Organized by David Teller & Bird Dog Inc., this event will feature
live sets by The Binary Marketing Show, Red Wire Black Wire, with
Indoors/Outdoors DJing/performing between acts. A late night dance
party hosted by (DJ) Matthew Radune will ensue after the live
acts.
Saturday night, November 21st.
Doors open at 9:00 P.M. Show starts at 10:00 P.M. Cost is $6.00 at the
door, until filled to capacity.
Indoors/Outdoors is Ariel Zambenedetti. Ariel creates sonic lumps
and dredges as the Manhattan-bound elevated roars by your third story
railroad apartment at 6 in the morning. Think about that third or
fourth time you've woken up from the same dream, but with a beat and
lots of reverb. Ariel will be performing his own works and
sharing some of his favorites by other artists thoughout the
night. Is he DJing? Is he preforming? We're not really sure.
The Binary Marketing Show is a Brooklyn-based indie experimental pop
group with a little intuition and home-brewed love on the side.
Electronic poly-rhythmic beats and samples intertwine with off-kilter
vocals and western guitar melodies that drive listeners into some
demented fantasy world of open plains occupied only by robotic
wildlife. Delicate but charged, the live show is an exercise of feeling.
Red Wire Black Wire is a Brooklyn based 6-piece that creates music with
the immediacy of a DJ and the subtlety of film score. Their music
combines dense but precise layers of synths, guitars, and pounding
drums. Eschewing irony, singer Doug Walters focuses on the melancholy;
critics have compared him to Robert Smith, William Burroughs, and Frank
Miller. Red Wire Black Wire effortlessly fuse electronic and organic
counterpoint to create catchy, textured, and revealing compositions.
Matthew Radune is a Brooklyn based DJ and designer who's been setting
up rooftop events and underground loft parties for several years in
Brooklyn. In the last year he's DJed at several of the finest art
establishments in New York, including MOMA for their Poprally event,
the Guggenheim, the Museum of Art and Design, and the Sculpture
Center. Matthew is sure to keep the ears dancing with his home
grown blend of progressive funk, house and disco rock.

collaboration with the audience. They have performed at many
contemporary art institutions of note (Whitney Museum, P.P.O.W.
Gallery) as well as music venues worldwide (The Smell, Echo Curio,
Dublab). After performing at Starr Space, Lucky Dragons are set to open

"one of the most talented entertainers alive."
Max Steele is a go-go dancer, writer, performance artist, and singer
who currently lives and works in Brooklyn. This year, he was profiled
by Interview Magazine and The New York Press recently described him as
"that boy at the party who you really resent because you either want to
be him or fuck him." Max Steele and The Party Ice is Steele's
"gay soul" disco band, and this is their second appearance at Starr
Space. With The Party Ice, Steele's lead vocals inspire all manner of
gyrations and bounding sexual thrusts from a bevy of accompanying
dancers.
Anthony Thornton is a Brooklyn-based artist whose output has included a
private-press tape label,
free-form ceramic sculpture, essays on
female
iconoclasts, and several unreleased compositions in power electronics.
As DJ, Thornton will round out the evening with a polarizing

converging all disciplines for an unparalleled listening experience
into the wee hours.

STARR SPACE invites you to come
out and
celebrate the completion of "Untitled Space Project," an absurdist
comedy pilot for ADULT SWIM!
Wednesday, September 9, 2009
Doors at 9 PM, Screening at 10PM SHARP-ISH
RAGIN' dance party until 3 am.
TOTALLY FREE at the door!
CHEAP LIQUOR!
"Untitled Space Project" is the brainchild of writer/director Timothy
Fiore. This show within a show brings us the tongue-in-cheek suspense
and slapstick production value of falsely futuristic space dramas from
the 1970s. Outside of the show, we follow its creators: a Producer and
Director who argue constantly about a decreasing budget while doing as
many spit-takes as possible. It's "Space:1999" meets "Monty Python"
meets Peter Sellers in a unitard!
Starring: Upright Citizens Brigade regular Ben Rameaka, Lance Rubin,
Michael Benjamin, Kristin Wheeler, Jorge Cordova, and Albert Aeed.
The Premier screens eight parts back-to-back with a total running time
of sixteen minutes.
Watch the teaser here! |

