Cultural Stimuli in CHI
Issue 71: flickering flavor
As Chicago approaches the end of a historically warm January, we hear tell that winter does exist elsewhere in the country. If memory serves, that means snow, wool socks, and — at least in Park City, Utah — a cool front bringing stocked schwag bags, indie films, and celebutants. Ah, Sundance. The blizzard of a film festival has again descended over the Wasatch Range, and this year, Flavorpill files daily video and blog posts via our brand-spanking-new Flavorpill Sundance blog, keeping the cinephiles and pop-culture enthusiasts among you abreast of goings-on in the screening rooms and beyond. Chicago-bound snow bunnies do not fret — for you can experience a mini-Sundance of sorts by catching documentaries about the Origins of Animation, the granddaddy of glass-and-steel architecture, and the corporate takeover of the American judiciary. And though there's almost none of the real stuff around, you can make do with fake snow courtesy of Yutaka Sone's exhibition Forecast: Snow. Whether you're shusching the slopes or shushing your movie buddy, spread it.

David Robbins is a funny man. His deadpan, slow-boil sense of humor makes the artist, writer, and professor's lectures part education, part stand-up. "Funny" also describes Robbins' life's work: in over three-dozen solo exhibitions and four books (a fifth, The Velvet Grind: Selected Essays, Interviews, and Satires 1983-2005, is forthcoming in March), the relationship between art and humor is parsed, pursued, and parlayed into artworks like his Ice Cream Socials, which he's thrown from Des Moines to Paris. In today's lecture, Robbins looks at the inexpensive possibilities offered by the digital revolution (DVDs, websites, iPods, and cell phones) and how these new technologies impact contemporary artists — a topic more funny-peculiar than funny-ha-ha.

A US embargo, losing millions in Soviet subsidies, and a lack of capital can destroy buildings as much as acid rain and human neglect ever could, and Cuba holds one of the largest (and least preserved) treasure troves of Spanish Colonial architecture in the world. Many buildings are still standing at their original sites, though they're in dire need of restoration — luckily, local and international architects and designers are spearheading this painstaking process. Brown-bag your cubano sandwich and head to a free lunchtime discussion with architect George Ramos-Miller, a leader in the effort to clean up Cuba. (CB)

Walt Disney's cryogenically frozen head would like the world to believe that it invented animation, but that's simply not the case — Uncle Walt just figured out how to get rich from it. In ye olden days, before Mousketeers, before Japanese anime, and before fleets of tricked-out PowerMac G5s, animation was something of a cutting-edge novelty, smooshing together comic strips, vaudeville, and trial-by-error film experimentation. The Origins of Animation compiles films dating from 1906-18 by such pioneers as Emile Cohl, J. Stuart Blackton, and Winsor McCay, whose Gertie the Dinosaur is widely credited as the first cartoon character in the classic mold, paving the way for Disney's anthropomorphized mouse to rule the world.

Pelican w/ Russian Circles
|
|
Listening to Pelican's The Fire in Our Throats Will Beckon the Thaw feels like winning. Playing instrumental metal with a chilly mix of grit and gloss, Pelican plow through 11-minute, downtuned-guitar epics with anthem-sized chord changes that scream "triumph!," "power!," and "full success in the face of adversity!" The Chicago quartet has had a hell of a year, releasing the aforementioned skull-kick of an album, massaging the crowds at Pitchfork's Intonation Festival with throbbing walls of distortion, and amassing a rabid international fanbase — a difficult feat for a band of any genre, let alone instrumental drone-metal. In conclusion, Pelican are a true testament to the power of positive thinking, and, of course, rawk. Math-y, melodic upstarts Russian Circles open. (TG)

