One quart cautionary tale, two quarts comedy, and one quart heart equal a gallon of hopefully enjoyable story. I'd rather you be surprised than know any more about it, but for marketing purposes, we'll call this "The Reverse Juno". v SURROGATE FADE IN: THE VOID At first, impervious darkness. Flecks of white bloom, then... wiggle. ELECTRONIC MUSIC crescendos. The wiggles synchronize with its pulse. Something humanesque takes shape in the dance of static, white lines, coalescing into a sonogram. OLDER EVE (V.O.) This is a story about mistakes. But you were not one of them. PRE-LAP: SUITE FOR CELLO II, ALEXANDER TCHEREPNIN 1 INT. EVE’S ROOM - DAY A cramped space, filled to the brim with colorful DIY decor - calendar pages taped to the wall, sheet music, an upright piano missing a leg. EVE RUSCOE (23) bows her honey cello with fierce concentration. A train SCREECHES past the snow-caked window. She winces. Eve stacks the classical pages and sets them aside. She lets herself space out. Plays a phrase, musing. She repeats it, humming along, reworking note by note. Roommate SEX SOUNDS crescendo through the wall. Eve plays louder, irritated. The Roommates seem to compete, on purpose? Eve opens her bow hand to stretch it. On her palm, a scrawled schedule for the day. INT. MARK MORRIS DANCE GROUP - CLASSROOM - DAY Eve rushes into a modern dance class. HEADSCARF TEACHER claps to keep rhythm. Eve slides onto the piano bench and begins to improvise with the Teacher’s claps. She uses the phrase from her bedroom. 2 INT. PARK SLOPE BROWNSTONE - DAY Eve watches an INFANT (3 months) squirm on a blanket. Gentle baby music plays. They both look utterly bored. Infant starts to fuss. Eve plunks out her song-in-progress on a toy piano. Infant breaks a smile. EVE There we go. You do have some opinions, even at worm stage. FAINT VOICE (O.S.) Eve. EVE (to Baby) Did you -- speak? No. Do you have a larynx? FAINT VOICE (O.S.) Open the window. 3 Eve pries open the window to find KAT NOVAK (24), responsible and far more maternal bandmate. EVE Kat! Eve leans out the large window with Infant. KAT I've been trying to call you - EVE, BE CAREFUL! EVE Yikes! (pulls Baby back inside) You saved my life. KAT I think more her life. EVE Come up! 4 INT. PARK SLOPE BROWNSTONE - MOMENTS LATER Kat holds Infant while Eve makes tea. EVE I think they’re going to give me a permanent position at Mark Morris if one or two of the moms don’t come back. KAT That’d be great, although don’t poison anyone. EVE Yep. KAT I was trying to call you, because Andrew Bird might be at the show. EVE ...WHAT?!?! KAT YES! The bandmates share a moment of dancey celebration. 5 KAT (CONT'D) I’ll ask Will to burn some EPs on his work computer. EVE No. KAT No? EVE We need to make a big impression. We need The Vinyl. KAT But Dorian's still pressing it. EVE I’ll get the test copy. KAT (maternal) Do you really have time to do that and take a shower-- 6 EVE Competing with five roommates, that’s always questionable-- KAT And eat? EVE Sure. I’ll go get it now. KAT You're taking care of a baby. EVE No, you are. KAT Will it scar her? EVE Nah. My mom left me with odd people all the times. KAT Your mom wouldn’t do that. 7 EVE Church people are odd people. Anyways, you like babies. KAT Will you at least get permission? EVE I don’t wanna bother her. The evening nanny’ll be here in two hours. Okay? KAT I don’t wholly approve. (sighs) But she is cute. And only you can work your magic on Dorian. EVE We need to talk anyway. EXT. LONG ISLAND CITY - DORIAN'S WAREHOUSE - DAY Eve hammers on the door. DORIAN (25), an old soul, answers. 8 DORIAN So you are alive. EVE Happy new year. DORIAN It’s February. Eve kisses him. INT. DORIAN’S WAREOUSE - BACK OFFICE - DAY Eve and Dorian do a Superman yoga position, playing around, mostly undressed. Their noses quiver, inches from each other. DORIAN (suddenly serious) Do you wanna have kids? EVE Oh my god! Eve loses focus and splats. 