SPRING/SUMMER BULLETIN 2011 vimuseume of artsws and design Dear Friends, Board of Trustees Holly Hotchner LEWIS KRUGER Nanette L. Laitman Director Chairman What a whirlwind fall! Every event seemed in some way or another a new milestone for JEROME A. CHAZEN us all at 2 Columbus Circle. And it all started with a public program that you might have Chairman Emeritus thought would slip under the radar—Blood into Gold: The Cinematic Alchemy of Alejandro BARbaRA TOBER Chairman Emerita Jodorowsky. Rather than attracting a small band of cinéastes, this celebration of the Chilean- FRED KLEISNER born, Paris-based filmmaker turned into a major event: not only did the screenings sell Treasurer out, but the maestro’s master class packed our seventh-floor event space to fire-code LINDA E. JOHNSON Secretary capacity and elicited a write-up in the Wall Street Journal! And that’s not all, none other HOllY HOtcHNER than Debbie Harry introduced Jodorowsky’s most famous filmThe Holy Mountain to Director filmgoers, among whom were several downtown art stars, including Klaus Biesenbach, the director of MoMA PS1. A huge fan of this mystical renaissance man, Biesenbach was StaNLEY ARKIN DIEGO ARRIA so impressed by our series that beginning on May 22, MoMA PS1 will screen The Holy GEORGE BOURI Mountain continuously until June 30. And, he has graciously given credit to MAD and KAY BUckSbaUM Jake Yuzna, our manager of public programs, for inspiring the film installation.

Image courtesy The Contemporary Jewish Museum. Photo by JKA Photography. HOUSTON, TX (April 4, 2018)—The Contemporary Arts Museum Houston (CAMH) is #CaryLeibowitzCAMH pleased to present Cary Leibowitz: Museum Show, the first comprehensive career survey #atCAMH and solo museum exhibition of Leibowitz’s work. The exhibition features nearly 350 original @camhouston artworks from 1987 to the present, including paintings, fabric works, multiples, installations, documentation, photography, and ephemera. Cary Leibowitz: Museum Show has an opening reception on the evening of May 11 and will remain on view through August 26, 2018. New York–based artist Cary Leibowitz (b. 1963) creates bold, brightly colored, and comically self-effacing text-based works which draw on both a gay and Jewish perspective in order to address issues of identity, kitsch, modernist critique, and queer politics. Included in the exhibition are paintings that read, “Here I am please don’t be mean” and “I just got a pair of Gucci for Bergdorfs loafers for 50% off and I really do feel better.” A white porcelain fish- shaped dish reads, “Fucked up homo bar-mitzvah gay boy worries too much about what 1 5216 Montrose Boulevard Houston, Texas 77006 CAMH.ORG | #atCAMH Press Release his mother will wear.” Additionally, -
Bridging the Voices of Hard-Boiled Detective and Noir Crime Fiction
Christopher Mallon TEXT Vol 19 No 2 Swinburne University of Technology Christopher Mallon Crossing shadows: Bridging the voices of hard-boiled detective and noir crime fiction Abstract This paper discusses the notion of Voice. It attempts to articulate the nature of voice in hard-boiled detective fiction and noir crime fiction. In doing so, it examines discusses how these narrative styles, particularly found within private eye novels, explores aspects of the subjectivity as the narrator- investigator; and, thus crossing and bridging a cynical, hard-boiled style and an alienated, reflective voice within a noir world. Keywords: hard-boiled detective fiction, noir fiction, voice, authenticity Introduction In crime fiction, voice is an integral aspect of the narrative. While plot, characters, and setting are, of course, also instrumental in providing a sense of authenticity to the text, voice brings a sense of verisimilitude and truth to the fiction the author employs. Thus, this paper discusses the nature of voice within the tradition of the crime fiction subgenres of noir and hard-boiled detective literature. In doing so, it examines how voice positions the protagonist; his subjectivity as the narrator-investigator; and, the nature of the hardboiled voice within a noir world. Establishing authenticity The artistic, literary, and aesthetic movement of Modernism, during the late 19th and early 20th Centuries, describes a consciousness of despair, disorder, and anarchy, through ‘the intellectual conventions of plight, alienation, and nihilism’ -

