Best, Jesse Below is a quickie teaser of the schedule: Monday, May 18, 7 pm - AESTHLETICS Sports remains America’s favourite sport. And we, its public, are a set all our own—ready to guffaw and to indulge even the dopiest situations, predictable stunt casting and what-a-misunderstandings because we need the eggs, because it’s sublime to see a couch from the couch. We’re here to watch games, to watch the unending machinations of humans in intractable situations, trying to be best and bounce within and against a series of rules. Sure, games are a metaphor but so’s everything. Monica Panzarino opens the whole event with an anthem performed with her Freqshift/Reverb Audio Bra. Seth Vanek hosts a variety show. TVTV takes us to the Super Bowl (featuring Bill Murray in his Links Hall debut). Dara Birnbaum skates cut through hospital soap. Josh Weissbach contends with the dire consequences of head-to-head combat head-to-head, while Christine Lucy Latimer scrambles the signals, signifiers and a few faces. Chris Collins provides a post-show wrap-up, using another form of aesthletics—making a piece over the course of the evening. Co-presented with Constellation’s ongoing program of experimental documentary, Run of Life (curated by Christy LeMaster, Beckie Stocchetti, Robin Amer, Jillian Hansen-Lewis, Sally Lawton, & Jenny Miller).

And we, its public, are a set all our own—ready to guffaw and to indulge even the dopiest situations, predictable stunt casting and what-a-misunderstandings because we need the eggs, because it’s sublime to see a couch from the couch. This program’s for the jokesters, the one-liner fanatics, the crouched potatoes. In its first live incarnation, Is This Real? asks the toughest question—Is This Real?

(performance) Talk Show: Sean Joseph Patrick Carney Wednesday, May 20, 7 pm - DIAL-A-SOAP Generally hospitable, filled with lifelong longings, betrayals and doubled crosses, the soap opera is high drama, five times a week, all melodrama and dirty deeds. For Dial-A-Soap, we’re proud to have the Chicago premiere of Cosmic Serpent, a new telenovela produced at Portland Community Media by Emily Bernstein and Julia Calabrese, with the help of a cast of Portland whom’s whos. Dynasty does double-duty: its contemporary, Joan Braderman, delivers stand-up theory over melodrama while Michael Robinson delivers a head-turning new take.

Frye interjects with a remake of a superstar commercial. Finally, world-wenowned Wesley Wodgers ups the anti- with a talk show that’ll throw your gears in reverse.

Philippe Blanchard and Peter Rahul rush us into the first-person. Jennifer Juniper Stratford gets corporeally hypnagogic. Vaudeosignal’s celestial noise brings a blizzard to spring.

The constituents ring in, the weather is reported with real live rain, the whole thing starts and ends with names. All you have to do is act naturally. Camera 1, Camera 2, Camera 1, Camera 2, Camera 3, Camera 3, the world arrives in starts and stanzas. Every house is filled with representatives. Shehrezad Maher scales up media frenzy in Karachi. Tyrone Davies’ title alerts the spoilers. Damian Lebiedzinski delivers a snow news parable for the no news crowd.

An all-ages screening of psychedelic cartoons; a Saturday morning panoply of sensorial delights; a cereal bar to benefit S.A.C.K. (Supporting Artists with Children and/or Kids). If you are or were a child, get ready to get heady with visionary surrealities. Through the haze of memory we can pretend the cartoons were ever this good. Julie Potratz performs live psychedelic cartoon while Lillie Carré and Alexander Stewart of the Eyeworks Festival of Experimental Animation bring a program of wild and wooly works by Sally Cruikshank, Kathy Rose, Trixy Sweetvittles, and Amy Lockhart. Make Me Psychic — psychedelic cartoons curated by Eyeworks Festival of Experimental Animation (Alexander Stewart and Lilli Carré) Cereal Bar to benefit S.A.C.K. (Supporting Artists with Children and/or Kids) Julie Potratz performance Saturday, May 23, 7 pm - CABLE EXCESS Citizen media, bench-warming televangelists, alderpeople and alternapeople, broadcasts of the underheard—cable access and its dedicated amateur practitioners speak to the utopian potentials of television. Borrowing Brakhage’s insistence that it is “love” from which “amateur” arises, both as words and as modes of becoming, the denizens of the cable access spectrum bring a sense of restless possibility to the box. Since its advent, this new media has attracted artists for both its constraints and its liberty. The artist’s studio gets an audience. Television is what’s on, so be on it. Our old friend George Kuchar plays himself and with being a guest. Christine Lucy Latimer finds demonic overtones in channel scrolls. ESP TV debuts the show they filmed before a live Chicago audience a month before. Michael Smith finds himself—or someone like him—on television. Mothergirl hosts a talk show, if the guests ever arrive. Michael Smith — It Starts at Home Christine Lucy Latimer — Program Description George Kuchar — Hefner’s Heifers ESP TV in Chicago Talk Show — Mothergirl Sunday, May 24, 7 pm - SKETCH BOOK People love a big ending. Tonight we learn if Live to Tape existed in a snow globe or was just a dream or if everyone finds their ending. Tonight is almost an anagram for nothing, but it’ll be so much more. We’ve enlisted Lori Felker, she of Broken New, This Is My Show and It Doesn’t Matter artist television fame, to host her final talk show. It was a brief run, but as the clip reel attests, we laughed, we cried, we grew. Why, even tonight, we celebrated the television painter, the mark-makers hidden amidst the pixels and signals. Drawn like a mirror to itself, art is made between the scanlines. It’s all too much, this sweet sadness of parting. Or painting. John Kilduff tries to sell the Let’s Paint TV collection, while Guy Richards Smit, Danny Volk, Steve Wetzel and Kelly Lloyd try to figure out the notion of man artists on television. Jennifer Juniper Stratford paints with electrons while Wynne Greenwood and K8 Hardy, pregnant with information, report on bad paintings and the women in contemporary art. Jaime Davidovich offers a portrait of the best artist while Scott Wolniak and Derek Fansler bring a suitable puppet portrait of a buddy road movie. Thomas Friel is on hand to do all these things at once.
