SUMMARY:Picture This! NY 6/16 Murray! Pera! Treyger! MIzzoni! & more!
DESCRIPTION:#NewYork #Brooklyn #ParkSlope: Picture This! is BACK for another night of live animated ONE NIGHT ONLY combinations of #NY’s best comedians and artists! ???????????? \nCOMEDY BY: Murray Hill\, Joe Pera\, Liza Treyger\, Dave Mizzoni\, Alex English & Jaye McBride!\nANIMATION BY: Bryan Brinkman\, Dan Pinto\, Casey Safron\, Tristian Goik\, Victoria Montes & more!\nHOSTED BY: Ian Fidance! \nSATURDAY 6/16 Doors 6:30pm\, Show 7pm\n$8 online at https://www.ticketfly.com/purchase/event/1694029 or $10 at the ????\nat Union Hall\, 702 Union St\, Brooklyn\, NY 11215\nEvent Detail: https://www.unionhallny.com/event/1694029\n______________________________________________\n“What is Picture This!?” \nPICTURE THIS! is a new show from Brandie Posey & Sam Varela: two girls who want to push the boundaries of what a comedy show can be. Picture This! is a live comedy show with stand-ups performing while they are drawn live by some of the best animators\, cartoonists\, and other artists in Hollywood\, CA\, SF\, NYC and Portland. Picture This! has also debuted in Toronto\, New Zealand and Australia! The comedians don’t know what the animators are drawing and the animators don’t know how the comedians will react. \nIt may be weird. \nIt may different. \nBut it will be FUNNY! \n“This is a super cool show\, I’m proud to be a part of it!“ – Jay Larson \n”Brandie Posey & Sam Varela have something very cool going on here…the results are organic\, highly entertaining and often times hilarious.” – The Interrobang  \n“It’s a deceptively simple idea…a good exercise for the performers to keep their improv instincts sharp and it’s good entertainment watching funny people goof off.” – Portland Mercury \n“If you like animated comedies\, how about animated stand-up comedy?… It’s just like having your portrait drawn at a fair\, only instead of mildly insulting caricatures\, you get to see one-of-a-kind depictions of what’s going on inside funny people’s heads.” – Vulture \n“The amicable marriage of sight\, sound and more sight…each [artist and comedian] performing their due diligence to visualize this crazy thing called funny.” – Spinning Platters \n“The dynamic between comedian and illustrator can be push and pull\, but when it works\, they’re ultimately moving in the same direction.” – The Comic’s Comic \n“Often\, the drawings are just as funny as the standup\, enhancing and occasionally stealing the show.. A comedian might have a prepared set that gets thrown totally into a tangent when the illustrator adds their own input or sketches a crude figure that takes the joke to the next level. There’s also a high potential for verbal vs. visual banter.” – LAist \n“An inherent irony existed in the disparity between two disciplines identified by the term “comic” – Spinning Platters \n“Our animators are joke-tellers\, too\, they just process the same bits visually versus verbally\, it’s always so cool to see your bit from a different angle you hadn’t thought to explore! I always feel like I’m dealing with the most talented heckler in the room on the show – once you surrender yourself to the idea that you’ll never be as dynamic.” – Brandie Posey \n“The show is growing fast. Comedians perform while comedy’s best illustrators create masterpieces based on what they’re hearing on stage\, live. You get to watch the process and it’s a really fun time.” – The Interrobang\, Top Five Shows Out of Towners Need to See \n“Stand-up comedy typically hinges on performers maintaining total power and control. Yet these shows put a premium on experimentation and vulnerability\, humanizing the comics in the process.” – LA Weekly

SUMMARY:Secret Cinema: NYC's Cartoon Roots with Tommy José Stathes
DESCRIPTION:The Secret Cinema presents NEW YORK CITY’S CARTOON ROOTS \nOn Saturday\, June 9\, the Secret Cinema’s screening at the Fleisher Art Memorial will include a very special guest: early animation historian and film archivist Tommy José Stathes\, who will provide a look into New York’s budding animation industry of the 1910s and 1920s.  \nThe program is called NEW YORK CITY’S CARTOON ROOTS. With a selection of rare archival 16mm prints from Stathes’ personal archive\, a fairly comprehensive cross-section of this silent-era subgenre will showcase the work of pioneers such as Winsor McCay\, Raoul Barré\, Earl Hurd\, Otto Messmer\, Max Fleischer and Paul Terry. Fledgling cartoon superstars like Bobby Bumps\, Koko the Clown\, Felix the Cat\, Farmer Alfalfa\, Krazy Kay\, and Mutt & Jeff will all be included. \nStathes will give an informative introduction about this fascinating\, yet little-studied period of animation\, and answer questions about the films. \nThere will be one complete show at 8:00 pm. Admission is $9.00.  \nAs usual\, this Secret Cinema program will be projected in 16mm film on a giant screen (not video). \nThe screening will be shown in the beautiful Sanctuary of the Fleisher Art Memorial in Philadelphia’s Bella Vista neighborhood (just South of Center City). Free parking is available in the Fleisher’s parking lot\, just across the street. \nJust a few of the films to be included are: \nCARTOONS ON TOUR (Barré\, 1915)\nBOBBY BUMPS PUTS A BEANERY ON THE BUM (Hurd\, 1918)\nTHE FLYING HOUSE (McCay\, 1921)\nTHE TANTALIZING FLY (Fleischer\, 1919)\nTHE GREAT CHEESE ROBBERY (Bray Studios\, 1920)\nFELIX REVOLTS (Messmer\, 1923)\nBARNYARD ARTISTS (Terry\, 1928) \n…and much more. \nTommy José Stathes is an archivist\, historian\, distributor\, and educator in the realm of early animated films. Stathes is best known in film history circles for creating the Bray Animation Project research initiative; the Cartoons On Film early animation re-release label and Cartoon Roots Blu-rays; supplying early animated films to and co-hosting them on Turner Classic Movies; as well as for his 16mm “Cartoon Carnival” film screening series in New York City. Stathes is also a faculty member at the School of Visual Arts and the Feirstein Graduate School of Cinema\, and is Consulting Producer on CARTOON CARNIVAL: THE DOCUMENTARY\, which is soon to be released. \nSECRET CINEMA WEBSITE: http://www.thesecretcinema.com  \nFLEISHER ART MEMORIAL WEBSITE: http://fleisher.org

DESCRIPTION:FACEBOOK INVITE \nJin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade\, Hiroyuki Okiura\, 1999\, digital projection\, 102 mins \nJin-Roh is a 1999 anime film written by Oshii Mamoru and loosely adapted from a manga he wrote—called the Kerberos series or Kerberos saga after the multi-headed hound that guarded the gate of hell in Greek mythology—which ran from about 1988 to 2009. Though the series\, meticulously illustrated by Fujiwara Kamui\, spawned several live action films\, Jin Roh is the only animated film based on the material\, and the various arcs of the story are all set in a parallel universe where Germany\, rather than the US\, has asserted militaristic and cultural influence over Japan in the postwar era. The foundation of Jin Roh’s story then\, as often in life\, is the fight for domination\, and separating the dogs from the wolves. Packs of hounds maneuver around each other throughout the film: the heavily armed paramilitary Capital Police\, ostensibly formed for counterterrorism operations; their bureaucrat supervisors in the Public Security Division; a Special Unit within the police force that mainly combats a radical guerilla group called the Sect; and a rumored splinter cell within the Special Unit itself called Jin-Roh\, translated as “Wolf Brigade.” \nThe distinct realism of the film in setting\, animation\, and design is a marked contrast with most anime\, which is far more diverse in form than it is often given credit for\, but tends to hew towards the fantastical and exaggerated. Little of Jin-Roh seems unlikely\, regardless of its rewind of history. The standalone feature film is also less common in anime\, and the grounded political drama of Jin-Roh is exceptional in its commitment to rendering a kind of solemn\, sober\, postwar aesthetic generally lacking in the hyped-up\, afterschool drama and flamboyant posturing of other war-centric anime such as the Gundam series. There are no heroes here. Early on in Jin-Roh\, an ordinary constable in the Special Unit\, a loner named Fuse Kazuki\, fails to follow orders to shoot and kill a young guerilla wearing red and serving as a bomb carrier—or “Little Red Riding Hood” as they’re called—for the Sect through the city’s sewers. His superiors ask later why he didn’t shoot her first before her bomb went off\, inevitably killing her anyway. His official answer: “I don’t know.” This is often how people go down\, and a dog that can’t follow orders might have to be put down. When another girl who looks just like the first shows up and says she was her sister\, regardless of whether that’s true\, we see that she\, like the rebel underground\, is another challenge to the soldier\, another strange\, unquantifiable interruption in the orderly flow of acts and executions that the society