Joni Mitchell

Joni Mitchell
born Roberta Joan Anderson; November 7, 1943

"Few contemporary voices have aged more shockingly than Joni Mitchell's. The craggy alto on ''Both Sides Now,'' her intermittently magnificent new album of standards (including two of her best-loved original songs), is so changed from the sweetly yodeling folk soprano of her earliest albums that it hardly seems possible the two sounds could have come from the same body.

In refusing to fight or try to camouflage the ravages of time, Ms. Mitchell belongs to an interpretive school that includes Billie Holiday and Frank Sinatra, whose vocal deterioration brought them greater emotional depth and realism."

[Excerpt of New York Times article "Something's Lost and Something's Gained" by Stephen Holden, published February 13, 2000. Many Happy Returns, Ms. Mitchell!]

Isaac Hayes

Isaac Hayes

From Wikipedia: "Isaac Lee Hayes, Jr. (August 20, 1942 – August 10, 2008) was an American singer-songwriter, actor and musician. Hayes was one of the main creative forces behind southern soul music label Stax Records, where he served as both an in-house songwriter and producer with partner David Porter during the mid-1960s. Alongside, Bill Withers, the Sherman Brothers, Steve Cropper and John Fogerty, Hayes & Porter were named to the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2005 in recognition of their string of successful hit songs for Sam & Dave, Carla Thomas and others In the late 1960s. Their hit song "Soul Man" by Sam & Dave has been recognized as one of the best or most influential songs of the past 50 years by the Grammy Hall of Fame, The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Rolling Stone magazine, and the RIAA Songs of the Century.

In the late 1960s, Hayes became a recording artist, and recorded successful soul albums such as Hot Buttered Soul (1969) and Black Moses (1971) as the Stax label's premier artist. In addition to his work in popular music, Hayes was a film score composer for motion pictures. His best known work, for the 1971 soul cinema classic film Shaft, earned Hayes an Academy Award for Best Original Song (the first Academy Award received by an African-American in a non-acting category) and two Grammy Awards. He received a third Grammy for the album Black Moses.

[We take a brief break from the World Cup–see post below–to mark the anniversary of the birth of Stephen Foster.]



From Wikipedia: Stephen Collins Foster (July 4, 1826 – January 13, 1864), known as the "father of American music," was the pre-eminent songwriter in the United States of the 19th century. His songs, such as "Oh! Susanna," "Camptown Races," "Old Folks at Home" ("Swanee River"), "Hard Times Come Again No More," "My Old Kentucky Home," "Old Black Joe," and "Beautiful Dreamer," remain popular over 150 years after their composition.

16 June: This is Our Day!

16 June 1976: 'This is our day'
by Lucille Davie

"It is a day violently etched on the South African collective conscience. Commemorated over 30 years later as Youth Day, an official holiday, it is the day that honours the deaths of hundreds of Soweto schoolchildren, a day that changed the course of the country's history: 16 June 1976.

On that day the government and the police were caught off guard, when the simmering bubble of anger of schoolchildren finally burst, releasing an intensity of emotion that the police controlled in the only manner they knew how: with ruthless aggression. SA History Online puts the number of dead at 200, far higher than the official figure of 23."

Dennis Hopper

"Breaking News Alert

-----
Dennis Hopper, Cinematic Iconoclast, Dies at 74

Dennis Hopper, whose portrayals of drug-addled, often
deranged misfits in the landmark films "Easy Rider,"
"Apocalypse Now" and "Blue Velvet" drew on his early
out-of-control experiences as part of a new generation of
Hollywood rebel, died at his home in Venice, Calif., on

Dennis Hopper, Actor and Iconoclast, Dies
By The New York Times

3:19 p.m. | Updated

Dennis Hopper, whose portrayals of drug-addled, often deranged misfits in the landmark films “Easy Rider,” “Apocalypse Now” and “Blue Velvet” drew on his early out-of-control experiences as part of a new generation of Hollywood rebel, died at his home in Venice, Calif., on Saturday. He was 74.

