But now the WMF is on the move. Almost randomly, the WMF week in New York was triggered through the immediate and broad presence of the WMF Club Berlin during the exhibition "Children of Berlin" in P.S.1 the Contemporary Art Center. The exhibition brings young Berlin art and culture to the big apple and with it comes Berlin nightlife. On the invitation of the exhibition curators, the WMF Club will introduce itself with resident DJs Highfish & Diringer and Manuela Krause running the show at the opening party after the Vernissage on Sunday, the 7th of November, in the "Windows to the World" bar in the upper part of the World Trade Center: Electro House and German Electronica in one of the most famous sky scrapers in the world! No problem, because Highfish & Diringer already arrived with Cookies Bar to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the "Fall of the Wall". Cookies has been going strong for a long time in Berlin and will give its own special service performance on Tuesday, the 10th of November at P.S.1 with the complete Berlin team including DJs Highfish & Diringer, Ben E. Clock, bartenders, doormen, and imported frequent guests! The unique atmosphere and famous Cookies Cocktails make it one of the best Bars in Berlin -- exclusivly presented in New York this night. Wednesday, the 10th of November, Highfish & Diringer along with Manuela Krause are to be heard in Gavin Brown's tres chic and petit Bar "Passerby" which is famous for its modernist floor (!). No dancing allowed, but a fabulous view with even more amazing music will make it a beautiful night! And the party continues on Thursday the 11th, with the start of Carnival and yet another WMF Party! - This time at the "Good World" in China Town. Here the WMF-residents are on the right side of power, as guests of the Soundlab DJs known as the creators of the "Illbient" Style (Spookey!) - an extraordinary New York-Berlin-Coop in electronic music that just might steal the show. The rest of the days could allow some spare time to see the city in the light of day and rest a bit. If not, why should New York be so different from Berlin? soundfilez, photos, adresses, updates and urls at http://www.wmf-club.de -> please reply to info@wmf-club.de -> if you want to be on the guest list! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Adresses/location/Lineup: Son. 7th November 1999 PS1 - Opening Party Windows on the World One World Trade Center (107th Floor) NY, NY 10048 Doors Open: 21:30h Line-Up: Highfish & Diringer (WMF/Cookies, Berlin) Manuela Krause (WMF, Berlin) Tue. 9th November 1999 PS1 - Cookie´s Bar Project "10th Anniversary of the Fall of the Wall" Contemporary Art Center 22-25 Jackson Ave 46th Ave Long Island City, NY 11101 Doors Open: 22:00h Line-Up: Highfish & Diringer (WMF/Cookies, Berlin) Ben E.

Thundergulch @ Rockefeller Center Extended through the month of November "Arts Interlude" Video Wall Program @ 1251 Avenue of the Americas Mondays and Wednesdays: 12 - 2 pm (between 49th-50th Streets, east Concourse) Thundergulch was approached by Ark Restaurants Corporation (owners of Lutece, the Bryant Park Grill, and scores of other first-class establishments nationwide) to curate a program of artists' videos and animations for a new restaurant called Z-DIM that will open in Southfield, Michigan later this fall. (www.arkrestaurants.com) In order to celebrate this arts/business partnership and to showcase some of the artists' work in the New York area, Thundergulch has selected a sampling of the full program to showcase as a "sneak preview" to the opening of the restaurant. The following is a list of the videos/animations included in the presentation: Kenn Beckman/Blue Gene Tyranny <italic>The Song of the Street of the Singing Chicken</italic> 1981 5:17 A lively mix of Beckman's video artistry and original "chickenesque" music by Tyranny, referred to as "a comedy for eggheads." (distributed by the Kitchen) Skip Blumberg <italic>Chinese Noodle Making:Backwards and Forwards</italic> 1989 4:00 In this playful cooking video, Chinese chef David Yang demonstrates the ancient art of noodle-making. Beginning at the end of the story, Blumberg first presents the process of noodle-making backwards -- a cleaver jumps into the chef's hand; strands of noodles swing wildly in the air. When the noodles finally revert back to a ball of dough, Blumberg switches gears to show the process in forward motion, ending as he began -- with the finished noodles. As the credits roll, artist Paul Wong's family eats the final product. <italic>Flying Morning Glory (on fire)</italic> 1985 4:00 Blumberg calls this video a "zany, hot performance cooking video," in which he ignites the screen with the wildly unexpected, flaming "cuisine art" performance of a virtuoso sidewalk chef in Phitsanulok, Thailand. <italic>Get Wet: The Synchro Swim Scratch Video</italic> 1988 5:00 This playful video focuses on a local synchronized swim team in performance. The artist's use of underwater camera, slow motion and close-ups gives the viewer an unusual perspective from which to watch the amateurs' routines, while the subtle application of special effects allows him to choreograph new moves for the swimmers. Anney Bonney <italic>Hypnosis Tape </italic> 1995 2:09 "not a Hypnosis of the mind...but a way to relax your body." Lesson one from the Long Island school of seduction. <italic>Moon Charms</italic> 1997 5:24 Rio Cine asked the artist to create a new work for them. She thought of Rio's Jewel-like beauty, its hypnotic rhythms, and made Moon Charms as a sound-as-image/ science-as-magic mandala. All the source imagery is water, with undertow music mix by Ben Neill and DJ Spooky. <italic>Pluto's Grace</italic> 1997 4:36 A non-narrative parable of New York's underworld (mythic and sociological) with local time lapsing, visual inversions and cinematic sampling from State of Grace. Racquel Coelho <italic>In a Box</italic> 1996 2:20 This stop-motion animation tells the abstract story of