Jane St. Art Center ✹ 11 Jane St. Suite A.

Saugerties on-site performance video “The Speak to Me” will be complete and installed at Jane St. Art Center. This is a site-specific piece that talks about our consumption. Suprina will be shooting May 1-8 with Rock Wilk, an incredible filmmaker also living in Poughkeepsie. Suprina will start her travels at the Saugerties Library, then move to the 15 Minutes of Frame, the Lighthouse, Arm of the Sea, and possibly Opus 40 and other sites while wearing her plastic bag outfit. As she travels from one place to the next she comes upon different “objects”; that have been left behind, abandoned or castaway. These objects ’talk’ to her, they tell her their stories…. Who owned them, when they were purchased and why they were left behind. As each tells her their story, she picks them up and places them into her broken (also a discarded object) red wagon. After visiting all these location’s, Suprina walks into her Silent Stories forest art installation at Jane Street Art Center to ‘plant’ her new found objects. This finished video will be on view at Jane St. Art Center from June 1 to June 22.

Narrated by Ed Harris, the film features interviews with luminaries including Ed Ruscha, Billy Al Bengston, Frank Gehry, and more. It contains music by Laurie Anderson, the Kronos Quartet, Terry Allen, and others. It makes for a supergroup homage to this singular artist.

Join The Local for a new series with Barbès Brooklyn. Psychedelic cumbia band Chicha Libre’s Olivier Conan (also founder of Barbès Brooklyn) leads a new project Combo Daguerre, that performs original French tunes with a psychedelic edge and a mostly Latin crew. Its hybrid style is informed by boleros, cumbia, cha chas, 60's rock, French chanson and 1930s surrealism - and its music is filled with joy and darkness, deep grooves and dirges, nostalgia and futurism. Combo Daguerre could be seen as the francophone heir to Chicha Libre - and like its predecessor, the project owes much to New York city where cultural and linguistic borders are fluid and Pan-Latin influences can be found in every possible musical genre. Its songs deal with exile, misplaced nostalgia and a language adulterated by distance. Beer, wine, refreshments, snacks are available. ADA accessible. Doors open at 6 pm. Buy your tickets here.

World renowned astronomer Bob Berman, celebrated for his unique blend of humor, informality, and encyclopedic sky-knowledge, will explain how our local area can best see the amazing total solar eclipse coming up on April 8 as well as the three other most astonishing celestial events seen from our area including three intense meteor showers and so-called great comets, none of which require a telescope, astronomical charts or knowledge. Living far from any major metropolis, we enjoy skies that are a planetarium come-to-life! With no celestial knowledge, star charts or special equipment, we can each be swept away by the grandeur of the universe – if we simply know when and where to look. By a happy coincidence, this next year will bring a series of brilliant spectacles, which will be previewed and explored in the humorous, informal style that’s made Bob Berman one of the world’s top astronomers.

All the cool musicians are making tour movies, and Iron & Wine is no exception. Though the live show is drawn from a two night-stand at the historic Haw River Ballroom in Saxapahaw, North Carolina, the entirety of the film was shot over the course of three years. It seeks to clarify – or perhaps pay respect to – the alluring poetics of Iron & Wine’s frontman Sam Beam. Through interviews and casual, instinctive footage, Iron & Wine’s world becomes something we can experience wholly, just like Swifties and Beyoncé fans, through the magic of the movie screen.

What was at first received as a slapdash song and dance, the performances and script written by Neil Simon have endured the test of time and now prove an important keystone in musical history.

Lesbians, killers, and modern dance all weave through Lulu’s adventures on her way down the rabbit hole of depravity. Originally received as scornful and debaucherous, the film is now seen as a landmark of cinema.

Listen to this: For Lee “Scratch” Perry’s approval of this documentary, he requested that the filmmakers bring $5000 in a paper bag to a dinner with Perry’s ex-wives and children. This was all of course before his passing. Naturally, this should raise a few questions about the Grammy Award-winning Jamaican music star, and we cannot promise that this movie will answer any of them. However, we can surmise that eight days they spent interviewing the eccentric dub maverick was as electrifying as his style. Narrated by Benecio Del Toro, and made with a curious source of Argentinian trucking money, this movie is how Lee “Scratch” Perry sees Lee “Scratch” Perry. We wouldn’t want it any other way.

OK counterculture nerds, here is the lost, never-released feature film Dead Ringer. Made to promote rocker Meat Loaf’s follow-up to the highly successful 1977 release Bat Out of Hell, this film was talked about at length and with much excitement, but mysteriously evaporated into the rock ballad ether. People think it was filmed in 1982…two cuts do exist…it was mentioned in Meat Loaf’s 1999 autobiography, and talk of the film did surface online… but nothing more. Grab your tickets here!
