01/17/2013 - water+color: CWA's 43rd National Exhibition
Posted: 17 Jan 2013 10:00 AM PST
Artists' reception Saturday, Jan 19, 1-3pm; Exhibit Jan 17 through Feb 16, Wed-Fri 12-5pm, Sat 11am-3pm
The Harrington Gallery at the Firehouse Arts Center hosts this year's prestigious California Watercolor Association's 43rd National Exhibition entitled "water+color 2013." The exhibit features watermedia paintings by 80 nationally recognized, award-winning artists from as close as Danville to as far as Mumbai, India. There is a free public reception on Saturday, January 19 from 1-3 p.m. The public is welcome to enjoy refreshments and meet with a number of the artists who will be in attendance.
In addition to the opportunity to discover and enjoy these exquisite nationally recognized works, the public will have the unique opportunity to watch live painting demonstrations in the gallery by some of the participating artists. Each Saturday of the exhibition between the hours of 11:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. beginning on January 26, one of the artists will be on-site to discuss their work, answer questions, and demonstrate their painting techniques.
Northern California artists are well-represented in the exhibit, including Chris Beck of Los Altos, Scotts Valley's Linda Curtis, "contemporary realism" practitioner Karen Frey, Michael Reardon of Oakland, and urban 'plein air' artist David Savellano. Other local exhibiting artists of interest are Walnut Creek's Anne Fallin of the TWSA (Transparent Watercolor Society of America), Ruth Koch, known for her juxtaposition of colors and shapes, and Robin Purcell who is known for rich deep colors in the plein air tradition. These artists represent widely diverse approaches to the use of watermedia, and their inclusion makes for a fascinating exploration of the varied uses of water colors.
The works selected for this large and diverse installation were chosen by guest curator Santa Cruz artist Mike Bailey, a Signature Member of the National Watercolor Society, who in addition to being a respected and award-winning artist in his own right, also leads frequent painting workshops both nationally and internationally.

01/17/2013 - End of the Reel: An Oddball Memoriam 2012
Posted: 17 Jan 2013 06:00 PM PST
Oddball Films and guest curator Lynn Cursaro present End of the Reel: An Oddball Memoriam 2012. Each year brings a varied roster of newly gone-but-not-forgotten figures and we present a varied and freewheeling look back at a few. Chris Marker’s haunting time travel tale La Jetée (1962) has had a broad influence in many genres in the 50 years since its release and remains gripping. Maurice Sendak’s swinging kitchen metropolis, In the Night Kitchen (1975), is just familiar enough to be the stuff of dreams. Were the Monkees a fake pop band or a real TV show? Who cares? Davy Jones and gang cut up in a colorful reel of Monkees Outtakes (c. 1966). A decade before the trill of a sitar became pop cultural shorthand for groovy, Ravi Shankar was making inroads toward a Western audience with projects like Norman McLaren’s A Chairy Tale (1957). We will also feature many more of the recently departed in shorter snippets of news and variety show excerpts. The curator’s notorious home-baked gingerbread will be among the complimentary home-baked treats for all.
Hey! Not so Past!
Date: Thursday, January 17, 2012 at 8:00PM.
Venue: Oddball Films, 275 Capp Street, San Francisco
Admission: $10.00, RSVP Only to: 415-558-8117 or programming <at> oddballfilm.com
Highlights include:
La Jetee (B+W, 1962)
Chris Marker, (1921-2012) elusive filmmaker, poet, novelist, photographer and editor, challenged generations moviegoers with his complex queries about time, memory, and the rapid advancement of life on this planet. Marker’s La Jetée is one of the most influential, radical science-fiction films ever made, a time travel meditation told in haunting mostly still images. Sent backward and forward in time as a tool of his captors, a prisoner becomes entangled with a woman from the pre-war world and a memory from his own past.
East Meets West, Canadian Style
A Chairy Tale (B+W, 1957)
Ravi Shankar (1920-2012) was on the brink of wide international fame in 1956 when he scored Claude Jutra and Norman McLaren’s stop motion parable of man vs. chair. A young man, looking for nothing more than a place to sit and have a nice read finds himself in a ferocious battle of this wills with an uncooperative chair. Shankar’s sitar and tabla arrangement energizes this tale of a conflict and its unusual resolution.
Hey, Hey!
Monkees Outtakes (circa 1966)
Former jockey Davy Jones (1945-2012) had been signed to Columbia’s TV division straight from his stage success as the Artful Dodger in Oliver! and was conveniently on hand to add a dash of actual Britishness to NBC’s “Pre-Fab Four.†With his English music hall sensibilities and boyish looks, Jones was the most apt teen idol of the motley quartet. In this selection of colorful outtakes, all four Monkees get a chance to show off their lovably goofy sides.
Another Fine Mess . . . of Cake!
In the Night Kitchen (Gene Dietch, Color, 1975)
With its comic book format and flash of baby nudity, Maurice Sendak’s In the Night Kitchen was groundbreaking (and censored!) upon its 1970 publication. But making a wild rumpus in the picture book aisle was always the Sendak way: from the moody Where the Wild Things Are to his adaptation of the children’s holocaust opera Brundibar. Our hero Mickey tumbles into the pantry metropolis of the night kitchen, where after hours baking is overseen by a trio of Oliver Hardy look-a-likes, who pop him in the oven. Freely referencing Windsor McKay’s Little Nemo, Sendak enhanced his standing as cool uncle to generations of kids. Angelo Michajlov's Kitchen Sink-o-Pators provide the appropriately swinging score.

