RUN! It’s getting ugly
by Susana Cook
A family melodrama for these fascist times.

A hysterical satire about racism and discrimination.

Music by Julian Mesri

A pretty ordinary white nationalist family falls into a muddy and desperate identity crisis when they are attacked by La Contaminación Cultural. Their sense of language, grammar and origin gets altered, making them confused of who they really are.

Lights: Hao Bai

Cast:
Susana Cook as Donnie Darko, the father
Mistah Coles as Hanna, his wife
Juan Reyna as Tommy, their son
Moira Cutler as Alejandro Roberto Ramon Gonzales, the Salsa teacher
Alexandra Pinel as the wife of the salsa teacher
Katherine Horejsi as the mother of the salsa teacher and the neighbor’s meeting organizer
Simba Yangala as the next door neighbor and the wife of the salsa teacher (Saturday 3rd)
Jo Robertson as the next door neighbor
Atsuko Matsuyama, the opera singer and Ms Gallagher, a neighbor

In this comedic play a family falls in a crisis when their son learns two words in Spanish at school. The crisis produced by this event reveals that Donnie the father was born of Mexican parents and Hanna, his wife is of Irish origine. The neighbors find out that there’s a Mexican in the neighborhood and they are worried about the value of their property to go down. With a song “We hate you” they end up (symbolically) killing Donnie.

In the epilogue dead Donnie will explain what happened to the evangelists the day that Jesus returned, at the same time that they were rapturing.

TAMAR ETTUN
JUBILATION INFLATION
Exhibition Dates: October 12 – December 15, 2018
Opening Reception & Art Walk: October 12, 2018 (5 – 9 pm)
Performance: October 12, 2018 (6:15 pm- 7 pm)

The Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art is pleased to present the culmination of a multiyear international art tetralogy by Tamar Ettun. Jubilation Inflation unifies different areas of the artist’s practice in a multifaceted examination of trauma, healing, and radical empathy.

On view in the museum’s East Gallery from October 12 to December 15, 2018, this solo exhibition consists of several parts. At the center, there is an intimate compartment containing an installation of interactive audio work. It is surrounded by mixed media sculptures, experimental videos, and four inflatable room-sized environments where visitors will be enveloped by a climate of vivid color. Influenced by the avant-garde individualism of mid-twentieth century art movements such as Fluxus and Gutai, Ettun asks us to explore the experience of play. Playfulness, in the context of her work, offers us a chance to process our engagement with the world.

Movement is essential to Ettun’s work, even her still sculptures have been constructed so that they seem to gesture like human bodies. Made from cloth and found objects, they encounter the space of the gallery with an aura of vulnerable personhood. That atmosphere of vulnerability extends into the snug central area of the exhibition where a video shows us how interactions with soda bottles, sardine tins, and other commodities can become primal expressions of alarm and desire. Flights of paratroopers in another video invert their encounter with the sky and float back into their planes.

A video program of colorful, feminist, funny, and poetic works composed by Ettun will accompany the exhibition. This program will include works by Alika Cooper (Chthonic (Ivy), 2018), Cheryl Donegan (Cheryl , 2005), Trulee Hall (The Blue Fertile, 2018), Joan Jonas (Reanimation, 2010/2012/2013), and Jen Liu (Pink Slime Caesar Shift, 2018).
Local dancers from the UNLV Department of Dance will perform Blue from the repertoire of The Moving Company, a performance art ensemble led by Ettun. A collaborative rehearsal process led by the mover Tina Wang will reinterpret Blue with specific motions and placements. This piece is a live improvisation of ritual-like actions that interweave personal vocabularies of object-oriented movement with a contemporary community.
The question of negotiating a world where we are exposed to both pain and joy has played a constant role in Ettun’s career. The human potential for transformation through empathy has absorbed her since her upbringing in Israel where she lived with two siblings suffering from cystic fibrosis and eventually witnessed the numbing impact of institutional brutality when she was conscripted into a military parachute regiment as a young adult.

