Ocularis:
Mary Ellen Bute Centennial
This
year marks the centennial of pioneering
animator Mary Ellen Bute. Responsible for
some of the earliest abstract films in America,
and later one of the first artists to use
oscilloscopes, she is also known for her
collaborations with the likes of Norman
McClaren and Leon Theremin, among others.
This evening, we present a selection of
nearly all her shorts. Teaming the formal
rigor of Oskar Fischinger with the zip of
a Merrie Melody, Bute's visual music is
renowned for its brilliant use of color,
light, and lyrical geometries.
With
an introduction by writer and historian
Cecile Starr.

Albert
Pla with Matacerdos
In
the era of "genres", Albert Pla is
an anomaly. If his music is difficult to categorize,
so are his performances. He has come to be known
as a singer-songwriter that neither fears controversy
nor goes after it as a selling strategy. Matacerdos,
his most recent live show, marks his New York
debut. The show includes accompaniment by guitarist
Diego Cortés (Mike Oldfield, Santana,
Larry Coryell, Paco de Lucía) and Judit
Farrés on computer, keyboard, clarinet,
Peruvian cajón and chorus. Featuring
popular songs like Joaquín el Necio,
El Gallo, Lola, Yo quiero que tú sufras,
Chatarrero, La dama de la Guadaña, El
lado más bestia de la vida (his cover
of Lou Reed's "Walk on the Wild Side"),
El bar de la esquina, Los ojos, Carta al Rey
Melchor, and El sol de verano. For
more information on Albert Pla go to: www.albertpla.com
"
Albert Pla situates himself once again on the
edge of an abyss with a theatrical show that
goes against the grain of norms and political
correctness in terms of sex, homosexuality,
prison, exaggerated love, drugs, AIDS, death…
