Installation shots of “The Venusians” at Come Again in Berlin, pt. 2

The Venusians 9 Sept—22 Oct 2022

Artists: Jesse Bransford, Elijah Burgher, Oliver Coran, Keturah Cummings, Frank Haines, Sholem Krishtalka, Anwar Mahdi, David Anaya Maya, Genesis Breyer P-Orridge, Annie Sprinkle & Beth Stephens, Ryan M. Pfeiffer + Rebecca Walz, Timothy Wyllie

Organized by Berlin-based artists Elijah Burgher and carrick bell, The Venusians is presented by New Discretions, New York + Sean Horton (Presents), New York + Wester Exhibitions, Chicago.

Venus is thought by astrologers to influence those zones of human experience over which the planet’s namesake Goddess is sovereign: love, intimacy, attraction, beauty, pleasure, luxury and the good life. Alchemically, Venus corresponds to copper, which was used for mirrors in the ancient world for its high reflectiveness when polished. Indeed, the goddess is frequently depicted at her toilette, gazing at her reflection while tending her appearance. A mixture of self-care and vanity are amongst her attributes, as well then. The roman goddess and her Greek counterpart, Aphrodite, are not the only goddesses of antiquity identified with the planet: Inanna, Ishtar, Astarte and other Queens of Heaven preceded them. The Sumerian goddess Inanna’s journey into the underworld was a mythic translation of a visible, celestial fact: periodically Venus goes retrograde and appears to be moving backwards in the sky. (Interestingly, Venus spins in an opposite direction to the other planets in our solar system, so it could be said she rotates in a retrograde manner.) Inanna’s descent is not only instructive in terms of the planet’s rich history of religious symbolism, but also implicates the negative valence of these goddesses’ principal attribute. Love is not only a matter of joy, romance and sex but also jealousy, infidelity, grief and even murderous rage.

In bringing together this sundry group of artists and dubbing them “Venusians,” we highlight certain threads that connect them and to which the goddess holds the reigns: sexuality, beauty and magick. Venusians, as we define them, draw out the electrical potentials of the sexual body. Elements of sex magick and other rituals, both self-invented and received, find the body unfurling as a tether between cosmic and terrestrial spheres, fellow humans, and non-human and natural participants. Some works represent these practices. Others actively function as elements of ongoing ritual, or are remnants of previously performed ritual acts. Beauty is paramount whether it is a matter of esoteric order, aesthetic expertise or reconceived through challenge or negation. In any case, those electrical potentials must be circulated through an object that conducts those energies to viewers, recasting them as candidates for seduction or religious conversion or taunting them as suspiciously disinterested anthropologists. Those are the stakes. Venusians seek connection that goes beyond mere discourse.

Noli me Tangere

Noli me Tangere: Selections from the Solve et Coagula series

This selection of collages, part of an ongoing project by Ryan M. Pfeiffer + Rebecca Walz under the title Solve et Coagula, derives from their ever-growing atlas of source material. As the title of this body of work suggests, the artists approach collage in terms of alchemy, a means of dissolving and coagulating images from Art History’s vast archive into new artworks—a synthesis of the elements from which they are built. 

In this series, Pfeiffer + Walz re-imagine Mary Magdalene and Christ’s narrative of loss and mourning by focusing on the desire that subtly pervades their story. Mary becomes an icon not only of ceremonial grief but empowered eroticism, her fleshly immanence contrasting with Christ’s transcendental nature. Individually, the collages cut together biblical scenes with fragments culled from Paleolithic sources to contemporary art. The ensuing tableaus are disjunct yet cinematic, unfolding into a resonant drama of longing, seduction, and intimacy—themes that are often abstracted or omitted entirely regarding the sourced iconography. One finds recurrent images of hands clasping one another, reaching across empty space to make contact, and leaving behind ghostly traces on walls they’ve touched. Fire and cut flowers collide with bloody flesh and crumbling landscapes. Bodies strike operatic poses, writhing in ecstasy or lying lifelessly, always suspended between anguish and elation for what the connection of touch threatens and promises.