“I observed closely how dealing with trauma and PTSD increases rigidity and shuts down communication, as conversation requires a flexible position and contains the potential to change and be changed by another person,” she says. “This personal experience led to some of the themes of my practice today – for instance, my resistance to simple binaries of right and wrong, which I experience through the fluidity of play and the senses.” The metamorphosis of parachute fabric from a vehicle for martial aggression into the soft, bright walls of her inflatable rooms typifies the alchemy she creates. Her structured spaces reveal the human spirit through simple materials such as fabric, inflated air, tape, stitches, ropes, and wood.
Each previous iteration of the tetralogy has found new ways to draw connections between color and emotion, dividing the project into blue/empathy, yellow/desire, pink/aggression, and orange/ joy. Jubilation Inflation brings all four elements together for the first time, introducing Las Vegas and the Western United States to the world of Tamar Ettun at a crucial moment in her career.

Audio walls include sound pieces from The Moving Company performances and videos by Helado Negro with voice by Maia Karo (Yellow), Nire (Pink), and Atteler (Blue). The title for the exhibition is inspired by On Orange, a poem by Rose McLarney.

This project is funded in part by a grant from the Nevada Arts Council, a state agency, and the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency.

Tamar Ettun is a sculptor and a performance artist based in Brooklyn, New York. She has had exhibitions and performances at Art Omi Sculpture Garden, The Watermill Center, e-flux, Sculpture Center, Knockdown Center, Madison Square Park, Bryant Park, Socrates Sculpture Park, Indianapolis Museum of Art, The Jewish Museum, Uppsala Art Museum, Fridman Gallery, Braverman Gallery, PERFORMA 09, 11 and 13, among others. She received awards and fellowships from The Pollock Krasner Foundation, Franklin Furnace, MacDowell Fellowship, Marble House Project, RECESS, The Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, Art Production Fund and Iaspis. Ettun founded The Moving Company, an artist’s collective creating performances in public spaces and a social engagement project with Brooklyn teens hosted by The Brooklyn Museum. Ettun received her MFA from Yale University in 2010 where she was awarded the Alice English Kimball Fellowship. She studied at Cooper Union in 2007, while earning her BFA from Bezalel Academy, Jerusalem. She teaches at Columbia University School’s of Arts, Lehman College, and The New School Parsons School of Design. ORANGE, the final performance of the tetralogy will premiere at Pioneer Works in 2019.

The Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas believes everyone deserves access to the arts. The Barrick is a university museum, community gathering space, and site for interdisciplinary collaboration with the potential to transform lives and create lasting change. Founded in 1967 as a museum of natural history, the Barrick’s incorporation into the College of Fine Arts and evolution into an art museum was accompanied by a renewed commitment to ideas. The museum trusts in the power of artists to convey complex information in an unparalleled form. It is the work of the museum to provide a platform for artists to speak in the world. Recognizing that a history of representation enriches a community, the museum is forming a diverse collection of artists with connections to the Southern Nevada region. Research, conservation, and the pursuit of radical interdisciplinary practices are welcomed. By cultivating a robust, free program of exhibitions and events, the Barrick continues to be a place where the arts can become part of everyone’s life.

ART IN ODD PLACES 2018: BODY, curated by Katya Grokhovsky, presents 45 projects by women, female identifying, and non-binary artists. The theme BODY explores agency, politics and status of the “other” in an urban environment, through various media including performance, installation, sculpture, photography, sound, video, and text.
This year, forty five selected local, national and international participants challenge notions and societal constructs of gender, age and beauty, analyze contemporary ideas of self, death, sex, viscera and health, explore issues of otherness, body image, language, memory and belonging through staging of multimedia interdisciplinary projects, movement and participatory works, artifacts and ephemera, considering issues of exclusion, displacement and absence in the current discourse.
Art in Odd Places aims to stretch the boundaries of communication in the public realm by presenting artworks in all disciplines outside the confines of traditional public space regulations. AiOP reminds us that public spaces function as the epicenter for diverse social interactions and the unfettered exchange of ideas.
There are two components to AiOP: a gallery exhibition opening Thursday, October 4th, 6-8 pm, running until October 27th; and a public outdoor festival all along 14th Street, which opens on Thursday, October 11th, 6-8 pm, and runs through Sunday, October 14th.