According to the Times obituary written by Edward Wyatt, Mr. Hopper died from complications of prostate cancer. His death was first reported by Reuters.

Mr. Hopper, who said he stopped drinking and using drugs in the mid-1980s, followed that change with a tireless phase of his career in which he claimed to have turned down no parts. His credits include at least six films released in 2008 and at least 25 over the past 10 years.

Most recently, Mr. Hopper starred in the television series “Crash,” an adaptation of the Oscar-winning film of the same title. Produced for the Starz cable channel, the show had Mr. Hopper portraying a music producer unhinged by years of drug use. During a promotional tour last fall for that series, he fell ill; shortly thereafter, he began a new round of treatments for prostate cancer, which he said was first diagnosed a decade ago.

Inverting a famous line of dialogue spoken by Peter Fonda in “Easy Rider,” Manohla Dargis wrote of Mr. Hopper in The New York Times:

"Dennis Hopper — actor, filmmaker, photographer, art collector, world-class burnout, first-rate survivor — never blew it. Unlike the villains and freaks he has played over the decades — the psycho with the mommy complex in “Blue Velvet,” the mad bomber with the grudge in “Speed” — he has made it through the good, the bad and some spectacularly terrible times. He rode out the golden age of Hollywood by roaring into a new movie era with “Easy Rider.” He hung out with James Dean, played Elizabeth Taylor’s son, acted for Quentin Tarantino. He has been rich and infamous, lost and found, the next big thing, the last man standing."

Robben Island: A Greater Goal

Last night U.S. television sports channel ESPN premiered a short film on South Africa's Robben Island as part of its Outside The Lines series.* Through interviews and footage of the country's most infamous prison, 'home' to revolutionary opponents of apartheid, the documentary charts the relationship of the formation of a prison soccer association to the crafting of the 1996 South African constitution - one based on both the rule of law and the practice of justice.

Mad World: Messages to the Future
a group exhibition seeking artistic Insight into the future

Opening Reception - Saturday, May 8th @ 7:30 p.m.

Featuring Jose Arenas, Carlos Castro, Emael, Chris Granillo, Erika Hannes, Hector Dio Mendoza, Johanna Poethig, Lady Reni, Joshua Short, Jose Antonio Suarez, Robert Trujillo, Christina Velazquez, Rio Yanez, and Marilyn Yu.

Work by artists’ that imagine the future in 40 years through a fictional history of objects. In considering work for the exhibition, artists’ were asked ponder the statement, ‘If you’re interested in the future, Invent it.” Responses range from both the artistic representation of objects 40 years from now, to witty and thoughtful statements about our cultural evolution. Through works such as future almanac entries, nomad friendly furniture and functional objects made from discarded material, the exhibition will display a unique imagining of what’s to come.

Last year, Galería organized an exhibition entitled Strange Hope in response to the ambivalent feelings of expectation and despair brought on by the inauguration of the Obama era and the simultaneous downfall of the economy. One year later, with the world in worse shape than ever before, we invited artists to think beyond the troubling times and instead summon a creative visioning of the future.

The exhibition paves the way for Galería’s 40th anniversary season. The exhibition will include an interactive component in which the public will be invited to share their thoughts, desires, and aspirations of Galería in 40 years. Entries will be included in a catalog as a ‘time capsule,’ which will then be preserved in Galería’s archive at the California Ethnic and Multicultural Archives at UC Santa Barbara.

Saturday, May 8: Twisted Toys and Mechanical Mischief

Artist in residence Michael Brown and the Learning Studio hosting the first annual, invitation-only "Twisted Toys and Mechanical Mischief" workshop.