01/18/2013 - Portholes to the Past
Posted: 18 Jan 2013 06:00 PM PST
Oddball Films and guest curator Landon Bates bring you Portholes to the Past, an exploration of and tribute to the ancient imagination, centered on (but not limited to) classical Greek mythology. Commencing our tour through antiquity, we’ll soar over the splendid Mayan ruins of Sentinels of Silence (1971), the award-winning documentary narrated by that deity of cinema Orson Welles. We’ll then head to Greece for Galathea: Das Lebende Marmorbild (1935), wherein the myth of Pygmalion - a sculptor who falls in love with his statue after a goddess brings it to life--is rendered through the ever-elegant silhouette cutouts of pioneering German animator Lotte Reiniger. Then, the part-educational-documentary, part-mythological-reenactment, The Greek Myths: Myth as Fiction, History, and Ritual (1972), a whirlwind of a film that combines live action and animation, covering three favorite myths (most prominently showcasing that fearsome battle in the heart of the Minotaur’s maze), in addition to taking on questions of modern interpretation. Rounding out our program’s Greek center is an animated version of that classic quest for the Golden Fleece, Jason and the Argonauts (1987). And, finally, we’ll conclude the night on a more modern note, with a man who internalized the ancients and laced his own stories with myths and mysteries, as we delve into The Inner World of Jorge Luis Borges (1972).
Date: Friday, January 18th, 2013 at 8:00pm
Venue: Oddball Films, 275 Capp Street San Francisco
Admission: $10.00 Limited Seating RSVP to programming <at> oddballfilm.com or (415) 558-8117
“Old myths, old gods, old heroes have never died. They are only sleeping at the bottom of our minds, waiting for our call.â€
- Stanley Kunitz
Featuring:
Sentinels of Silence (Color, 1971)
Over 30 years before the enormously popular BBC Planet Earth series, there was Sentinels of Silence, a worthy forbearer of the documentary epic, whose aerial helicopter shots soar over mist covered masses of tropical forest and float around the ancient Mayan ruins, astounding in their architectural complexity and grandiosity. This film does full justice to its subjects, appropriately brazen in its technical approach, and supported by the authoritative narration of Orson Welles, whose Charles Foster Kane, in an earlier time, might’ve presided over one of these ancient palaces. And, as an enigma is at the heart of Welles’s Kane narrative, so a central mystery looms over the ruins of this film: why did these highly advanced societies disappear? All we have as answers are the relics, “all trying to communicate their secrets through a dozen centuries.†(Sentinels of Silence is also the only short film ever to have won 2 Academy Awards.)
Galathea: Das Lebende Marmorbild (B+W, 1935)
While rightly celebrated for her 1926 film The Adventures of Prince Achmed (widely credited as the first feature length animation), Lotte Reiniger’s vast body of short films remains largely overlooked. We at Oddball seek to correct this oversight. In this playful rendition of the Pygmalion myth, Reiniger gets meta: as Pygmalion’s inanimate sculpture comes to life by the unseen hand of Aphrodite, so Reinger bestows her paper cutouts with fluidly graceful movement, with life! And (if this metaphor may be stretched little further), as Pygmalion falls in love with Galathea, so, too, do we with this film.
The Greek Myths Part 1: Myth as Fiction, History, and Ritual (Color, 1972)
Throughout his career John Barnes directed a staggering number of films for Encyclopedia Britannica Films Inc., believing the genre of educational films to be artistically legitimate as well as culturally important. “I have an idea�"a faith, I suppose it really is�"that some of my films�"or a single film, or even a single sequence in a film�"will light up a young mind somewhere: light it up so that nothing�"unsympathetic teachers, lack of a decent place to live, or lack of love�"can ever plunge it into darkness.†This film, exploring interpretive ideas about mythology, (myth as a sort of primitive version of fiction, a disguised history, and as a manifestation of prehistoric ritual), is sure to set your own mind alight. Includes dramatizations of Theseus and the Minotaur, Orpheus and Eurydice, and Persephone.
Jason and the Argonauts (Color, 1987)
Long before The Avengers there was a serious band of heroes: The Argonauts. In order to capture the prized Golden Fleece, Jason and the gang must face a series of challenges: clashing rocks, deadly birds, seductive sirens, fierce bulls, and the guarding serpent. An older Jason narrates some major events of his youthful adventure to two young Greek boys in this animated mythological epic.
The Inner World of Jorge Luis Borges (Color, 1972)
In a program preoccupied with myths, no one is more appropriate than Jorge Luis Borges, whose stories are lean and atmospheric, even hallucinatory; they’re hard to pin down, but stir a little something up in the mind. While T.S. Eliot in The Wasteland, for instance, collaged fragments of myths, one might say that Borges digested myths, alchemized them, to create others. His stories are made up of the fabric of myths. He also wrote about them--his stories are thematically preoccupied with them--, about the way they seep into the culture and can become almost physically present. This half-hour long documentary features several conversations with Borges in his native Buenos Aires, addressing a range of topics from his love of libraries, living blind, and his literary concerns of mythology, time, and space.
Curator’s Biography:
Landon Bates is a UC Berkeley graduate of English Literature, plays drums for the duo Disappearing People, and is a cinephile whose devotion to movies knows no bounds.