Notions of touching and cutting inherent to the technique of collage are therefore reflected within the motifs of the series: one cuts out an admired painting of Mary, herself being cut off from touching Christ one last time; Anna Mendieta entombs herself into the sanguine earth and Apollo’s forbidden touch turns Daphne into a tree; Helen Frankenthaler caresses her canvas with fluid paint, a woman pleasures herself, and Forrest Bess cuts a hole into himself; doubting Thomas probes Christ’s cut, and Andre Breton touches a prehistoric cave drawing because he doubts its authenticity. The distinct treatment of these subjects coalesce under the resounding phrase noli me tangere.

Everything I Read in 2016

For the third year in a row, I logged every novel, short story collection, poetry compilation, graphic novel, and collected edition of monthly comics I read, excluding individual monthly comics (on which I continued to fall catastrophically behind) and anything I read (and reread, and reread again) for my day job. My only big change? A lot of these books were read on my iPad Mini. And a good number were for my gay book club (you can guess which ones). 

If you don’t yet keep track of your reading, you should start in 2017. It’s your best bet for hitting a reading goal, and for folks like me who read a ton, it’s a nice way to recall books that otherwise departed your memory.

For the tl;dr crowd, here are my Top 13 for the year, in the order in which I read them:

On Writing, Stephen King

Binti, Nnedi Okorafor

The Girls, Emma Cline

I Am a Hero Vol. 1 & Vol. 2, Kengo Hanazawa

Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe, Benjamin Alire Saenz

The Hero: Book Two, David Rubín

Night Sky With Exit Wounds, Ocean Vuong

Lincoln in the Bardo, George Saunders (I read an ARC)

A Choir of Ill Children, Tom Piccirilli

Habitat, Simon Roy

Prez Vol. 1, Mark Russell, Ben Caldwell, Domo Stanton

Bones of the Coast, edited by Shannon Campbell, Jeff Ellis, Kathleen Jacques

(New X-Men Omnibus was a re-read, or it would be up here.)

The rest is below the jump!

I don’t really feel like dumping on anything this year. I definitely got burnt out on comic anthologies, and I hated A Little Life, but the good outweighs the bad. Below is the full list, divided by month, followed by a few statistics and an evaluation of my 2016 reading goals as established last January. 

[A note on comics: I feel guilty that I’ve left off colorists and inkers, as they contribute so much to a book, but I defaulted to cover credits while logging my reading and don’t have most of these books on-hand to fix it now.]

January

The Amazing World of Gumball: Fairy Tale Trouble, Megan Brennan, Katy Farina, Jeremy Lawson

Adventure Time: Masked Mayhem, Kate Leth, Bridget Underwood, Drew Green, Vaughn Pinpin, Meredith McClaren

98 Graphic novels/collected editions of comics (up from 84 in 2015 and a measly 42 in 2014)

3 Books of poetry (triple the 2015 and 2014 counts!)

About 35 Books written or edited by female authors (up from 20 in 2015 and 16 in 2014; note that I’m only counting writers and editors, not artists, and I’m counting books, not unique authors)

Roughly 19 books by (known-to-be) non-white authors (down from 30 last year but up from 9 in 2014...but both this year and last were inflated by multiple entries from manga creators)

...and at least 16 books written or edited by queer and trans authors. 

So...any suggestions for 2017?

Logan to John Wick 2: Here are 2017's most anticipated Hollywood films

When talking about the most anticipated Hollywood movies of 2017, one has to start with Keanu Reeves-starrer John Wick: Chapter 2. The action-thriller directed by Chad Stahelski is a sequel to the 2014 runaway hit. Legendary hitman John Wick played by Reeves is forced out of retirement and sent on a mission to Rome. Well, after watching the trailer, all we can say is, it's good to see you again! The film releases on February 10.

Harrison Ford and Ryan Gosling-starrer sci-fi film Blade Runner 2049 is high on the anticipation list. While Ford reprises his role as Rick Deckard, the film also retains its original writer Hampton Fancher. This American neo-noir science-fiction film is set to hit the screens on October 6.

2017 is the year of sequel fatigue as far as Hollywood is concerned. From Star Wars Episode VIII that aims for a Christmas release to Johnny Depp reprising his role as Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean V and finally, The Fate of The Furious, Fresh installments of hit franchisees are bound to keep you entertained all through the year.

INDIA TODAY EXCLUSIVE: Passengers stars Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt on In Da Club

Huge Jackman is likely to set the screen on fire with his third and final solo superhero Wolverine act in Logan releasing on the 3rd of March. The film takes inspiration from Old Man Logan by Mark Miller and Steve McNiven which follows Logan (who is past his prime), undertake one final adventure in a post-apocalyptic future.

