WIZARD PEOPLE DEAR READER
We close this series with two hits from the pit. Brad Neely's
mind-boggling narration/interpretation to HARRY POTTER AND THE
SORCEROR'S STONE and the sounds of FLOOR who played at the pit a time or
two. Since Floor is no more the songs will be cooked up by Shana David
and maybe a guest or two who will transform the sounds of the Florida
swamp from geetar to an amplified and thunderous sounding keyboard.

Brooklyn, New York: Light Industry
http://www.lightindustry.org
8pm, 55 33rd Street, 3rd Floor
HALF OF THE PEOPLE ARE STONED AND THE OTHER HALF ARE WAITING FOR THE NEXT
ELECTION*
Curated by Nick Hallett *A line written by Paul Simon for Leonard
Bernstein's Mass (1971). A screening of activism-oriented video,
performance documentation, and new media from 2004. As the race to the
White House consumes our nation's collective attention, let's take a
look back to the 2004 election and celebrate the unique spirit of that
year when the art world in New York and across the country took up the
mantle of this country's great activist tradition. Many artists who make
political work do so regardless of their calendars, but the high stakes
of '04 yielded contexts for agit-prop art and performance unseen since
the late 1960s. Initiatives like Downtown for Democracy and the Imagine
Festival united New York's artist communities against the Bush
administration as the RNC rolled into town. The Internet matured as a
critical venue for countercultural action in attempts to revise standard
models of protest. Audiences and critics, eager to experience their own
distaste for the current state of affairs distilled into forms of art
and entertainment, gave greater voice to explicitly political work.
Guerrilla theater filled the streets at every opportunity for
nose-thumbing, resulting in countless arrests, while cellphone cameras
rolled to create a new kind of folk-documentary. Culture and politics
collided in vivid and memorable fashion. This collection of work from
four years ago offers itself as something of a time capsule, although
not enough time has passed for true nostalgia to set in. Yet the 2008
election is playing itself out very differently than its predecessor.
Without a concrete enemy to inspire rage, Americans--artists
included--seem to be placing their faith in the system and its
candidates. But how different is our country's situation? Aren't we even
worse off than four years ago? Artists include Cory Arcangel/Jonah
Peretti, Carbon Defense League, Imaginary Company, Institute for Applied
Autonomy, Ryan Junell, Saul Levine, Jen Liu, Taylor Mac, Laura Parnes,
Pink Bloque, Wynne Greenwood, Julie Atlas Muz, Seth Price, Guy Richards
Smit/John Pilson/Lou Fernandez, Suicide, Tigger, Aaron Valdez, and The
Yes Men.