Posted: 18 Jan 2013 06:00 PM PST
Super Scene is a fast-paced, and hilarious theater competition featuring six directors creating six unique, completely improvised stories each with a unique tone or genre...but here's the catch:
Stories unfold one scene at a time, round by round. After each round, the audience gets to choose which stories continue on, and which story is eliminated, until the final round, where only one story remains and the SUPER SCENE is performed.

01/19/2013 - Punch Card: Group exhibition at Catharine Clark Gallery
Posted: 19 Jan 2013 01:00 PM PST
Jan 19 - Feb 23; reception Jan 19, 3-5pm
Catharine Clark Gallery announces "Punch Card," a group exhibition of works by Andy Diaz Hope and Laurel Roth, Nina Katchadourian, Ligorano/Reese, Devorah Sperber, and Stephanie Syjuco, January 19-February 23, 2013. The reception will be held Saturday, January 19 from 3- 5pm, with a gallery walkthrough by Catharine Clark at 3pm.
"Punch Card" examines how contemporary artists are merging technology and traditional textiles to redefine and repurpose craft, each uniquely forming their own "digital stitch" as they merge art historical and contemporary references. The exhibition title, "Punch Card," refers to the mechanics of the jacquard loom, suggesting the loom as a precursor for contemporary digital practices. Predating computer pixilation and CNC mechanic precision, the 19th century punch cards guide the design of jacquard weaving: cards of individually punched holes correspond one-to-one to components of the design, combining to form intricate patterns. Whether weaving digitally, pixel by pixel, like Andy Diaz Hope and Laurel Roth, with fiber optic thread in "Fifty Different Minds" by Ligorano/Reese, or directly on commercially produced photographs, as in Nina Katchadourian's "Paranormal Postcards," the artists in this exhibition are openly exploring the possibilities between hand and machinery in the digital era.

