Callings Out of Context:

Ratking and Gabriel Garzón-

MontanoPresented with The Broad

MUSIC. Featuring some of today’s most exciting and transgressive musicians, Callings Out of Context is an aural complement to the Broad collection’s holdings of Pop Art. The series features hybrid-minded contemporary musical artists that engage, point to and tell stories about the modern market they are simultaneously a part of, while opening our ears to new perspectives on genre, repetition and mass production. Each program pairs artists from divergent corners of the marketplace, from the heart of indie-rock to the fringes of hip-hop and electronic music to the experimentalism of the avant-garde. This program features New York–based trio Ratking, piecing together detritus from the scorched earth of New York’s musio-social landscape—where bloated, self-satisfied hip hop bumps elbows with the nihilist refrain of dead end punk. Opening the evening is singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Gabriel Garzón-Montano, who exemplifies hybridity in his music.

Sat 8:30pm $20 Callings Out of Context is guest-curated by Ted Hearne for The Broad.

“A minuet staged as grand opera.” — J. Hoberman

FILM/VIDEO. When he died in April 2015 at the age of 106, revered Portuguese filmmaker Manoel de Oliveira left behind one of the most extraordinary oeuvres in the history of art cinema: 31 features and more than 30 documentaries and shorts — most of which were completed after he had turned 70. Amor de Perdição, the epic work that introduced his unique style of mise-en-scène to the international film community, is an enduring masterpiece. Adapting the eponymous 1862 novel by Camilo Castelo Branco, de Oliveira focused on the author’s elegantly constructed, sonorous text rather than

a naturalistic staging of the doomed affair between 18th-century aristocrats Teresa and Simão. The result is a mesmerizing synthesis of literary, theatrical and cinematic traditions, as de Oliveira overlays a haunting off-screen voice atop the sumptuous visuals captured by his deliberative moving camera.

“Lewis Klahr’s beautiful compilation… refashions pop culture in a heroic key.” —The New York Times

FILM/VIDEO. Fresh off its world premiere at The Museum of Modern Art, Sixty Six (2002–15, 90 min.) is the latest entry in master collagist Lewis Klahr’s Prolix Satori digital series. It also stands as the crowning achievement of the CalArts faculty member’s prodigious work in collage film, dating back to 1977. Using material from his own vast archive, Klahr, “the reigning proponent of cut- and-paste,” according to J. Hoberman, combines classic Greek mythology with 1960s Pop and “Daylight Noir” in a series of elliptical tales — uncanny superimpositions in which comic-book heroes and foto-roman characters populate a vision of midcentury Los Angeles cut from period magazines.

FILM/VIDEO. Billy Woodberry introduces the U.S. premiere of his long-awaited new film And When I Die I Won’t Stay Dead, a feature-length documentary about jazz-inspired beat poet Bob Kaufman, sometimes called the “Black American Rimbaud.” In influential CalArts’ faculty member, Woodberry’s

landmark 1984 film, Bless Their Little Hearts, was honored with a jury award at the Berlin International Film Festival and was selected for preservation by the National Film Registry. The program begins with Marseille après la guerre, a short montage crafted from images found in a longshoremen’s union hall.

contradictions, New Faithful Disco builds communal energy into an accumulated whirlwind propelled by nature sounds and disco rhythms. Bodies are the conduit: the site of intersections where dances are generated, transferred, translated and recycled in an attempt to remix revolution. Disco opens up time, triggers fading histories and provides a backdrop that frames who we are, now.

New Faithful Disco is a National Performance Network (NPN) Creation Fund Project co-commissioned by REDCAT, Portland Institute for Contemporary Art (PICA), DiverseWorks, Z Space, and NPN. The Creation Fund is supported by the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, Ford Foundation, and the National Endowment for the Arts. Supported by the NPN Performance Residency Program.

