  Generations: The School of Viktor Schreckengost
3/17 – 4/14/06 , Wed. - Fri 10-5 & Sat 12-4;  ph. 216-721-9020 http://www.artistsarchives.org/

The Artists Archives is proud to take part in the exhibitions and celebrations commemorating the centennial of Viktor Schreckengost’s birth with an unusual show of original drawings and objects from the collection of the prominent Cleveland-based design firm Nottingham – Spirk.
Schreckengost has been a seminal figure in his own right in contemporary American design since the 1930’s. As an educator he has impacted countless students, influencing three generations of commercial and industrial designers.

“The School of Viktor Schreckengost” explores one corner of that ever-widening sphere of influence, displaying a selection of Viktor’s original studies and objects designed for mass consumption, plus a selection of familiar objects created by seven of his former students – familiar because they have become part of our daily lives.

Opening Reception March 17, 2006 from 5-8pm. This event is free and open to the public, RSVP unnecessary but please feel free to call 216-721-9020 for further details. Please note that across the hall The Sculpture Center’s annual On a Pedastel show, 3/10 – 4/14/06 was selected this year by Viktor Schreckengost. Together the two exhibits offer a unique chance to glimpse the mind of one of the past century’s most celebrated designers.
New hours, during exhibitions only: Wed. – Fri. 10am – 4pm, Sat. 12 – 4pm, admission free and open to public. Groups welcome: off-hour gallery tours can be arranged by appointment, if necessary. AAWR is an independent entity, self-sustaining through a fee charged to Archived Artists for storage space utilized. It is also supported through grants, contributions, and fundraising activities. Selections of Archived work are shown at various corporate locations throughout the region, thus another source of revenue is the fee charged for such corporate memberships.

From today's Akron Beacon Journal, by Malcom X. Abram:

Still in need New Orleans is still screwed -- to put it bluntly. Among the thousands of people forced out of their homes and now out of the hotels/shelters in which they were temporarily residing are many musicians who aren't Wynton Marsalis or the Neville Brothers, who still need a helping hand.

Friday night at the Lime Spider in Akron, there will be a ``Displaced Musicians Benefit'' featuring music, videos and a curated art show. The music will be provided by headliner Big Daddy & the Hoo-Doo Men, blues guitarist Ian Penter, The Satisfiers, the all-female zydeco band SugarTwang, Derek DePrater Blues Band, area rockabilly favorites Honkytonk Damnation and a rare live appearance from Trial of Lucy. featuring members of Unit 5, The Mundanes and a guy who makes a mean grilled-cheese sandwich.

The videos will be provided by Karen Kilroy of the Ohio Hysterical Musical Society and the art show will be curated by artist Vincent Packard. Numbers Band main man Jack Kidney will host along with Chris Butler of the Waitresses and Tin Huey.

All proceeds will be donated to New Orleans' Tipitina's Foundation, which helps musicians find temporary housing.

Matthew Barney's CREMASTER films are not on video or DVD, so this is a rare chance to see them.

Admission to each program is $8, Cinematheque members $5.

CREMASTER 1
USA, 1995, Matthew Barney
CREMASTER 2
USA, 1999, Matthew Barney
Sculptor Matthew Barney's five Cremaster movies have become an art-world sensation. But few have seen the complete film cycle, named for the muscle that regulates the height of the testicles in the male body. Cremaster 1 is set in a hovering Goodyear blimp, where a woman arranges grapes into geometric patterns that a bevy of chorus girls re-create on a blue Astroturf football field below. Cremaster 2 is a mythopoeic western that encompasses executed Utah killer Gary Gilmore (Matthew Barney), legendary escape artist Harry Houdini (Norman Mailer), bees, cars, country dancing, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, and stunning scenic vistas. Both 35mm. Total 120 min. www.cremaster.net

Saturday, March 25, at 7:00 pm
All-Request Weekend!
CREMASTER 3
USA, 2002, Matthew Barney
The last-completed film in Matthew Barney's Cremaster cycle is the longest, grandest, and most accomplished. Shot in locations ranging from Ireland and Scotland to the Chrysler Building and the Guggenheim Museum, this surrealistic, dialogue-less epic embraces myth and history while offering up a series of visually staggering vignettes illustrating man's age-old proclivity to create and destroy. During the course of this inscrutable but fascinating "spaces" odyssey, Barney confronts Masons, chorus girls, punk rockers, a half-cheetah woman, and the architect of the Chrysler Building (played by artist Richard Serra). 35mm. 178 min.
