John Tedeschi in I LOVE MYSELF, December 5th @ 7PM @ Don't Tell Mama
343 w 46th st. (betw'n 8/9 aves.)

John has a very pleasing voice that is at its best when he belts such songs as Time Warp, and that is softer and expressive in such songs as I Wish it So.

Tedeschi's show is both energetic and campy, involving frequent changes of outlandish costumes (and) uncontrolled zaniness. The audience (was) extremely responsive and clearly having a good time. . . there is material here for an evening of fun and John is both ingratiating and outrageous.
--Barbara Leavy, Cabaret Scenes

Come in for the buffet. There is no buffet at Don't Tell Mama? There is when John is onstage.

Fred Frith @ Meridian 12-7-01

Meridian Music: Composers in Performance presents Fred Frith in a solo guitar concert!

Friday, December 7, 2001

ryokan@value.net http://www.meridiangallery.org $10
$ 5 students, seniors, impoverished artists.

We do not accept reservations. We have a small, intimate space for performances that often fills up but we have rarely turned had to turn anyone away. Please arrive early to assure that you have a seat.

Fred Frith composer, improviser and multi-instrumentalist, has situated himself for more than thirty years in the area where rock music and new music meet. Co-founder of the British underground band Henry Cow (1968-78), he moved to New York in the late seventies and came into contact with many of the musicians with whom he's since been associated, including, for example, John Zorn, Ikue Mori, Tom Cora, Zeena Parkins, and Bob Ostertag. Fourteen years in New York gave rise to groups like Massacre (with Bill Laswell and Fred Maher), Skeleton Crew (with Tom and Zeena), and Keep the Dog, a sextet performing an extensive repertoire of Frith's compositions.

In the eighties he began to write for dance, film, and theatre, and this in turn has led to his composing for Rova Sax Quartet, Ensemble Modern, Asko Ensemble, and a number of other groups, including his own critically acclaimed Guitar Quartet. Best known world-wide as an improvising guitarist, Frith has also performed in a variety of other contexts, playing bass in John Zorn's Naked City, violin in Lars Hollmer's Looping Home Orchestra, and guitar on recordings ranging from The Residents and RenÈ Lussier to Brian Eno and Amy Denio. Frith is the subject of Nicolas Humbert and Werner Penzels' award-winning documentary film Step Across the Border. He is currently Professor of Composition at Mills College in Oakland, California, where he lives with photographer Heike Liss and their children Finn and Lucia.

Don¼t Tell Mama presents

John Tedeschi
in
I LOVE
M Y
S E
L F

Directed by Andrew Gibbons, Jim Hanson, Bobby Kneeland

I LOVE MYSELF explores the crucial balance of taking ones false mask off to allow ones true self to emerge, as one removes the mask the true self is available to give and experience love. I LOVE MYSELF takes Narcissus by the hand, educates him and allows him to discover unconditional and unobjectified love. Through songs by Queen, Journey, Blitzstein, Lloyd Webber, The Rolling Stones, Aretha Franklin, vintage ditties and patter of life¼s adventures the audience and the performer learn the invaluable platitude of "You can¼t love another without loving yourself."

Wednesday, December 5th, 7:00pm
$10ãplus 2 drinks, phone 212.757.0788 for reservations
Don¼t Tell Mama, 343 West 46th Street (8th and 9th Aves.), NYC

John Tedeschi is rapidly establishing himself as a rising young talent after recent successes with Center Stage, Hartford Stage, Mint Theater and Centenary Playhouse. John has worked with Anne Bogart, Irene Lewis and Mark Lamos. Critically acclaimed productions include: King Lear, H.M.S. Pinafore and Trouble in Tahiti. Other recent performances include Carmine in VAMP, Your Waiter in Beyond the Apron, Che in Evita, the Dentist in Little Shop of Horrors, and the new musical Rubirosa as the title character. Mr. Tedeschi has appeared with the Baltimore Orioles singing the National Anthem as well as numerous concert and cabaret endeavors throughout America and Paris, France. John has appeared on the popular serials All My Children and As the World Turns, numerous commercials and several independent feature films. John had the pleasure of working with Lisa Heffter, Jeff Couchman and Damien Gray in the epic musical Blood and Fire. Mr. Tedeschi is a graduate of Boston University. Mr. Tedeschi marked his debut as playwright with the successful premiere of his one man play:Who are the People in Your Neighborhood?. "Who are the People in Your Neighborhood?" was recently produced by the Access Theater in New York City. Douglas DeVita of OOBR reviewed the show, "Focusing on the neighborhood of Hell's Kitchen, Tedeschi displayed chameleon-like ability with his various characterizations, and his performance of a homeless schizophrenic was downright chilling. . . ", Alex Barocas of The American Place Theatre found the play "inventive", "honest" and "entertaining".

