5th Annual Avant Garde(n)

Organized by M.M. Serra

 

Street-Sachs Family Film Show!!!!!!!!!!

 

Film screening begins with a selection of archival snips of an educational film on the weather to cine poems in full blossom, Maya and Noa Street-Sachs, ages 13 and 11, and their parents, Brooklyn filmmakers Mark Street and Lynne Sachs, glean audio-visual crops from the dust of their fertile and fallow imaginations. In this avalanche of visual ruminations on nature's topsy-turvy shakeup of our lives, the Street-Sachs family ponders a city child's tentative excavation of the urban forest, Staten Island star gazing, and the great American deluge of the 21st Century (so far).  From an early garden dance tour-de-force by avant-garde film's grand-dame Maya Deren to a 1968 political manifesto dressed in visual whimsy, these movies may not be very well known but they are sure to entertain any adventurous 1 to 100 year old child. Agricultural relics and small works of fall farm-cycle literature provided free to tonight's garden audience.

 

As the day tumbles into night (come to the garden to watch the ultimate mother nature movie "Sunset on the Lower EastSide") we will hurl the following cine-shorts onto the screen.  The first part of the program will be a series of extraordinary works from the  1940's and 60's from the collection of the Film-Makers Cooperative. The second part will include recent parent-child cine-collaborations by Lynne, Mark, Maya and Noa.  Come join us for the fresh air and the fresh films!

"Les Tournesoles" (3 min.) by Rose Lawder

"Gulls and Buoys" (8 min.) by Robert Breer

"Glimpse of the Garden" (5 min.) by Marie Menken

REVIEW OF “FROM ANOTHER SHORE” by Maya-Catherine Popa

Our Icelandic friends near the Arctic Circle boast phenomenal landscapes—and, unsurprisingly, many wonderful artists. With volcanoes, crags, and craters, how could they not be eager to explore the realms of sculpture? How could an Icelander resist picking up a camera, or paintbrush, with curtains of light streaking across the sky, and […]

Panels: Howl! Panels 2008

 

 The series of panels is a phenomenon that seems to have taken hold and provides a much needed venue for the discussion of topics that are on the artists’ minds. This forum allows our community to grow as we share our ideas and take questions and comments from a participatory audience.

Doors open at 6pm.

 

Literature Panel with panelists Daniel Pinchbeck, more TBA

 

Comix Panel: “Inside Out: Self and Society in Comic Art": trends in autobiography, journalism and social critique in graphic novels. Moderator: Calvin Reid, with Josh Neufeld, David A. Berona, James Romberger and more TBA.

 

 Poetry Panel: Moderator Bob Holman, panelists John Farris and more TBA

 

  Jazz Panel: the lower east side and its importance in jazz

    Matthew Ship.  Sabir Mateen , Steve Dalachinsky

 

The lower east side has always been a major community in the art form of

jazz. With many greats like Charlie Parker and Charles Mingus living in the

neighborhood-and the list goes on and on- and clubs like slugs where Sun Ra

had a long residency this neighborhood has been central to jazz perhaps

second only to Harlem. This panel discuses the ongoing importance of the

Lower East Side to the music.

 

   10.30  performance