Camel Collective (U.S./Mexico)

Something Other Than What You AreOpening Reception: Sat, Jan 23, 6–9pm

ART. Anthony Graves and Carla Herrera-Prats, working collaboratively as Camel Collective, premiere their multi-channel video installation Something Other Than What You Are. Shot in REDCAT’s theater, the work depicts fictional lighting technicians, designers, and a professor grappling with the realities of the precariousness of freelance labor, collaborative power dynamics, and technological obsolescence. In addition to the video installation, the exhibition includes a series of drawings, props and additional moving-image vignettes. Theater itself is a subject, while the camera investigates the physiological cause-effect dynamics of light and stage. The narrative takes place outside of live

theater performance, in the form of soliloquies and conversations between the production and technical crew. The piece depicts the production of visibility and invisibility in a “creative field.” It is about watching a figure move in and out of obscurity, watching moods pass, and aspirations ebb and flow.

Something Other Than What You Are is funded in part by generous support from Jumex Foundation, Mexico City. Special thanks to Parque Galeria, Mexico City.

The Wooster Group The Room by Harold Pinter

World Premiere

THEATER. The world’s most influential theater ensemble premieres their version of Harold Pinter’s The Room, the first play by one of the most important playwrights of a generation. Directed by Elizabeth LeCompte, the compelling theatrical experience builds on the Group’s goal to create “a theater that encompasses all forms of the arts and has an architecture that isn’t located in a naturalistic place: a theater which

integrates music, dance and text into the final art form without privileging one over the other.” They approach Pinter’s 1957 play through a range of comedic forms, including American vaudeville and comic routines (duos like Abbott and Costello or the Smothers Brothers), and the ancient form “cross talk” or xiansheng, a two-person comedy style popular in China since the Qing Dynasty. The cast includes

Group members and associates Kate Valk, Suzzy Roche, Ari Fliakos, Philip Moore and Scott Renderer. Lighting design by Jennifer Tipton.

Boasting five of North America’s most adventurous exponents of new music for woodwinds, this double-bill unites, for the first time, livewire clarinet soloist Lori Freedman with Quasar’s stellar quartet of saxophone virtuosos — Marie-Chantal Leclair, Mathieu Leclair, André Leroux and Jean-Marc Bouchard. Freedman opens with a set from her touring solo program — playing works by Brian Ferneyhough, Richard Barrett and Raphaël Cendo — and teams up with Quasar for her own composition, No Man’s Clan (1996/2015). Quasar launches into the second set with pieces by Pierre-Alexandre Tremblay and André Hamel before a rousing finale with Freedman, performing Bouchard’s Le Cri des oiseaux fous (2012) and Fred Frith’s The Big Picture (2012), with a special guest appearance by the composer himself, on guitar.

ARRAY @ The Broad Presented with The Broad

FILM/VIDEO. A disillusioned veteran of the Vietnam War attempts to come to terms with his past and his current place as a black man in America in director Haile Gerima’s Ashes and Embers. Winner of the 1983 FIPRESCI Prize for Forum of New Cinema at the Berlin International Film Festival, this little-seen screen gem will serve as entry into candid dialogue about nationalism, liberty and race relations explored from the artist’s viewpoint. Engaging the audience in this conversation will be a high-profile quorum of actors, musicians and scholars selected by filmmaker and ARRAY founder Ava DuVernay, who will also serve as host for this second gathering in this ongoing film series.

ARRAY @ The Broad is an ongoing series featuring classic and contemporary films curated with an eye toward the intersection of art, history and cultural identity. With the cinematic image as the centerpiece, the series will engage audiences through post-screening conversations with a spectrum of artists

and scholars for an immersive exchange of ideas and insights beyond the screen that enliven many issues addressed by artists in the Broad collection. ARRAY, founded in 2010 by filmmaker Ava DuVernay (Selma), is an arts collective dedicated to the amplification of films by people of color and women filmmakers.

FILM/VIDEO. Drawing on forms as varied as TV after-school specials, music videos and magical realism, Jennifer Reeder constructs intimate narratives about relationships, trauma and coping. Her latest acclaimed work, Blood Below the Skin (2015, 32 min.), chronicles a turbulent week in the life of three teenage girls, from different social circles, ahead of the school dance. Also on tap are the L.A. debut of A Million Miles Away (2014, 27 min.), a festival circuit favorite in which a distressed substitute teacher and a teen girls’ choir revel in the

melancholy of a Judas Priest anthem, and Seven Songs About Thunder (2010, 20 min.), a dark feminist comedy about a mother, her daughter, a liar, and a therapist.

