Terry Winters Is Knot Of This World
Maybe it's because I saw them the day after the election, but there's something hard-fought and heartening about Terry Winters's new paintings at Matthew Marks. Chunks of intense color tumble and collide across garish or sooty or muddy matrices. Like our times, they're fraught, complex, and scarr... ...

This week Bones, intrepid art-world raconteur, stops by Gagosian in the aftermath of some of the worst contemporary art auctions in recent memory. Has Richard Prince figured out which way the wind is blowing?... ...

SST To BKLYN: Joe Carducci Speaks!

Toni Morrison's A Mercy: Racism Creation Myth

Pulp Fictions: Sita Sings The Blues At MoMA

Interview: Harmony Korine On His New Collected Fanzines
"It was an insane time, we would stay up for days at a time and smoke George Burns cigars and listen to Henny Youngman standup routines and watch W.C. Fields movies and write jokes, homemade jokes, jokes with missing punchlines. Those were really good times."... ...

Letters 11.19.08
Sweet Lorain Re Tom Robbins's 'How Obama's Hopesters Took Ohio' [November 12–18]: I graduated from Lorain High School in 1973. The town has been decimated by economic downturn, short-sighted leadership, and a lack of investment direction. And the bridge is up since Jun... ...

The Transformation Of Mike Bloomberg
Mike Bloomberg is the best mayor—in fact, the best state or city chief executive—I've covered in 31 years at the Voice. He's also the worst. In his first term, he was able to close a gaping budget chasm without crippling city services by imposing the largest and bravest... ...

Teen Murder At Rikers Jail
The fatal beating last month of a teenager on Rikers Island has sparked new fury about how the huge jail complex is operated. The teen, Christopher Robinson, is believed to have bled to death over a period perhaps stretching to 12 hours, the Voice has learned. Investigators are pro... ...

Ask A Mexican: Don't Believe The Jimi Hendrix Mexican Hype
Dear Mexican: I recently received the biography of Rolling Stones bassist Ronnie Woods. While reading about his friendship with Jimi Hendrix, Ronnie described him as part black, Cherokee, and Mexican. I've always read about Jimi's grandmother being Cherokee, but this was the first I'd read abo... ...

The New Commander In Chief Can Take On The CIA
November 4 was indeed a transformative breakthrough for many black Americans, including the very young, for whom citizenship may now have a deeper meaning. Also joining the elation are many white Americans, maybe especially the surviving participants of the civil rights movement of a half-century... ...

Veteran Choreographers Bebe Miller And Risa Jaroslow Write Mysteries In Motion
Bebe Miller has been making mysterious dances since the mid 1980s. Their beauty is soul-deep. It resides in dancers' bones, muscles, and sinews—sometimes blurry, sometimes startlingly clear. Her new Necessary Beauty probes memories—not just real memories, like those that taped ... ...

Oscar Nominee Swallowed After BJ!
I'll start with a hot serving of social consciousness, thanks to Pray the Devil Back to Hell, the riveting documentary about the Liberian women's uprising against their tyrannical warmonger president. (God, this is so not like me.) At a special screening, the crowd was buzzed and host G... ...

Make Obama's Inauguration A People's Celebration
Many of us got a little dopey after Barack Obama's big win on election night. People started talking to deceased friends and relatives who would have dug seeing this amazing thing that America had done. "Allan Pasternack, you won't believe what just happened . . . ," I heard myself saying, as tho... ...

Should I Be A Journalist Or A Fetish Model?
Dear Dan: I am a straight, cross-dressing male into bondage. That's NOT my problem. Recently, I began seeing a professional dominatrix for forced cross-dressing, among other things. She was great, but our last session ended abruptly when She told me that She wanted to start dildo-training me. ... ...

Thursday, November 13, 7:05 a.m.: The long-anticipated, unprecedented marriage between the lowbrow H&M and the upscale avant-garde Comme des Garçons has finallybeen consummated! The clothes are in the stores! You can buy them! Even though I have been looking forward to this day for ... ...