his organization purports to defend is premised on. \nThe latest trend in fear is the terrorism of a lone wolf\, who\, thinking they can do one better than dying like a dog\, wages a private war. Fuse is the lone wolf here\, but rather than exacting personal revenge for structural hells\, he is\, instead\, just alone. \nWhen I was thirteen I was obsessed with the moment at the grave vaults a half hour into Jin-Roh\, a scene three minutes later is what thrills me now. The sound in Kei’s throat\, as if she were suddenly remembering something\, or acting like it\, then the soft click of a purse when she takes out a German edition of the story of Red Riding Hood for Fuse\, “I’ll give it to you instead.” It feels impossibly soft and simple because it is. I rewound the DVD then\, I slide the playback bar now\, I still can’t believe it\, and that’s why I want to. \nBoth the writer and animation director of Jin-Roh\, Oshii Mamoru and Kamiyama Kenji\, have helmed iterations of the lauded Ghost in the Shell franchise—for Oshii it was the 1995 film that was an early crossover of anime to the West\, and for Kamiyama the 2002-2005 Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex television series. And while Ghost has been consistently hailed for addressing the advent of digital consciousness\, I can’t help but think that the central question of Jin-Roh is the evergreen one: What parts of you will be allowed to live\, if you want to survive? A common man\, sometimes a soldier\, lives and dies by hierarchy—he is dumb enough to be trained to destroy that which would love him. He is tricked into snuffing out his own candle. In war\, the men are often armored\, and when they stockpile safety for themselves\, the woman can rebel with little to lose except life itself. She steps in front of the heavy shield that would protect her\, and into the line of sight. I see her\, you see her\, and then she’s gone. \n– PKB \nPaige Katherine Bradley is an artist\, arts editor for GARAGE\, and a former associate editor at Artforum. \nTickets – $8\, available at door. \nPlease note: seating is limited. First-come\, first-served. Box office opens at 7pm. \n  \n

SUMMARY:An Evening with Candy Kugel @ MOMA
DESCRIPTION:MOMA LINK \nIn Candy Kugel’s new film I\, Candy (2018)\, the process of deconstructing a childhood drawing triggers the artist’s reflections on a personal history with anti-Semitism\, political activism\, and life choices affected by luck and determination. Displaying an encyclopedic range of animation techniques with remarkable dexterity\, I\, Candy is a testament to Kugel’s pioneering 45-year career in the field. Animation artist and historian John Canemaker joins Kugel to discuss her legacy as a woman artist in the traditionally male business of animation.

SUMMARY:Jackie Greene's Music Video Extravaganza!
DESCRIPTION:EVENTBRITE INVITE \nJoin musician Jackie Greene and animator Bill Plympton for the world premiere of their new animated short film\, “The Modern Lives”\, followed by a live performance by Greene and a Q&A with both artists. \nThis screening is free and open to the public. General Admission RSVPs via Eventbrite are appreciated\, but not necessary\, and do not guarantee admittance. Seating is on a first-come\, first-served basis. Doors will open approximately 30 minutes prior to the screening. \nhttp://themodernlives.eventbrite.com/ \nhttp://svatheatre.com/events/jackie-greene-bill-plymptons-music-video-extravaganza/ \nIt’s a perfect match of fiercely independent artists: Jackie Greene\, the rocking singer/songwriter hailed by the NY Times as the “Prince of Americana” and Bill Plympton\, the Oscar-nominated “king of indie animation.” \nGreene has always had a knack for capturing the human experience in all its messy\, emotional complexity in song\, and Plympton is well known for coupling his hand-drawn animation and twisted sense of humor with explorations of adult themes\, relationships and sexuality. Together they’ve created “The Modern Lives\,” an animated short film that takes you on the road from a tripped-out alien invaded Times Square to the deep roots of the American South. Along the way there are encounters with Elvis\, Satan\, Willie Dixon\, an Alabama Queen … and so much more! \nThe program will also feature Bill’s animated videos for Madonna\, Kanye West and “Weird Al” Yankovic – and Jackie performing a couple of songs from the film and the EP that inspired it\, “The Modern Lives – Vol 1”. A Q&A session with Bill and Jackie will cap off the night!

