“Coonskin 2: Flight to Canada”, a collection of art works by Terrance Hughes
Opening reception: Saturday, October 8th, 6 – 9pm
For Hughes, this upcoming show is a concoction of two inpirations: Flight to Canada, a novel by Ishmael Reed, and Coonskin, an animated film by Bakshi. Flight to Canada tells the story of Raven Quickskill, 40’s, and Leechfield slaves who run away from their master, Mr. Swille, in search of freedom. Coonskin tells the story of Brother Rabbit, Preacher Fox, and Brother Bear, who flee the American South during the 1970s in search of liberation. Using satire, sex, violence, identity, and history to tell the stories of their characters, both Reed and Bakshi make clear that transformation can only come from within—a theme that is the cornerstone of Hughes’ work and that resonates deeply in his life. Consequently, there is “Coonskin 2: Flight to Canada”, which is Hughes’ vision of a sequel that will never happen. The show serves as homage and “thank you” to the great works of Reed and Bakshi and is a representation of Hughes’ love of the lost art of animation. Terrance Hughes was born in 1975 in St. Louis, Missouri, and currently lives and works in New York City. He is a self-taught artist, whose work deals with different periods of Black American history and issues surrounding cultural and social identities. Hughes’ works consist of two elements: graphite and charcoal on paper to create rendered portraits and landscapes from photo references, which are meant to mimic the photo itself, complete with imperfections; and animation Cel Vinyl on acetate, providing stark contrast through its vivid color and three-dimensional effect. It is his belief that the lost art of animation deserves a place in the art world.
Hughes has had recent exhibitions at Modern Eden, San Francisco, The Cheaper Show, Vancouver, and Mad Art Gallery, St. Louis. In March, Hughes participated in a group show to benefit Japan relief at graphite., Williamsburg.

An Art Book – Performa
Wednesday, October 5, 2011, 6 – 8 p.m.
celebration of the newest Performa publication Performa 09: Back to Futurism,The New York Public Library hosts a conversation between Performa Founding Director and Curator RoseLee Goldberg, Performa 09 Commission artist Wangechi Mutu, and Performa 11 Commission artist Shirin Neshat. They discuss what it means to commission a new work in live performance and the impact that the Performa biennial has had on the history and future of live performance.
Written and edited by legendary performance art historian RoseLee Goldberg,Performa 09: Back to Futurism is the definitive document of the unforgettable Performa 2009 biennial. It is the third volume to draw content and inspiration from the world-renowned Performa biennials, and features creative documentation by the 150 artists who made Performa 09 so extraordinary–among them Guy Ben-Ner,Candice Breitz, Omer Fast, Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster, Mike Kelley, Arto Lindsay, Wangechi Mutu, Christian Tomaszewski and Yeondoo Jung (all of whom presented special Performa Commissions) and Keren Cytter, Tacita Dean,Alicia Framis, Loris Greaud, William Kentridge and Joan Jonas (who brought US premieres to the biennial). Photographs of each artist’s performance and texts contributed by curators and critics provide accounts of every show, as well as an understanding of the importance of each work within the artist’s individual career and in relation to larger artistic trends. Taking place at over 80 of New York’s most exciting art and cultural venues, Performa 09 was created as a collaboration between all of these moving parts, so a portrait of the city’s remarkable history of cultural innovation also emerges from these pages. Performa 09: Back to Futurism is not only a gorgeous document of a remarkable biennial, but also an invaluable reference guide to the most significant artists
Art Spigelman: Metamaus
Thu, Oct 6, 2011, 8 pm
First published in 1986, Art Spiegelman’s Maus, a comic-book chronicle of his parents’ experience during the Holocaust, was hailed by Jules Feiffer as “a remarkable work, awesome in its conception and execution . . . at one and the same time a novel, a documentary, a memoir and a comic book. Brilliant. Just brilliant.”
To mark the book’s twenty-fifth anniversary, Spiegelman now publishesMetaMaus—“my notebooks, my sketches, rough drafts, interviews, transcripts, photos [and] historical references made into a work that can sit next to Maus.” The book has been edited by Hillary Chute.