ProcessCONVERSATIONS. In this two-day symposium on art and immigration, leading creative and critical voices come together to move the discussion beyond the territorialization of identity, and focus instead on the dynamic, ongoing processes that continually refashion our common social fabric. Featuring artist presentations, film screenings, lectures and a series of Q&A sessions, the symposium examines the creative endeavor in multiple, simultaneous vectors of collective becoming, and the potentialities in our mutual entanglements and reciprocal imaginaries of the future. Also under examination are issues of biopolitics and the impact of the climate crisis on global migration. Presenters include critical theorist Claire Colebrook; virtual reality and immersive journalism pioneer Nonny de la Peña; cultural critics and curators Kency Cornejo, Jennifer Doyle, Ruth Estévez, Michael Ned Holte, Ricardo Roque Baldovinos, Tyler Stallings and Pilar Tompkins Rivas; and artists Nao Bustamante, Rafa Esparza, Regina José Galindo, Harry Gamboa Jr., Louis Hock, Chico MacMurtrie, Ronald Morán, Yoshua Okón and Javier Toscano.

Dark Chamber DisclosureA Projection Performance by

Sandra Gibson + Luis RecoderFILM/VIDEO. The New York duo’s live projection performances rely on the mechanical and optical foundations of cinema, but nothing much resembling film — leaving only the play of light and darkness, and the articulation of space and time. Creating sensuous effects that recall the shimmering color lights of early cinema or the mesmeric dance of shadows inside Plato’s cave, Gibson + Recoder use celluloid loops, gels, crystals and their own hand gestures to bend, reflect, refract or otherwise manipulate the light beam generated by 35mm film projectors. The result is materially “cinematic,” yet

also suggestive of something well beyond. Gibson + Recoder have presented performances and installations at the Whitney Museum, Tate Modern, Ballroom Marfa, M HKA in Antwerp, and Serralves in Porto. They are in residence this spring at CalArts and Young Projects Gallery.

FILM/VIDEO. A tour de force of digital art, Where the Chocolate Mountains (2015, 55 min.) is a major new opus from Pat O’Neill, one of the all-time guiding lights of the Los Angeles avant-garde, whose pioneering use of the optical printer marked a creative breakthrough in composite image-making in cinema. Continuing in the vein of his renowned 35mm epics Water and Power (1989), Trouble in the Image (1996) and Decay of Fiction (2002), the founding CalArts faculty member combines haunting cinematography of the Chocolate Mountains along the border between California and Arizona — long used as a bombing range by the military — with footage shot in L.A., Mexico and Prague, intimate self-portraits, and recurring graphic motifs to create irrepressible, stunningly detailed streams of multilayered sight and sound. The new film is preceded by one of O’Neill’s early classics, 7362 (1967, 10 min.).

George Saunders, one of foremost innovators of the contemporary American short story, is on hand to read from his recent work in connection with his current stint at CalArts, where he is the Katie Jacobson Writer in Residence. Saunders has authored the blazingly original collections CivilWarLand in Bad Decline (1996), Pastoralia (2000), In Persuasion Nation (2006), and Tenth of December (2013) — a finalist for the National Book Award and winner of the Folio Prize. His other books include The Braindead Megaphone (2007), a volume of essays, and The Very Persistent Gappers of Frip (2005), a best-selling children’s tale. Recipient of a MacArthur genius grant in 2006, Saunders regularly contributes to The

MUSIC–MULTIMEDIA. Toronto piano virtuoso Eve Egoyan has developed a multimedia performance form in which her sumptuous interpretive and improvisational artistry applies equally to both sound and image, producing a nuanced sensorial concert experience that goes beyond conventional audiovisual combos. Using the umbrella name “Earwitness” for this line of hybrid performance, Egoyan plays compositions specially commissioned for piano and visuals. Her program features a collaboration with David Rokeby entitled Surface Tension (2009), written for Yamaha

Disklavier, an acoustic grand piano with a MIDI interface, which here extrapolates Egoyan’s touch-based inputs into projected imagery. It also includes John Oswald’s Homonymy (1998), an homage to Michael Snow’s silent film So Is This (1982) with MIDI-linked video playback, and Nicole Lizée’s David Lynch Etudes (2015), in which Egoyan’s performance interacts with images and characters from the films of the eponymous auteur.