Twisted Toys is a "live" event: Exploratorium visitors will watch the creative projects unfold over the course of the day. In the spirit of Project Runway, we'll videotape the workshop and capture each artist describing their toy-inspired vision and process. Michael Brown will play the helpful host (à la Tim Gunn), interviewing artists and offering guidance with the toys' mechanisms, as well as other general assistance.

23 creative individuals will take part in a day-long process of reinvention and reinterpretation. Each participant will begin with one of 23 identical, battery-operated toys. They will spend the next six hours using their favorite tools, a handful of pre-chosen supplies, and all of their skills and imagination to transform their toy into something special. At the end of the day, we'll demonstrate how 23 people can remake the same object into a variety of creations.

The finished works will be displayed at Maker Faire, May 22 and 23, and return to the Exploratorium's Studio gallery through June.

"We Have Met the Enemy and He Is PowerPoint"

[Below, excerpt and link to article by Elisabeth Bumillerin today's New York Times.]

"'PowerPoint makes us stupid,' Gen. James N. Mattis of the Marine Corps, the Joint Forces commander, said this month at a military conference in North Carolina. (He spoke without PowerPoint.) Brig. Gen. H. R. McMaster, who banned PowerPoint presentations when he led the successful effort to secure the northern Iraqi city of Tal Afar in 2005, followed up at the same conference by likening PowerPoint to an internal threat."

Chris Ware's rejected Fortune cover

From Boing Boing:

"It's not surprising that the editors of Fortune rejected cartoonist Chris Ware's fantastic cover for the May 2010 issue. It contains too much truth for comfort. Also, it hearkens back to the golden age of Fortune as an exemplar of beautifully designed and illustrated magazines, and so would have invited unkind comments about the magazine's typical current level of design aesthetics."

From Indie Pulp, reporting on the C2E2 [Chicago Comics and Entertainment Expo] panel that Ware participated in:

"[Ware] showed a cover he did for Fortune magazine which was supposed to be on the Fortune 500 issue. He accepted the job because it would be like doing the 1929 issue of the magazine, and he filled the image with tons of satirical imagery, like the U.S. Treasuring being raided by Wall Street, China dumping money into the ocean, homes being flooded, homes being foreclosed, and CEOs dancing a jig while society devolves into chaos. The cover, needless to say, was rejected."

Border Farm

"...an exhibition conceptualized by Thenjiwe Nkosi, featuring videos and writing by migrant farm works on the South African/Zimbabwe national border The show features works by Nkosi, Raymond Marlowe and the Maroi Farm Art and Drama Group.

Nkosi has been participating in a group project called Living In-Between, based in Musina, in Limpopo Province – the last town before the Zimbabwean border. Due to its ongoing history as a mining town surrounded by several productive farms, Musina’s population is largely comprised of migrants. The community of Maroi farm is made up of both Zimbabwean and South African farm workers.

Through a series of workshops held by Nkosi and Marlowe, along with Tapiwa Marovatsanga, Michelle Harris and Daniel Browde, a group of farm workers from Maroi Farm have been taking photographs, filming and writing about their experiences. Through their experiences one sees a confluence of contemporary issues and questions about national borders and their impact on individuals and communities – particularly communities under pressure. The idea of belonging is central to how self and group identities operate in situations of dislocation."

Artist's Statement:
"Looking at the black body as raced, gendered and classed in a literal, symbolic and figurative sense – becomes manifest of the ‘othering’ and its objectification. The availability of the black female body is precisely because black is available. The placing of African female bodies as the sentient black body is bent by colonial weight and injustice into the exotic, savage and fantasies of white imagination. The element of the performing black female body is undertaken in the representation of black identities as subjugated or silent – i.e the victim or the apologetic black.

Post-colonialism is still a western concept, a political project of subversion and deconstruction concentrated on Eurocentrism by reacting against the imposition of European cultures. By no means is this a deconstruction the black female body, but instead it constructs it further for the ‘Pleasure of European Gazers’. But the black female body is not only subjected by this white capitalistic supremacist gaze, it is further subjected to black patriarchy constructing the black female body through its own objectifying lens.