Doors open at 9:00 P.M. Show starts at 10:00 P.M.
Cost is $7.00 at the door.
Excepter is a NYC-based electronic improvisational performance

limited edition 12” vinyl single at this show – Shots Ring
(Carter Tutti Remix) / Stretch (J.G. Thirwell Remix)- as part of a
series called FRKWYS, produced by Brooklyn-based record label Rvng.
Omega Jarden is a six-person performance art collective from
Brooklyn. Founded in 2005 by Zoie Omega and Ava Jarden, the group
specializes in a marriage of psychedelic visuals, call-and-response
vocals, feverish dancing, and orgiastic rhythms. This is their second
performance at Starr Space, after their first in April alongside acts
such as Fischerspooner, Gavin Russom, Sweet Thunder, and others.
Figure Study is Nathan Antolik and April Chalpara - a newly formed
New York minimal electronik duo performing pulsating, saturnine songs
with analog synthesizers and drum machines. Earlier this month, the duo

PAPER
MONUMENT'S "I LIKE YOUR WORK: ART AND ETIQUETTE" RELEASE PARTY
Saturday, August 1, 2009
Doors at 9 PM, Party lasts until 1 AM
$10 at the door (includes a copy of "I like your work: art and
etiquette" + drinks and dancing) OR subscribe here to get the party and
the book for FREE, plus the next two issues of Paper Monument.
Paper Monument is pleased to announce the publication of its first
pamphlet, I like your work: art and
etiquette, with contributions from 38 artists, critics, curators
and dealers on the sometimes serious and sometimes ridiculous topic of
manners in the art world.
Featuring: James Bae, Jay Batlle, Andrew Berardini, Dike Blair, Matthew
Brannon, Sari Carel, Naomi Fry, Maria Elena González, Michelle
Grabner, Ethan Greenbaum, Sara Greenberger Rafferty, A.S. Hamrah,
Steffani Jemison, Paddy Johnson, Angie Keefer, Prem Krishnamurthy,
David Levine, Pam Lins, Jason Murison, Dan Nadel, Bob Nickas, Wendy
Olsoff, Dushko Petrovich, Kaspar Pincis, Richard Ryan, Jessica Slaven,
Ryan Steadman, Amanda Trager, Rachel Uffner, and Roger White.
The art world is now both socially professional and professionally
social. Curators visit artists’ studios; collectors, dealers, and
journalists assemble for a reception and reconvene later for dinner;
everyone goes to parties. We exchange introductions and small talk; art
is bought and sold; careers (and friendships) brighten or fade. In each
situation, certain behaviors are expected while others are silently
discouraged. Sometimes, what's appropriate in the real world would be
catastrophic in the art world, and vice versa.
Making these distinctions on the spot can be nerve-wracking and
disastrous. So we asked ourselves: What is the place of etiquette in
art? How do social mores establish our communities, mediate our
critical discussions, and frame our experience of art? If we were to
transcribe these unspoken laws, what would they look like? What happens
when the rules are broken? Since we didn’t have all the answers,
we politely asked our friends for some help.

Cinema 16
George Melies and Francis Thompson with musical score by Nathan Whipple
Friday, July 17, 2009
Doors at 8:30 PM, performance at 9:00 PM
$8 at the door
Cinema 16 will feature two unique filmmakers, George Melies and Francis
Thompson, with live musical score by Nathan Whipple. Four films by the
playful French magician George Melies will be screened. He was an
innovator of camera tricks in 20th century early cinema and greatly
infused humor and magic into his plot lines. Francis Thompson
began
his career as a cubist style artist and went on to make his most well
known film NYNY. The film is a surrealist homage to New
York City and
was self funded by the artist. All are silent.
Nathan Whipple may be the hardest working man in young America’s
underground art scene. When he is not performing backup for the
Experimental People, producing soundtracks for Martha Colburn, or
shredding guitars/paper in the art group TRYCRYTRY, he can be lost
hand-drawing one hundred identical CD-R covers for his next solo album.
Lose yourself in a world of post-apocalyptic vaudeville.
Complimentary drinks will be served, while supplies last. |

There is nothing so desperately monotonous
as the sea, and I no longer wonder about the cruelty of pirates
-James Russell Lowell
Sunday, July 5th, 2009
8:30 PM
$5 at the door
Starr Space presents “The Cruelty of Pirates,” a
collaborative performance by Fever Theater and artist Jenny Vogel,
followed by the music of PERFVGIVM.
THE CRUELTY OF PIRATES
“The Cruelty of Pirates” is a story of low-resolution
encounter that offers an intimate reading of contemporary loneliness.
Live-streaming video projections in the stutter-step language of
webcameras result in a display of light signals that suggest an unknown
code, some unknown message. The story is old: a man and a woman and the
innate desire for love.
PERFVGIVM
“Instead of the glow of friendly Americana, PERFVGIVM gives us a
sort of afterglow, the kind that manifests itself in the gloomier
corners of the mind...
These tracks manage to trouble our ears at the same time as they
reassure us that history and music, influence and originality, may all
cohabit the same few minutes of song."

