After Chris Langdon's introductory Picasso anti-tribute (starring Bob as Pablo), we'll see Nelson's earliest mature work, and a damn bold debut, Plastic Haircut, which also features Steve Reich's first tape piece, made specifically for this movie. Three of Nelson's lesser-known and very rarely seen shorts make up the center of the program, including an unusual collaborative work made with artist Mike Henderson. The program will conclude with what is thought by many to be one of the great American avant-garde films in cinema historyand simply one of the funniest and finest works of art I've ever experiencedthe one and only Bleu Shut. Picasso (1973)by Chris Langdon; Plastic Haircut (1963), Limitations (1988), Worldly Woman (1973, with Mike Henderson), More (1971/1998), Bleu Shut (1970) by Robert Nelson.

La plupart des documentaires - et j'ai été dans beaucoup de documentaires, dans ceux de Joy Division, Brion Gysin, Burroughs, Derek Jarman et dans toutes sortes de choses - sont tous les mêmes : vous vous asseyez, on vous colle une caméra sur votre tête et vous faites juste blah, blah, blah, blah... c'est très ordinaire, et Il n'y a rien de vraiment intéressant et de radical qui advient. Mais avec Marie il y a de l'animation et elle réussie à vous faire porter les costumes les plus ridicules et à faire ces choses bizarres qui au moment où vous les faites vous font vous demander ce que cela a à voir avec votre vie. Mais quand tout est assemblé, c'est comme si Fellini rencontrait le documentaire. C'est une façon très nouvelle et radicale de faire des documentaires, et très honnêtement, je pense que la manière dont Marie fait cela sera un modèle dans l'avenir. Elle est complètement unique, très profonde et a un grand sens de la joie et de l'émotion derrière son humour." - Genesis Breyer P-Orridge, 2009. ----------------------- SATURDAY, JUNE 22, 2013 ----------------------- 6/22 Brooklyn, New York: Microscope Gallery http://www.microscopegallery.com 7 pm, 4 Charles Place FORMER SELVES: THE ANIMATIONS OF LESLIE SUPNET Microscope Gallery welcomes Leslie Supnet in the U.S. solo screening debut of her animated works. Since 2007, Supnet has used whimsical and often surreal imagery to explore themes of sincerity, identity, race, death, and the multiplicity of human emotion. She does this with hand-made paper-cut puppets, computer software, and a second-hand MegaPixel camera found at a thrift store. While often melancholic, Supnet's animations are not without a sense of humour. 6/22 Brooklyn, New York: PAN_ACT Festival at Issue Project Room http://issueprojectroom.org/drupal/event/ben-vida-helm-jefre-cantu-ledesma-paul-clipson 8pm, 22 Boerum Place, Ground floor Brooklyn, NY 11201 BEN VIDA / HELM / JEFRE CANTU-LEDESMA & PAUL CLIPSON This evening of sound performances by 2013 ISSUE Artist-In-Residence Ben Vida and London-based sound artist Helm, includes a sound/Super 8mm film performance by Jefre Cantu-Ledesma and Paul Clipson.