9 EVE (CONT'D) What a weird thing to say right now. Dorian takes her sweater and runs. INT. DORIAN'S WAREHOUSE - FRONT OFFICE - CONTINUOUS Eve chases him. EVE I’m freezing to death!!! Dorian cradles the sweater and scratches a note at his desk. He hums a melody. DORIAN Sorry, just got an idea. Eve lets herself have a sincere moment of admiration while he’s distracted. He almost catches her. EVE (dissembling coolness) Yes? 10 DORIAN Stay for a drink? EVE I have a show. DORIAN Take the tiniest breather. Eve nods with a shiver. Dorian tosses the sweater. Eve waits till he’s gone to augment the note on his desk. INSERT: “Really had to run. Sorry. Let’s talk about our feelings later.” Eve pulls on her parka and roams Dorian’s shelves of works. A few colorful rows later, she finds it. INSERT: EVE RUSCOE/KAT NOVAK TEST EP: “Uphill Sled”. Eve slips the vinyl off the shelf. It's pressed on a sunny, yellow plastic. Dorian's footsteps echo from the distant kitchen. Eve races to the end of the aisle. She watches him set two ginger beers on the desk. 11 She loops around and peeks out an industrial window. A slippery fire escape ladder snakes down to the ground. Eve nudges the window open a crack, exhales the vinyl against her torso, and zips the parka. INT. PARK SLOPE BROWNSTONE - DAY Kat places Infant gently on a blanket. KAT Tummy time! The door creaks open. KAT (CONT'D) (assuming it’s evening nanny) You’re early! I’m subbing for Eve-- A HARRIED WORKING MOM (late 30s), lugging full tote bags, stares at this stranger in her home. HARRIED WORKING MOM Who are you??? Harried Working Mom drops her tote bags. A full bag of flour explodes all over her. 12 INT. EVE’S ROOM - NIGHT Eve sits on the radiator in a towel, bedroom door open for a prime view of the bathroom. The train screeches by. The Sex Roommates gab audibly in the shower. MALE ROOMMATE (O.S.) Pass me the Bronner's, love. FEMALE ROOMMATE (O.S.) I can lather you up if you want. One affirmation per toesie. Eve bangs on the radiator. Gets up, writes a note, and tapes it to the bathroom door. INSERT: “Please fix my radiator. Polar vortex. :( - Eve”. KUMAIL (40s), Eve’s landlord with social anxiety, ascends the stairs in a bathrobe. He stops in his tracks. EVE Hey, Kumail. 13 KUMAIL Good evening, um... EVE Eve. KUMAIL Didn’t expect to see you here. EVE Well, I live here. KUMAIL (he does live here) Something to which I cannot relate. EVE Uh huh. He brushes the wall. A rivulet of plaster crumbles. KUMAIL Just checking on the property. 14 EVE Oh perfect. (rips note from door) Just a little maintenance request I was going to give to Norah. KUMAIL Got it. Well, I have to return home. To Manhattan. Lower East Side. EVE I’m going that way if you want to split a cab. (Kumail freezes) Just kidding. ...Oh! Some more of your mail got delivered here. Kumail hesitates, then takes it. His robe opens too much. Beat. Kumail backs away. Scuttles down the stairs. INT. ARLENE’S GROCERY - BACKSTAGE - NIGHT Eve and Kat cackle backstage. 15 EVE I could blackmail him for free rent for the rest of my life. KAT What happened to that churchmouse I remember sophomore year? EVE Oh, please. That was your black-out phase. You don’t remember anything. Light strikes them as WILL (28), Kat’s energetic programmer boyfriend, sticks his head through the curtain. WILL Hey, I brought EPs just in case. KAT She got it. WILL Dynamite. 16 EVE Just took a little fin -ESSE! LEO ESPOSITO (34), shlubby, artistic, “what does he do for a job?”, pops through the curtain, too close. WILL Eve, you remember my friend Leo? EVE Oh yeah. You got drunk and hid in the forest for an hour when we went to that cabin. LEO Honored. EVE Hiding’s your thing. In response, Leo silkily retracts until he disappears. RIGHTEOUS SHOW HOST (O.S.) Ahhh! Please don’t hide in the curtain. It’s weird. (MORE) 17 RIGHTEOUS SHOW HOST (CONT'D) (leans in, to Eve and Kat) You’re up in five. And keep it down. Kat shoos Will with a quick kiss. The bandmates become serious and tune their strings. INT. ARLENE’S GROCERY - STAGE - NIGHT Eve and Kat play a weaving song with cello and viola. Kat sings lead.

