Merging spoken word and acoustic punk rock raconteur styles, this work-in-progress explores the impact of opium on the Chinese Diaspora as well as NYC’s punk/counterculture world through the dual prisms of William S. Burroughs’ character, “Johnny Yen”–immortalized in Iggy Pop and David Bowie’s song, “Lust For Life”–and my own Grandfather’s opium overdose on the streets of NYC’s Chinatown….with Special Guests for each performance

2. Paula Barr, FF Alumn, at Anthology Film Archives, Manhattan, Feb. 8

I am in Mark Rappaport’s film CASUAL RELATIONS which is showing at the Anthology Film Archives. It was Mark’s first feature film. My scenes were shot in my AIR loft at 210 Centre Street. Mark also lived in the building in 1973.

CASUAL RELATIONS
1973, 80 min, 16mm-to-digital
which is showing at the Anthology Film Archives
32 Second Ave, NYC
Sat, Feb 8 at 5:00 and Fri, Feb 14 at 8:45.

“Mark Rappaport’s first feature, made in 1973, has a title resembling that of Manuel DeLanda’s INCONTINENCE: A DIARRHETIC FLOW OF MISMATCHES insofar as it points to formal as well as sexual relationships. In fact, CASUAL RELATIONS bears a distinct relationship to such films as Godard’s 1 + 1 and Makavejev’s WR: MYSTERIES OF THE ORGANISM of the same period, which link together widely different chunks of material almost like beads on a string. Rappaport’s example in this genre can be seen as a culmination and summation of his nine preceding shorts, all made between 1966 and 1971. Divided into chapters, CASUAL RELATIONS casually relates love and vampire movies, sound and image, style and obsession, and makes an excellent introduction to Rappaport’s glamorously home-made art cinema.” -Jonathan Rosenbaum

“Continuo a potenziare me stessa in quanto donna che sta invecchiando per rendere visibili profonde ricerche culturali, e per creare un impatto sull’etica di pensiero/comportamento e sull’integrazione mente-corpo-spirito della nostra struttura moderna” Coco Gordon
Coco Gordon, di origini italiane, è tra le più significative artiste ” intermediali” americane. Ha radici nel movimento “Fluxus”, anche se oggi preferisce non essere inserita in nessun gruppo specifico. Al centro dei suoi molteplici lavori si colloca l’intenzione di creare consapevolezza nei confronti dei problemi ecologici e sociali del nostro mondo.
Scritto storico-critico a cura di Asia Rota
Nel 1961 George Maciunas fonda il movimento Fluxus “caratterizzato da una totale apertura del linguaggio artistico a tutti i materiali del mondo e a tutti i flussi dell’esistenza”, si tratta non solo di opere fisiche ma anche e soprattutto di azioni che hanno come obiettivo portarci a riflettere sulla quotidianità e sull’arte, sul rapporto fra le due e sulla distanza fra le due.
Le modalità di espressione di questo nuovo movimento sono decisamente ampie: oltre alle opere pittoriche che hanno come punto di partenza l’informale/gestuale, grandi protagoniste sono la performance, l’happening, la musica, il cinema, il design, la letteratura, la corrispondenza postale; in particolare è interessante soffermarsi sul fatto che Fluxus sia un movimento aperto, o come meglio precisa Dick Higgins “un momento nella storia, un’organizzazione, un’idea, un modo di vivere, un gruppo di persone non fisso che compie fluxusvalori”: si tratta di un gruppo aperto e non definitivo di cui tutti possono fare parte anche solo per un momento, e senza necessità di dichiararsi tali davanti agli altri componenti del gruppo.
È un modo di essere all’interno del mondo artistico che include tutti coloro che lavorano con materiali quotidiani, spesso di riciclo, in un particolare rapporto con la vita e con il caso (o caos) in un’etica molto spesso marcata: il nome richiama una trasformazione costante che non consente una definizione chiara e delimitata del movimento, possiamo quindi affermare che si tratti di una ricerca
ancora oggi in continuo sviluppo.
Fluxus mette in discussione la distinzione fra arte e non-arte, ridicolizzando ogni idea di esclusività, di unicità, di individualità dell’artista, ironizzando sulla perizia tecnica, sulla ricercatezza, sull’altezza o profondità d’ispirazione, in questo si intravede una matrice Dada, dalla quale viene però a differenziarsi per l’apertura ad un gruppo di artisti molto più ampio e “popolare”. Fluxus non include solo ciò che viene riconosciuto come opera d’arte, ma anche tutto ciò che è semplicemente rivolto al creativo poiché l’unico vero obiettivo del suo artista è la realizzazione di un lavoro che ha responsabilità primariamente nei confronti dell’arte stessa, non si rivolge alla critica che precedentemente indicava la propria approvazione/ disapprovazione: il successo artistico è connesso alla creatività di un certo lavoro e del suo creatore, in un mondo ideale che esclude la consacrazione da parte della critica, eliminando la vecchia idea di sistema artistico. Il movimento fondato da Maciunas, dunque, si arricchisce di contenuti nuovi tramandati dal passato artistico e dagli avvenimenti storici, ma al tempo stesso semplifica le sue modalità di messa in scena, facendosi più scarno nell’espressione, più povero e/o naturale nella materialità, più rapido nell’elaborazione,
più pulito nel contenuto.
Fluxus conserva molto del precedente Dada, tanto che insieme ad altre forme artistiche contemporanee fra cui la Pop Art, viene spesso richiamato sotto il nome più ampio di Neo- Dada (Maciunas stesso chiamava inizialmente il movimento Neo-dadaism), questi tre diversi movimenti possono giungere a soluzioni visivamente molto simili, ma la differenza sostanziale è intangibile eppure importante: mentre Dada è un tipo di espressione che rifiuta l’arte, quindi un’anti- arte, Andy Warhol dichiara che “tutto è arte”, e Joseph Beuys sostiene che “anche pelare una patata può essere arte”, insomma, mentre il primo elimina l’idea di arte ed invece esalta l’idea di vita come “ben più interessante” rispetto all’arte, la Pop Art innalza la semplicità al livello dell’arte, ed il Fluxus abbassa l’arte al livello della semplicità, mantenendo la stessa ideologia creativa Dada ma semplicemente al contrario di essa non rinnegando l’idea di arte ed ampliandola ad un gruppo aperto e illimitato, la differenza non è tanto nel risultato estetico ma nell’intenzione artistica.

