SHOW: December 30,2003 through January 5,2004

In a climate of eroding personal freedoms, we assert our rights as artists to document the world around us.While the misguided are far too willing to sacrifice their individual liberties for what they believe will allow them to cling to false bastions of security, we find it unreasonable to face censorship or prosecution for what we so strongly value.

At the heart of our quest is the desire to capture, and perhaps, even in some ways, to shape, the spirit of our cities, suburbs, and country.

Donna Parker
dosage
Karlheinz
Miortva

Produced by a.i.m. (advanced idea mechanics), Sunday’s show presents a
top-notch array of artists from all ends of the burgeoning Boston noise
scene. Each performer brings a unique approach to the live improvised
electronics of harshnoise. Donna Parker’s minimal, melodic excursions can
be described as almost dance tracks for the blank generation. dosage
wrings extended, droning textures from simple tools like feedback, radio
static, and electrical hum. Karlheinz commands a vast orchestra of black &
silver boxes to sculpt at-times operatic harsh noise. Miortva stirs
electronic and organic elements into a wicked, chaotic sonic brew.

-Vintage Film Screenings in Glorious 16mm and 8mm-

Zampano promotes democracy tonight, encouraging voter turnout in this
primary season with a trio of civic-minded films designed to engender Pride
and Participation in our System, circa the 1960¹s. The centerpiece is a
remarkably timely vintage short, Where Were You? (1960) which poses the
question ³If so many citizens didn¹t want Mr. Doakes, then how is it that he
came to be elected?² This reel suggests that, if there was a golden age when
Americans participated responsibly in the Process, it wasn¹t 1960! Framing
the mini-feature will be a paean to the idealized American town in Our City
Government (1965) and a groovy expression of national allegiance in The
Pledge (1971). The line by-line explication of the pledge hits a bit of a
snag at the ³Under God² part, as a boy asks ³What if we believe in a
different God. . . or no God at all?² How would you answer? How did they?
The evening concludes with this film¹s, um, evocative setting of the Pledge
to a period folk style.
All films in patriotic 16mm.
