Trash Humpers Screening @ Open Space

Hooray! Free screening of Harmony Korine's Trash Humpers 
Friday, October 1   10:00pm
2720 Sisson Street


"It's kind of like an ode to vandalism. There can be a creative beauty in their mayhem and destruction. You could say these characters are poets or mystics of mayhem and murder, bubbling up to the surface. They do horrible things, but I never viewed them as sad characters. They're comedic, with a vaudevillian horror element to what they do. They dance as they smash things and set them on fire. They're having a great time." - Harmony Korine

Hart of London @ the Charles Theatre

Hart of London by Jack Chambers
Monday, July 5, 2010
9:30pm
The Charles Theater

Rare screening, one night only:
The Hart of London is an experimental film that has been enormously important to those that have had the opportunity to see it. It's a film that grapples with the complexities of life, birth, death, community, family, time and history and the transcendental beauty and wonder of it all.

Avis Lang writes " The Hart of London is one of Chamber's masterpieces; it is not a narrative unfolding at a suitable aesthetic distance but a metaphoric process that one undergoes, that even the artist finds himself undergoing in the presence of what he has made." Stan Brakhage calls it one of the greatest films ever made.

Thursday, February 25 at 7pm

The Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) hosts Faythe Levine, co-author of Handmade Nation: The Rise of DIY, Art, Craft, and Design, to present a free screening of the 2009 documentary film of the same name and discuss the contemporary craft movement with the audience. Dubbed “the ambassador of handmade” by the New York Times, Levine in 2004 founded Art vs. Craft, Milwaukee’s independent craft fair. She is co-owner and curator of Paper Boat Boutique & Gallery in Milwaukee.

About the film: In 2006, Levine traveled to 15 cities and interviewed 80 artists and designers to capture the virtually tight-knit community that exists through Web sites, blogs and online stores and connects to the greater public through independent boutiques, galleries and craft fairs. Interviews were also conducted in artists’ studios and homes of the featured makers.

This screening and talk is in conjunction with the Warren Seelig: Textile per se exhibition on view at MICA. For a sneak peek of Handmade Nation, visit www.handmadenationmovie.com.

Matthew Barney Film Screenings @ Shriver Hall

The Center for Art, Design & Visual Culture at UMBC presents:


Matthew Barney Film Screenings
7 pm - Thurs, Oct. 29
Shriver Hall, JHU
FREE

Films:
Cremaster 4, 1994

Cremaster 4, was Barney's first film in a series of five called Cremaster Cycle. Biologically, the cremaster is a muscle that raises and lowers the testicles. Barney uses the descension of the cremaster muscle as a symbol for the onset of male gender (which appears about nine weeks after a fetus is conceived). The five films progress from a state of undifferentiated gender (a fully ascended cremaster muscle, represented by floating Goodyear Blimps and other symbols), through the organism's struggle to resist gender definition, to the inevitable point where maleness can no longer be denied (complete descension of the cremaster and release of the testes).


Drawing Restraint 10, 2005

The Drawing Restraint series is a project Barney began while an undergraduate at Yale. The central theme of the series is the relationship between self-imposed resistance and creativity. Barney's theory is that encumbrance can be used to strengthen an artists output, much as resistance is used by athletes to build muscle. Drawing Restraint 10 is a video re-staging Drawing Restraint 6, which was never documented. In this video, Barney jumps on a trampoline which has been set at an angle, attempting to draw two linked field emblems on the ceiling.
