The new J

We look forward to history to draw the future.

I came to this basic confirmation while reading the last history of J. Hoberman, addiction, great cultural history, Everything now: the sixties of the last century in New York-reserved events, underground films, and radical pop. The title snake is a lot of chewing – and the book is presented. But while in the midst of, in the times of the exciting arts in the 1960s, I could only think about those first three words when this book receives us, about how it can be now.

Hopperman talent the sparkling analyzes of the various artistic infections in his books on the culture of midnight films, the 1960s with great greatness, or Milquetoast films in the eighties of the last century. The protagonist who is chasing the latest New York now is Jonas Mikas, a teacher of Huwairman, Dwin Al Kabir in the city’s experimental cinema, and a self -designed poet found beauty in what was rejected to others as unimaginable as porn (Jack Smith (Jack Smith Burning creaturesCelebrities in moving the navel (Yuko Ono films that are still not authorized), or a waste of place and time (Andy Waradles empire).

Makas also participated in the founding of the archives of the New York selections, where it will be presented. Hopperman, in June, a selection of short pants he is discussing Everything now. This book, in fact, an era, lined with films that have made repercussions updated in this period to its people: the Sherley Clark image of the black homosexual Jay Jayjon; Jacques Smith and Paul Morisi Mourdant, funny messengers of cheap sparkle b. Hollywood. Filming mekas and Robert Frank movies for their friends, as if the camera was ultimately a pencil. There were also “events”, vitality, light shows and light programs, music that surpassed the guitars in the underground velvet or Goldie and ginger, and concert pioneers who defeat where home films were dropped for hot people on dance bodies. The main thing here is proximity, disturbance in Manhattan from Hip-To-Hip, cafe to garbage, making life in the city championly synchronous. Mishmash in the 1960s, ideas of alternative future contracts flowed.

reading Everything now It is similar to facing the ice collapse that does not care whether you live (d) or die (d): the outrageous events in the diaspora in the city center are clarified one by one, similar to the popcorn series, with a few comments or judgment from the author. An uprising in Harlem coincides with a group of Harlem group Cold world (1963) by Sherley Clark and produced by Frederick Weizmann; A week later, Warhol and Mecas sit in a building all night Empire, The final American film: Eight hours of the State Empire Phalic building, which is shrouded in dark, then shines by Dawn.

In the city center, in 1968, Diane Arbos, covered in black leather, is floating from her 120-Street Street Street 10 Street for sitting in a garden with Linda Eastman, Mrs. Paul McCartney in the future, where they discuss F-Stops. In the five café, Harry Smith attracts the attention of Allen Ginsburg listening to the Thelonious Monk, where Smith blocked abundant notes about what was in front of him or behind the piano blocks in Monk. After becoming a friend of each other early in a night full of yearning, Smith Ginsburg quickly plays one of his films full of hieroglyphs, which forced Gensburg to persuade the King of Timothy Lerry, the film Elsabeth Taylor, and a supermarket to invest in Smith animation Oz processor. But the project collapses after the fourth and largest supporters, the Millionaire Son for Horse Breeders. C’est comme ça. The failed assassination in the year 68 of Sfingali Al -Mashhad, Uncle Andy, was a successful assassination from another Kennedy, and Hopperman states that “Ray Johnson saw the next morning News daily The main actress that shoots Andy Warhol, was leaked in the Point knife, left New York City for a return.

You will want to keep a notebook within reach to write down any of the countless cultural elements that you will want to discover or reconsider. Hopperman properly defines LP insight Yuko Ono/Ono Plastic Eno (1970) as “the culmination of the long ono and zig -cage zigzag to Loft Loft concerts through Fluxus Contorety to Stardom Councultural Stardom”, ono’s and John Lennon read Billboards War end! / If you want / happy birthday ” From John and Yoko “as” 60s “. Who wraps the famous harmony of 3 parts of the Beatles.

Elsewhere, the author re -looks at jazz/rocks by collecting critical Hosannas and flirting harassment in the late 1960s with R&b and more “commercial” 4/4 from Jazz Davis Jazz artists (In a silent way, the prostitute is fermentedAnd Albert Aleler (New herb). In particular, Hosparman finally listened to the last three albums of the very short life of Eller, and I found myself in a sudden agreement with music critic Robert Christago, who praised the revival of Ailler later from the “unconventional breaks that fill R&b” that were angry with Jazz Jazz, then and now. This debate does not matter Hopperman, whose taste and cultural taste on American culture are inspiring.

Above all, Hopperman explains the natural liquidity of art, movies, music, and writing, which all remain prohibited from each other to everyone’s harm. Nearly 50 years have passed since Manny Farber saw the great missing difference between drawing and criticism in pages Film Comment: “The brutal truth is that it is exactly the same.” He went on to cast the American “regional” criticism, which, in the eyes of Farber, “does not realize the intersection of art … as if there was a law in cinematic criticism that is not supposed to participate in other forms of art.” The current situation remains. But since his prominent group Violent modernity, Hopperman has shown that this disposal of getting rid of importance. Without cross -pollination, nothing will open.

With the last line of the book, Hopperman is painfully explained what he wrote: “Notes, if not for me.” The book plans Another eastern village and Voice of the village, Among the explosive plastic rings in Warhol and the legendary Jerry Shatzburg parties, in the hope that the youth will be released, one can escape the situation in the Cold War in the United States, from cold water apartments and films filled with the film before the parties full of the film are drawn. I, twenty -eight years old, did not test any of this, but the cinematic glory of Hoberman’s historical writing raises them convincingly so that he let me feel as if I had.