TULLIDO
Performance-Dance Project, 2018

Take Root at Green Space
37-24 24th Street, Suites 211 & 212
Long Island City, NY 11101
https://www.greenspacestudio.org/take-root/

TULLIDO, the new performance-dance project by interdisciplinary artist, HECTOR CANONGE, will have its world premiere in the program Take Root at Green Space in Long Island City, Queens, on Friday, October 12th and Saturday, October 13th, 2018. The solo performance-dance project was inspired by literary readings about the “crippled body” and “corporal damage,” as well as the artist’s own battle against Rheumatic Fever. Canonge’s new work incorporates elements of dance theater, Butoh Dance, Performance Art, and ritualistic somatic expressions that evoke internal struggles, physical constraints, and personal inadequacies when confronted by physical challenges. The work, divided in three chapters, consists of choreographed movements, performative actions, and experimental dance with mixed sounds by Cronosonic Gems. In a recent interview, Canonge explained:

“In 2009, I began to incorporate Performance Art to my art practice. Since my first presentation at Topaz Arts in Queens, my performances have integrated elements of movement where choreographed instances are an important element of corporal resistance and aesthetic fluidity. I was not dancing, yet I was moving, and the movement that I created for my performances was noticed by critics and gallerists. Following the advice of a colleague, I was encouraged to explore Butoh Dance. My return to the dance studio, after years of battling and recovering from Rheumatic Fever, was a revelation. Butoh became my new dance practice, first in Germany, and since 2015, in New York City where I met my mentor and teacher Vangeline. Since then I have studied with Vangeline Theater and the Butoh Institute’s workshops with Katsura Kan, Yumiko Yoshioka, Atsushi Takenoushi, Tetsuro Fukuhara, and Mari Osanai, among others. The proposed work, an allegory to transformation, rediscovery, and self-realization, is a piece that evokes my own medical story/history as well as the struggles of people affected by long term ailments.”

Short Biography:
Hector Canonge is an interdisciplinary artist, curator, and cultural producer based in New York City. His work incorporates various forms of artistic expression: Performance Art, Experimental Dance, Multimedia Installation, and Social Practice to explore and treat issues related to constructions of identity, gender roles, and the politics of migration. Challenging the white box settings of a gallery or a museum, or intervening directly in public spaces, his performances mediate movement, endurance, and ritualistic processes. Some of his actions and carefully choreographed performances involve collaborating with other artists and interacting with audiences. His performances and media installations have been presented and exhibited in the United States, Latin America, Europe and Asia. Canonge

19. Ericka Beckman, FF Alumn, at Francesca Beale Theater, Manhattan, Oct. 6

On October 6 at 2:30 Ericka Beckman will be presenting at the NewYork Film Festival ‘Projection’ Series.
Two16mm films from the 1980s, restored by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will be on view in a special ‘Ericka Beckman Program’.

https://www.filmlinc.org/nyff2018/films/ericka-beckman-program/

Whimsically examining issues of self image, gender and female sexuality, Beckman’s surrealist odysseys employ universal narrative threads as allegorical building blocks for
ambitiously staged productions.

20. Mark Bloch, FF Alumn, in White Hot Magazine, now online

Hi, friends.

Here is an article I wrote about a powerful woman from Belgium who is tackling women’s issues in a powerful way in her paintings that deserve to be seen. I wrote this article because I was so blown away by her paintings.

https://whitehotmagazine.com/articles/eynde-at-cluster-gallery-brooklyn/4045

“Ria Vanden Eynde is a socially engaged artist who plucks her content almost like revenge from the news media’s coverage of societal policies, phenomena and systems that merge religion, capitalism and globalism with discriminatory and violent results. Vanden Eynde then visually processes this information, skillfully combining paint and her astute personal viewpoint to directly confront the problem: a constant bombardment of media images of women.”

“Vanden Eynde showed me her powerful 2017 Feminist series OBJECT!, poster-like paintings of women and girls inspired by images and stories found on the web and in written media, portraying “real” females as they are living everyday sexism, inequality, gender based violence. “Suggesting women must be sexual in order to even be seen, in images that so often objectify us, manipulate us and reduce us to our bodies.” Ria created a limited edition of postcards of each painting as “pin-up” postcards, to be distributed freely worldwide to feminist organizations, women’s artists organizations, gender studies departments, feminist art galleries, NGO’s, the UN and other venues and organizations.”

