when
Years ago, a self-proclaimed “film buff” friend-of-a-friend challenged AUGUST 15 me, exactly as douchily as you’d imagine, to name a successful female filmmaker. Putting on my BRATTLE smarmiest film school smirk, I answered, “Maya Deren.” As predicted, THEATER he looked at me blankly and asked, “Did she do any studio work?” She didn’t—and that’s exactly why she matters. $11.50 ($9.50 Working as a purely underground independent filmmaker in 1940s, Deren was a straight-up pioneer, paving the way for FOR MEMBERS) the the likes of Kenneth Anger, Andy Warhol, and David Lynch. (Not tied to any one medium, she also worked in dance, poetry, and photography, and extensively studied the Vodou religion of Haiti). Her most famous film, 1943’s MESHES OF THE AFTERNOON, is a milestone of spooky surrealism, in which Deren is pursued by a mirror-faced spectre to the strains of a spare, experimental score by Teiji Ito. For the unfamiliar (or the initiated), the Brattle will present a program of Deren’s work (including MESHES) in a double feature with Robert Eggers’ excellent, Deren-influenced THE WITCH on 8/15, as part of their summer-long series HEROIC! WOMEN WHO INSPIRE. See it, and remember the next time you hear a hackneyed mansplanation of auteur theory: as always, women were there first. —OSCAR GOFF

Valdez is a sculptor who is highly engaged in Boston’s community. She works with ideas about the home, drifting from place to place, and immigration. As an artist and residence at the Eliot School this summer, she, together with a core of teen makers, are designing an installation that the public will be contributing to. This project is a part of the broader Home/ Hogar work that Nora has been creating. You may be familiar with her carved sculptures of caregivers and the traditional home, 8/10: 10:30-noon which are monumentalized in materials like stone. This project @Connolly branch of BPL is taking a step back from her traditional modes of making and finding ways for the com8/10: 1-2:30pm munity to have a voice in this @Egleston sq. project. Anyone who wishes to branch of bpl express creativity about these concepts can join it at various libraries around Jamaica Plain. 8/13: 2-4pm jamaica plain Using old manilla luggage tags, branch of bpl people can express their feelings about home and place. Write see the full poetry, draw pictures, or just installation on come to talk and learn. At the 8/25 from 2-4pm end of the month, there will be @elliot school a culmination event where the entire project will be unveiled annex outdoors. The core group and Valdez have designed walls that will structurally resemble homes and the luggage tags will be arranged on these installations. In November, you will be able to catch this work at Galatea Gallery alongside Nora’s stand-alone sculptures. —CHLOE DUBOIS

NOTES FROM TH E C R E W This org is a dang beauacesy o u can tiful and powerful force.
Jumping in as Compass Production Manager a few months ago, I had no idea I would be swept away in the countless creative currents that are surging through this lovely group of heads. My official job title carries a simple task...GET THIS THING PRETTY AND PRINTED!...after wrangling that procedure I now have the freedom to move around the org to see where my ideas and energy can fit. It's exciting!! Especially when I think back to little ol' me at one of them first Homegrown fests many many moons ago...2011? 2012? I don't know, but that fest was definitely one of the most impacting events of my creative career. Seeing Hassle veterans Guerilla Toss absolutely kill it for the first time made me re-conceptualize DIY art and music. From then on I traveled to Boston from Lowell for many Hassle shows throughout college. After schooling I got my butt to this city to fully immerse myself in the culture, but I still hadn't thought about volunteering. I was so focused on my own thing...writing music, teaching music, performing music (which has gone well in this city full of loving AND experimental musicians). I've since taken a long break from performing regularly and knew I had to find something along with teaching that could contribute to the culture...then the holy Zuckerberg God of FB unveiled an opportunity in my news feed: open position for the Compass Production Manager...woo! The transition was seamless. Since joining, I've bounced around a bit: doing live sound at shows, building a flippin' zine library at Dorchester Art Project, soon teaching music at DAP, and most importantly coordinating the distribution of this zine! Distro is one of the best ways to get in touch with your community. If that's your prerogative then hit me up at kevin@brain-arts.org. We currently have distro routes that need a head and are always looking to expand our reach. Speaking of exciting opportunity! August events are gonna blow the lid off the end of your summer! Definitely don't miss GlovePilot on 8/9 at DAP! Come zang and be a bud! Thankz for snagging issue #102! —KEVIN DACEY

