The Great Beyond - the Story of Jim Carrey and Andy Kaufman with a Very Special, Contractually Chris Smith - Jim & Andy: the Obligated Mention of Tony Clifton

MERCOLEDì 6 SETTEMBRE 2017 Alla 74esima Mostra Internazionale d'Arte Cinematografica di Venezia è stato presentato Chris Smith - Jim & Andy: The Great Beyond - The Story Of Jim Carrey And Andy Kaufman With A Very Special, Contractually Chris Smith - Jim & Andy: The Obligated Mention Of Tony Clifton. Great Beyond - The Story Of Jim Carrey And Andy Kaufman With A "Il più delle volte nessuno sa dire cosa sia vero e cosa no. Io stesso non Very Special, Contractually sapevo cosa fosse realtà e cosa no, allora bastava andare con Andy e Tony e, a seconda di come gli girava, le emozioni erano quasi sempre Obligated Mention Of Tony Clifton molto reali" (Jim Carrey). Nel 1999 Milos Forman fa interpretare a Jim a Venezia 74 Carrey la parte di Andy Kaufman nel film biografico Man on the Moon. Ne risultò una produzione estremamente insolita ed emozionante. Circondato sul set dagli amici e dai familiari di Kaufman, Carrey "divenne" pienamente Andy e, alternativamente, Tony Clifton, lo sgradevole cantante di piano bar, alter ego di Kaufman. Come il cabaret di Kaufman, l'interpretazione di Carrey assunse una qualità artistica nel ANTONIO GALLUZZO corso del film. Non uscì mai dal personaggio tanto che sul set gli altri attori e la troupe lo chiamava "Andy" o "Tony" a seconda di chi [email protected] impersonava (aveva creato due identità completamente separate). SPETTACOLINEWS.IT L'interpretazione di Jim Carrey fu acclamata dai critici e gli fece vincere un Golden Globe, ma i momenti maggiormente "kaufmaneschi" dietro le quinte sono stati per fortuna catturati su video dalla ex ragazza di Andy, Lynne Margulies, e da Bob Zmuda, con cui scriveva i testi. In Jim & Andy: the Great Beyond - the story of Jim Carrey & Andy Kaufman with a very special, contractually obligated mention of Tony Clifton, Carrey guarda quei momenti diciotto anni dopo e riflette su come lui e Andy siano venuti fuori da universi curiosamente paralleli, dato che la sua esperienza ha messo insieme Andy e Tony e, più in generale, il viaggio spirituale della sua carriera. Per gran parte della mia carriera - racconta il regista - ho esplorato le vite degli esclusi, degli emarginati, quindi quando mi è stato chiesto di girare un documentario su Jim Carrey che interpretava Andy Kaufman, mi è sembrato di dovermi allontanare dal mio lavoro precedente. Mi ha colpito invece, lavorando a questo film, il fatto che l'idea di emarginato è Pag. 1 / 2 relativa; e che, al di là del successo che sente di aver ottenuto, ciascuno lotta con il concetto di identità in termini di definizione di se stessi e del proprio posto nel mondo. Pag. 2 / 2.

BenBella Fall 2014 Body Respect What Conventional Health Books Get Wrong, Leave Out, and Just Plain Fail to Understand about Weight Linda Bacon and Lucy Aphramor Summary Mainstream health science has let you down. Weight loss is not the key to health, diet and exercise are not effective weight-loss strategies and fatness is not a death sentence. You’ve heard it before: there’s a global health crisis, and, unless we make some changes, we’re in trouble. That much is true—but the epidemic is NOT obesity. The real crisis lies in the toxic stigma placed on certain bodies and the impact of living with inequality—not the numbers on a scale. In a mad dash to shrink our bodies, many of us get so caught up in searching for the perfect diet, exercise program, or surgical technique that we lose sight of our original goal: improved health and well-being. Popular methods for weight loss don’t get us there and lead many people to feel like failures when they can’t match BenBella Books unattainable body standards.

Andy Kaufman, Artist?
Boucher, Brian. Andy Kaufman, Artist?. Art in America. December 13 2013. Andy Kaufman, Artist? By Brian Boucher Elvis impersonator. Latka Gravas, taxi driver. Tony Clif- ton, abusive lounge singer. These are among the alter egos of legendary comedian Andy Kaufman, who died of cancer in 1984. Was he also an artist? Next month, New York’s Maccarone Gallery opens “On Creating Reality, by Andy Kaufman” (Jan. 12-Feb. 16), an exhibition organized by artist Jonathan Berger. Screenings and events will also take place at East Vil- lage gallery Participant Inc. and at MoMA PS1. It’s the first time Maccarone’s newly expanded gallery space will be fully open to the public. The show features an archive of Kaufmania, including ephemera such as performance notes, photographs, three novels he wrote by hand, materials related to his practice of transcendental meditation, thousands of pieces of hate mail, his record collections, show post- ers, his address book (which has the phone numbers for Woody Allen and Robin Williams), his X rays, and videos of unseen performances. Speaking with A.i.A. on Wednesday, Berger said that the show is not so much concerned with whether Kaufman was an artist. “It’s more about questions than about statements,” he said. “How can we, the contemporary art culture or the com- edy field, acknowledge the work of those whose genre or format we don’t understand?” “His influence on contemporary art is undeniable, and this show acknowledges that,” Berger continued. “It’s a fact that he’s influenced people like Paul McCarthy, Mike Kelley, Trisha Donnelly, Laurie Simmons and Maurizio Cattelan.” Berger discovered the materials in the garage of Lynne Margulies, Kaufman’s girlfriend, who was then in Los Angeles.

