Between 2015 and 2017, hundreds of strangers in communities all over the US were invited to read aloud and respond to letters from the 70s sent to the editor of Ms. Magazine–the first mainstream feminist magazine in the US. The intimate, provocative, and sometimes heartbreaking conversations that emerge from these spontaneous performances make us think critically about the past, present, and future of feminism. Newly urgent in the aftermath of the 2016 election, YOURS IN SISTERHOOD is a collective portrait of feminism now and forty years ago–a project about time travel, embodied listening, empathy, public discourse, and the lost art of letter writing. Irene Lusztig in person! Los Angeles premiere!

Tonight's evening welcomes filmmaker M.Woods on his US tour to present several works and share his process of how's experience with addiction has shaped him and his work. M. Woods is a American-Latinx media terrorist working in avant-garde film, video art, photography, collage, sound design, and performance. Woods' work chronicles the spread of the Numb Spiral, the results of a digital sickness that manifests itself in the codification and symbolic negation of being. His work is a fashioned attack against the institutional structures of white supremacy and the alpha male fantasy. The Numb Spiral is the point at which consciousness negates being, and a cruel illusion maintains control of the flailing senses. What begins as apathy, surreptitiously devolves into solipsism and nihilism, until the infected succumbs to the perception of total illusion. The Digital Sickness is the evil at the heart of mediated representation, and in tandem with spectacle and the negation of the simulacra, the Digital Sickness marches onwards towards the eradication of the real and the propagation of its double.

DOOR: $15 MONDAY, JULY 29, 2019 7/29 Brooklyn, New York: Microscope Gallery http://www.microscopegallery.com 7:30pm, 1329 Willoughby Ave SCRAPBOOK PERFORMANCES: BILL BRAND "PONG PING PONG" We welcome Bill Brand to Microscope for the New York debut of his 1971 performance and installation work “Pong Ping Pong”. The event is the fifth of ten performances taking place as part of our exhibition “Scrapbook (or, Why Can’t We Live Together)”. The approximately 25-minute “Pong Ping Pong” — which involves the projection of 16mm film of a ping-pong match from a rotating electric table onto a circle of 8 foot tall screens — breaks the linearity of the table sport and engages with three-dimensionality in a circular space. The turntable used in the performance was also used to shoot the film, with the camera shifting back and forth to follow the ball as Brand navigated around the players and match. Through the projection of the footage outwardly, from the center where the audience is also seated out to the circumference of screens, “the space is turned inside out”. The repetitive and dual nature of the game is referenced in the soundtrack, in which the artist recorded a series of words over and over again on a single reel-to-reel tape, creating a slow degradation. The artist’s voice bounces between the left and right channel and the distorting words and other sounds “accumulate to become a complex drone sound.” The idea to present film more sculpturally grew out of the artist’s interest in theater and his work at that time on set design for a play by Samuel Beckett. “Pong Ping Pong” was completed a few months before Brand began his collaboration with Paul Sharits on “Sound Strip / Film strip” (1971) and was first shown in the spring of 1971 at Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Ohio where he was a student. The work appeared a few weeks later at Western College in Oxford, Ohio. It has not been presented in full since.

TUESDAY, JULY 30, 2019 7/30 Brooklyn, NY United States: Light Industry http://www.lightindustry.org/ 7:00 PM, 155 Freeman St THREE PROJECTORS FOR THREE APPROACHES TO PSYCHOTHERAPY Jennifer Reeves has long experimented with the formal possibilities of cinema as a way to explore the psychiatric institutions and ideas that have shaped our contemporary understanding of the self, from her 1996 film Chronic, which probes the turbulent inner life of a punk teenager in and out of a mental hospital, to her 2004 feature The Time We Killed, centering on the reveries of an agoraphobic Manhattanite in the days following 9/11. At Light Industry she will debut a new multi-projector performance, Three Projectors for Three Approaches to Psychotherapy, which takes as its core material a 16mm print of the influential 1965 teaching film Three Approaches to Psychotherapy. “Throughout the 1950s and 1960s,” Reeves explains, “new and radically different theories of psychotherapy were simultaneously growing in prominence. Publications, conferences, and training programs detailed the conceptual basis and techniques of the different practices, but how did these groundbreaking theorists speak and interact with their patients in a real session? The feature-length Three Approaches to Psychotherapy was meant to demonstrate the answer to that question.” Produced by therapist Everett Shostrom (later author of the popular title Man the Manipulator), Three Approaches documents the treatment undertaken by Gloria Szymanski, a 31-year-old divorcee and single mother. She meets with Albert Ellis, founder of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy; Fritz Perls, pioneer of Gestalt therapy; and Carl Rogers, a progenitor of the humanistic, or person-centered, school. “Gloria,” Reeves continues, “a person who came of age well before the women’s liberation movement, consults each therapist in earnest and discovers herself in profoundly different conversations and dynamics with these men. An actual patient allowed herself to be filmed while engaged in therapy with three different doctors, distinguished by their divergent orientations but sharing their therapeutic endeavors.” Tickets - $8, available at door. Please note: seating is limited. First-come, first-served. Box office opens at 6:30pm. 7/30 New York, NY: Anthology Film Archives http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/ 7:30 PM, 32 Second Avenue JONAS MEKAS TRIBUTE SCREENINGS PART 2: PROGRAM 2 by Andy Warhol + Jonas MekasShare +Twitter.