Faye Driscoll’s California Sideshow
Maybe it was a lengthy sojourn in her native California that prompted Faye Driscoll to re-examine her childhood and the environment in which she grew up, and then create 837 Venice Blvd. Although an announcement for the piece billed it as “a rigorous physical exploration in... ...

Clive Barnes, 1927–2008
I first met Clive Barnes (in print, that is) when a friend gave me a stack of issues of the British magazine Dance and Dancers from the early 1960s. I had only recently begun to write for The Village Voice, and I poured over them. When a major production opened in London,... ...

Film Forum Celebrates Carole Lombard
Mobilizing a heart-shaped face that might have been carved from alabaster were it not quite so elastic, oversized eyes that flicked from wide-open innocence to heavy-lidded allure, and a voice that, though velvety on command, more often gushed forth in a high, tinkling rush, Carole Lombard seemed... ...

Disney's Bolt Is A Starry Dog Story
With his blazing white coat and pig-pink ears, to say nothing of the zigzag of lightning cut into his flank, the eponymous canine lead of Disney's lively new animated movie Bolt looks a little bit real and a whole lot not. That's not a failure of craft: Goofy and sweet like his voicer, Joh... ...

Harvard Beats Yale 29-29 Wraps Up The Boomer Era
Pundits agree: The 2008 election has finally and forever rung down the curtain on America's longest-running psychodrama, namely the Boomerography, a/k/a the Sixties. The long, strange trip is finally over. Still, a few stories remain to be told or retold: This week brings an evocative and affecti... ...

Lake City Flooded With Twangy Tropes And Torpidity
Troy Garity has a rangy, lonesome-stranger body and pouchy eyes. He can boot a cigarette butt to the curb like a champ and fill a frame with the handsome, so-what lure of damaged goods; in a better world, and a better movie, he'd have the ladies sighing, the gentlemen nodding, and all parties cla... ...

Special's Sad Portrait Of Delusion, For The Jackass Set
That superhero triumphalism continues to dominate Hollywood is a peculiar trend in our pop-cultural history, but it makes the trickle down into character-driven, low-budget Sundance indies almost inevitable. In Special, a meek meter reader with fanboy proclivities (Michael Rappaport) enrol... ...

The Films Of Andrej Zdravic At Anthology
With physical nature as his muse, Andrej Zdravic doesn't capture beauty in the mundane but in the microcosmic; for more than three decades, the Slovenian-born film and sound artist has proved that hypnotic elemental poetry can literally be found under a rock (or underwater, over the clouds, et al... ...

Break out the laudanum: It's time for some totally 1880's retro, courtesy of period melodrama Henry May Long.

At Times Inspired, Otherwise Banal, Were The World Mine Takes On Shakespeare

The Betrayal (Nerakhoon) Offers A Phantasmagoria Of Wartime Indochina
Some 23 years in the making, Ellen Kuras's first film as a director is a portrait of Laotian refugee Thavisouk Phrasavath. The Betrayal (Nerakhoon) is also a haunting flashback to the lush green and fiery orange phantasmagoria of wartime Indochina. The son of a Laotian army officer... ...

Twilight Pares The Book Down To Essential, Unconsummated Love Story
Stephenie Meyer’s wildly popular novel, Twilight—the first in a four-book series about a 17-year-old girl who falls in love with the hunky vampire who sits next to her in biology class—bored me silly, but that’s clearly a minority opinion. In the novel, Bella and her cold-... ...

I Can’t Think Straight Is Mildly Spicy Fluff
Fall asleep flipping channels between Oxygen, Here!, and Lifetime, and you’re likely to find Shamim Sarif’s slickly innocuous lesbian romance now showing on your eyelids. (“Slick” isn’t the half of it—every image seems to have been Scotchgarded.) On neutral ground in... ...