Teatrocinema uses striking imagery to fuse virtual and physical worlds, painting

DANCE. The audacious, vigorous, and highly inventive Brazilian dance ensemble Companhia Urbana de Dança is renowned for burning up the stage in an irresistible explosion of breakneck bravado, exuberant, high-speed energy, and powerhouse athleticism. Choreographer Sonia Destri Lie and the performers deconstruct the thrilling

kinetics of Rio de Janeiro street dance, seamlessly fusing together hip-hop, samba, capoeira, and contemporary forms. Their signature work ID: Entidades, inspired by the life stories of the company dancers, pulses with raw adrenaline to a high-voltage score by Brazilian composer Rodrigo Marçal. They also explore the joyful

influence of pop culture and sizzling social dance in the critically-praised Na Pista, which prompted The New York Times to write that the company “is so wonderful that it seems miraculous.”

The Ensemble at CalArts: MINIMALIST means

April 16 – 17

Isabelle Schad(Germany/France)

Der Bau (The Burrow)Presented in association with

The Goethe-Institut

DANCE. The intoxicating dance-theater work Der Bau, created by Berlin-based choreographer Isabelle Schad and French artist Laurent Goldring, is inspired by Franz Kafka’s unfinished novella of the same title. With a mix of lush, ferocious, and sometimes spare movement, performed nude, Schad uses an animal’s burrow as a metaphor for the human body. Kafka’s labyrinth — described as a space derived from the body, and yet still belonging to it — is suggested by a large and commanding sheet of fabric, which is beautifully manipulated to dramatically alter the visual and physical relationship between body and space. Der Bau is the latest in a series of influential visual art collaborations by Schad, a former dancer with the internationally acclaimed company Ultima Vez (Wim Vandekeybus), as well as noted dance innovators Olga Mesa, Felix Ruckert and Eszter Salamon.

Der Bau is funded by the European Union.

“James Tenney stands at the center of American music… No other composer is so revered by fellow composers, and so unknown to the public.” — American Music in the Twentieth Century

MUSIC. Charting an alternative path through minimalism and its legacy, The Ensemble at CalArts reaches beyond pulse-based patterns of harmonic accretion in search of the beating heart of “stripped-down,” “essential” music. Anchored by the ever-rewarding compositions of James Tenney — who stood as one of the most influential figures in the CalArts music community — the program looks overseas, to the work of Marc Sabat, Jo Kondo and Stephen Whittington, as well as close to home, with music made at, or through, CalArts by Harold Budd, Danny Clarke, Michael Jon Fink and Frederic Rzewski. The Ensemble, the resident professional group of CalArts’ Herb Alpert School of Music, is conducted by Mark Menzies, holder of the Hal Blaine Chair.

Chantal Akerman Portraits of the Artist as a Young Girl

March 22

Mark RobsonPiano Spheres

MUSIC. Piano Spheres co-founder Mark Robson will take a “speaker-pianist” role performing Frederic Rzewski’s gripping De Profundis, based on the eponymous letter from prison written by Oscar Wilde. Featured will be the world premiere of Caught in the Act by Hugh Levick (Piano Spheres commission), Anne LeBaron’s Los Murmullos, and Mauricio Kagel’s melodramatic MM=51.


“Arguably the most important European director of her generation.” — J. Hoberman

FILM/VIDEO. Presented as part of the citywide retrospective in memory of the late Chantal Akerman, this trio of rarely screened films focuses on the cinema icon’s whimsical, humorous and achingly intimate view of youthful femininity. Saute ma ville (1968, 13 min.) introduces Akerman, then only 18, as a female Charlie Chaplin who cheerily mistreats the appliances in her tiny kitchen before committing an act of radical rebellion. In I Am Hungry, I Am Cold (1984, 13 min.), a pair of runaways scamper across Paris, practice kissing, sing for their supper, and nonchalantly cast aside desiring men. The third, longer work, Portrait of a Young Girl from the Late Sixties in Brussels (1993, 62 min.), follows Akerman’s teen double as she sublimates a secret crush for her heterosexual classmate into a surprise gift, conveying the generous violence of female desire.

