Cultural Stimuli in CHI
Issue 115: melting-pot flavor
While no one's arguing against the preservation of ethnic customs and heritages, there is definitely something to be said for the exciting mélange that results from cultural cross-pollination. (Aren't you happy we didn't drop an extended Chicago-style hot-dog analogy on you?) This week, the debate surrounding assimilation is explored through a panel discussion at the Hideout, while a reading by former UN peacekeeper Roméo Dallaire details the tragedy that ensued when ethnic tensions exploded in Rwanda. Québec exports Malajube may make melody en français, but at no point does their anthemic indie rock get lost in translation. Elsewhere, we're reminded of the power of the press through 19th-century artist José Guadalupe Posada's surreal illustrations, and are treated to the doleful sounds of DeVotchKa — whose multicultural melancholy is a powerfully orchestrated blend of Mexican and Eastern European influences. Finally, brassy comedienne Lisa Lampanelli advocates cultural unity by tearing everybody down with enough impertinence and insults for all. Keep stirrin' the pot, and spread it.

As head of the ill-fated UN peacekeeping mission in Rwanda, Canadian Lieutenant General Roméo Dallaire was charged with enforcing the Arusha Accords and safeguarding the new Rwandan government from 1993-1994. Armed with only 5,500 troops, Dallaire watched in horror as Hutu extremists systematically slaughtered more than 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus. The 100-day-long genocide exacted an extraordinary emotional toll on the Lieutenant General, and he returned home haunted by the angry eyes of those who perished. Dallaire's book, Shake Hands with the Devil: The Failure of Humanity in Rwanda, is both a harrowing indictment of the UN's incompetence and a moving memoir of a man consumed by guilt. (SN)

As the half-million protesters who flooded the Loop last March demonstrated, immigration is an issue that has reached critical mass. While many want immigrants to assimilate, blending into the American "melting pot," others argue for the right to hold onto their individual cultures and languages, establishing pocket communities within a so-called American "salad bowl." Tonight's discussion brings Allert Brown-Gort, associate director of the Institute for Latino Studies of Notre Dame, and Brian Perryman, former director of the Chicago District of the US Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), together to speak on the subject and see if they can come to an understanding — or at least generate more immigration-as-food metaphors.

|
|
Québec's music scene has been as rich as a plate of gravy-slathered poutine recently, and Montreal band Malajube have benefited from the north-of-the-border buzz. But the group's lush, kinetic rock deserves attention beyond its of-the-moment Canadian origins. Singer Julien Mineau emotes in la langue officielle, which doesn't easily translate for most Americans — his effortlessly insouciant and ecstatic delivery, however, transcends the language barrier. 2004's Trompe L'oeil, which finally saw a US release this year, recombines a spazzed-out array of fist-pumping indie-rock signifiers (huge drums, off-center guitars, oodles of singing) to spine-tingling effect.

Event Info | Lewis Klahr |
|
|
Avant-garde filmmaker Lewis Klahr uses collage imagery and old-school animation to create hauntingly poetic, visually arresting surrealist films that imbue discarded bits of cultural ephemera with sensuality and archetypal meaning. Fascinated with "the pastness of the present" since he began making films in the '70s, Klahr reconfigures memories by lovingly coaxing metaphor from found photographs, old medical books, postcards, and other forgotten pop-culture imagery. Klahr appears tonight to present two of his recent films: the otherworldly, richly colored Daylight Moon (A Quartet) and the abstract crime narrative Three Minutes to Zero Trilogy. (SN)

In his recent series Copia, photographer Brian Ulrich wryly examined post-9/11 consumer mores, depicting masses of shopping carts at IKEA, dazed purchasers at Home Depot, and vast rows of checkout counters at Target. In his new series, Thrift, Ulrich turns his lens on decidedly less-refined retail environments with a group of photos shot in thrift stores, revealing shelves sagging with discarded computers, mountains of cast-off stuffed toys and athletic shoes, makeshift displays, and dejected bargain hunters. It's an ideal foil to Copia's gleaming locations, and a smart commentary on the socio-cultural implications of the life cycle of "stuff." (AM)

Midwestern art collaborative OODA Group (an acronym for the very corporate-buzzword-esque "Observation, Orientation, Decision, and Action") integrates concept and design in site-specific multimedia installations. OODA artists have displayed baby chickens in an empty factory space, created an office-like environment in a gallery with ceiling tiles and a vent pumping perfumed air, published comics in local newspapers, and replicated the sound and sensation of a rainstorm. Here, group members Shaun Owens-Agase and Tyler Peterson present colossal, sculptural text that spells "World War Four" in an installation that corresponds perfectly with the MCA's current design-as-revolution exhibition, Massive Change.