When the twisted yet brilliant mind of David Lynch produced the iconic series “Twin Peaks” over 25 years AUGUST 30 8PM ago, it’s rebirth and subsequent plunge off the demented deepend DORCHESTER on Showtime was far from a forgone ART PROJECT conclusion. Now that the series has been elevated from obscure cult hit to cool Millennial talking point, it makes sense that Brooklyn based $10 SUGGESTED experimental outfit Killer Bob would change their name to the decidedly “un-Googleable” JOBS–a moniker as indeterminate as their genre. With jarring tunes that blend accessible melodies and sharp, abrupt twists, the band allows hypnotic beats and fuzz to meander in and out of acerbic riffs. They’re part classic no-wave, part avant-garde punk, and all NYC–don’t let this enigma sweep through Boston without your eyes on it! Alongside this touring powerhouse are Salem-based rockers SUPERTEEN who’ve been at it for some time and whose recent 2018 LP “Over Everything” mixes the best elements of twangy post-hardcore and concisely determined indie rock into a furiously cacophonous cocktail. Easing you into the raucous explosion are two more subtle yet equally hard to define artists. Magadalena Abrego’s largely improvised and wholly experimental guitar outbursts defy expectations, making her sonic anomalies feel right at home on this bill. Finally, fellow Boston solo artist Maggie Rosenberg brings her ethereal, stripped-down pop emulsions to this eclectic yet purposeful lineup. Everything on the menu is great and luckily you don’t have to choose. This is a four course meal for the ages. —MIKE ACHILLE

Lucky Show: Neck @ DAP When NASA called avant-garde performance artist Laurie Anderson and asked if she would be interested in being their first artist in residence, she was as curious as anyone as to what such a proposition might entail. “I said, ‘What does that mean in a space program?,’ and they said, ‘Well, we don’t know what that means. What does it mean to you?’ I was like ‘Who are you people? What does it mean to me? What are you talking about?’” Most certainly NASA was playing coy in choosing as multifaceted and unique an artist as Laurie to take part in such a program. Anderson rose to fame in the 1980’s with her “fluke” pop hit O Superman. Since then, she has published six books, wrote the entry for New York in the Encyclopedia Britannica, composed for dance, film, and radio, had countless gallery shows and wrote twelve albums along with dozens of other collaborations—and once worked at a McDonald’s. While as resident at NASA, she took in all the resources she had available, visiting its many institutions, including the Space Telescope Science Institute, the Johnson Space Center, the NASA Ames Research Center and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. The experience resulted in the one woman show, “The End of the Moon.” Laurie was not the first artist that NASA has worked with though. since the 1960’s they have commissioned works from such artists as Norman Rockwell, Robert Rauschenberg and Terry Riley, for specific events. Sadly, Laurie was not only the first artist in residence but also the last. Shortly after her tenure, the artist in residence program became a wedge issue in Congress and was cut after some politicians claimed extraneous spending. How much of NASA’s $15 billion budget was paid to Laurie for her two years? Only $20,000. What a shame—with all the vastness and unknown qualities of space, challenging our experience of existence, what can better communicate this sublimity than art?. —ZACHARY FAIRBROTHER zacharyfairbrother@gmail.com |Throbbingchakra.bandcamp.com| Twitter/Insta @avantlard

We wanted to spread the word about this one Radical App, invented right here in Boston. It’s called REFLYER. Go ahead, download and file away under: “What’s going on in the ‘hood?”: Reflyer is a crowdsourced collated list of flyers in your neighborhood. By giving a second life to flyers on a digital street pole of sorts, Reflyer operates on face value as a sort of ‘Instagram for local events.’ Anyone can take a picture of a cool flyer they see, and it will be posted to the app and categorized by date and genre. Thus resulting in a quite scroll-able list of whatever’s cool & cultural & happening in your zone! saggitarius: An eye for an eye sounds I do have my qualms about certain aspects of the callous but it’s always better if you can figexperience. A lack of explicit user profiles or rating ure out an even trade and leave money out of system allows the system as-is to get gamed by bad the equation. Lucky Show: Glenn Jones @ DAP actors and I’ve already seen a few posts that really stretch the definition of ‘flier’ (unless you considPerformance and Dance Festival! er a hastily drawn marker ad on paper to be a flier). Oct 3-8 in Boston! Editor picks’ solves this issue but the model as-is Registration opens doesn’t scale yet. Additionally, you don’t know who Aug 1 uploaded which flier and there’s evidence to believe lionsjaw.com that at least a few of the fliers currently uploaded are from the person who posted the flier itself. User Pro- all these articles online and more at files of some sort would probably alleviate that probbostonhassle.com lem, so I imagine such a feature will come in the future. Inevitably, Reflyer offers a community-centric approach to local activities and is certainly a candidate for replacing Facebook’s evil monopoly. Give it a shot, let me know what you think! —DANIEL LLOYD MILLER