Cinema 16
Lazaro Valiente from Mexico City
three surrealist films
JUNE 26th at Starr Space
Doors at 8.30pm
Performance at 9pm
Cinema 16 will feature three distinctly
surrealist short films that echo Mexico's surrealist art history with
live musical score by Lazaro Valiente. The films include Jan
Svankmajer's Meat Love, Slavko Vorkapich's The Furies, and Roger Barlow
and Harry Hay’s Even as You and I. Meat Love uses stop motion to
tell the story of two pieces of steak that fall in love, ending in
tragedy; The Furies is a dark tale of haunting banshees that prowl the
streets of New York committing crimes without passion; and Even as You
and I shows the grueling and extensive creative process as three young
filmmakers try to produce a surrealist film. All are silent.
Lazaro Valiente's music is composed of
both sounds and silence from daily life. Composed of a rhythmic
background and the memory of melody, all is overthrown by any/all
possibility of sound production and its distortion. Instruments and
arrangements include the use of hands, feet, mouth and body. From
experimental-made folk to rhythms made by police cars, a gentle voice,
blow dryers and handmade percussion compose a simple sing-along type of
music.

Settings for Lived Praxis
Friday, May 15th
Exhibition 4-8pm
Performances 8pm-3am

A Micro-Exhibition featuring work by Knut Åsdam, Zbynek
Baladrán, Amir Mogharabi, Jiøí Skála,
Future7, Nickel van Duijvenboden, Gwenneth Boelens, Joao Simoes, and
Cédrick Eymenier.
For Settings, curator Michael Capio
is working under the notion of "micro-exhibition," which takes the
function of display as a medium for exploring the conflation of
artistic and curatorial initiatives.
While imposing limited time
constraints on the curatorial process, the micro-exhibition concept
introduces a working model for observing the relationship between
interdisciplinary projects, sound and design in the installation
environment.
Accordingly, the time frame for
Settings will encompass an evening-length period, which will include
performances by Michael Capio, an in-situ sound performance by Keiko
Uenishi [o.blaat], late night DJ set, texts, screenings and projections.

Sweet Thunder Talent
Expo 2009
Saturday, April 11, 2009
Doors at 7, Show at 7:30

Organized by curator Joseph Whitt,
the presentation will feature solo performances by:
- Fischerspooner
- Andrew W.K.
- Gavin Russom
- Lizzy Yoder
- Phiiliip w/ Omega Jarden
- International Fiction (Ford Wright and Nick Demopoulos)
- Alex Eiserloh’s "Kinda Like Monkeys"

Performance artist Adam Dugas will

once-upon-a-time darlings of the Williamsburg underground, Sweet
Thunder, will conclude the night!
Sweet Thunder was a band formed
in 1997 in NYC with Alex Eiserloh, Lizzy Yoder, Casey Spooner, Kelly
Kuvo, Gavin Russom, Heather Romney, Peter Redgrave, and Jodie Mechanic.
The group formed to sing songs exclusively about Niagara Falls. Sweet
Thunder lasted two years, debuting in February 1998 at a Chelsea venue
called The Cooler, and later offering its swansong at Starbucks, Astor
Place (NYC) in August 1999. In the summer of '98, the band recorded
thirteen songs with producer Bobby Conn at Rubulad, an art space in
Williamsburg, Brooklyn. None of these songs have ever been officially
released, and little documentation of the band’s actions exist.
Many members of Sweet Thunder have gone on to enjoy great success as
solo artists, and the SWEET THUNDER TALENT EXPO 2009 brings the
original group together for the first time in ten years!

Cine 16
Friday February 13th at 9 pm
$7 FREE DRINKS
Cinema 16 will feature Elia Kazan's
first film "Pie in the Sky" and Edwin S. Porters' "Dream of a Rarebit
Fiend." Both American films explore a whimsical sense of humor in the
post WWI era. As early American pioneers in the film industry these
shorts satire elements of society such as religion, machismo and
belligerence. Porters', once an electrician, uses trick cinematography
to tell the tale of a drunken man on a lush quest that turns into a
nightmare. Written, directed, and starring the Puvlic Theater, "Pie in
the Sky" is a depression era comment on religious values and life in
the U.S.'s economic crisis. Critically acclained band,
The Wild Yaks, will provide the live musical score.