Born and raised in New Orleans, Loretta Bourque has a taste for the dramatic, absurd, and delightfully perverse. Her paintings include a series focused on dogs and unconditional love; an 18-strong set of portraits depicting friends of the artist wearing the same tattered pink tutu; and a collection of "self-deprecating self-portraits," including Self-Portrait with Camel Toe and the comically disturbing Self-Portrait as Plushie, in which Bourque wears a furry, blue bear costume and a not-so-innocent gag over her mouth.

Alan Goldsher: Modest Mouse: A Pretty Good Read
|
|
Modest Mouse have always begged a certain amount of literary-style analysis, and not just because of their Virginia Woolf-checking band name. Isaac Brock's cynical, earnest lyrics — made all the more poignant by the revered singer's chaotic stage presence and dramatic, tortured history of legal run-ins and bizarre fights — have a smart edge that begs for bookish obsession. The recently released Modest Mouse: A Pretty Good Read, Alan Goldsher's unauthorized band biography, trains a microscope on the incidents that crystallized Brock's lyrical outlook. Though Goldsher relies on secondhand sources, his in-depth summation does the band's troubled story justice. (PS)

Chris Ligon and Heather McAdams don't live in Chicago anymore (apparently, Delaware has a cultural vibrancy Chicago can't touch), but that hasn't stopped them from returning to host their annual Li'l Country Calendar Show, a jam-packed evening of country-themed short films and music. Inspired by a country-music wall calendar, McAdams and Ligon started screening vintage 16mm films of the stars from the calendar — such as Earnest Tubbs and Melba Montgomery — followed by local artists, like Neko Case and Andrew Bird, performing those legends' songs. The annual hoedown celebrates its tenth anniversary this year and features Chicago musicians Jon Langford, Kelly Hogan, Robbie Fulks, and a slew of others gussied up in period-appropriate attire.

DeVotchKa w/ My Brightest Diamond
|
|
DeVotchKa plumb the depths of gypsy duende — or sorrowful expression — with their eclectic orchestration of bouzouki, theremin, guitar, drums, and vocals. Giving us a dose of that tuba-driven oompah energy, the band also mixes mariachi melodies with Spaghetti Western themes, klezmer riffs, and rhythmic passages that erect the scaffolding around which Nick Urate wraps his haunting vocals. A sort of Slavic Radiohead, DeVotchKa's quartet produces an unpretentious, proper fusion of musical trends on the verge of a breakthrough. My Brightest Diamond's Shara Worden brings a Kate Bush-esque intensity to the rock balladry in her opening set. (JK)

Archaeology w/ Whale|Horse and Doses
|
|
Tonight, local multi-instrumentalists Archaeology celebrate the release of their long-awaited, full-length debut, Chant Chant Camp. Recalling the mellowness of the Sea and Cake, with softly tumbling vibes, gently building guitar lines, and atmospheric harmonies, the album deftly navigates hyper-complex rhythmic structures and glistening instrumental interludes. But at the drop of a guitar pick, the arrangements abruptly collapse, hurtling into post-punk territory as vocalists Nicholas Mirzabegian and Brad Smith trade disjointed yelps that recall the spirited breakdowns of old Cursive or At the Drive-In. Whale|Horse and Doses open. (SN)

With its nickname, "Old Pueblo," Tucson, Arizona, doesn't seem to be a likely musical mecca. (One of the more well-known songs Tucson made famous recently was the satiric "Throw the Jew Down the Well," which Kazakh reporter Borat sang at the city's Country West Bar in 2004.) But as the documentary High and Dry demonstrates with scores of interviews and live footage, the arid town has incubated a certain hearty breed of musician for years. Folks such as Giant Sand's Howe Gelb, helmet-wearing enigma Bob Log III, and cow-punk Al Perry have helped make this desert city's music scene blossom. (PS)

