Anthology on Wed Sept 10th @ 8:30PM

Cinema Abattoir, the underground film screening series in Montreal, is sponsoring a night with Istvan Kantor, the mixed media performance artist, on Sunday, May 25. Kantor has been mixing industrial music with video art for over twenty years now. This particular performance will feature Kantor and his current band, Red Armband, playing in front of videos by Kantor’s “multiple identity” Monty Cantsin. Monty’s videos will include:
Lebensraum: Spectacle of Noise
Blood of Many Filmmakers
Deadly Gift
In addition to Kantor and Cantsin, Abattoir will be showing films from their latest DVD compilation, Incarnation, as well as other films by filmmakers on the disc. Their first DVD, L’Erotisme, was an amazing insta-classic, so this new one comes as a highly-anticipated item. The Incarnation videos screening are:
Flesh-Tone Genesis, dir. Usama Alshaibi
Pantelia, dir. Micki Pellerano
Pinhole Flames, dir. Amy Schwartz
Pandrogeny Manifesto, dirs. Aldo Lee and Dionysos Andronis
Oraison Theresienne, dir. Serge de Cotret
Burn, dirs. Reynold Reynolds and Patrick Jolley
Passage, dir. Karl Lemieux
Yellow Fever, dir. Frédérick Maheux

"This Is Only Temporary"
Curated by Edward Salem and Yevgeniya S. Baras
Opening Reception Saturday June 21, 6–9pm, Music 8:30-9pm
June 21 – June 28
1148 N. Milwaukee Ave. #2C
Chicago, IL 60622
The exhibition takes its lead from the core aspects of the
Palestinian-Israeli conflict, but strikes out into broader issues of
Arab/Jewish identity. The exhibition is in opposition to the
portentous watered-down art on the Middle East that is still
commonplace even 60 years after the establishment of Israel and the
subsequent repercussions. In a joint Arab-Jewish effort using a
variety of approaches, from the personal and spiritual to the overtly
political, we hope not only to raise new questions, but to answer some
old ones.
Artists participating include Wafaa Bilal (photography), Usama
Alshaibi (video), Marc Adelman (photography), Yevgeniya Baras
(painting), Carolyn Bernstein (sculpture), Eric Lebofsky (painting and
sculpture), Armita Raafat (site-specific installation), Edward Salem
(video), Jan Tichy (video), Laura Vitale (sound), and Raawan Al Khatib
(sound).