The Beatles played 7 nights a week, eight hours a night in Hamburg; Gates programmed non-stop for 7 years through his teens and college days. Spielberg, Howard Stern, Steve Martin, all started their careers as kids doing what they love to do, not waiting for permission or certification.

Andy Kaufman Sheds Light on the Cult Comedian's Art Influence
Slenske, Michael. Foreign Man. Modern Painters. February 10, 2013. Show on the “Real” Andy Kaufman Sheds Light on the Cult Comedian’s Art Influence By Michael Slenske “This is a man who creates extraordinary humor. The substance, the content, the timing is something very different from what we’re normally used to,” says Tom Cottle, seated in a living room set wearing his signature tweed coat and salt-and-pepper Afro as he introduces the guest for the May 26, 1983, episode of Tom Cottle: Up Close. “He sort of turns the world upside down from time to time and asks us to kind of stand on our heads to even grasp what it is that he is doing, and we do, and we seem to love it. Now, who is this creator of all this comedic stuff? Who is this man, Andy Kaufman? Quite frankly, I don’t know, but I’m going to do my best to find out.” Though Cottle had no way of knowing it then, his seductively probing interview would open perhaps the biggest public window into the artistic process of one of the 20th century’s most enigmatic entertainers. “It’s amazing. Full-on, artist-talk amazing,” says Jonathan Berger, the artist and curator who culled this rarely seen clip — along with dozens of others — for two three-years-in-the-making New York exhibitions, “On Creating Reality, by Andy Kaufman” at Maccarone gallery, which runs through February 16, and a series of screenings, “Andy Kaufman’s 99-Cent Tour” at Participant Inc., on view through February 24.

Brought Him Fame, Financial Independence and a Television Special
Smith, Roberta. A Comedian As Artist, The New York Times, February 9, 2015 By Roberta Smith When Andy Kaufman, the entertainer, so-called anti-comic and Elvis imper- sonator extraordinaire, died in 1984 at 35, he left behind two very distinct if connected personas. The better known is Andy Kaufman, the television star who provided some of the funniest moments on the popu- lar sitcom “Taxi” in the guise of the loopy auto mechanic Latka Gravas, he of the high-pitched voice, unidentifi- able accent and alternate sense of real- ity. As Latka, Kaufman appeared on all Jeffrey Sturges five seasons of “Taxi” (1978 to 1983); it brought him fame, financial independence and a television special. (This was stipulated in his first contract.) But Kaufman didn’t like the sitcom format and agreed to stay on the show only when the writers allowed Latka to develop multiple-personality disorder so he could play other characters. The second persona is Andy Kaufman, the stand-up innovator, politically incorrect satirist and cult figure revered by comedians and artists alike — an artist in his own right. This Kaufman, who had been obsessed since child- hood with professional wrestling, invited women to wrestle with him onstage, to the outrage of many feminists. He behaved unpredictably on talk shows, often leaving his hosts semi-flummoxed. He led perplexed audiences in grade-school-like singalongs and once invited the audience members at the Improv in New York to touch a cyst on his neck, albeit only after they washed their hands. Following his ineffably odd evening “Andy Kaufman Plays Carnegie Hall,” he took the entire audience for milk and cookies.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Everything I've Done for You
“Ladies and gentlemen, everything I’ve done for you, really I was only fooling. This is really me, and we’ll be right back.” Between Liminality and the Liminoid: The Continuum of Cultural Resistance in the Performances of Andy Kaufman A Thesis Presented by Eloise Victoria Grills 329175 The School of Culture and Communication in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in the field of English ENGL40019 in the School of Culture and Communication at The University of Melbourne Supervisor: Associate Professor Peter Eckersall October 2011 1 Eloise Grills 329175 English Honours Thesis Requirement ABSTRACT This thesis has been stimulated by a critical interest in Andy Kaufman (1949-1984) a performer whose work relentlessly defied classification. I have chosen to examine Kaufman’s work through the concepts of liminal ritualistic and liminoid expressive forms theorised by anthropologist Victor Turner (1920-83), in order to assess the efficacy of using these as a framework for decoding the cultural politics of performance. I will suggest that liminal point in the indoctrination ritual can be utilized as a model for popular entertainment forms, as they have replaced rituals of indoctrination in late Capitalist societies. I assert that the television broadcast has remediated and replaced these forms, becoming the primary authority in the articulation of cultural values. I will also examine Turner's concept of the liminoid cultural form, as that which overtly opposes the hegemony imposed through the liminal ritual. I will apply these to Kaufman's performances, suggesting that he mimics and manipulates the tropes of liminal rituals, including the stand-up performance, the variety television show, and the wrestling spectacle, while resisting their instrinsic purpose, to reinforce dominant texts.