Born of the Floating World: A Brief Exploration of the Japanese Graphic Narrative
Thursday, October 6th, 8pm
In 1988, the anime adaptation of Otomo Katsuhiro’s perennial serialized manga Akira was released in Japan, shattering domestic attendance records for an animated film. Shortly thereafter, its distributor presented it to George Lucas and Steven Spielberg as the ideal anime for English-language adaptation. The two dismissed it offhand, deeming the very concept of a cerebral, macabre, challenging animated film as “completely unmarketable” in the United States. Animation in America was the sole purview of children, they reckoned, and throughout the 90s, those few anime that were adapted for the American market were heavily edited to remove any and all controversy or ‘adult’ themes, thus rendering them safe for Saturday mornings. In 2001, however, Disney took a chance, bringing a largely faithful, unedited translation of Hayao Miyazaki’s Spirited Away to theaters. It was an astounding success, enjoying uniform critical acclaim and record profits for a foreign animated film, and sparking an unprecedented interest in anime and manga in America.

Anyone’s Story (a community singing event)@Expano
Saturday, October 8 · 8:00pm – 9:00pm
I’ve written a 20-minute choral piece for amateur singers. Originally it was written for SATB chorus, but on Oct. 8, I want to gather a gaggle of singers to take part in a public “happening” of Anyone’s Story.
The idea: Choruses are made of individuals, and it’s about time each person got their own voice in the process of making choral music. Pitches and duration is given, but the words are up to you. You can chant about the weather, the pains in your side, or anything on your mind. In a large group, the cacophony of individual ideas, thoughts, complaints, and accolades will, hopefully, create something beautiful.
The jist: You and your friends join a bunch of other singers at a public place. You all bring a pair of shades, your portable music player and some headphones. Everyone starts their track at the same time and sings along, chanting the words of their choosing.

Their debut album “Up From the Ground Below” was recorded in the restaurant’s dining room. Its twenty songs were captured completely live in one day. At their CD release party, the MSSB played four live sets to a standing room only crowd. Brooklyn’s best kept secret was out.

Actual live birth as performance art
October 8 – November 7, 2011
Opening Reception Saturday October 8, 6-9PM
MICROSCOPE Gallery presents The Birth of Baby X, a month-long performance and installation by Bushwick artist Marni Kotak culminating in the birth of her first child at the gallery. With The Birth of Baby X Kotak continues to present her life experiences as works of art, works in which she strives to avoid the spectacle often involved in performance art to reach what is real. Influenced by the performances of Hannah Wilke, Chris Burden, Vito Acconci, Marina Abramovic, and Carolee Schneemann that test the limits of the human body experience, Kotak seeks to create works of raw immediacy. The Birth of Baby X will be her most profound and physically challenging performance.

Iron & Wine
Wed, October 12, 2011
Over the course of his ten-year career, Iron & Wine’s Sam Beam has become one of today’s greatest story tellers, crafting meticulous tales full of forlorn love, religious imagery and wistful dreams. It’s been more than three years since his last studio effort, The Shepherd’s Dog, which was widely praised by fans and critics alike. While Beam’s early albums were sparse, intimate solo affairs, Shepherd’s introduced layered textures and poly-rhythmic sounds that allowed his lyrics to spring to life. It’s only natural then, that Beam took this sonic collage and built upon it for his new album, Kiss Each Other Clean. The result is a brighter, more focused record that retains the idiosyncratic elements that make Iron & Wine such an engaging band.

About the Show
From its abstract roots in Cubism to the political and counter culture movements of Dada and Punk, collage has always been aproduct of its environment. With the rise of 24 hour media cycles, social networks and search engines, contemporary culture has effectively rendered print media obsolete, creating a virtual boom in discarded paper ephemera for collage artists to examine and reinvent. Through these discarded remnants collage artists have become the archivists and activists of this post modern age, paralleling the frenetic pace in which we live while exposing the voyeuristic and often disjointed nature of popular culture.
Tiger Lillies with Special Guest Justin Vivian Bond: SINDERELLA SONGS, A CONCERT
Oct 25-29
St. Ann’s Warehouse favorites, The Tiger Lillies, return with special guest Justin Vivian Bond, for an exclusive concert performance, featuring selections from their album Sinderella. The album recounts the sordid tale of our fairytale favorite, who has fallen on hard times and resorts to turning tricks in return for smack, and her abusive stepmother and ugly stepsisters. The songs singled out for this special concert will be conveyed through the twin vocal assault of Bond (Shortbus, Kiki and Herb) and the Lillies. “Hopefully we will be able to generate quite a lot of hatred on stage between us” (Martyn Jacques). In addition to their Sinderella collaboration, The Tiger Lillies and Justin Vivian Bond will each perform sets of their greatest hits.
