This night-time programme takes us on a trip via the The Practice of Living guide to the end of relationships that sometimes last too long (Vielleicht zu lange) and at the end of which you wish you were on another Planet of Sexes, only to experience that verbal communication is also considerably seriously upset in Heimweh der Feldforscher. So let’s allow the people and the music to do the talking in Ein Jäger aus Kurpfalz and Star-Spangled Banner, because when the earth is contaminated and everything is Gelb (yellow) and we suffer fromApnoe(a), then the only thing that helps is to be drowned together.

PARSONS HALL PROJECT SPACE was not always what it seemed to be, for a brief time in 2009 between the Spring screening of SPECULATION(ELATION)2 and the Fall exhibition HHORRRAUTICA 4:(CRYPTO) there existed another curation event not shared with the public. This variable experience existed for only two days inside 362 Dwight Street, known then as Lake Hitchcock Center for the Arts. After re-contacting all of the participants it was decided that the RETCON projects would be shared sometime in the nearest future. We would like to give a special thanks to George Kuchar who inspired the first RETCON gathering and who now has prompted that this new continuity be rebooted. |

HALFLIFERS - EAST COAST DVD LAUNCH & SCREENING |

FILM COMMENT - JULY/AUGUST 2011 (EXPERIMENTAL PICK) VDB.ORG - Halflifers: The Complete History, 1992-2010 LIKE Jackass FOR THE GUGGENHEIM, Anthony Discenza and Torsten Zenas Burns's collaborative project, Halflifers, is a lo-fi series of Knoxville-esque camcorder stunts wrapped up in arts-grant language. "An ordinary domestic setting is recast as a psychoactive landscape in which the concept of function becomes situational and fluid." Translation: they smear food on each other in the kitchen. With a proclivity for hazmat suits, the media art duo perform poorly staged action scenes that repeatedly disintegrate into accidental slapstick. But their series, Afterlifers: Walking & Talking, with the duo playing zombies in a riff on Romero, achieves real frisson. Footage of the things zombies get up to when no one's watching is interwoven with a dead-on parody of the end-of-the-world panel discussions from Dawn of the Dead. It's proof that while zombie movies may have moved from the grindhouse to the arthouse, no amount of irony can prevent the image of the zombie from instilling viewers with Pavlovian dread. --Grady Hendrix |