Black Diamond Heavies w/ Velcro Lewis & His 100 Proof Band and Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band
|
|
Put winter on hold — this kind of swamp rock demands to be heard on a steamy summer's night on the back porch, moonshine in one hand and shotgun in the other. Nashville's Black Diamond Heavies are a steel-belted, Southern blues-rock trio that curtails the noodling, lip-biting, guitar-jam tendencies of the genre, focusing instead on the blues' inherent darkness. Chicago's reigning rhythm-and-booze champs, Velcro Lewis & His 100 Proof Band, recently added an electric washboard and new drummer to their lineup; they uncork a newly distilled EP tonight, which ratchets up their already-loose Southern rhythms about 30 Diddley-degrees. Indiana's three-piece Rev. Peyton's Big Damn Band open with stripped-down roots-blues courtesy of acoustic guitar, snare drum, and washboard. (QH)
Today's washboard musicians can choose from up to five models handmade by which company, the only washboard manufacturer still operating in the USA today? The first two correct responses each win a pair of tickets to this down-home jamboree.

This award-winning film, accompanied by a mesmerizing score by Ramachandra Borcar (aka DJ Ram), is replete with anecdotes about the idiosyncrasies of the 20th-century master architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, as recounted by his many friends, colleagues, and protegés. "Less is more" was van der Rohe's mantra, and the obvious poetry of his greatest hits (New York's Seagram Building, Berlin's Neue Nationalgalerie, and our own S.R. Crown Hall) proves that he lived by his word. After seeing the film, the contrast between the timeless beauty of van der Rohe's creations and the bland imagination that befell urban architecture after his death seems starker than ever. (CF/AF)

Feist w/ Jason Collett
|
|
It didn't make the F-List this year, but it was damn close: Feist's Let It Die is the kind of singer/songwriter album that, like Joni Mitchell's Blue or Aimee Mann's Bachelor No. 2, bypasses critical nitpicking through sheer, gimmick-free sincerity and talent. A sometime-Broken Social Scenester, Leslie Feist writes timeless, sultry, soul-folk songs that ooze melancholy and a world-weary outlook. Much of Let It Die could have been written in '72 — from the disco-bred falsetto of "One Evening" and the sweet chanteusery of "Mushaboom" to the title track's clean, classic slow-jam refrain: "The saddest part of a broken heart / isn't the ending, so much as the start." Feist's Arts & Crafts labelmate, roots-rocker Jason Collett, opens. (TG)

Hefty Records' battle royale of adventurous electronic music returns tonight, co-sponsored by the scribes at RE:UP magazine. The forward-thinking lineup proves the local imprint hasn't lost a step: Recent label addition Eliot Lipp, a producer adept at re-molding classic hip-hop breaks into scintillating collages of tight drums and ethereal synths, performs live, along with Daedelus, a broken-beat genius who has worked with Mike Ladd and MF Doom. Slicker (the alias of label boss John Hughes III), Charlie Cooper (a member of organic/electronic group Telefon Tel Aviv), and Six8 the Jah Breaker (representing RE:UP) rock the turntables in between. (PS)

Low w/ His Name Is Alive and Death Vessel
|
|
With The Great Destroyer, Low's seventh album (and their first for Sub Pop, having switched from Chicago indie label Kranky), the Duluth, Minnesota-based trio departs somewhat from its original modus operandi — play as slowly and quietly as possible — venturing into fuzzier, reverb-ier, full-on pop/rock 'n roll territory. Fans of the band's slowcore sound need not be disappointed, as this new, harder edge is achieved live with Low's signature minimal instrumentation, moody elegance, and angelic harmonies. Dreamy-bluesy band His Name Is Alive and folky upstarts Death Vessel open. (AM)
"The Great Destroyer" is another name for which deity of which tradition? The fifth and sixth correct responses each win a pair of tickets to this event.

| MUSIC: Senegal-Hop |
Daara J w/ Star People
|
|
African hip-hop tends to slip under America's cultural radar — a fact that makes acts like Senegalese rap trio Daara J all the more impressive, as they posses the skills to generate legitimate buzz across the Atlantic. N'Dongo D, Aladji Man, and Faada Freddy have been making conscious hip-hop since 1994, but it wasn't until the domestic release of Boomerang, their third album, that American ears began to perk up. Their sound, a buoyant mix of reggae, hip-hop, and Cuban music, is as diverse as their lyrics, which riff on environmentalism, spirituality, and anti-globalization in a number of different languages. It's hip-hop come full circle. Star People open. (PS)
What is the Senegalese tradition from which Daara J claim hip-hop grew? The third correct response wins a pair of tickets to this event.