We also have Marvel Studios productions like Thor: Ragnarok, Guardians of the Galaxy 2 and Spider-Man: Homecoming all raking up the curiosity.

Director Danny Boyle's T2 (the sequel to Trainspotting) is a British black comedy crime drama releasing on January 27 and it sure looks promising. Coming 20 years after the 1996 original, the film has retained its entire original cast. Infact, Boyle wanted the cast to age naturally and hence waited all along to make a sequel. Based on the novel Porno, the wait sure seems totally worth it!

War films always make it to the list of the most eagerly awaited films and Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk is this year's favourite in that category. Based on the true event of Dunkirk evacuation during the second world war, the film recreates Operation Dynamo and is scheduled to release on the 21st of July.

Tom Hanks and Emma Watson join hands in the science-fiction thriller called The Circle. The film is based on Dave Eggers' 2013 best-selling novel of the same name. Since no big studios or financiers agreed to back the project initially, Tom Hanks decided to co-produce this film that hits screens on April 28.

If the trailer is anything to to go by, then M. Night Shyamalan's Split is a sure-shot winner this year. Split is a psychological horror thriller starring James McAvoy and Anya Taylor-Joy in the lead. Scheduled for a January 20 release this year, this film is bound to catch your attention with the protagonist having at least 23 personalities in a single body.

One movie to watch out for this year is definitely Jennifer Lawrence-starrer Red Sparrow. Directed by Francis Lawrence, the story revolves around a Russian spy who falls in love with a CIA officer and considers becoming a double agent. The film is likely to have a November 2017 release.

Last but not the least, Murder On The Orient Express with an ensemble cast including Penelope Cruz, Michelle Pfeiffer and Johnny Depp, to name a few, is one mystery film that you cannot afford to miss. Scheduled for a November 22 release, the film is based on the 1934 novel of the same name by Agatha Christie.

[localdstvinstaller]

From Tim Burton’s iconic Batman to the baseball-bat swinging Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad, DC Comics superheroes and their villainous counterparts have been lighting up the box office since the 50s. With the launch of the M-Net Movies DC Heroes pop-up channel for DStv Premium subscribers, which is also available to stream on DStv Now, we’ve ranked every live-action DC comic movie ever!*

30. Stamp Day for Superman (1954)

Superman takes time from fighting crime to promote war stamps, used to fund the fight against the Axis powers of World War II. So it’s not the worst movie on this list, but it’s not actually a movie either - just something designed to be shown in cinemas.

29. The Return of Swamp Thing (1989)

This movie had about as much budget as the Joker has sanity. With that in mind, it does a respectable job. But only with that in mind - otherwise, this is just an awful low-budget monstrosity.

28. Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987)

Everyone had lost interest in making another Superman. But they were contracted to make one, so we got a fourth movie starring the man of steel. Its most memorable moment is how bad the special effects of the finale are. Yikes.

27. Catwoman (2004)

The first Batman character to get their own movie (other than Bats), there was a lot of hope for Catwoman’s maiden outing. Alas, very little is right here. It opted to invent its own story for the character, but just made a mess of everything. Not even Halle Berry could save it.

26. Batman & Robin (1997)

This movie shouldn’t be ranked so low. It’s funny and has some entertaining villains. But you know what? The entire thing was motivated to sell action figures. Seriously. Even the director apologised for it.

25. Steel (1997)

Back in 1997 nobody wanted to make comic book movies, not unless it was Batman. Steel, already a B-list DC character, got a low-budget straight-to-video movie. It doesn’t help that Shaq, who plays Steel, is not as good at acting as he is at basketball…

24. Jonah Hex (2010)

If comic book movies teach us anything, it’s that actors should stick to the genre. It worked for Ryan Reynolds, Chris Evans and Ben Affleck. Ditto for Josh Brolin, who has portrayed three comic book characters. But even though he was a cool Jonah Hex, the movie not so much…

23. Green Lantern (2011)

Some comic characters are relatively simple and easy to put into a movie. Green Lantern is not, yet this movie wanted to make things even more confusing. Even Ryan Reynolds started making fun of it in his other films.

