Where: New Museum
Where: New Museum
This 2008 documentary by Jenner Furst, Dan Levin, and Ben Solomon examines the life of filmmaker, photographer, and longtime Bowery resident Clayton Patterson. Since 1979, Patterson has dedicated his life to documenting the final era of raw creativity and lawlessness in New York City's Lower East Side. Traversing the outside edge, he's recorded a dark and colorful society, including heroin, homelessness, political chaos, and ultimately gentrification. The film will be followed by a Q & A session with Clayton Patterson, Elsa Rensaa, Jenner Furst, Dan Levin, and Ben Solomon.
CAPTURED is screened as a part of the Bowery Artist Tribute, a project celebrating artists who have lived and worked on the Bowery.

Domo Arigato Mr. Roboto

Where: Bent Festival / DCTV
Domo Arigato Mr. Roboto (title from Styx 1983 song)
Put your thick black rimmed coke bottle glasses on and mismatch color and patterned outfits and experience what is considered new media in the visual arts. Traditional medium of oil, acrylic, pastels, watercolors, collage, bronze, brass, metal, wood, and found objects have all paved the way for sound, video, digital, robotics, electronics, and interactive elements. Geeks rock!
We will be attending the opening of Bent Festival's art and music series, and meeting Mike Rosenthal of media relations. He will give us a short history about the festival and DIY culture's influence on contemporary art and music. Visual artists like, Paper Rad, neuroTransmitter, Christian Croft, Glorious Ninth, Leonel Moura, and Jowan Sebastian; bands like Artic Monkeys, Beck, Clap Your Hands and Say Yeah, Fischerspooner, Fugazi, and the Misfits are steadfast to the DIY ethics and morals of conduct.
The Bent Festival began as a celebration of circuit bending, but has quickly grown to embrace not only circuit benders but also artists who create instruments and artwork from scratch using homemade circuitry. Artists from around the globe perform music with their homemade or circuit bent instruments each night of the festival, teach workshops to adults and children alike, and create amazing, interactive art installations.
Bent Festival could not be held at a more a propros location. DCTV (Documentary Video and Community Media Center) was formed in 1972 to provide free media services to the community. We will also view 8 installations by Michael Dory, Lesley Flanigan and Andy Doro, Matt Durant, Phil Stearns, Ed Bear, Lea Bertucci, Leah Wechsler, Dr. Bleep, Steak and Christopher McDonald.
