  • Kembra Pfahler Is As Wide-Ranging As It Is Productive
    72 The biography of the iconic New York artist Kembra Pfahler is as wide-ranging as it is productive. It includes formative years spent in LA’s punk scene, a decade- long ‘day-job’ as a video dominatrix, stints modelling for Playboy, Penthouse, and Hustler, she’s been a muse and model for a diverse range of designers, including Calvin Klein, Rick Owens, and Marc Jacobs (in whose fall/ winter campaign she’s currently starring). She founded a wrestling federation, The Punk Ladies of Wrestling, and is the cofounder of Future Feminism, a movement merging artistic practices and activism aimed at uniting the multiple factions of feminism. Kembra’s accomplished all that in addition to her primary role as an acclaimed visual and performance artist whose work is collected by some of the world’s most important museums, including MoMA, The Whitney, and the Bozar Museum in Brussels. Perhaps the best way to KEMBRA PFAHLER INTERVIEW BY MICHAEL BULLOCK PHOTOGRAPHY BY VINCENT DILIO experience her world is to see her live. Her horror movie- inspired, nudist, punk band, The Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black, blurs lines between ritual, performance art, and vaudeville, using irreverence, humour and in- your-face sexuality to destroy tired clichés of femininity. If Kembra’s life and career defy conventions, so does her home. Her East Village apartment is painted floor-to- ceiling in ‘tile-red’, and is organized by three philosophies: minimalism, avalibilism, and wabi-sabi. The result is rare: it has the zen and rigour of a Buddhist monk’s cell, yet it’s cloaked in a veneer of witchery.

  • “Summer of '82” Curated by Dan Cameron June 5 – July 5, 2019
    “Summer of ’82” Curated by Dan Cameron June 5 – July 5, 2019 Buster Cleveland Arch Connelly Jane Dickson Luis Frangella Judy Glantzman Becky Howland Stephen Lack Lee Quiñones David Sandlin Hope Sandrow Kenny Scharf Russell Sharon Tabboo! Tseng Kwong Chi Tom Warren David Wojnarowicz Martin Wong Summer of ’82 looks at the work of seventeen artists who were all active in the emergent Lower Manhattan art scene during the early 1980s, with a particular focus on work produced during the year 1982. Rather than serve as an overview of early 1980’s stylistics, the premise of the exhibition is to consider the emergence of a new bohemian generation at a moment when Fun Gallery had opened the year before on East 10th Street, followed by Gracie Mansion Gallery and Nature Morte. Looking back, the summer of ’82 was the moment that gave birth to both Details Magazine and Heresies’ Collective’s Racism issue, to Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat. The sounds of that summer were ESG, Blondie, Michael Jackson’s Thriller, Soft Cell’s Tainted Love, Laurie Anderson’s O Superman, and Grandmaster Flash’s The Message. It was the summer of ET, Rambo, and Bladerunner, not to mention the heyday of Rene Ricard, Tehching Hsieh and Art on the Beach. 1982 gave us the finest wine vintages in a generation and the greatest World Cup of living memory. We saw Rudi Fuchs’ Documenta, Valentino’s ‘retrospective’ at the Met, watched England sink Argentina’s ‘Belgrano,’ applauded as the Joyce Theater re-opened, partied at Danceteria, Studio 54, the Mudd Club, and Peppermint Lounge, and gave money to the first fundraiser for the Gay Men’s Health Crisis, hosted by Larry Kramer.

  • Stylistic Evolution of Jazz Drummer Ed Blackwell: the Cultural Intersection of New Orleans and West Africa
    STYLISTIC EVOLUTION OF JAZZ DRUMMER ED BLACKWELL: THE CULTURAL INTERSECTION OF NEW ORLEANS AND WEST AFRICA David J. Schmalenberger Research Project submitted to the College of Creative Arts at West Virginia University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in Percussion/World Music Philip Faini, Chair Russell Dean, Ph.D. David Taddie, Ph.D. Christopher Wilkinson, Ph.D. Paschal Younge, Ed.D. Division of Music Morgantown, West Virginia 2000 Keywords: Jazz, Drumset, Blackwell, New Orleans Copyright 2000 David J. Schmalenberger ABSTRACT Stylistic Evolution of Jazz Drummer Ed Blackwell: The Cultural Intersection of New Orleans and West Africa David J. Schmalenberger The two primary functions of a jazz drummer are to maintain a consistent pulse and to support the soloists within the musical group. Throughout the twentieth century, jazz drummers have found creative ways to fulfill or challenge these roles. In the case of Bebop, for example, pioneers Kenny Clarke and Max Roach forged a new drumming style in the 1940’s that was markedly more independent technically, as well as more lyrical in both time-keeping and soloing. The stylistic innovations of Clarke and Roach also helped foster a new attitude: the acceptance of drummers as thoughtful, sensitive musical artists. These developments paved the way for the next generation of jazz drummers, one that would further challenge conventional musical roles in the post-Hard Bop era. One of Max Roach’s most faithful disciples was the New Orleans-born drummer Edward Joseph “Boogie” Blackwell (1929-1992). Ed Blackwell’s playing style at the beginning of his career in the late 1940’s was predominantly influenced by Bebop and the drumming vocabulary of Max Roach.