01/23/2013 - Berkeley Climate Coalition Social
Posted: 23 Jan 2013 05:00 PM PST
You're invited to join the Berkeley Climate Action Coalition for an evening of fun, entertainment, and conversation. We'll watch the critically acclaimed film, Gasland, and enjoy dinner together. This is a chance to connect with Coalition members and learn something about the destructive technology capturing the interest of the energy industry: fracking.
Who: You, your friends, neighbors, colleagues, and anyone else interested in joining the Coalition. What to Bring: A dish to share + board games if you've got them.
About Gasland: "The largest domestic natural gas drilling boom in history has swept across the United States. The Halliburton-developed drilling technology of "fracking" or hydraulic fracturing has unlocked a "Saudia Arabia of natural gas" just beneath us. But is fracking safe? When filmmaker Josh Fox is asked to lease his land for drilling, he embarks on a cross-country odyssey uncovering a trail of secrets, lies and contamination. A recently drilled nearby Pennsylvania town reports that residents are able to light their drinking water on fire. This is just one of the many absurd and astonishing revelations of a new country called GASLAND. Part verite travelogue, part expose, part mystery, part bluegrass banjo meltdown, part showdown."
Not a member of the Coalition yet? No problem! Come for the evening, then consider joining.

01/25/2013 - Princess Ida
Posted: 25 Jan 2013 06:00 PM PST
A 20 year old treaty states that Princess Ida and Prince Hilarion are to marry when they come of age. That time has come, but Ida refuses to honor a commitment made on her behalf when she was an infant, and has gone off to the country to start a women's university. There she teaches an interesting variation on Darwin's theory: that man - not woman, just man - is descended from apes, and is thus inferior to woman. The Prince, on the other hand, is an unabashed romantic, and decides to woo Ida and win her love. He and two friends make their way to the university, where they disguise themselves as women in order to enroll and get close to her…
This is the show that swept the awards at the International G+S Festival in Buxton, England - Best Production + Best Overseas Production + Best Director+ Best Male Singer + Special Adjudicator’s Award for Costumes + “a remarkable performance… A memorable night†(David Turner, Festival Adjudicator)

Relive bygone times as Playland-not-at-the-Beach revives the spirit of the Old West. The little members of the posse can win prizes bringin' outlaws to justice in a treasure hunt as the sheriffs kick back with FREE PLAY pinball and arcade games. A rootin', tootin' hoot for the entire gang!
The special events of Martin Luther King Weekend are in addition to all of Playland's regular attractions. Guests pay one low price to enter and can play all day: $10 for children and seniors, and $15 for general admission. Playland-Not-at-the-Beach is a nonprofit Museum of Fun. Designed and built entirely by volunteers, the 20+ interactive exhibits celebrate the magic and history of America's bygone amusements -- circuses, carnivals, magic, side shows, penny arcades, amusement devices, pinball arcades, haunted houses, and beautiful art everywhere. Our goal is to educate newer generations about the bygone days and allow those who remember Whitney's Playland and the Sutro Baths the opportunity to recapture the glorious sights and sounds of that marvelous era.

01/26/2013 - Bashir Sakhawarz: reading .. CORRECTION
Posted: 26 Jan 2013 05:00 PM PST
The Emerald Tablet presents Afghan poet and novelist BASHIR SAKHAWARZ, reading from his new book “Maargir The Snake Charmerâ€.
“Maargir The Snake Charmer†narrates the poignant and passionate story of two brothers in Afghanistan, during the time of the Russian invasion…. a deeply moving story, told with uplifting humour, sears into our minds the tragedies that haunt present-day Afghanistan - the importance of Islam as a controlling force; the upheaval and destruction caused by the Russian and American wars; the rise of the Taliban and global terrorism. Bashir Sakhawarz’s writing captures the political and philosophic lyricism of the revered Afghan mystic poet, Rumi. It is the story of a society little known - passionate and bold, beautiful and erotic, courageous and daring, richly human and deeply tragic.
AUTHOR BIO: Bashir Sakhawarz is an award-winning poet, a novel and short story writer. He has lived in Europe, Asia, Africa and Central America and has worked for a number of international organizations such as the United Nations, the European Union, the Asian Development Bank, The International Red Cross and NGOS. His poetry collections include ‘The night Stories’, winner of the first prize from the Afghan Writer’s Association for poetry in 1978. His other poetry books in Persian ‘in loneliness cocoon’ and ‘Eastern Chlorophyll’ have been translated into many languages. He is an established writer and poet from Afghanistan and has published 7 books. Bashir Sakhawarz’s works have been translated into Polish, Italian, Swedish, Japanese and Arabic and he has read his works in many countries such as the USA, England, Sweden, Poland, India and Afghanistan. He has promoted international literature through the translation of ‘The Poetry and Short Stories of Afghan Writers’. Bashir Sakhawarz currently lives with his family in Geneva Switzerland.