Radical Intimacies: The 8mm Cinema of Saul Levine

April 23 – May 7

REDCAT International

Children’s Film Festival

FILM/VIDEO–FAMILY. Sure to spark the imagination of moviegoers of all ages, the always-popular REDCAT International Children’s Film Festival returns with a brand-new lineup of rare cinematic gems from around the globe. In multiple programs over three weekends, the festival brings plenty of gloriously inventive animated tales and rip-roaring live-action adventures — family treats unlikely to be found anywhere else. Detailed program information at REDCAT.org.

Saturdays and Sundays $5

FILM/VIDEO. Practically synonymous with personal small-gauge filmmaking, Saul Levine has created more than 100 largely improvisational films in a half-century of remarkable, uninterrupted activity. His painstakingly crafted, exquisitely kinetic work deals with people and episodes from his life, but derives universal poetic meaning from its urgency, tactile presence, and range of themes, from the most personal to the political. In his key series—Notes, Portrayals, and Light Licks—Levine uses combinations of black-and-white and color, multiple images, accidents of exposure, and hand-carved collaging to expand upon his already rich, expressive

cinematography. The Boston-based legend, a mentor to scores of avant-garde filmmakers throughout his teaching tenure at MassArt, brings a selection of work that includes entries from Light Licks, early 8mm Portrayals, and several Super 8mm sound films.

In person: Saul Levine

Additional Saul Levine programs are presented at L.A. Filmforum and Echo Park Film Center. The Jack H. Skirball Series is curated by CalArts Film/Video faculty Steve Anker and Bérénice Reynaud.


“[Levine’s] works are high-energy messages of friendship, records of sexual love and political activism.” — P. Adams Sitney

“A rejoinder to the digital noise of the modern world… cool and passionate, lovely and weirdly old-fashioned.” —The Guardian

Textures of Life: Film and the Art of Tacita Dean

FILM/VIDEO. British artist Tacita Dean’s extraordinary body of art embraces many mediums; she works with paint, found objects, photography, prints and writing, but it is her films that make the most indelible contribution. For Dean, film emulsion is a living tissue that can engender unsurpassed, vibrant experiences of light and rhythm, and she has been a passionate champion of the endangered medium. Working with a deeply contemplative aesthetic, her portrayals of artists and phenomena extend the literal into poetic dimensions. The youngest artist ever to be given a solo show at Tate Britain in 2001, Dean has

exhibited at museums throughout the world, including the Hammer Museum two years ago, and she has produced over 50 films. For tonight’s program, Dean presents a rare selection of 16mm films that are not normally presented theatrically and that have not shown in Los Angeles before.

In person: Tacita Dean

John KnightOpening reception: Sat, April 9, 6–9pm

IN THE GALLERY

ART. Since the late 1960s, Los Angeles-based artist John Knight has pioneered the practices of site-specificity and institutional critique, always interested in interrogating the underlying geopolitical and economic systems implicit in everyday convention. Eschewing a signature style, Knight prefers to work in situ, engaging with and responding to the context of each unique site. Often utilizing the visual strategies of architecture, advertising, and corporate design, Knight’s multilayered projects challenge the art establishment and its relationship to a larger global context.

John Knight lives in Los Angeles. Recent projects include Art Unlimited, Basel (2015), Greene Naftali Gallery, New York (2015); Art Institute of Chicago (2015); Cabinet Gallery at Fitzpatrick-Leland House, Los Angeles (2014); Galerie Neu at Gladstone (2014); Portikus, Frankfurt (2013); Galerie NEU / MD72, Berlin (2013); and Cabinet Gallery London / Frieze Art Fair (2012).

Tetsuya Umeda(Japan)

MUSIC. Osaka-based sound and installation artist Tetsuya Umeda creates surprising sound scores with an intriguing variety of found objects, inventions and environmental or architectural elements. Even places that at first glance seem nothing special, can have countless characteristics found above the ceiling, or behind the wall, in lightning systems and structures, the wall-material, the construction of the building, etc. Umeda

creates his work through a dialogue with everyday tools and scraps, re-purposed machines and toy parts, creating elaborately related systems of cause-and-effect. Powered by gravity, wind, centrifugal force or falling objects, Umeda’s work often creates unpredictable, unstable sonic and visual environments.

