disorienting trip in which the idea of documentary truth is called into question.2meandmybrother

DEGENERATE VIDEO ART LOUNGE

WED. 2/5 @7:30

Sick and twisted videos by (the late great) Mike Kelley: Blind Country, Paul McCarthy: Pinocchio Pipenose Household Dilemna and Ryan Trecartin: Temp Stop.  Tonight’s visceral shock-schlock exists in an alternate landscape beyond the “normal” and “desirable”. The videos are queasily captivating, unlocking our cravings for brilliant social commentary rooted in celebratory corruption and gorgeous perversion. $1 Yoohoo and pork rinds.1mikekelley1trecartin

BILL DIETZ’S “Tutorial Pieces”

 

EV SOUND SALON SERIES <)))

(artist in person)
Over the past 10 years, Berlin based composer Bill Dietz’s work has explored the everyday use and performance of listening. For Exploding View, he will present a new text-based work modulating the relationship between audience and space at the threshold of audibility. At once an acoustic survey of the gallery and its surroundings, the work is also an experiment in audible intimacy.