01/28/2013 - Nerd Nite East Bay #4: Swarms, Roshambo and Tech for Good!
Posted: 28 Jan 2013 05:00 PM PST
2013 brings you even more Nerd Nite.
We kick off the year with a talk on collective behavior from Daniel Cohen of UC Berkeley/UCSF. Is it just me or are most swarms just creepy. Ants, bees, pirahnas? Ick. Geologist Andrew Pike shares how he is just as interested in scissors and paper as he is in rocks and Cal's Lina Nilsson tells us about about "cool science and tech work for 'global good.'"
And if you haven't yet been back to The New Parkway Theater since our last night before they were officially opened, you should really check it out. They've dusted out the last few cobwebs, they're showing programs on both screens and, most importantly, their kitchen is now up-and-running. You'll be able to buy a tasty burger or some pizza along with that pitcher of beer for our show.
Be there and be square!
Monday 1/28
Doors at 7 pm, show at 8
The New Parkway Theater, 474 24th St, Oakland
(less than half-a-mile from the 19th St BART)
$8
All ages
--------------------
THAT'LL DO, PIG: ADVENTURES IN COLLECTIVE BEHAVIOR FROM SHEEP TO CANCER by Daniel Cohen
Should the day come where our civilization is laid waste to by swarms of vengeful nanobots, killer bees, and ambulatory piranha, the secrets of the Swarm discussed in this talk, will give you a competitive advantage. On a less somber note, these same secrets happily pertain to everyday things like the herding of sheep, schooling of fish, swarming of ants, flocking of birds, and decisions taking place inside your body. 'Collective behavior', our theme, describes the surprising ability of large groups of simple critters to behave in very complicated ways. If all goes well, you will leave this talk with a nose for these phenomena in everyday life, possessing a secret of bird flocking, and having a better sense of how the trillions of cells inside you work together (most of the time).
Daniel Cohen is eyeing the finish line of a bioengineering PhD at UC Berkeley/UCSF. In addition to swarms and cells, his work touches on dinosaurs, medical devices, and medical devices for dinosaurs (awaiting testing).

GETTING THE UPPER HAND: HOW TO WIN AT ROCK, PAPER, SCISSORS by Andrew Pike
Child's play it's not! Rock Paper Scissors, or RPS as it's known among enthusiasts, has gained a cult following over the past decade. Fingersmiths from around the globe compete in local and international tournaments for a shot at thousands of dollars in prize money. Although each athlete comes equipped with all but three humble throws, only the best leave with blood on their hands. But is there truly a way to win at our beloved pastime? What is the strategy of champions? Join us as we delve into the complexity of this deceivingly simple game. We will examine common rookie mistakes and study the tightly-guarded secrets of the grandmasters. It's every bit as elegant as the World Series of Poker, but with more booze!
Dr. Andrew Pike holds a PhD in Geology from the University of Pennsylvania. During graduate school, he was a regular contestant in a competitive Rock Paper Scissors league held in various pubs throughout Philadelphia, where he was known as "The Rock Doctor". Currently a resident of Santa Cruz, he works as a hydrologist with the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Contrary to his name, he does not always throw Rock. Watch out!
--------------------
NERDS VS. THE WORLD’S MOST WICKED PROBLEMS: A GLOBAL TECHNOLOGY CHALLENGE by Lina Nilsson
Science and technology innovation is a central driver in social, health and economic development �" most of us probably wouldn’t want to be without things like clean tap water, cellphone towers, or �" particularly perhaps tomorrow morning �" aspirin. To name just a few. But most technology design and science research is crazy expensive and often more likely to work in San Francisco than Sudan. So the big question for this talk is, how do we create solutions that can actually be useful to the four billion people who live off of less than $2.50 per day?
Lina is the Innovation Director at the Blum Center for Developing Economies, at UC Berkeley. Previously, has spent time at the lab bench, and has worked at a fishery in Norway and on a vineyard in Germany, so she can purify proteins, gut salmon and remove weeds at alarming speeds should the need arise. Lina is a dreamer and an engineer; she believes in the power of science to make the world a better place.