  • PATTI SMITH Eighteen Stations MARCH 3 – APRIL 16, 2016
    /robertmillergallery For immediate release: [email protected] @RMillerGallery 212.366.4774 /robertmillergallery PATTI SMITH Eighteen Stations MARCH 3 – APRIL 16, 2016 New York, NY – February 17, 2016. Robert Miller Gallery is pleased to announce Eighteen Stations, a special project by Patti Smith. Eighteen Stations revolves around the world of M Train, Smith’s bestselling book released in 2015. M Train chronicles, as Smith describes, “a roadmap to my life,” as told from the seats of the cafés and dwellings she has worked from globally. Reflecting the themes and sensibility of the book, Eighteen Stations is a meditation on the act of artistic creation. It features the artist’s illustrative photographs that accompany the book’s pages, along with works by Smith that speak to art and literature’s potential to offer hope and consolation. The artist will be reading from M Train at the Gallery throughout the run of the exhibition. Patti Smith (b. 1946) has been represented by Robert Miller Gallery since her joint debut with Robert Mapplethorpe, Film and Stills, opened at its 724 Fifth Avenue location in 1978. Recent solo exhibitions at the Gallery include Veil (2009) and A Pythagorean Traveler (2006). In 2014 Rockaway Artist Alliance and MoMA PS1 mounted Patti Smith: Resilience of the Dreamer at Fort Tilden, as part of a special project recognizing the ongoing recovery of the Rockaway Peninsula, where the artist has a home. Smith's work has been the subject of solo exhibitions at institutions worldwide including the Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto (2013); Detroit Institute of Arts (2012); Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, Hartford (2011); Fondation Cartier pour l’Art Contemporaine, Paris (2008); Haus der Kunst, Munich (2003); and The Andy Warhol Museum (2002).

  • Patti Smith M Train Collection Folio
    Patti Smith M Train collection folio Patti Smith M Train Traduit de l’américain par Nicolas Richard Gallimard Titre original : m train © Patti Smith, 2015. © Éditions Gallimard, 2016, pour la traduction française. Couverture : Photo © Claire Alexandra Hartfiel. Artiste engagée, Patti Smith est née à Chicago en 1946. Issue d’une famille modeste, elle quitte le New Jersey pour partir travailler à New York en 1967. Elle y rencontre le photographe Robert Mapplethorpe et emménage avec lui au Chelsea Hotel. Habituée des clubs punk et rock du moment parmi lesquels le célèbre CBGB, elle crée le Patti Smith Group. Son premier single, Hey Joe / Piss Factory, paraît en 1974. Suivront les albums Horses, Radio Ethiopia, Easter – avec notamment le tube Because the Night (1978), coécrit avec Bruce Springsteen – et Wave. En 1980, elle épouse Fred « Sonic » Smith (1949-1994), guitariste du groupe MC5, et met entre parenthèses sa vie d’artiste pour se consacrer à leurs deux enfants. L’album Dream of Life (1988), conçu avec son mari, lui permet de renouer avec la scène. Elle signe alors Gone Again, Peace and Noise, Gung Ho, Land et Trampin’. Admiratrice des textes d’Arthur Rimbaud et de William Blake dont elle donne des lectures, Patti Smith reçoit la médaille de commandeur de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres en 2005 et entre au Rock and Roll Hall of Fame en 2007. Trois autres albums sont produits : Twelve, The Coral Sea et Outside Society. Son récit autobiographique, Just Kids (2010), a été récompensé par le National Book Award. Pour Sam Shepard e n’est pas si facile d’écrire sur rien.