SUMMARY:Make Pictures Hosted by GIPHY Arts and bitforms gallery nyc
DESCRIPTION:Facebook invite: https://www.facebook.com/events/225305618027375/ \nMake Pictures: Wednesday March 21 – Sunday March 25\nGallery Hours: Wednesday – Saturday\, 11 AM – 6 PM & Sunday 12 – 6 PM\nbitforms gallery\, 131 Allen St.\, New York\, NY 10002 \nOpening Reception: Wednesday March 21\, 6 – 8 PM\nCasey Reas and Jeffrey Alan Scudder in Conversation: Saturday March 24\, 2:30 PM \nbitforms gallery is pleased to present Make Pictures\, featuring four web-based drawing and animation tools commissioned by GIPHY Arts and curated by artist Jeffrey Alan Scudder. Works on view and available to use include Sketch Machine by Casey Reas\, Extinctr by Harm van den Dorpel\, Eyemall by Withering Systems\, and Boopy by Andrew Benson. Pictures created by gallery visitors using the tools will be displayed in the gallery for the duration of the show. \nSketch Machine by Casey Reas is an open source software for creating freehand animations in real time or frame by frame. The user can draw with different colored points\, lines\, and planes and modify qualities of the animation such as jitter\, speed\, and playback. Animations can be exported as GIFs and circulated online. Sketch Machine is created within the tradition of direct animation works by Len Lye and Stan Brakhage and exploratory drawing software like Kid Pix and TURUX.  \nExtinctr is a pixel sorting algorithm and web tool by Harm van den Dorpel that accepts any image as input\, and outputs an animated vertical decomposition of that image into a pixelated mound. The user can control the speed of the dismantling procedure (scatter) and record any duration of the process to export as a GIF. \nThe Eyemall is a toy by Withering Systems for creating an exquisite corpse from a curated\, tagged selection of human body-part GIFs in GIPHY’s database. Hands\, eyes\, noses\, sweaters\, shorts\, knees\, lips\, and other body parts come together to form an interactive marionette-like figure; a single body made from disparate GIF parts.  \nBoopy is a drawing tool by Andrew Benson developed in response to the question “What would it be like if\, as you are drawing\, the canvas was looping?” Boopy allows the user to build complex\, layered\, repeating patterns from different textured brushes. It also includes a webcam feature that allows a user to reveal their image by erasing a layer with animated strokes. \n— \nCasey REAS writes software to explore emergent systems. His work brings together conceptualism\, systems theory\, experimental film and animation\, and drawing. While software is at the core of his practice\, his work spans installation\, works on paper\, and live performance. Reas has been featured in exhibitions at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art\, San Francisco\, SF; Art Institute of Chicago\, Chicago\, IL; Museum of Contemporary Art\, Los Angeles\, CA; Centre Georges Pompidou\, Paris\, France; Victoria and Albert Museum\, London\, England; MIT Museum\, Cambridge\, MA; Institute of Contemporary Art\, Boston\, MA; Eyebeam\, New York\, NY; Ars Electronica\, Linz\, Austria; Zentrum für Kunst und Medientechnologie Karlsruhe\, Karlsruhe\, Germany\, and others. Reas is the co-creator\, with Ben Fry\, of Processing\, an open source programming language and environment. The project was initiated in 2001. \nHarm van den Dorpel lives and works in Berlin. Selected (group) exhibitions include the New Museum in New York\, MoMa PS1 in New York\, Ullens Center for Contemporary Art in Beijing\, Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw\, Museum Kurhaus Kleve\, ZKM Karlsruhe\, and the Netherlands Media Art Institute in Amsterdam. In 2015\, Van den Dorpel started Left Gallery\, an online gallery that commissions\, produces\, and sells downloadable files. \nWithering Systems is a small software label and umbrella for the collaborative projects of Katie Rose Pipkin and Loren Schmidt\, based in Pittsburgh\, Pennsylvania. They aim to bring quiet and unusual digital experiences to the public in unlikely places\, such as on social media\, in printed material\, or on the street. Past work includes inflorescence.city\, the moth generator\, luminous corridor\, as well as many other small games\, print projects\, and plant-growth simulations. \nAndrew Benson lives in Los Angeles\, formerly San Francisco\, and works primarily in time-based (often realtime) digital media. His practice incorporates 3D animation\, experimental and process-driven video\, software development\, interactive technologies\, web programming. He comes from a painting and music background and started working with experimental graphics and video as an outgrowth of performing at noise shows.  \nJeffrey Alan Scudder\, born in 1989\, lives and works in Berkeley\, CA where he spends his time programming and making pictures. Since 2017 he has presented 18 Radical Digital Painting lectures often in collaboration with other artists\, at various venues including ZKM Karlsruhe\, RISD\, Harvard\, Yale\, Temple University\, Rutgers\, and UMASS. He has taught at UCLA and Parsons School for Design and worked at the design studio Linked by Air. Scudder received an MFA in sculpture from Yale University School of Art in 2013. \nGIPHY Arts is a subsidiary of GIPHY\, the GIF search engine.

USA. Directed by Bob Bloomberg and Jane Aaron. 8 min. \nUsing cutouts created by children\, which were animated by adults\, this is an origins tale from the island of Trinidad. Set on the evening of Carnival\, which is known elsewhere as Mardi Gras\, the film tells a delightful story of problem-solving and discovery. \nMusical Max. 1993. USA.