With DJ Ion the Prize and your humble hosts Rebecca Cohen and Rick Karnesky.

01/29/2013 - Reggidency Part 3- Reggie Watts + Robert Glasper: The Rematch, with special guest Chris Dave
Posted: 29 Jan 2013 06:00 PM PST
SF Sketchfest Presents
Reggidency: A Reggie Watts Series - Part 3
Reggie Watts + Robert Glasper: The Rematch, with special guest Chris Dave
Reggie Watts, internationally renowned vocalist/ beatboxer/ musician/ comedian/ improvisor, amazes audiences with his unpredictable performances, which are created on-the-spot using only his formidable voice and looping pedals. Blending and blurring the lines between comedy and music with his unique lyrical style, LA Weekly calls Reggie â€the most wildly inventive new talent of the past five years.â€
Keyboardist Robert Glasper’s landmark 2012 album Black Radio (recently nominated for two Grammy Awards) boldly stakes out new musical territory and transcends any notion of genre, drawing from jazz, hip-hop, R+B and rock, but refusing to be pinned down by any one tag. TheLos Angeles Times once wrote that “it’s a short list of jazz pianists who have the wherewithal to drop a J Dilla reference into a Thelonious Monk cover, but not many jazz pianists are Robert Glasper.â€
Reggie and Robert reunite after a wildly successful debut collaboration at the 2012 SF Sketchfest, where they improvised an entire set of music and comedy with no preconceived notions or rehearsal. This time they’ll make it a trio, adding drummer Chris “Daddy†Dave, whom Questlove calls “probably the most dangerous drummer alive. He is totally reinventing just what you can do with drums.â€

01/31/2013 - You Know When the Men Are Gone
Posted: 31 Jan 2013 05:00 PM PST
Jan 31, Feb 6, 7, 13, 14, 20, 21 (Wed and Thur) 7-9 PM - Feb 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, 16, 22, 23 (Fri and Sat) 8-10 PM - Feb 3, 10, 17, 24 (Sun) 3-5 PM
Word for Word gives their signature theatrical treatment to You Know When the Men Are Gone, a world premiere production of stories by Sioban Fallon. It runs from 1/31 through 2/24 at Z Space.
Siobhan Fallon's stunning collection of interconnected stories was described by the LA Times as a "lovely and wrenching first book... gripping... compelling... extraordinary circumstances." It provides an intimate look at life on an American military base through the eyes of the families of soldiers deployed to Iraq. These stories ("The Last Stand" and "Gold Star"), show another side of war - how those left behind must carry on in their daily lives in hope and fear, as well as what it's like for the wounded soldiers "returning to normal." This play provides an opportunity to explore the struggles faced by veterans, and their relationships with their families and the non-veteran community, illuminating the commonalities we all share. The author has a first-hand knowledge of the military: Siobhan Fallon is the wife of a military officer who has served in the US Army, including a tour of duty in Iraq.
WORD FOR WORD'S production of "The Last Stand," directed by Joel Mullennix and "Gold Star," directed by Amy Kossow features actors Arwen Anderson*, Roselyn Hallett, Armando McClain, Marilet Martinez, Chad Deverman* and Ryan Tasker* (*member AEA). The production design team includes Drew Yerys (Lighting and Sound), Andrea Weber (Choreography), Delia MacDougall (Costumes and Props) and Jacquelyn Scott (Set Design).
A post-show talk on Thursday February 7 will feature Norberto Lara with the organization Wounded Warrior who will speak regarding his US Army experience, injury, recovery and re-entry into civilian family life.
On FEBRUARY 16 the play will be followed by an onstage conversation and reception with Sioban Fallon. Sioban Fallon's debut book You Know When the Men Are Gone will be available for purchase and she will be happy to sign them.
Presented by Z Space
