Join the Arts Council Sunday, Jan. 4th from 3-5:30pm in Washington Square Park to play Marcus Brown's "Human Universal Musical sculpture: HUMs" (pictured above).

Cutting D. Eric Bookhardt's column: another least favorite thing
The Gambit Weekly has decided that art criticism is not important.
WOW! It's hard to imagine that art critics would be cut, now, right after New Orleans was the center of the art world, however briefly, the first weekend of November. Our city was also briefly the center of the theatre world in November for the Fringe Fest. But theatre and visuals arts are still in the back seat, judging from the news that one or the other critical columns will be cut in the new "redesign" of the Gambit, starting this coming week.
I guess it's news to those not in the arts that critical response is important. Artists need to be written about. We need to see our work from other eyes - we learn and grow from it. We also use reviews to put in our grant and job applications. Reviews show that we are part of a community, part of a dialogue that extends beyond ourselves. Our arts community is experiencing a huge boom right now. This is not the time to cut art criticism!
We don't know what the redesign will actually look like, but we think that there will be more "blurbs." "Blurbs" are not an acceptable substitute for art criticism! Don't be fooled by the Gambit response you will get if you write them, stating that "we are not eliminating arts coverage, we are actually adding it..." "Blurbs," like the current ones we see in listings section with the small photo, will not be an acceptable substitute for thoughtful arts criticism.
Karen Kern of the New Orleans Arts Council wrote this brief and elegant letter to the Gambit. I wanted to post it here and encourage those who have not yet written the Gambit to write and demand Eric's column back:
I'm writing to urge you to keep the "Inside Art" column by D. Eric Bookhardt. The dramatic post-K rebound of the local arts scene and it's impact on our economic and spiritual recovery have been hard to miss. The boom has been evident across the arts spectrum - from the explosion of high art (new arts districts such as the St. Claude corridor, Prospect.1, the amazing array of new public art all over town) to the overwhelming number of arts activities presented by a slew of local groups. For arts enthusiasts, it's been nearly impossible to keep up with the wealth of offerings. The positive effects of all of this have touched business owners, school children, and neighborhoods. It has brought New Orleans positive attention in national publications and media.
At this time of unprecedented local arts activity and notoriety, we need more critical review, not less! Eric Bookhardt's "Inside Art" column is vitally important to our burgeoning, internationally-recognized local arts scene. And, our arts and culture are vitally important to our economy and our future. To eliminate the column and Eric's important critical review is short-sighted; it’s not only a disservice to the arts community and to the Gambit readership, but to the city.
Please reinstate "Inside Art" and Eric Bookhardt!

one of my least favorite things
subsidence
check out the before and after photos of a grave in the Leeville Cemetery, slipping into the bayou...a sobering look at our future at nola.com.
I traveled down there 2 augusts ago, and the majority of vehicles on the road were 18-wheelers. The rest of the vehicles had something to do with seafood. They were vying with each other on a narrow 2-lane road with water lapping the edge of the shoulder.

some of my favorite things
artforum.com has videos! video art, interviews, etc. Like this Bruce Connor video for a My Life in the Bush of Ghosts track!
UbuWeb has all sorts of obscurities in sound and motion. I just read an article about video artist Guy Ben-Ner and can see his work here! However, a word to the wise: UbuWeb's content are not official releases. Watch with an awareness of your own ethical comfort zone.

Pecha Kucha Night : New Orleans : Volume 1
Global creative show-and-tell event comes to New Orleans
WHAT: Pecha Kucha Night, devised by Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham (Klein Dytham architecture), was conceived in 2003 as a place for young designers to meet, network, and show their work in public.
The key to Pecha Kucha Night is its patented democratic system. Each presenter is allowed 20 images, each shown for 20 seconds - giving 6 minutes 40 seconds of fame before the next presenter is up. This keeps presentations concise, the interest level up, and gives more people the chance to show.
Pecha Kucha (which is Japanese for the sound of conversation) has tapped into a demand for a forum in which creative work can be easily and informally shown, without having to rent a gallery or chat up a magazine editor. This is a demand that seems to be global - as Pecha Kucha Night, without any pushing, has spread virally to over 150 cities across the world.
WHO: Unité, a local arts initiative, has invited 10 practitioners from various fields in the local creative community to present at the first Pecha Kucha Night : New Orleans. Please see website for full list of presenters.
WHERE + WHEN: Zeitgeist Multi-disciplinary Arts Center, Thursday January 15th, 2009
Doors 6pm / Start 7pm, FREE W/ RSVP
WHY: In essence, PK is a conversation starter, a networking opportunity, and an informal night for folk to come together, share and draw inspiration. And just as crucially, it's a brilliant night out- DJs, visual treats, and a chance to connect with ideas and creatives in our disparate community.

AORTA project Deep Water Markers opens Saturday
Here's some shameless self promotion:
AORTA Projects is pleased to announce the unveiling of mixed media artist Courtney Egan’s “Deep Water Dates” installation along Franklin Avenue. Expanding her 2007 AORTA Projects installation in Mid-City, Ms. Egan has installed approximately 25 anodized aluminum plaques along Franklin Avenue marking flood levels of the Federal levee break catastrophe at each specific point. Using personally collected stories from first hand witnesses, “Deep Water Dates” aims more for cultural than historical accuracy and in the process keeps one engaged with the intimate task of honoring one’s history while moving forward with one’s recovery.
“Deep Water Dates” will be unveiled Saturday Dec 20th from 1-4 pm, light refreshments compliments of Whole Foods will be served. Please visit www.aortaprojects.blogspot.com for further information and feel free to contact us with any questions – Elizabeth Underwood, Director, 504-388-9844
Who Killed the Underground Film?
Recently Rene brought German experimental filmmakers Wilhem Hein and Annette Frick to Zeitgeist. Hein’s film was appropriately called "You killed the underground film." The “you” ambiguously refers to Hein and of course you, the reader, who are both involved in doing in the underground. Judging from the usual small turnout at Zeitgeist, these endeavors are successful. As further evidence, the New York Underground Film Festival will shortly cease to exist. Of course the demise of underground film can be squarely put on the rise of cheap video tools. Also in terms of venues like Zeitgeist, home theatres, Netflix, and the internet have done their damage.
But has the underground really lost its potential? Is there an underground, or a need for one? One of the great things about the internet is that it has the potential, and the occasional effect of leveling the playing field. Every thing on youtube has the same potential of being watched, from the most highly budgeted production to the kids with a cell phone video camera.

Award give to Helen Hill
The Flaherty, the group that puts on the amazing Flaherty Seminar every summer, recently awarded their Samu Award to Helen Hill. There is a wonderful write up on the Orphans Film Symposium page, by Dan Streible, who accepted the award for the family. The award is given yearly for “a universal message illuminating our sense of world community.” I am anxiously awaiting Paul Gailunas's completion of Helen's last film, the Florestine Collection, which was inspired by a collection of dresses Helen found, left on street here.