22. Superman and the Mole Men (1951)

It’s the 1950s, things are still in black and white, and Superman has the time to work out squabbles between frightened small-town people and underground creatures with big eyebrows. Most memorable as the first Superman movie and perhaps the first-ever true superhero movie.

21. Batman: The Movie (1966)

Back in its day, this was a big hit. But it’s really a case of “you had to be there”. Shot after the success of Season 1 of Adam West’s Batman, it’s a whole movie of WHAM! BANG! POW! and 60s pin-up girls gyrating with the dark knight to surf music. No, we’re not making any of this up.

20. Superman III (1983)

Superman III would have been forgotten today, were it not for three things: the Superman vs Superman fight, Richard Pryor’s non-stop jokes, and that scary android woman created by Lex Luthor’s supercomputer. Oh, and Superman dumping a frozen lake on a chemical fire. Ah, the 80s.

19. Supergirl (1984)

Superman’s cousin comes to Earth to retrieve a powerful artefact, while a wannabe witch uses it to amplify her powers. The result is a weird tale that stumbles and jumps through plot holes, but it’s still entertaining. Fun fact: Supergirl actress Helen Slater later played Superman’s biological mom in Smallville.

18. Suicide Squad (2016)

It is overstuffed, convoluted and had some nondescript bad guys that nobody can remember. Too much icing on too little cake. On the other hand, the main cast of characters are really cool and the soundtrack rocked, so it has a place in some fans’ hearts.

How to register for DStv Now.

17. Swamp Thing (1982)

It’s the DC movie you’ve never heard of - and the DC character you’ve never heard of. This quirky comedy would have been lost to time, were it not a campy cult masterpiece directed by Wes Craven long before he created Freddy Krueger.

16. Batman Returns (1992)

Tim Burton’s second Batman film is a little overproduced and lacks that raw shine of the original. But Michelle Pfeiffer is still the best Catwoman to appear in a movie and Danny DeVito is the perfect Penguin. Yet leave it to Christopher Walken to play a villain with no mask and no powers, yet still be the meanest thing in Gotham.

15. Batman Forever (1995)

Joel Schumacher’s first go at the Batman world is a clear hat-tip to the 60s era of the character. It was more fun and camp, and who doesn’t like George Clooney’s smirking Bruce Wayne, or Jim Carrey and Tommy Lee Jones as Riddler and Two-Face? But it was a little too much at times...

14. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

The hopes were really high for this film and it was never going to please everyone. Lex Luthor’s inane and complicated plan sucks a lot of wind from its sails. On the other hand, the Batman combat scene not only saves the movie but shows why Ben Affleck is great as the character.

13. Watchmen (2009)

There are very few graphic novels more revered and complex than this epic - and director Zack Snyder tries to fit every bit of it into his film. Yet even after cutting a major sub-plot, Watchmen is still a long and dense experience. It’s got its fans, but like the comic, is the antithesis of superheroes. That’s not for everyone.

12. Justice League (2017)

Justice League isn’t perfect and its biggest problem is an overly generic bad guy that nobody cares to remember. But the team works well together, the fight with Superman is epic, Jason Momoa was born to play Aquaman, and we definitely want to see more of The Flash.

11. Superman II (1980)

The sequel to the original Superman movie was mired with problems, from losing its director and design consultant to being filmed right on the heels of the first film. But it holds up well, not least because Terence Stamp’s General Zod gives us every reason to remember why we need superheroes.

10. Superman Returns (2006)

Lex Luthor proves why he is as dangerous as any villain with superpowers, while the darker tone helps create a Superman persona that fits better with the 21st Century.

9. The Dark Knight Rises (2012)

It gets a little tiring to hear how old and beaten Batman is and maybe Tom Hardy’s Bane does too good a job, overshadowing just about every other character in this movie. But as a conclusion to Christopher Nolan’s trilogy, this was a classy send-off for Gotham’s saviour.

8. Man of Steel (2013)

Not only do we finally, after many years, get a new Superman movie, but some inspired genius casts Michael Shannon as the evil General Zod. It’s been too long and we’re happy Krypton’s son is back!

7. Constantine (2005)

At the time it was not a hit. But the first movie adaptation of the Hellblazer comics has since gathered a big cult following. Today it can claim a lot of fans because it’s actually really good. Hey, Keanu, where’s our sequel?