The Do-Mystics: Arantxa Araujo and Monique Blom in two articles published by The Humanities Council at Princeton University: BEING HUMAN: Reflections on Belonging(s) in Movement
https://humanities.princeton.edu/2020/01/30/being-human-reflections-on-belongings-in-movement/

“The opening performance by the Do-Mystics was in many ways responding to the 2005 letter in the Princeton Alumni Weekly magazine by Gisela Kam, a cataloguer at Firestone Library, titled “A Soulless Place,” which describes how East Pyne’s courtyard was built over a garden, uprooting its poplars, ferns and various inhabitants. The performance, which took place in the same courtyard, brought garlands of foraged stinging nettle among other leaves and vines, an homage to what was once rooted there. The performance itself-as Monique Blom and Arantxa Araujo became silent, moving statues that occupied the courtyard-answered the question: What does it take to stop, slow, interrupt and disrupt the circulation of bodies and the speed of productivity at Princeton? A group of people gathered and witnessed, a pensive and active silence blanketing the space. A runner crossing the courtyard stopped, pulled out his headphones and sat on a bench to watch the performance, and stood up to intervene in a staged tug-of-war between the two performers. At its end, the performers prompted a collective lead-in to the building, as witnesses stirred the dust (literally, dispersed by the performers), activating the “soulless place.” This palimpsestic intervention breathed life into the “dead stone” of this settlement and opened into readings that meditated on the living present and presence of colonial legacies, and on life that grows through their cracks”.

“In one drop of water are found all the secrets of all the oceans.” – Kahlil Gibran

The current series of monotypes by Suzanne Stokes explores water as substance, metaphoric allusion, and forms a collective narrative that addresses mankind’s complicated relationship to this essential natural resource. Through the divergent lenses of micro and macro perspectives, she examines the nature of existence and its relationship to water on physical and metaphysical planes. Water means life. We are in a time period of our environmental history where the human race must fully embrace and embody this fact. Earth is the only known planet in this universe that has water and life. Water is the lifeblood of our bodies, our economy, our nation and our well-being. The integration and interaction of the figures with water, in the monotypes, looks at how the interplay of relationships, spiritualism, and stewardship of the earth shapes our modern world.
A variety of printmaking, papermaking and embossing techniques are combined with the press to print monotypes made from a series of layered vellum stencils and natural materials. The monotypes are embossed with a wide variety of plants from the Hudson Valley’s local forests and Maine’s mid-coast Atlantic Ocean.