Buffie Gilbert
presents: Bushwick Band Night
Marionettes of Satan: a satanic
six piece with members from around the globe; playing a newly
discovered genre of music known only as psyche/mania. Featured
in the New Years Eve issue of Timeout NY as their number one pick
for after midnight events. Future gigs include Angels Lounge (February
13th), and the Brooklyn Academy of Music's around the borough festival
(Feb. 14th) at Goodbye Blue Monday.
Made up of four kids who became friends at a Boston art school and a
singer from Australia, Lady Magma
blends elements of Folk, Punk, R&B, Reggae and Rock'n'Roll. The
beats are heavily influenced by Hip Hop breaks and the vocals taste of
Tina Turner while the lead guitar wails electrified blues riffs. The
band, singer Andrea Mersits, Brian Derdiarian and Teresa McMahon on
guitar, bassist Chelsea Vigue, and drummer Max Dunlop.
Adam B, Tony D, Mikey V and
Oliver R live in Brooklyn and do lots of projects. Like drinking beer
at the Northeast Kingdom. Playing shows in the basement of the Kingdom.
Hosting film nights in the basement of the Kingdom, of films they
partly shot in the basement of the Kingdom ("The 21st Arrondissement Of
Paris: Bushwick" aka check it out on youtube.) They've played right

Cinema 16
Friday, Nov. 21, 9 PM (doors at 8:30)
$7, Free drinks
Cinema 16 will feature two short
films by two distinct filmmakers, an animation by Harry Smith and the
Occurrence at Owlcreek Bridge by Robert Enrico.
The two films evoke at Americanism and its early expressions of
identity and self-expression. The Occurrence at Owlcreek
Bridge tells the tale of a captive soldier during the Civil War, based
off of the powerful Ambrose Bierce short story. When fantasizing
about his own survival, the prisoner looks at the surrounding American
landscape with the eyes of a newborn, evoking the magic and beauty of
the terrain. The opening animation employs an avant garde and
whimsy that embodies the early abstractions of American
animations. Critically acclaimed Artanker Convoy will provide the
live musical score. Doors open at 8:30pm and the screening begins at
9pm.
Cinema 16 recreates the experience of the silent film era in which live
music would accompany black and white 16mm projections. These monthly
screenings, curated by Molly Surno, modernize the tradition of silent
films by pairing contemporary musicians with vintage shorts.

Friday, Nov. 14, 8 PM
Triple Canopy is pleased to announce a performance by NEW HUMANS, the
collaborative group led by artists MIKA TAJIMA and HOWIE CHEN,
coinciding with the publication of our fourth issue.
New Humans presents a performance as a postindustrial assembly line: a
production of contradictions and dissonance employing
analog-synthesizer drones, fractured vocals, sheer feedback, and the
disassembly of a sculpture, staged atop mirrored sheets of glass.
The evening also includes a performance by Brooklyn-based metal duo
ORPHAN and DJ sets by New York–based curator and writer BOB
NICKAS and musician MARK IBOLD, formerly of Pavement and currently the
bassist for Sonic Youth.
Visual artists COLBY BIRD, JONAH GROENEBOER, ANDRES LARACUENTE, RACHEL
OWENS, MATTHEW LUSK, and LUCY RAVEN will exhibit sculptures and
installations curated by Triple Canopy and created specifically for the
event.
Please join us for the performance and to celebrate the release of
TRIPLE CANOPY ISSUE 4, featuring work by Anna Altman, Bidisha Banerjee
& George Collins, Sonya Blesofsky, Alison Cartwright & Maria
Sonevytsky, Patrick Clark, Barry Harbaugh, Adam Helms, Hassan Khan

Paper Monument #2
Launch Party
We are pleased to announce the
publication of Paper Monument #2. To see our annotated, illustrated
table of contents, please visit www.papermonument.com.
Our second issue opens with the editors' customary
reflections on the artistic life, followed by two polemics on related
themes: a pseudonymous piece on PR's ubiquity in the artworld and
Christoper Hsu's self-explanatory "The End of Carnality is the
Beginning of Facebook."
The essays begin with Jessica Slaven's "Sculpture in the
Expended Field," which chronicles recent attempts to defile exhibition
spaces. Next, Jen Schwarting's "You Dirty, Worthless Slut" argues that
Laurel Nakadate's lineage and motivations have both been misunderstood,
and Keith Gessen's "Russia" offers a timely report on the possibilities
of cultural resistance under Putin.
In "Camera Vacua," David Giles categorizes the
catastrophically empty photos he's been seeing recently, and in
"WeTube," Mark Greif describes the present state of amateur video.
Finally, Naomi Fry illuminates the chatty text-drawings in Amanda
Trager's Brooklyn studio.
In our reviews section, Andrew Berardini watches Gilles
Deleuze alphabetically at a bar in LA, Loretta Staples remembers her
love affair with design, and Gregory Warner test-drives Lonely Planet's
unlikely Guide to Afghanistan.
We also happily present four full-color portfolios made
especially for Paper Monument: a quartet of Kerstin Brätsch's
serial collages, Alex Klein's unfolding take on The Greening of
America, plus a surfeit of James Howard's internet ads, and four
variations on the art of make-up from Noah Sheldon.