6. Batman Begins (2005)

Since 1989’s Batman, there have been other superhero movies that made their mark on the genre. Then Christopher Nolan shows up, hires Christian Bale, Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman, and turns comic book movies into crime thrillers. Brilliant.

5. Wonder Woman (2017)

A slightly weak third act doesn’t hurt the appeal of the Amazonian superhero in her first major movie outing. Let’s face it - nobody is panicking anymore about what might happen to Superman. Wonder Woman can take care of things.  

4. Superman (1978)

There had been a few superhero movies before 1978’s Superman. But this set the stage: big effects, great hero, amazing soundtrack - and Gene Hackman deserves more credit for his mean Lex Luthor.

3. Batman (1989)

Tim Burton unleashes his quirky style in grand form, creating the superhero movie that still influences the genre today. Then there’s Jack Nicholson’s Joker, Michael Keaton’s dry wit and the original soundtrack by Prince. Enough said!

2. V for Vendetta (2005)

This dark tale of a near future under a totalitarian state is already a gritty and powerful movie. But Hugo Weaving as the antihero V just takes it to another level. On top of that, this is an experience with real purpose and a serious message underneath. Remember, remember, the fifth of November...

1. The Dark Knight (2008)

Why so serious? Heath Ledger’s Joker is just entirely in his own league. And not just him - everything in this movie fires on all cylinders. The greatest DC movie? No. This is the greatest comic book movie in history.

Mùa Thu Này Nên Xem Phim Gì?

Mùa thu hàng năm là thời điểm các rạp chiếu phim ngập tràn những bộ phim với chất lượng nghệ thuật cao được ngắm cho các cuộc đua giải thưởng như Cannes hoặc Oscar, và mùa thu 2017 chắc chắn không phải là ngoại lệ.

Bên cạnh những bộ phim được làm ra để thỏa mãn giới hàn lâm, vẫn có những phim hành động bom tấn, kinh dị công chiếu trong thời điểm này, điều này tạo ra sự đa dạng và khán giả có nhiều cơ hội để chọn lựa khi tới rạp chiếu bóng hơn các mùa khác trong năm. Mùa thu năm nay sẽ mang đến cho khán giả những bộ phim chuyển thể từ các tác phẩm văn học nổi tiếng, các phần phim của những vũ trụ điện ảnh và thậm chí là những bộ phim chính kịch, nhạc kịch. Dưới đây là danh sách các bộ phim mà chắc chắn khán giả không thể bỏ lỡ trong mùa thu năm nay:

IT (Chú Hề Ma Quái, công chiếu ngày 8 tháng 9)

Năm 2017 có vẻ như là năm của các nhà văn Stepphen King khi các tác phẩm của ông liên tiếp được chuyển thể và đưa lên màn ảnh rộng. Cũng giống như The Dark Tower (Tòa Tháp Bóng Đêm) IT được thai nghén và phát triển trong rất nhiều năm và trải qua nhiều sự thay đổi lớn (vị trí đạo diễn của bộ phim thay đổi từ Cary Fukunaga của Beasts of No Nation sang đạo diễn phim Mama – Andy Muschietti). IT sẽ là diễn biến nửa đầu của cuốn tiểu thuyết cùng tên, bộ phim sẽ tập trung vào thời thơ ấu của nhóm bạn rẻ - “The Loser Club”- cùng nhau phát hiện ra và bị đe dọa bởi thực thể ma quái tồn tại hàng nghìn năm đang sống lại ở thị trấn.

MOTHER! (Công chiếu ngày 15 tháng 9)

Đến thời điểm này có lẽ Mother là dự án phim im hơi lặng tiếng nhất dù chỉ còn chưa đầy 1 tháng nữa là tới ngày công chiếu. Bộ phim được đạo diễn và biên kịch bởi Darren Aronofsky vẫn chưa tung ra bất kỳ thông tiun nào về nội dung chính hoặc có một động thái quảng bá nào. Nứ diễn viên đạt giải Oscar 2014 Jenifer Lawrence và nam tài tử Javier Bardem sẽ là ngôi sao của bộ phim, vai diễn của họ sẽ là cặp vợ chồng/tình nhân bị làm phiền bởi sự xuất hiện của những người khách không mời (Ed Harris và Michelle Pfeiffer thủ vai), mọi diễn biến sau đó xảy ra theo chiều hướng xấu đi, rất nhanh.
