Tamy Ben-Tor: Electroyiddish - listen | listen with RealPlayer Ben-Tor's video works and live performances create cultural ground zeros. Her alertness to any moral, ideological, political and artistic cliché, combined with a classic sense of comedy, results in a body of work which is equally unnerving, thought-provoking, and downright funny. Her interest in and obsession with Nazism in particular and the heritage of European Jewry in general have brought about her current incarnation in the framework of her Electroyiddish cabaret where she performs traditional as well as Broadway-oriented Yiddish classics, modernized and updated with low-tech electronica. Her recent Electroyiddish cabaret led to a collaboration with the Russian musicians of the Zvukoprocessor label in Tel Aviv. |

The Poetry of Pablo Picasso listen to part 1 | listen to part 1 with RealPlayer listen to part 2 | listen to part 2 with RealPlayer listen to part 3 | listen to part 3 with RealPlayer I abandon sculpture, engraving, and painting to dedicate myself entirely to song. - Pablo Picasso to Jaime Sabartés, April 1936.A reading celebrating the publication of The Burial of the Count of Orgaz & Other Poems (Exact Change, 2004), the most substantial translation into English to date of Picasso's poetry. for a period of 25 years, beginning in 1935, Picasso engaged in a form of radical experimental writing that is now coming to be recognized as a major literary breakthrough--not only a reflection of his own time but a beacon for the present. In his characteristic and prolific way, he was, as Michel Leiris described him, "an insatiable player with words... [who, like] James Joyce ... in his Finnegans Wake,... displayed an equal capacity to promote language as a real thing (one might say) ...and to use it with as much dazzling liberty." Jerome Rothenberg and Pierre Joris, coeditors and principal translators of The Burial of the Count of Orgaz, are joined in this reading by a number of the volume's guest translators: Carlos Blackburn (reading for Paul Blackburn), Ricardo Nirenberg, Diane Rothenberg, Jason Weiss, and Mark Weiss. Recorded at P.S.1 on June 3, 2005. In Part 1 you will hear Jerome Rothenberg, Pierre Joris and Ricardo Nirenberg. In Part 2 you will hear Jason Weiss, Diane Rothenberg, Mark Weiss, and Pierre Joris. In Part 3 you will hear Jerome Rothenberg and Pierre Joris plus closing comments from P.S.1 Deputy Director Brett Littman. |

Artists Buying Art: with Peter Coffin (Part 1 of 2) - listen | listen with RealPlayer Artist Peter Coffin gave each of a team of artist friends a $100,000 wad of counterfeit WPS1 "munny" and sent them out to deal with the dealers. The gimmick cut both ways as the artists found themselves detected, rejected, and, sometimes, collected. A new experience for these non-acquirers, the quest allowed each young artist a glimpse of the "other side" of an otherwise alienating experience. In addition to commenting on what art was good or worth buying, discussions about the Armory Show experience generated some pointed criticism, healthy mockery of the art market and dialogue about current trends in art. On this, the first of a two day effort, the participants were Jen DeNike, Tim Davis, Ellen Altfest, Rose Kallal, Craig Kalpakjian, and Nancy Chaikin. |

Artists Buying Art: with Peter Coffin (Part 2 of 2) - listen | listen with RealPlayer On this second day of his scheme, Artist Peter Coffin gave another team of artists $100,000 of genuine bright yellow WPS1 "munny" and sent them out to deal with the dealers. Some were drawn to the weirdest stuff while others really wound up thinking, and thinking, and thinking... A new experience for the collection-challenged, the quest allowed each young artist a glimpse of the "other side" of an otherwise alienating experience. In addition to commenting on what art was good or worth buying, discussions about the Armory Show experience generated some pointed criticism, healthy mockery of the art market and dialogue about current trends in art. The Day Two panel participants were host Peter Coffin with Alex Singh, Lisa Kirk, Anne Collier, Adam Helms and Scott Hug (who was lost on the Armory floor somewhere or being held by Security, we never found out for sure). |