Mannequin Men w/ the Fake Fictions
|
|
Structuring their songs around crashing kit work and brash, affected machismo, the fresh-faced youngsters of Mannequin Men command a stoned seductiveness that belies their collective youth. Last year's self-released Showbiz Witch — an impressive, garage-y debut in the style of the Stooges or early Wire — was recorded live but still did little justice to their intense shows, which veritably drip with intoxicated lechery. The standout "Girls" cracks and breaks over simple bass lines, a bit of jangly guitar, and sexed-up moans. Plus, their charming Velvet Underground and Wipers covers are enough to make them your favorite band, like, ever. Power-pop experts Fake Fictions open. (SN)

Julie Blackmon's photographs are tender portraits of children and unruly family scenes, evoking modernized, mannered updates of work by Jan Steen and other Dutch-Flemish genre painters. The eldest of nine siblings herself, the Springfield, Missouri-based Blackmon photographs her own three kids in domestic interiors. She juxtaposes her stylistic touchstones — meticulous and elegant composition, traditional furniture, and saturated jewel tones against an otherwise restrained palette — with surreal touches and decidedly contemporary elements. Her little ones play with Bubble Tape, iBooks, and Bratz dolls, cleverly revealing timeless family dynamics and addressing ongoing struggles between art, work, and family. (AM)

This exhibit displays the Art Institute's incredible, rarely seen collection of Mexican "broadsides." Distributed freely on the street, these flyers cover everything from political scandals to the latest sheet music to risqué short stories — like a late-19th century version of RSS feeds. Despite the depth of news and curios they cover, the illustrations themselves are the real headliners. The graphic prints — by José Guadalupe Posada, Manuel Manilla, and various anonymous artists — depict satirical skeletons, grotesque insects, and other supernatural beings, revealing the magic and wonder behind everyday happenings.

A true artist's artist, Richard Tuttle has managed to defy easy categorization since he first started exhibiting in the mid-1960s. Sometimes a sculptor, other times a painter, here and there an installation artist and printmaker, the enigmatic post-minimalist is always, at the center of his work, a draftsman, fascinated with the lively, unexpected qualities of the hand-drawn line. It's his love of lines that threads together more than three decades of wildly divergent work in this rare museum retrospective. In contrast to the sprawling Massive Change exhibition downstairs, Tuttle has taken over the MCA's top floor with quiet, humble works of subtle, startling intelligence. (AF)
Which of Tuttle's New York cohorts in minimalism shares his interest in the Tao? The third correct response wins a pair of free admission tickets.

DVD REVIEW: My Morning Jacket, Okonokos: The Concert |
|
|
ATO Records
Released October 2006
$19.98 (Amazon)
|
My Morning Jacket played an industry-only showcase at NYC's small Mercury Lounge a few years back and the diehard fans queued in the freezing cold for hours despite faint hopes of getting inside — ample indication that the Southern indie-rock outfit's recent major-label signing was just a harbinger of success to come. Since the acclaim of 2005's Z, MMJ have moved onto much bigger venues, better-honed performances, and increasingly devoted audiences. The Okonokos DVD captures a show at San Francisco's Fillmore, spanning 20 tracks of reverb-drenched, country-tinged, atmospheric bombast. While the Dolby 5.1 sound is great, the visual footage (directed by Sam Erickson) makes for one of the best-shot performances in recent memory, taking full advantage of exceptional lighting and stage design.

STREAMS: DJ MEHDI |
|
|
With a roster that boasts Justice, Zongamin, and SebastiAn, Parisian label Ed Banger has been killing it this year, and it has another secret weapon up its sleeve. In addition to his new album, Lucky Boy, DJ Mehdi is building buzz with a podcast that showcases his mix-mashes of synthy pop nuggets. On the first two installments, "Everything Black Party Music" and "Paris to NYC," Rakim, Bambaataa, and Prince call out Clipse, J Tim, and labelmate Uffie. Mehdi taps into that hybrid strain of late electro and early rap, flashing as much glitter as gold chain, and his busy-but-brilliant blends have the amped eclecticism of early battle-DJ megamixes. The latest edition, "Loukoums," is a collection of funky, cosmic outtakes from his new album. (TW)