01game+01application
artist's software by Torsten Lauschmann
Available for free download from http://www.mediascot.org

Torsten Lauschmann is interested in how our perceptions of media are influenced by shifting contexts, in this case he has looked again at the art of programming. Lauschmann's concerns around the twin strategies of deconstruction and dÈtournement are once more in evidence, but expressed through software. The artist has created two applications available to download as freeware. The first, 'Restart' from 1999, re-works the arcade classic Space Invaders with a novel twist. Torsten has created a new application, 'Diskompactor', specially for HOST. The software re-mixes any audio CD placed in your computer's CD-ROM drive. 'Diskompactor' was funded by Glasgow City Council and the Scottish Arts Council.

Blind Date

Two events celebrate the return visit by Croatian artists to Scotland, featuring talks and presentations by the artists and curators involved in the project. Copies of a beautiful full colour catalogue produced for the exhibitions will be available.

Roster of 86 Artists Promises Most Comprehensive Examination to Date of Present-Day Phenomenon.

BROOKLYN! provides the first systematic look at the art emerging from this new art world center, which was largely wrested by artists from the abandoned industrial buildings and neglected storefronts of a few working class neighborhoods.

This exhibition celebrates the moment that is Brooklyn now -- a place of vibrant synergy among artists, galleries, and neighborhoods--before this world is transformed yet again, as all `momentsí like this are,î says Michael Rush, director of the Palm Beach ICA, and a co-organizer of the exhibition with the New York-based curator and critic Dominique Nahas.

PBICA is located at 601 Lake Avenue in Lake Worth, Fla. For more information, contact:

Announcing the Launch of the Website for: "Re: Duchamp Traveling Exhibition"

La Biennale di Venezia: 49th International Exhibition of Art-- Concomitant Exhibitions

http://www.nyartsmagazine.com/duchamp

"The Re: Duchamp Travelling Exhibition is a project that has been evolving over time. It has traveled to various cities in Germany, Poland, Chile and Israel, as well as New York City. It is the ongoing work of Abraham Lubelski, and incorporates the work of over 250 other artists, including Nam June Paik, Dennis Oppenheim, Carl Andre, Ilya and Emilia Kabakov, Taylor Mead, Larry Weiner, David Humphrey, Inka Essenhigh....

The Re: Duchamp Travelling Exhibition at the 49th Venice Biennale* is an installation of clotheslines from which artwork is hung.** The idea for this installation is derived from Marcel Duchamp's infamous benefit exhibition organized on the Premises of the Coordinating Council of French Relief Societies, 451 Madison Avenue, New York, October 14th - November 7th, 1942, in which he criss-crossed the entire gallery with one mile of string. This entanglement, which the public had to negotiate when they came to view the art, stood as a metaphor for the difficulties encountered in attempting to understand modern art.

The current exhibition uses this Duchampian metaphor to point to connectivity as much as any difficulty that might hinder an appreciation of art in the digital age---art whose nature may be partially or completely ephemeral, time-based, or immaterial, and which might be conveyed digitally or housed virtually. Re: Duchamp celebrates the process of visual sampling in a world where the line between original and copy has been blurred, and the medium is the readymade.

** Participating artists were asked to e-mail their submissions as digital files. These were printed out, placed in plastic sleeves and brought to Venice for installation. Hung from criss-crossing lengths of string at the Church of S. Maria Ausiliatrice, they resemble so many Tibetan prayer flags, the wind and the Web conveying and disseminating their messages.

* At the 49th Venice Biennale, the Re: Duchamp Travelling Exhibition forms part of the Markers Project, which involves organizations in Venice including the Peggy Gugghenheim Collection, the Biennale Arti Visive, and the Municipality of Venice itself." [--notes, Joy Garnett]