The black vagina can be used as a weapon against oppressors yet it also stands as a site of oppression, i.e: it is the site of contest – men fighting against each other inside and outside the colonial and radical demarcations; it is where war can be resolved and ignited (but this by no means propagates that white will fight or die for black pussy). It can exude a politic of positivity. The impetus of religion (Christianity) in reading the racial and gendered is important for the construction of the black female body. This is only a start of interrogating the content, context and function of religion on black women’s bodies. The idea is to bring to surface the process of subsuming everyday life; the mute world of commodities; text – textures and forms; and the religious reproduction in the contemporary."


Khanyisile Mbongwa was born in 1984 in Gugulethu, Cape Town, she is one of the founding members of the experimental art collective, the Gugulective, that has exhibited locally and internationally. In 2007 she established THE BINARY, a discussion group critically engaging with issues around the black condition and marginalization. She was part of the Cape 09 Bienalle , the fringe collective Artpays and has also served on the board of VANSA Western Cape. Khanyisile continues to produce and perform independently, while contributing to various collective arts initiatives.

In her most recent work, the physical video piece Fragments, Khanyi explores the subjects of racial inequality, intimidation and invasion as it is manifest in the Apartheid legacy.

ONE SHOT!
Football and contemporary art

"... an exhibition dedicated to contemporary art and football until 11 July 2010. Far from limiting itself to sports news (the Football World Cup) this project, entitled One Shot!, approaches numerous facets of this popular sport in connection with a multitude of challenges of the contemporary world. It also brings out the relationship that current artists maintain with the universe of football.

The starting point for this exhibition is the thoughts expressed by the Hungarian writer Péter Esterházy, who among others wrote Journey to the Depths of the Sixteen-Metre Line, a brilliant and comprehensive survey of both philosophical and autobiographical considerations on football. A former amateur footballer himself, Esterházy considers Ferenc Puskás, the mythical Hungarian football player of the 1950s, as a perfect metaphor for the modern world: "Puskás is the last public figure in football, a familiar personality, the last flash of light in modernity, the way towards the unique metaphor. After him, there are no more (only) stars, the situation of existence no longer has solutions, there are only versions of the answer, exemplary versions, of a high level (Cruyff, Pelé, Maradona)." And further in the book: "In other words: It is with Puskás that the game stops and that the age of entertainment begins."

Could football, the way it is covered by the media nowadays, metaphorically summarize the challenges of today's world? It is therefore based on this assumption that the first two works of the exhibition were selected. Rather than Ferenc Puskás, the Northern Irish player George Best is the one who seems to have best embodied the fulfilment of the modern dream, especially in the film Fussball wie noch nie that German director Hellmuth Costard dedicated to him: throughout a match against Coventry City, six 16-mm cameras closely follow Manchester United's star attacker, without paying any attention to the match itself. With all the attention focused on him alone, Best is therefore able to control his own space-time continuum, while the very fluid editing, alternating between quick accelerations and recovery stages, follows the moves of the one they used to call the "5th Beatles".

In reverse, thirty years later, artists Douglas Gordon and Philippe Parreno use seventeen cameras to follow the French player Zinedine Zidane during a match with Real Madrid, his last club, against Villareal. They thus deliver the portrait of an individual who is omnipresent in the media, yet whose personality remains elusive as it is exploded in a multitude of different stances. The pace of the film is made to be breathless, frantic even, via an editing technique taking its inspiration from both a video clip and the aesthetics of a video game. The combination of both projections, in the museum version of the work, heightens even further the feeling of speed and explosive power. The player appears disembodied, a purely virtual construction subject to a pace that is outside his control and imposed by media rules that, more than ever, have a crucial impact.

Another fifty works or so have been added in-between those two works, each exploring an aspect of today's football that might echo the modern world."