The current exhibition at Polvo features the work of 14 Texas artists working in a variety of media including painting, video, performance, drawing, and sculpture. An eclectic and playful picture emerges of the current Houston art scene, as nine of the featured artists are residents of the city. Highlights include Rene Cruz's paper sculpture of a horse being pulled apart by birds, and compelling video works by Peter Tucker and Teresa O'Connor. The range of work in this exhibition is as wide as the state of Texas, but, miraculously, it all fits neatly into the small Pilsen art space. (CC)

In this inaugural lecture event at local custom-dressmaking studio Dame Couture, fiber artist and apron collector Erika Fitzgerald traces the history of the apron from its humble, utilitarian roots to its mid-century status as a loaded cultural signifier of feminine domesticity. Fitzgerald explores how apron styles evolved along with fashion trends and women's roles. Later this winter and spring, tie one on — your very own handmade apron, that is — at one of Fitzgerald's Saturday apron-making workshops. (AM)

| MUSIC: Tiny Drumming |
Leonardson-Zerang Duo
|
|
Traditional drumset-style definitions of percussion can't adequately describe the fragile, tenuous music created by this avant-garde duo. Influenced by the work of John Cage, Eric Leonardson maps out new sonic territories on his one-of-a-kind, homemade Springboard, a cobbled-together collection of coil springs and everyday objects (such as rubber bands) mounted on an aluminum walker. Leonardson conjures up rich, reverberating sounds and vibrations manipulated in myriad ways. He's joined by Michael Zerang, an experimental drummer and longtime organizer of Chicago's free-jazz scene. (PS)

Event Info | Jah Wobble |
|
|
The bass-playing foundation of the legendary, John Lydon-fronted Public Image Ltd, Jah Wobble was fundamental in turning people on to post-punk's dubbier, artier edges. Born John Wardle — "Jah Wobble" is a nickname Sid Vicious supposedly coined while drunk — the bassist began treading down a solo path in the early '80s and hasn't looked back since. Whether he's exploring the avant-garde, creating stunning syntheses of Eastern and Western music (as he does on his new album, Mu), or collaborating with everyone from Sinead O'Connor to members of Can, Wobble always stays true to his eclectic, unpredictable musical vision. What's more (post-)punk than that? (PS)
In the late-'80s, Jah Wobble spent some time doing what non-musical job? The first two correct responses each win a pair of tickets to this show.

Porn, Madonna, art, and George W.

Paglia burst onto the academic scene in 1990 with the publication of Sexual Personae: Art and Decadence from Nefertiti to Emily Dickinson, and on the pop-culture scene as a founding contributor to Salon.com — but for the past few years she's maintained a surprisingly low profile, quietly working on her latest book, Break, Blow, Burn: Camille Paglia Reads Forty-Three of the World's Best Poems, in which she turns her discerning eye to different works from 28 poets, including Shakespeare, Shelley, and, interestingly, Joni Mitchell.

Documentarian Wayne Ewing has recently focused on the growing corporate influence in the US judicial system. Benched, Ewing's latest, follows the 2004 campaign for Illinois Supreme Court seats. The US Chamber of Commerce donated over one-million dollars to Republican judicial candidate Lloyd Karmeier — money it had originally received from Phillip Morris in an earlier fraud lawsuit. Morris was in the process of appealing to the state Supreme Court when the CoC made the donation; you do the math. Incidentally, Karmeier won his Supreme Court seat and last month overturned the fraud suit. Who says you can't buy justice? (PG)