“The striking images depict:

women in the Syrian war, the Nigerian girls abducted by BOKO HARAM,everyday domestic violence depicted as a pandemic,the murder of Farkhunda, a young woman in Kabul who was brutally murdered after calling out a merchant selling amulets at a religious site,the Mexican protests ‘Ni Una Más,’against violence against women in Juarez the European refugee crisis of 2015 where thousands of migrants, especially women and children, drowned trying to reach Europe in rubber boats,the veiling of women,the trashing of the Affordable Care Act in favor of “Trump-care,” child brides…”

I also wrote a news article about the recent attack on the performance artist, Marina Abramović, in Florence:

“Abramović Bashed on Head in the Name of ‘Art'”

Art in Odd Places (AiOP) 2018 BODY NYC is curated by Katya Grokhovsky, presenting projects by women, female identifying and non-binary artists, taking place along 14th Street, NY on October 11-14, 2018, accompanied by a coinciding group exhibition Art in Odd Places 2018 BODY : Unseen/Reclaimed at Westbeth Gallery on October 4 – 27, 2018.
The theme BODY explores agency, politics and status of the “other” in an urban environment, through various media including performance, installation, sculpture, photography, sound, video and text.
This year, forty four selected local, national and international participants challenge notions and societal constructs of gender, age and beauty, analyze contemporary ideas of self, death, sex, viscera and health, explore issues of otherness, body image, language, memory and belonging through staging of multimedia interdisciplinary projects, movement and participatory works, artifacts and ephemera, considering issues of exclusion, displacement and absence in the current discourse.
Art in Odd Places, established and directed by Ed Woodham, aims to stretch the boundaries of communication in the public realm by presenting artworks in all disciplines outside the confines of traditional public space regulations. AiOP reminds us that public spaces function as the epicenter for diverse social interactions and the unfettered exchange of ideas.

OPHELIA: SANTA CRUZ & NYC | GROUP SHOWS IN NYC
Nube Gallery | Creative Climate Award | Art in Odd Places

NADJA VERENA MARCIN
OPHELIA’S DOMAIN on view now
Solo Exhibition from Sep 27 to Nov 2
Nube Gallery, Santa Cruz, Bolivia

OPHELIA’S DOMAIN is as site-specific multi-channel video-installation and solo exhibition at Nube Gallery in Santa Cruz, Bolivia from September 27 to November 2, 2018, curated by Rodrigo Rada. The week of the exhibition opening was accompanied by a Masterclass at the Faculty of Arts of the State University UAGRM and a workshop at Centro Cultural Simón I. Patiño Santa Cruz.

OPHELIA’S DOMAIN features the video of an underwater performance, stills from the live performance in San Francisco and Ophelia memes found in the worldwide web. The artwork invokes historical icons Ophelia (John Everett Millais, 1852), Three Ball Total Equilibrium Tank (Jeff Koons, 1985), and The Werld (Daniil Kharms, 1939) to merge body, art, science, and technology.

The 21st century OPHELIA is counterfeit by thousand of Ophelia memes of various authors, playfully multiplying and democratizing the icons one-dimensional symbolism, inherent hierarchy, and hidden ideology. The exhibition OPHELIA’S DOMAIN aims to symbolically transform a patriarchal past into the power of consciousness and fluidity. It speaks to the human desire for drama and tragedy and warns of potent self-destruction.

OPHELIA (How to make a performance) was a masterclass by Nadja Verena Marcin that took place on September 25, 6-8 pm at Faculty of Arts of the State University UAGRM. The same week Marcin also gave the workshop OPHELIA: PIY (Perform It Yourself) at Centro Cultural Simón I. Patiño Santa Cruz from September 26 to September 29, 10-1 pm, 2018.

OPHELIA: PIY (Perform It Yourself) was a workshop exploring performance, photography and video art as ways of reflecting on social and political constructs, human behavior and elemental emotions. In a three day workshop, the students were guided to develop their own performances.
