8:00pm
$16

An Evening in the 1960s Underground
Hosted by Tony Conrad (New York)
plus a musical performance by Hubcap City (Atlanta)

SEE Jack Smith's "Flaming Creatures" in 16mm and Ira Cohen's "Invasion of Thunderbolt Pagoda" in a new version! SEE the premiere of a new work by Cohen!
HEAR soundtracks by the legendary Tony Conrad and Angus MacLise!
SEE and HEAR Tony introduce the films!

Angus MacLise in Ira Cohen's "Invasion of Thunderbolt Pagoda"

Tony Conrad has been a key figure of the New York avant-garde since the early 1960s. He is well-known as a musician for his role (along with John Cale, LaMonte Young and others) in the Dream Syndicate, and as a filmmaker he created 1965’s classic “The Flicker.”

Lesser known is the fact that Conrad played an important role in the creation of works by other filmmakers, some of which are among the most popular and enduring avant-garde films of the 1960s. Frequent Small Meals and Table of the Elements are proud to host Tony Conrad for a unique event at Eyedrum. Conrad will introduce films by Jack Smith, Ron Rice, Piero Heliczer, and Ira Cohen – films in which Conrad appears or for which he did soundtrack work.

** Jack Smith’s “Flaming Creatures” is one of the most controversial films ever made. Groundbreaking for its polysexual imagery, it is widely admired today as a prime example of the artistry, humor, and visual brilliance of this visionary director and performer. “Flaming Creatures” will be screened in its original format of 16mm, along with Ron Rice’s “Chumlum,” a sumptuous pre-psychedelic work from the early 1960s with a typically charismatic Jack Smith performance.

** Like "Chumlum," Ira Cohen’s “Invasion of Thunderbolt Pagoda” features a musical score by the legendary percussionist (and Conrad collaborator) Angus MacLise, best known as the original drummer for the Velvet Underground. J. Hoberman of the Village Voice called MacLise’s score a “masterpiece of Tibetan-Moroccan-Druidic trance music [which] truly blossoms in conjunction with the exotic smorgasbord served at Cohen's psychedelicatessen.” The evening also features a world-premiere of a new Cohen work, “Brain Damage.”

** Piero Heliczer’s 1967 “Joan of Arc” features a mesmerizing soundtrack by Conrad. This extremely rare film has not been screened outside of New York in many years and represents one of Conrad’s finest musical performances.

Program:
PART 1
Joan of Arc (Piero Heliczer, 1967), 15 minutes, 16mm (screened on DVD)
Chumlum (Ron Rice, 1964), 22 minutes, 16mm
Flaming Creatures (Jack Smith, 1963), 42 minutes, 16mm

Rhys Chatham's Guitar Army (Paris, France)

Charlemagne Palestine: Filmworks

As part of Day 3, Frequent Small Meals presents a program of film and video featuring soundtracks and performances by composer and musician Charlemagne Palestine. Moira Tierney's "American Dreams #3," an evocation of New York on September 11, 2001, was cited in the 5th annual Village Voice Film Critic's Poll. Pip Chodorov's "Charlemagne 2: Piltzer" is a tour de force of hand-processed film which documents a Palestine piano concert. Chodorov uses flicker, negative/positive imagery, different printing techniques and colored filters to produce a film that is a true merging of sound and vision.

Film Program:
American Dreams #3 (Moira Tierney, 2002), 5 minutes, 16mm
Charlemagne 2: Piltzer (Pip Chodorov, 2002), 22 minutes, 16mm

In the Galleries:


Large Galleries:
"What Color the Dawn:
Breaking Silence on the 1906 Atlanta Race Riot"

Visual Artists Respond:
John Abner, Tony Bingham, Hermina Glass-Avery, Michael Harris, Theodore Harris, Daniel Hoover, Chea Prince, Karen Tauches

A listening station of oral histories by first and second generation witnesses will also be installed.

Curated by Kevin Sipp with Louise E. Shaw

September 22, 1906, white mobs poured into the Five Points area intent on racial violence. Inflamed by months of political rhetoric and newspaper sensationalism that fed racial fears and stereotypes, the violence against black citizens spread rapidly to East Atlanta, to Brownsville and Inman Park. In the end, at least twelve were dead, hundreds injured; fearful for their lives, many fled the city, their fates somehow erased from history. What Color the Dawn peels back the layers of this buried history in an effort to challenge our communities to re-view our shared history.

Through September 30th.

Small Gallery:
Paul Cordes Wilm


Missing!