Tom Gunning and Jonathon RosenFantasia of Color in Early Cinema

FILM/VIDEO. Attention, lovers of the celluloid image: here is an opportunity to travel back in time by way of a ravishing treasure trove of hand-colored cinematic visions and wonders from more than a century ago. Beautiful restorations of these rare films are showcased in the new book Fantasia of Color in Early Cinema, the revelatory, lavishly illustrated exploration of the first-ever uses of applied color in movies. Accompanied by live music, superb digital transfers of restored work from the archives of EYE Film Institute Netherlands can now take viewers to when colored moving images truly opened a portal into

otherworldly magic and the uncanny—and yet could also heighten realism. Two of the book’s authors, film scholar Tom Gunning, of the University of Chicago, and painter, illustrator and animator Jonathon Rosen, of the School of Visual Arts, introduce this delightful cinematic phantasmagoria.

In person: Tom Gunning, Jonathon Rosen

Film restorations by EYE Film Museum, Amsterdam. The Jack H. Skirball Series is curated by CalArts Film/Video faculty Steve Anker and Bérénice Reynaud.

Still/Restless

May 22 – 23

Studio: Spring 2016THEATER–MUSIC–DANCE–MULTIMEDIA. REDCAT’s quarterly program of new works and works-in-progress highlights new forms of dance, theater, music and multimedia performance in a wide-ranging evening that celebrates the vitality of L.A.’s next-generation artists making work for the stage.

Funded in part with generous support from the National Endowment for the Arts.

Sun & Mon 8:30pm $15 [members $12]

“Gamson has a purpose beyond herself, a choreographic design that supports her humanistic worldview.” — LA Weekly

DANCE. Virtuosic, intimate and volatile dancing is at the center of acclaimed choreographer Rosanna Gamson’s dance-theater work Still/Restless, which continues her kinetic investigation of dream states and the neuroscience and history of dreaming. Restless builds on her acclaimed Still, seen at REDCAT’s 2014 NOW Festival.

Performed by eight dancers, Still/Restless is rich with tender and violent movement, explosive athleticism and stunning moments of stillness. The action is set

against an eclectic sonic landscape ranging from French 17th-century court composer Marin Marais to new world post-rock band instrumentals.

Thur-Sat 8:30pm $25 [members $20]

Steve PaxtonBound

Presented in association with Show Box L.A.

DANCE. Choreographed by pioneering and multi-award-winning choreographer Steve Paxton, and performed by exquisite Slovenian dancer Jurij Konjar, Bound is re-staged and re-imagined by Paxton, who first premiered it in 1982. A stellar example of his 40 years of research into the fiction of cultured dance and the ‘truth’ of

improvisation, Paxton has created a performance composed of isolated vignettes, combined with eclectic music and images that are not immediately logical. But like numbers in a column that begin to add up to something larger as they accumulate, these seemingly unchoreographed dance “remarks” soon

resonate poetic thoughts. Paxton describes it as “like a chance meeting with a slightly drunken man in a quiet bar where a conversation begins and gradually a disjointed story emerges, of a life lived, one moment after another, but now remembered as fragments of a journey.”

Wed-Fri 8:30pm $25 [members $20]

“A titan of the 1960s and ’70s avant-garde.”

David Lang and Mark DionAnatomy Theater

World Premiere — Presented with LA Opera

Get a REDCAT tote when you join!

OPERA. Based on actual 18th-century texts, Anatomy Theater follows the astonishing progression of an English murderess: from confession to execution and, ultimately, public dissection before a paying audience of fascinated onlookers. Through the miracle of opera, she sings through it all. Anatomy Theater conjures a time when “specialists” traveled from town to town in pre-modern Europe, conducting public dissections of the corpses of executed criminals, seeking evidence of moral corruption in the interior of the human body. Written by Pulitzer Prize–winning composer David Lang and world-renowned visual artist Mark Dion, Anatomy Theater is a joyous, tuneful and grisly theatrical event.

LA Opera’s presentation of Anatomy Theater at REDCAT is made possible by a generous grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Additional support provided by donors to LA Opera’s Contemporary Opera Initiative. Produced by Beth Morrison Projects. Anatomy Theater was commissioned by Ridge Theater and Beth Morrison Projects. Tour produced by Beth Morrison Projects.
