The week of 30 Jan in Preview

If we stay at home all week, again, we will miss the 16mm daydreams of a young Mike Kuchar, who in his early twenties parted artistic ways from his more well known and recently late twin George, which promise more of the Sci-Fi, Hell-minded moonscapes that placed these irreverently reverential brothers on the map of New York's 1960s underground on Tues 31 Jan at 7pm in UWM's Union Theatre than the expressive confessionalism of his early work that will be showcased during his visit later this spring; and former Romanian Dictator Nicolai Ceausescu will be called on his bullshit, in his own words, in the past-tense, found-footage document of his life as a propaganda narrative in Andre Ujica's The Autobiography of Nicolai Ceausescu on Weds 1 Feb at 7pm in the UT.

The Week of 29 Jan in Review

If, like me, you stayed home all week we missed a rare screening on Fri night of selections from Pittsburgh, PA's Orgone Archive, which included such curiosities from world 16mm film of the 1950s & '60s, an early Polanski short among them; you also missed your last chance to see and the closing reception of Milwaukee Photographic Coalition's debut show, Boundaries of the Subjective, which despite its title featured specific work that explored memory, identity, neurosis, and, it's a Riverwest show after all, death.