You Mentioned That Some Scenes from James Ellroy's LA CONFIDENTIAL
89 FAQ 6 6.1 Q: You mentioned that some scenes from James Ellroy’s L.A. CONFIDENTIAL were filmed inside the Hodel/Franklin House. I didn’t see any. Which ones? Yes, two separate scenes were filmed inside the Franklin House, but if you blink you miss them. George Hodel 1949 David Strathairn as “Pierce Patchett” 90 L.A. CONFIDENTIAL FRANKLIN HOUSE SCENE 1 Scene between Kevin Spacey and James Cromwell (Capt. Dudley Smith) This 1996-7 scene filmed in Hodel-Franklin House kitchen five years before residential interior renovation in 2002 L.A. CONFIDENTIAL FRANKLIN HOUSE SCENE 2 Scene at Franklin House with partygoers (Hookers and tricks) This scene filmed in Hodel-Franklin House living-room in 1996-7 91 Kevin Spacey as detective Sgt. Jack Vincennes holding Pierce Patchett’s Fleur dy Lis business card George Hodel’s “Whatever You Desire” Fleur dy Lis photo album As in CHINATOWN, there are some fascinating coincidences related to the real life George Hodel and the characters in the fictional Ellroy novel, masterfully adapted to film in 1997 by director, Curtis Hanson. First is the character, Pierce Patchett, who not only resembles George Hodel in physical appearance and voice, but is presented in the film as a powerful L.A. behind-the-scenes shadow figure, running a vice operation and working with corrupt cops. Pimp Patchett has high class prostitutes going to cocktail parties and entertaining wealthy and connected businessmen AT THE FRANKLIN HOUSE. (See above clips) Incredibly, this is something that Dr. George Hodel did in real life, at the same location, in the very same room! Patchett’s logo is the Fluer dy Lis, which we see on George Hodel’s private, personal album of loved ones. -
James Ellroy Demon Dog of Crime Fiction
Crime Files Series General Editor: Clive Bloom Since its invention in the nineteenth century, detective fiction has never been more popular. In novels, short stories, films, radio, television and now in computer games, private detectives and psychopaths, prim poisoners and over- worked cops, tommy gun gangsters and cocaine criminals are the very stuff of modern imagination, and their creators one mainstay of popular consciousness. Crime Files is a ground-breaking series offering scholars, students and discerning readers a comprehensive set of guides to the world of crime and detective fic- tion. Every aspect of crime writing, detective fiction, gangster movie, true-crime exposé, police procedural and post-colonial investigation is explored through clear and informative texts offering comprehensive coverage and theoretical sophistication.

Nostalgic Masculinity: Homosocial Desire and Homosexual Panic In
Nostalgic Masculinity: Homosocial Desire and Homosexual Panic in James Ellroy’s This Storm Nathan Ashman, University of East Anglia Abstract: The second volume in James Ellroy’s ‘Second LA Quartet’, This Storm (2019) offers a complex miscellany of war profiteering, fifth column sabotage, and institutional corruption, all of which is starkly projected against the sobering backdrop of the internment of Japanese- Americans. Whilst presenting Ellroy’s most diverse assemblage of characters to date, the narrative is, nonetheless, principally centred on the intersecting bonds between men. Although the prevalence of destructive masculine authority in Ellroy’s works has been widely discussed, what has often been overlooked are the specifically ‘homosocial’ dimensions of these relationships. Whilst these homosocial bonds are frequently energised and solidified by homophobic violence (both physical and rhetorical), this paper will argue that they are simultaneously wrought by ‘homosexual panic’; the anxiety deriving for the indeterminate boundaries between homosocial and homosexual desire. This panic is expressed most profoundly in This Storm in the form of corrupt policeman Dudley Smith. Haunted by a repressed homosexual encounter, Smith’s paranoid behaviour and increasingly punitive violence derives from his inability to establish clear boundaries between his intense homosocial bonds and latent homosexual desires. Thus, whilst Ellroy’s ‘nostalgic masculinity’ attempts to circumscribe the dimensions and inviolability of male identity, the paranoia and violence that underscores the various machinations of Ellroy’s crooked cops ultimately exposes the fragility of such constructions. Key Words: James Ellroy, Masculinity, Homosocial, Panic, Homosexual The punitive brutality that underlies James Ellroy’s codifications of masculinity has long been a cause of critical contention. -