Upstate New York-based artist Amy Hauber's gigantic Flaccid Rainbow — a soft, puffy, slightly dirty mishmash of pastel fabric tubing, duct-taped and propped atop pinewood scaffolding — dominates Western Exhibitions' gallery. Behind it, on a tiny monitor, loops a video of a birthday cake being lovingly decorated, then force-fed to a very unhappy-looking woman. Hauber's work can hardly be categorized: her series of clay and rubber sculptures, Consensual Self Gags, is both cheeky and disturbing; cute, spherical, duct-taped masks of the artist and her dog seem to float off a nearby wall, while a glitter-covered foam sign proclaims, "Pray for Us."

Made in China explores issues of cultural identity and the global consumer economy by way of China's manufacturing industry, which has been a powerhouse since 1972. The exhibition features large-scale photographs by Edward Burtynsky, whose formal compositions of factory interiors neatly capture the stoicism one would expect from the remnants of a Communist society. At the other end of the spectrum, a mixed-media installation by Michael Wolf captures the chaotic and vibrant excess of Western consumer culture. Also included are video installations by both Melanie Jackson and Jun Yang, the latter of which was featured in the 2005 Venice Biennale. (CC)

ROCK THE VOTE: 2006 PLUG Independent Music Awards |
 |
|
Since 2001, the PLUG Independent Music Awards have sought to expose and reward those musicians and thinkers skirting the mainstream, in hopes that "the margins become the bold print."
What began as a few friends' attempt to spread their own music preferences
— while offering an alternative to corporate hype-machines and
sales-driven awards — has thrived online, thanks to its populist
identity: that's right, you are PLUG. Along with a "cartel" of indie-community activists (from independent label execs to particularly
influential record-store clerks), the public decides whether Bloc Party or
Bright Eyes were more important in '05, whether Domino or Def Jux reigned
supreme, and whether BrooklynVegan or MySpace represented the best online
music resource. The deadline for casting your ballots is January 30th and tickets for the PLUG awards show on February 2nd are still available, so
plug in and rock out. (LT)

CD REVIEW: José González, Veneer |
|
|
Hidden Agenda
Released September 2005
$13.99 (Amazon)
|
The "less is more" approach — always more difficult than it sounds
— is perfectly applied by José González, a Swedish (surprise!) singer/songwriter whose debut, Veneer, invokes an odd catalogue of
influences. With the cascading rhythms and melodic lilt of flamenco, González's guitar playing overlaps contrapuntal lines to sound as though he
has a dozen extra fingers. His voice is Nick Drake-hushed, darkened by a
hint of Will Oldham's claustrophobia. The contrast between taut
instrumentals and gentle vocals gives songs like "Slow Moves" a creepy
lullaby quality with its unsettling mix of sweet and menacing. Veneer's
highlight is a masterful cover of Swedish synth-pop duo the Knife's
"Heartbeats," which, with its '80s-style excess recast in González's
ultra-minimal folk style, becomes a nylon-string symphony dripping with
haunted, melancholy soul. (TG)

Since October, Flavorpill has curated the DJ component of the First Fridays event series, held monthly at NYC's Guggenheim Museum. For January, 2,000 hearty souls braved sub-freezing temps and massive lines for a glimpse of mash 'n match mastery, courtesy of Wes "Diplo" Pentz and WFMU's $mall ¢hange. Exhibit A: $mall ¢hange pairing Slayer's frenetic "Raining Blood" with some Dillinja-esque, brutal drum 'n bass, to the blithe bewilderment of all closeted metalheads in attendance. Exhibit B: Diplo lowering the pitch control on M.I.A.'s "Bucky Done Gun" until it grinded up on the gangsta lean of Three 6 Mafia's "Stay Fly." But don't take our word for it — AOL Music and Flavorpill have teamed up to bring you nearly every nanosecond of the Night That Was on-demand as part of AOL Music and BPM magazine's Diplo feature. Just click and stream. The wish-I-was-there envy commences shortly thereafter. (JS)
