Bio-Poetics: Science, Language And Poetry With Marie Larson ( 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm )
Bio-Poetics: Science, Language and Poetry
with Marie Larson Saturday, November 15, 1-4pm
$30 / $25 members
 In this workshop we'll investigate the many ways scientific enquiry serves as raw material for writing poems. Looking towards biology, astronomy, chemistry and quantum physics this workshop will explore how the strange beauty of scientific knowledge, theory and language can feed the content and lyric of our poems. We'll also explore how scientific ideas can lend a language for discussing poetic structure. How is a poem a living organism? How is it a black hole? A membrane? Through writing exercises and looking at work by writers working from science, we'll widen and shift our poetic vocabularies and perception of the phenomena around us.
Marie Larson holds an MFA in poetry from Naropa University's Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics. Her work has appeared in GAM, DIAGRAM, Shampoo,Bombay Gin, and Fact-Simile. She also has work forthcoming in the anthologyChicken Boa: Notes on Skrilla (Mitzvah Chaps). Larson's review of Lila Zemborain'smauve sea-orchids appeared in issue 37 of Jacket Magazine. Her current project,Blight, looks to press against the taxonomical membrane of what it means to be human.

Andy Warhol's Soap Opera 1973-1975 (Vivian's Girls; Phoney; Fight) ( 2:00 pm - 8:00 pm )
November 21, 2pm-8pm, $4
Woodland Pattern Experimental Film/Video Series
Presented by the UWM Department of Film
Andy Warhol's Soap Opera 1973-1975 (Vivian's Girls; Phoney; Fight)
 |
| Andy Warhol's Soap Opera 1973-1975 |
Andy Warhol's Soap Opera 1973-1975 is the final program in a season of rarely screened video work from Andy Warhol and his Factory cohorts, curated by Thomas Schur and Carl Bogner. The videos are available thanks to the generous permission of the Andy Warhol Museum (with great thanks to Greg Pierce and Geralyn Huxley.) The series Andy Warhol Video & TV is presented by the Milwaukee LGBT Film/Video Festival and the Milwaukee Art Museum and made possible thanks to the Greater Milwaukee Foundation's Johnson & Pabst LGBT Humanity Fund.
Woodland Pattern's gallery space will be converted into a couch potato's haven for this marathon (5 or so hours) of acting out—and some kind of fun—via the platform of the domestic melodrama, featuring many Factory stars in fine form, especially Candy Darling, and in the incredible psychodrama exercise/verbal sparring match Fight, Charles Rydell and Brigid Berlin. Truly the flows of energy in the latter sessions are to be experienced to be believed as Rydell and Berlin impressively invest themselves (attack, modulate, repeat) into this duel for the camera, Rydell, a deliciously unstoppable torrent of complaint and invective; Berlin evasive, vulnerable, giving as good as she gets.
Spend the afternoon! Partake in parts! Snacks, comfortable seating, entertainment to be provided.
To screen: Vivian's Girls (Edit #2) (30min., 1973); Phoney (Edit #2) (49min.,1973); Fight Test #1 (33min., August 15, 1975); Fight Test #2 (30min., August 23, 1975) Fight Test #3 (33min., August 28, 1975); Fight Test #4, Tape #1 (30min., August 29, 1975); Fight Test #4, Tape # 2 (30min., August 29, 1975); Fight Test #5, Tape #1 (33min., December 2, 1975); Fight Test #5, Tape #2 (33min., December 2, 1975)
The UWM Film Department presents the Woodland Pattern Experimental Film/Video series once a month in the gallery space of Woodland Pattern Book Center. The series presents film and video screenings, presentations by visiting artists, and varieties of media performance.

The Gold Watch Trio: Featuring Glenn Kotche - Drums, Jason Roebke - Double Bass, John Corbett - Guitar ( 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm )
The Gold Watch Trio Sunday, November 29, 2009, 7pm
Featuring Glenn Kotche - drums, Jason Roebke - double bass
John Corbett - guitar
Glenn Kotche's virtuosity as a percussionist has been heralded by The Chicago Tribune for his "unfailing taste, technique and discipline." His eclectic performances and original compositions have explored the creative use of rhythm and space through various percussion projects the past 20 years. His various stints with groups and ensembles have resulted in participation on over 80 albums to date, including three recorded solo works: Introducing, Next, and Mobile (the last released on Nonesuch Records). In 2007, the Kronos Quartet premiered Kotche's Anomaly, a 25 minute, 7 movement piece at the San Francisco Jazz Festival. In the midst of composing for his solo efforts, Kotche joined the rock band, Wilco in 2001. Since joining as drummer/percussionist, Wilco's accomplishments include "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot", "A Ghost Is Born", the live double record "Kicking Television", and most recently "Wilco (the album)." He also records and performs as one half of experimental jazz duo On Fillmore and as one third of the trio Loose Fur with Jim O'Rourke and Jeff Tweedy.
Glenn Kotche |
John Corbett |
Jason Roebke |
John Corbett's unique voice as an improvising guitarist and turntablist is often eclipsed by his more high profile endeavors as a concert and radio producer, visual arts curator, author and music critic, director of Atavistic Records' Unheard Music series, and co-owner of the gallery Corbett vs. Dempsey in Chicago. As an acoustic guitarist he has performed and recorded with Mats Gustafsson, Terri Kapsalis, Torsten Mueller, Fred Lonberg-Holm, Guillermo Gregorio and many others. He has release several discs of studio-based compositions in collaboration with David Grubbs, Hamid Drake, Lou Mallozzi, Mats Gustafsson, Davey Williams, and others. He has performed in concert with members of the Nihilist Spasm Band, Alan Licht, Thurston Moore, and Michael Snow. He most recently has contributed the musical soundscape to a collaborative theater piece with Terri Kapsalis and Danny, presenting a live version of Terri Kapsalis' book The Hysterical Alphabet.
The diversity of Jason Roebke's musical associations make him one of the most sought after bassists in Chicago. He leads the electro-acoustic ensemble tigersmilk (with Rob Mazurek and Dylan van der Schyff), co-leads the modular music and dance unit Art Union Humanscape (with Ayako Kato, Tim Barnes, Michiyo Yagi), and the brutal post-drone trio overova (with Fred Lonberg-Holm, Jason Adasiewicz). Roebke is also a member of various jazz bands including the Jeb Bishop Trio, Fred Lonberg-Holm's Valentine Trio, Klang, the Keefe Jackson Quartet, Mike Reed's People, Places, and Things, Jorrit Dijkstra's Flatlands Collective, and Jason Adasiewicz's Rolldow.
As a musician, Glenn Kotche is devoted to playing exactly what the song needs—whether the rhythm is extremely complicated or supremely simple. And he'll do so using only one or two pieces of his drumset, or a vast array of percussive devices, at times providing a mind-blowing spectrum of sonic colors and textures." (Jim DeRogatis, Modern Drummer, 2005)
"Roebke often provides tiny gestures of rhythmic intrigue, bowing brief harmonics, sometimes in an altogether different register, filling the sound almost to a quiet breaking point." (Dusted, March 2009)
 This concert is brought to you by the Alternating Currents Live series, broadcast on WMSE (91.7) FM, Milwaukee. |
