The Village Voice October 9-15, 1996 Other Rooms By Lesile Camhi 3 Legged Race 307 West 141st Street October 12 through 14 Exit the subway at 145th Street and you enter a world of beautiful architecture and crumbling infrastructure, a second city, where the art world rarely travels. There, three artists have transformed an empty Harlem building with installations that evoke themes of displacement, memory, and renewal. Their exhibitions un-common power lies in its combination of literal and imaginative dislocations. On the ground floor, Marcel Odenbaeh projects video images on facing screens of activity along Manhattan's edges. On one side, men in tight jeans cruise the piers; in the opposite direction, pleasure boats and barges glide through the Hudson. Odenbach mixes in footage of armed strife, island culture, and refugees boarding ships for New York. The metropolis emerges as a place of disjointed, restless energy and yearning. A narrow flight of stairs leads up to Nari Ward's two sculptural installations. Ward has woven an enormous web, using colored yarn, wire, and objects he found in the vicinity. (The building housed, successively, a fire, piano movers. a limousine service, and a family.) Headlights, piano keys, books, and a crib are held in suspended animation: do they belong to past or present? Ward's second installation is a Iyrical curtain of old bottles knotted and tied into a screen for the projection of shadows and light. Janine Antoni has left the building’s top floor bare; her installation, in the burnt-out shell next door, is visible from the window or the roof outside. She climbed into this decaying, gutted structure, and lovingly restored a single kitchen. It gleams, white and gemlike amid the charred ruins that surround it. Though her renovation was not for human habitation, the work radiates with a sense of idealism and the patient labor that can illuminate even the forgetten spaces. .

Uncovering the Anti-Queer Sentiment in the Dianetic Perspective At present, there is a groundswell of public sensational interest in the subject of Scientology; and, in fact, in the time since I began this research paper, a nine-episode documentary series has premiered and reached finale on A&E titled “Scientology and the Aftermath”— a personal project hosted by sitcom celebrity, ex-Scientologist, and author of Troublemaker: Surviving Hollywood and Scientology, Leah Remini.1 I could not begin to enumerate the myriad exposés/memoirs of ex-Scientologists that have been published in recent years nor could I emphasize enough the rampant conspiracy theories that are at the disposal of any curious mind on what many have termed “the cult” of Scientology.

Not all senior buildings provide devices. As technology New Resident pg. 3 improves and prices drop, perhaps in time we can get GPS technology on the help button.

Each apartment has a smoke alarm, two fire cans under the stove hood, multiple sprinklers and a fire-rated front door. Many people would not be able to use fire extinguishers so in buildings such as ours, having the automatic sprinklers in the apartments is safer. The public areas (hallways, stairways, etc.) have hard-wired smoke alarms, automatic lights, sprinklers, automatic fire doors, fire extinguishers and a sophisticated fire alarm system. We contract with Erlich Protection Systems, Fire Systems of Michigan and Fire Extinguisher Sales and Service for yearly equipment and system inspections. The City of Warren Fire Marshall visits yearly and makes sure that these inspections have taken place. Residents can feel secure because of the care put into the building’s fire safety plan.

A Movement on the Verge: The Spark of Stonewall The night of Saturday, June 28, 1969, the streets of Central Greenwich Village were crowded with angered gay men, lesbians, “flame queens”, and Trans*genders. 1 That was the second day of disorder of what would later be called the Stonewall Riots. Centering around Christopher Street’s bar for homosexuals, the Stonewall Inn, the riots began the night before on June 27 and lasted until July 2. These five days of rioting were the result of decades of disdain against the police force and the general population that had oppressed the gay inhabitants of New York City.

Sale Raises Hopes for Reviving The Village Voice - The New York Times 10/18/15, 2:32 PM http://nyti.ms/1RN9OXH N.Y. / REGION Sale Raises Hopes for Reviving The Village Voice OCT. 16, 2015 Big City By GINIA BELLAFANTE Over the past century, ever since Dorothy Payne Whitney provided the financial backing to create The New Republic in 1914, some of the country’s most distinctive left-leaning journalism — intellectually ambitious, literary, highly opinionated — has been dependent on the generosity of the legacy class, heirs and heiresses who were often immune to the crude impositions placed by the hunger for profit. This has been true of subsequent (albeit not current) iterations of The New Republic, The Nation (owned in part by Katrina vanden Heuvel, the granddaughter of Jules Stein, a founder of MCA Inc.) and Harper’s, which exists today because of the support provided by John R. MacArthur, through his family’s foundation, for more than 30 years. Given these investments, it was welcome news to learn this week that Peter D. Barbey, a Pennsylvanian with an inherited fortune derived from clothing and textile businesses, had bought The Village Voice with the goal of returning the newspaper to its central position, long since vanished, in the city’s cultural firmament. When the purchase was announced, many New Yorkers may have found it a revelation to hear that The Voice still existed at all. Founded by Norman Mailer and others in 1955, the paper was, to Mr. Mailer’s mind, meant to stand as http://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/18/nyregion/sale-raises-hopes-for-…am_unit&version=latest&contentPlacement=1&pgtype=collection&_r=0 Page 1 of 4 Sale Raises Hopes for Reviving The Village Voice - The New York Times 10/18/15, 2:32 PM an outrage rather than a success, to “give a little speed to that sexual and moral revolution which is yet to come upon us.” Mr.