    For Immediate Release contact [email protected], 646-492-4076 Jayne County Paranoia Paradise Curated by Michael Fox February 4 – March 11, 2018 Opening Reception, Sunday, February 4, 7-9pm I think that my art serves as a way of putting out the fuse before it becomes a ballistic bomb of some sort. Some people are at odds with the world and they become serial killers, and others become artists. –Jayne County From February 4 – March 11, 2018, PARTICIPANT INC is honored to present Jayne County, Paranoia Paradise, the first retrospective exhibition of County’s visual artwork, curated by Michael Fox. Although County’s artistic output began in experimental theater in the late 1960s-early ‘70s, including work with Theater of the Ridiculous and in Andy Warhol’s Pork, she is perhaps most well-known as a rock singer and performer. This exhibition takes its title from one of County’s songs, Paranoia Paradise, which she famously performed as the character of “Lounge Lizard” in Derek Jarman’s 1978 film, Jubilee. Selections of her earliest known paintings and works on paper made in the early ‘80s while living in Berlin will be exhibited alongside works made up until the present, with approximately eighty pieces on view from County’s studio as well as several private collections. A presentation of related ephemeral materials from County’s archive, as well as photographs by Bob Gruen, Leee Black Childers, and Michael Fox will accompany the exhibition and further illuminate her legendary contributions to music, film, performance, as well her role as forebear and gender pioneer as the first openly transgender rock performer.

Make-up: Jenny Coombs at Streeters “In 1949, Joseph Campbell wrote a book about the journey of the hero, about this path through the belly of the beast that people can take to have a personal, spiritual transformation. These days, for most of us, that would be a luxury: we are born in the belly of the beast, and we don’t have time to traipse around taking these 12 steps to self-discovery. A while ago, there was a story about a whale found on a beach in Thailand; it had died swimming for food in our dying oceans. The whale exploded on the beach because of the gases inside it: literally, it was viscous blood and guts for blocks. So today, rather than feeling we are in these fairytale stories about sitting in the belly of the beast and contemplating the world, we have to explode ourselves out of it. The surrealist future that Philip K Dick predicted is here, and the time is nigh to act quickly, aggressively, to be explosive.” Since the Eighties, Kembra Pfahler’s explosive approach to performance art has championed subversive ideals of what it means to be a woman.

  • NY ACKER Awards Is Taken from an Archaic Dutch Word Meaning a Noticeable Movement in a Stream
    1 THE NYC ACKER AWARDS CREATOR & PRODUCER CLAYTON PATTERSON This is our 6th successful year of the ACKER Awards. The meaning of ACKER in the NY ACKER Awards is taken from an archaic Dutch word meaning a noticeable movement in a stream. The stream is the mainstream and the noticeable movement is the avant grade. By documenting my community, on an almost daily base, I have come to understand that gentrification is much more than the changing face of real estate and forced population migrations. The influence of gen- trification can be seen in where we live and work, how we shop, bank, communicate, travel, law enforcement, doctor visits, etc. We will look back and realize that the impact of gentrification on our society is as powerful a force as the industrial revolution was. I witness the demise and obliteration of just about all of the recogniz- able parts of my community, including so much of our history. I be- lieve if we do not save our own history, then who will. The NY ACKERS are one part of a much larger vision and ambition. A vision and ambition that is not about me but it is about community. Our community. Our history. The history of the Individuals, the Outsid- ers, the Outlaws, the Misfits, the Radicals, the Visionaries, the Dream- ers, the contributors, those who provided spaces and venues which allowed creativity to flourish, wrote about, talked about, inspired, mentored the creative spirit, and those who gave much, but have not been, for whatever reason, recognized by the mainstream.

  • This Book Is a Compendium of New Wave Posters. It Is Organized Around the Designers (At Last!)
    “This book is a compendium of new wave posters. It is organized around the designers (at last!). It emphasizes the key contribution of Eastern Europe as well as Western Europe, and beyond. And it is a very timely volume, assembled with R|A|P’s usual flair, style and understanding.” –CHRISTOPHER FRAYLING, FROM THE INTRODUCTION 2 artbook.com French New Wave A Revolution in Design Edited by Tony Nourmand. Introduction by Christopher Frayling. The French New Wave of the 1950s and 1960s is one of the most important movements in the history of film. Its fresh energy and vision changed the cinematic landscape, and its style has had a seminal impact on pop culture. The poster artists tasked with selling these Nouvelle Vague films to the masses—in France and internationally—helped to create this style, and in so doing found themselves at the forefront of a revolution in art, graphic design and photography. French New Wave: A Revolution in Design celebrates explosive and groundbreaking poster art that accompanied French New Wave films like The 400 Blows (1959), Jules and Jim (1962) and The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964). Featuring posters from over 20 countries, the imagery is accompanied by biographies on more than 100 artists, photographers and designers involved—the first time many of those responsible for promoting and portraying this movement have been properly recognized. This publication spotlights the poster designers who worked alongside directors, cinematographers and actors to define the look of the French New Wave. Artists presented in this volume include Jean-Michel Folon, Boris Grinsson, Waldemar Świerzy, Christian Broutin, Tomasz Rumiński, Hans Hillman, Georges Allard, René Ferracci, Bruno Rehak, Zdeněk Ziegler, Miroslav Vystrcil, Peter Strausfeld, Maciej Hibner, Andrzej Krajewski, Maciej Zbikowski, Josef Vylet’al, Sandro Simeoni, Averardo Ciriello, Marcello Colizzi and many more.
