"...densely atmospheric star-melting guitar scrawl, acoustic interludes, and gentler drone. It’s the kind of heady nighttime psychedelia that has a way of feeling truly space-stretching and mind-altering," - Stereogum, Implodes - Band to Watch

doors at 7pm, show starts promptly at 8pm

So L’il + Booboniks = S.V.B. (Solilian Von Boobonika) - ambient hip hop straight from the rock, So L’il have been releasing music for the last decade, and shall continue to do so for the next. (Sharon’s last show before the baby too!) Booboniks are more stank than funk, and smell like they sound. Together they scream ‘Where’s my pickle!’

Panda Riot - from Chicago (!) blissful, swirl-pop, sing-along, sonar, breathy soprano wafts above dancy drum machine beats, blown-out guitar booms, and a keyboard plugged into a death metal pedal. Their music has been compared to Portishead, My Bloody Valentine, and The Swirlies, with a lot of hot. From half way cross the country, can’t see them very often round these parts and they’re AMAZING GLORIOUS BEAUTIFIC so come check ‘em out! For reals.

http://www.pandariot.com/

Electric Djinn - five former members of Lumipad and Drifting In the Cinema, led by the indefatigable Omnijenn, I.e. Veronika Sweet, I.e. Jennifer Berklich, I.e. the latest greatest electronic dance craze sweeping the nation via trombone and xylophones, & when not currently getting lost in paradise, skipping the light fandango, which all is to say, not to be missed.

http://www.myspace.com/lumipad


Season Finale - Fugazi meets Rush and dates Madonna, this trio, made up of former members of Pumpernickel and Penfold (and including the infamous Mark Ospovat, producer extraordinaire ala Emandee Studios) brings the progressive rock pop like nobodies business. Stuff this complex should not feel this good. (And if you haven’t experienced ‘the voice’, do so. Sexy Jewminicans singin in 3 octaves don’t cross your path everyday.)

The Low & The Lonesome - 'born to wander through barbed wire and dead water', laying country & western music and wailing their heartache out, down by the Gowanus Canal, in the immortal words of Murray Hill, "The Low & the Lonesome, which started the Depression."

i feel tractor - "Gimme back my wig" by Hound Dog Taylor suggests the type of shenanigans the 5 jesters who make up I Feel Tractor might get into, were they not busy rocking the garage folk, three new tracks of which ('Let's Go Outside', 'Crystal For Immortality', and 'North Dakota') you can hear here:

Collective Clarity

This exhibition responds to the vital need for an art that embraces all of our experiences. While there is an urgency felt among contemporary artists and educators that it is important to embrace multiple perspectives, there exists a striking contrast between the widely held pluralistic ideal and the reality of the day-to-day practices of educational and cultural institutions. Multiculturalism often devolves into a smattering of representative samples cherry-picked from a cross-section of cultures or acknowledgments that end up marginalizing more than fostering understanding. Museums and schools can benefit more from lucid, honest, democratic, and open-ended conversations across cultures. Here at Columbia Teachers College, this variety of dialogue is abundant, and was the original source of inspiration for Collective Clarity.

Last winter, printmaking professor Mahbobe Ghods and five students in the Art and Art Education department at Teachers College: Meredith Parker, Isabel Hermann, Benjamin Tellie, Anna Lambert, and Cathy DePasquale, all currently pre-service student teachers, began a conversation about how an empty outdoor courtyard space next to the printmaking studio might be transformed into a kinetic art piece. The natural evolution of the conversation led to an idea for an installation that would flap freely within the T.C. courtyard space. It was decided that the work would encompass a multiplicity of voices engaged in an ever-shifting visual conversation. Clear plastic shower curtain liners were chosen as the medium because of their weatherproof, wind-conductive and transparent qualities. The intention was to have every artist who participated in the effort have a voice that became something new, different and even more exciting within the context of the collective composition. While the location eventually had to be shifted from the exterior courtyard into the Macy Gallery, the basic format and goals remained intact and the project was reworked to fit within the new spatial constraints. An added benefit of the indoor gallery space was that it would allow for the interactive experience of walking into the artwork for an interior view.

Ultimately, Collective Clarity has become an installation that is formed from individual artworks created on a non-traditional and, at times, very challenging medium by twenty-six different artists from a wide array of backgrounds. This piece unmistakably demonstrates that the collaborative process cannot help but naturally create its own exquisitely diverse community. It is only through transparent discourse and from a range of vantage points that we can begin to see an overall image of the world with any sense of clarity.