  • Patti Smith and the Reconstruction of Her Public Persona in Life Writing
    Revista de Estudios Norteamericanos, vol. 23, 2019. Seville, Spain, ISSN 1133-309-X, pp. 191-208. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.12795/REN.2019.i23.09 ‘I HAVE LIVED IN MY OWN BOOK’: PATTI SMITH AND THE RECONSTRUCTION OF HER PUBLIC PERSONA IN LIFE WRITING SILVIA HERNÁNDEZ HELLÍN Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria [email protected] Received 18 July 2019 Accepted 13 November 2019 KEYWORDS: Patti Smith; memoir; autobiographical forms; Just Kids; M Train; identity; public persona PALABRAS CLAVE: Patti Smith; memorias; formas autobiográficas; Éramos unos niños; M Train; identidad; personaje público ABSTRACT: In 2010, Patti Smith published her first memoir, Just Kids, winning the National Book Award for Nonfiction. The book recounts Smith’s relationship with avant-garde photographer Robert Mapplethorpe, as well as her involvement in New York City’s burgeoning bohemian downtown scene. Five years later, she published a second memoir, M Train, a much more experimental narrative that goes back and forth in time and mixes dream and reality in an attempt to convey her nostalgic recollection of the past. This paper examines Patti Smith’s memoirs as a space where different genres of life writing converge, thus enabling the development of a multilayered, richly constructed narrative self whose identity is intimately connected with loss, self-discovery and the making of art. The analysis of her autobiographical prose works allows us to regard life writing as a way for women to devise a public image of their own. RESUMEN: En 2010, Patti Smith publicó su primer libro de memorias, Éramos unos niños, ganando el Premio Nacional del Libro en la categoría de no ficción.

  • Laudatio to Patti Smith Diego Saglia
    Awarding of the title of Honorary Doctor in “Classical and Modern Philology and Literature” to Patti Smith Laudatio to Patti Smith Diego Saglia Director of the Department of Humanities, Social Sciences and Cultural Industries Parma, Auditorium Paganini 3 May 2017 Rector, Distinguished Members of Academic Staff, Civil, Military and Religious Authorities, Technical and Administrative Staff of this University, Dear Students, Ladies and Gentlemen, New York. The lobby of the Chelsea Hotel. At the end of the 1960s: “I sat in my usual spot, bent over my orange composition book […] and was hammering away at the same set of phrases when I was interrupted by an oddly familiar voice: ‘Whatcha doin’ darling?’ 2 I looked up into the face of a stranger sporting the perfect pair of dark glasses. ‘Writing.’ ‘Are you a poet?’ ‘Maybe.’” Patti Smith records this brief exchange with Bob Neuwirth, the then friend and associate of Bob Dylan, in her book of memoirs Just Kids, thus capturing a moment of explicit and forthright questioning of her own poetic vocation. Her answer is only seemingly vague, as that ‘maybe’ hints at the vast range of possibilities implied by the notion of being a poet. In the same volume, Smith also offers us us the following illuminating fragment: “In Poems a Penny Each James Joyce wrote a line that dogged me – the signs that mock me as I go”. This quotation is from the short poem entitled “Bahnhofstrasse”, contained in Joyce’s Pomes Penyeach, a collection of 12 compositions published in 1927. Appropriating the line and weaving it into her own reflections on her lifetime of artistic creation, 3 Smith removes it from its modernist context, but does not separate it from that literary movement’s distinctive exploration of reality through the word, the created word that encapsulates and explains the world – modernist “glossopoeia”.