a puppet that falls into an empty cardboard box followed by some interesting objects...The puppet finds out the sound that can be produced by each object, as he uses them to assemble his own exquisite percussion set. This animation is conceived as a piece of "visual contemporary music," where the film is the score for the musical composition. <italic>The Tapir</italic> 1996 3:54 This 3D computer animation features a myth from the Tupari Tribe in Brazil, and explains the origin of the "Amazons" -- the mythical tribe of warrior women that are supposedly living and hiding in the Amazon Forest. Kristine Diekman <italic>Go To Sleep You Little Horses</italic> 1992 1:50 This video explores the tradition in America of romanticizing the American West in popular culture, iconography, and advertising. With images of the American West and the sound of a lullaby, the tape uses what is familiar to evoke a sense of recognition. The lonely cowboy hero and the wild mustang are ironically paired with a well-known Appalachian folk song -- <italic>All The Pretty Little Horses</italic> -- to elicit a sense of longing and disappearance. Underscoring the lullaby, which is sung in a clear acappella voice, is an ominous low rumble of other music which turns out to be a commercial theme song. The black and white images are nostalgic, reminiscent, and familiar, and in fact prove to be appropriated from early Marlboro Man commercials. (distributed by the Kitchen) Richard Foreman <italic>Top of the Pop</italic> 1986 3:30 This satirical music video, performed by Jessica Harper, looks at the disposable pop culture phenomenon through disposable record executives, performers, and purchasers. (distributed by the Kitchen) Neil Goldberg <italic>Hallelujah Anyway # 2</italic> 1996 2:00 A ballet of NYC merchants opening their shop gates as the day begins. <italic>Hallelujah Anyway #3</italic> 1996 3:00 With a music box playing in the foreground of various Manhattan locations, Goldberg introduces an element of lyricism into the normal cacophony of New York City. Eleanor Goldsmith <italic>Sonic Drift</italic> 1998 1:00 Soundwaves create a landscape where random voices drift across an oscillating plain. Pat Hearn <italic>Grace Jones</italic> 1980 3:54 This videotape features manipulated images of Grace Jones from her music video, "Warm Leatherette." (distributed by the Kitchen) Jeff Koone <italic>Phi_Brite</italic> 1997 2:30 Shot completely off a Lite-Brite, colorful, abstract shapes move to a funky drumbeat you can dance to. Joan Logue <italic>30 Second Spots</italic> 1982 8:00 Co-produced by The Kitchen, 30 Second Spots: TV Commercials for Artists features brief portraits of the following artists: Maryanne Amacher, Laurie Anderson, Robert Ashley, David Behrman, John Cage, Lucinda Childs, Douglas Ewart, Simone Forti, Jon Gibson, Philip Glass, Spalding Gray, Joan Jonas, Bill T. Jones & Arnie Zane, George Lewis, Alvin Lucier, Meredith Monk, Max Neuhaus, Nam June Paik, Charlemagne Palestine, Liz Phillips, Tony Ramos, Steve Reich, Charles Santos, Richard Teitelbaum, Yoshi Wada. <italic>Portraits on Dance</italic> 1998 7:00 Understanding the diverse cultures of NYC through traditional dance. John Lurie <italic>Big Heart</italic> 1986 6:09 A music video produced for the Lounge Lizards' album of the same title, <italic>Big Heart </italic>was shot in Italy and the island of Sardinia. Lurie chose the informal Super-8 format because he believed that it would better capture the beauty of Sardinia and the personalities of his band members. (distributed by the Kitchen) Muriel Magenta <italic>Token City</italic> 1997 4:00 The subway becomes the location for a 3D animation transforming the everyday commute into an experience of images and sounds which merge reality with the extraordinary. Viewers become an integral part of the action and emotions of an unpredictable subway excursion via the manipulation of 3D animation, computer graphics, real time video, and a mixed soundtrack of electronic music and digital sound effects. Laura Margulies <italic>Hepa</italic> 1998 6:30 Using a combination of oil painted animation and black and white film footage, "Hepa!" explores the world of Afro-Brazilian dance with a new perspective. The rhythms of one charismatic drummer propel forward both the dancers in the film and the film itself. Moving from the martial art of Capoeira to festive samba dancing to the spiritual Orisha dances of the Candomble religion and then to the high energy rhythms of African dance as done in New York City's dance studios, "Hepa!" invites the viewer into a compelling world of dance and music. Painted frame by frame using oil paints on glass, "Hepa!"'s color and texture add a vital dimension to the already dynamic dancing. Anna Minkkinen <italic>In Between</italic> 1998 2:30 A man catches a fleeting glance at a world hidden between the lines of a bar-code. This simple, hand drawn animation is a visual exploration of the codes and patterns of modern identity. John Moynihan <italic>Vampires</italic> 1993/98 1:38 A short exercise in modern urban horror that grafts the design elements of Japanese anime onto a New York influenced hybrid. Employing multiple exposures to create a film noir environment of stark shadows and bands of light, the film considers the impact of "the undead" on a multi-cultural feeding ground. Needless to say, it goes terribly, ghastly wrong. The Residents <italic>Act of Being Polite</italic> 1980 1:02 Illustrates the anxiety and the irony over the dating scene with the help of animation. <italic>Don't Be Cruel</italic> 1992 2:19 A new version of Elvis' classic. <italic>This Is A Man's World </italic> 1992 3:28 A different version of the well-known James Brown tune. (distributed by the Kitchen) Zbigniew Rybczynski <italic>The Day Before</italic> 1981 1:40 A farcical look at drinking in space, soviet style <italic>The Discreet Charm of Diplomacy</italic> 1983 2:28 Portrays pompous diplomats feasting at a surrealistic banquet.