Artists: Juan Pérez AGIRREGOIKOA, Taku ANEKAWA, Mathias BRASCHLER & Monika FISCHER, Roderick BUCHANAN, Paolo CANEVARI, Jota CASTRO, Joseph CHATELAIN, Cedric CHRISTIE, Claude CLOSKY, Freddy CONTRERAS, Hellmuth COSTARD, Josef DABERNIG, Laurent DANDOY, Robert DAVIES, Stephen DEAN, Raoul DE KEYSER, Wim DELVOYE, DEMOCRACIA, Marie DENIS, Julius DEUTSCHBAUER, Patrick EVERAERT, mounir FATMI, Thierry FONTAINE, Massimo FURLAN, Kendell GEERS, Douglas GORDON & Philippe PARRENO, Andreas GURSKY, Julie HENRY, Runo LAGOMARSINO, Ingeborg LÜSCHER, This LÜSCHER, Laurent MARESCHAL, Andrea MASTROVITO, Eugenio MERINO, Priscilla MONGE, Gianni MOTTI, Laurent PERBOS, The Plug, PSJM, Jean-Pierre RANSONNET, Javier RODRIGUEZ, Pierre SCHWARTZ, Walter SWENNEN, Pascale Marthine TAYOU, Uri TZAIG, Yoann VAN PARYS, Marijke VAN WARMERDAM, Maria ZGRAGGEN

Jacques Brel

For better or worse, Jacques Brel, born on April 8, 1929, is primarily known in the United States–if at all–for the 1968 off Broadway production "Jacques Brel Is Alive and Well and Living in Paris," a musical revue of his songs.

An indelible icon of French popular music and culture, Brel was a brilliant, explosively emotional singer, willing to take an unflinching look at the dark side of bourgeois existence and the hopeless heartbreaking despair of romance.

Brel died of lung cancer at the age of 49.

Below is a video of "Une valse a mille temps." Headphones - encouraged - as is a review of all his songs.

CCAI Nevada Neighbors Lecture Series

"Everything Is Land Use: Humans and the Common Ground in America" Illustrated Talk by Matthew Coolidge

"Nevada Neighbors, the Capital City Arts Initiative's ongoing series of illustrated public talks, will host Matthew Coolidge, director of CLUI – The Center for Land Use Interpretation.

From Nevada’s location on the western edge of the Intermountain West in the center of the Great Basin, environmental issues speak to the heart of the state. A look at these issues through work created by scholars, environmental activists, and artists will provide new information and perspective on our delicate high desert environment.

Southern California-based CLUI has an experimental field station near Wendover in northeastern Nevada. Founded in 1994, CLUI takes a broadly interdisciplinary approach to the investigation of land use, drawing on the natural sciences, sociology, art, architecture, and history.

Mr. Coolidge is the author and editor of several books, including "Overlook: Exploring the Internal Fringes of America with CLUI", and "The Nevada Test Site: A Guide to the Nation's Nuclear Proving Ground."

Eric is Derek

[Clearly best known by most in this century as the most polished of guitarists, Eric Clapton has a formidable history as a bluesman and rocker. Below is a brilliant and somewhat enigmatic vintage 60's performance by Cream of "Sunshine of Your Love," on the occasion of Mr. Clapton's sixty-fifth birthday.]

Poem (Lana Turner has collapsed!)

Poem (Lana Turner has collapsed!)
Frank O'Hara

Lana Turner has collapsed!
I was trotting along and suddenly
it started raining and snowing
and you said it was hailing
but hailing hits you on the head
hard so it was really snowing and
raining and I was in such a hurry
to meet you but the traffic
was acting exactly like the sky
and suddenly I see a headline
LANA TURNER HAS COLLAPSED!
there is no snow in Hollywood
there is no rain in California
I have been to lots of parties
and acted perfectly disgraceful
but I never actually collapsed
oh Lana Turner we love you get up
