Apoohcalypse Now
Artemio
Wednesday, December 10 to Tuesday, December 16
Screened during gallery hours: Noon-6pm, Tues-Sat
New Langton Arts presents three films/videos selected by artist Julio Cesar Morales. The second is Apoohcalypse Now (2002; 8:26 min.)
Apoohcalypse Now takes Marlon Brando's infamous monologue from Francis Ford Coppola's 1979 film and interprets it through the children's character Winnie the Pooh. The movie conflates two different approaches to aestheticizing popular narratives, creating a mixture of highly stylized visual terms that engage the politics of appropriation while questioning the aesthetics of war and escapism.

My friend and MIT graduate student, Nadya Peek gave me a tour of the super inspirational MIT Media Lab. This half mogwai, half ewok robot under construction is just one of the many tech "toys" one can see in development while cruising the hallowed inventive hallways. Unfortunately, the lab is closed to the public and tours are all given on a personal basis. Befriend a student and take a tour! This place is amazing. There's so much to see and it's refreshing to speak with some of next gen's super creatives. Thanks, Nadya for all. Good luck with your studies! You roXXorz!

The Collection, Maurice Broomfield
25 November 2008 – 10 January 2009
“Maurice Broomfield’s photography captures the real heart of what was a booming but harsh time for the UK. Finding inspiration and creativity in gritty surroundings of every day work is inspiring in itself.” – Sir Paul Smith
In November 2008, HOST gallery presents the first retrospective of the work of British photographer Maurice Broomfield. Maurice Broomfield’s photographs document three decades of post-war heavy industry and urban regeneration in Britain. Broomfield is recognised as one of the first industrial and architectural photographers to use his corporate commissions to make visionary photographic studies of the workers and the environments in which they worked, his motivation stemming from a curiosity in the diversity of industrial occupations.

Visual communicator Peter Saville probably better expresses what he's thinking through his work than words.
Arkitip No. 0049 will be a virtual catalog of Peter’s work including essays from Saville’s colleagues throughout his career. It will also include two original prints from the designer. The prints will be 12 x 12 In. on 100 lb. archival stock and will sit on top of the magazine inside a custom designed box carefully encasing the magazine and prints.

There's no question, videogames have influenced my life. I fondly remember spending many hours with friends and family hovering over the Atari 2600, Atari 5200, and the Commodore 64 growing up. Many allowances and after school hours were spent at the arcade. I often took ideas from the computer to the real world -- completing virtual adventures, outside. I married a game developer over 10 years ago and we've since hosted hundreds of game nights together. We have nearly every major game console launched in the past 30 years gathering dust in our garage. I was once a games journalist. Our cat's name is Atari. Videogame royalties bought our home. We have been hosting an annual post E3 barbecue for the past six years. Some of our best buddies, like Richard (above) we met through the interactive entertainment industry. Without games I'd be without a lot.
Tell people about the National Videogame Archive and register to help save the videogame today. Please spread the word. Thanks!
