wow!! phill -----Original Message----- From: Katherine Liberovskaya <katlib7(a)gmail.com> To: Katherine Liberovskaya <liberovskaya(a)compuserve.com> Sent: Sun, Sep 22, 2013 8:04 am Subject: September 28-30 - Films To Look At: A Tour Of Phill Niblock’s Film Work @ Anthology ANTHOLOGY FILM ARCHIVES http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org 32 SECOND AVENUE NEW YORK, NY 10003 (212) 505-5181 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE FILMS TO LOOK AT: A TOUR OF PHILL NIBLOCK’S FILM WORK September 28-30 An 80th birthday tribute curated by Katherine Liberovskaya. It is mindboggling that a man with the tireless energy and ceaseless touring schedule of Phill Niblock is about to turn 80. An internationally recognized artist with a wide body of music, film, photography, video, and computer works, Niblock has specialized in making intermedia performance since the mid-1960s. As a composer, he creates thick clouds of drones that are filled with surprisingly active microtones and timbres that generate many other tones in the performance space. During concerts of his music, Niblock simultaneously presents films/videos focused on the movement of people working, or computer-driven black-and-white abstract images floating through time. While Niblock is best known today as a minimalist composer, he actually started his artistic practice with film (and photography) – in fact, his first compositions were created to accompany his films. Born in Indiana in 1933, he has been an artist/member of the vital Experimental Intermedia Foundation in New York since 1968, and its Director since 1985. Over the years he has produced more than 1,000 performances at the EI loft in Soho, acted as curator of the innovative XI Records label, and launched a second EI space in Ghent, Belgium. Recordings of his music are available on the XI, Moikai, Mode, and Touch labels, and DVDs containing his films and music have been released on the Extreme and Die Schachtel labels. This program provides a glimpse into the broad range of Niblock’s cinematic explorations, from rarely-presented early works to a selection of films from his well-known “Movement of People Working” series, which he usually shows at his concerts. For more information on Niblock please visit: www.phillniblock.com www.experimentalintermedia.org ============================================================ *Sat, Sept 28 at 7:00. PROGRAM 1: ENVIRONMENTS The ‘Environments’ were a series of non-verbal theater and museum installations/performances that Niblock produced at the turn of the 1960s. These were originally presented in various venues – Judson Church, NYC, the Everson Museum of Art in Syracuse, the Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art at Cornell University, and the Whitney Museum. Only the last three ‘Environments’ still exist in their complete versions. We will be screening them as they were originally presented, as three 16mm film images projected simultaneously side-by-side – the first time they’ve been shown this way since the 70s – and with early analog music by Niblock. - CROSS COUNTRY/ENVIRONMENT II (1970, ca. 60 min, 16mm) - 100 MILE RADIUS/ENVIRONMENT III (1971, ca. 60 min, 16mm) - TEN HUNDRED INCH RADII/ENVIRONMENT IV (1971, ca. 60 min, 16mm) Total running time: ca. 3 hours * Sun, Sept 29 at 1:00. PROGRAM 2: THE MOVEMENT OF PEOPLE WORKING, PART 1 The series of films ‘The Movement of People Working’ portrays human labor in its most elementary form. Shot by Niblock between 1973-91, on 16mm color film and later video, and in locations including Peru, Mexico, Hungary, Hong Kong, the Arctic, Brazil, Lesotho, Portugal, Sumatra, China, and Japan, the series comprises over 25 hours of footage (from which we’ll be showing a selection). It focuses on work as a choreography of movements and gestures, dignifying the mechanical yet natural repetition of laborers’ actions. - PERU AND MEXICO 1973/74, 96 min, 16mm-to-digital video - BAY JAMES 1976, 25 min, 16mm-to-digital video - ARCTIC 1977, 25 min, 16mm-to-digital video - BRASIL 1984, 90 min, 16mm-to-digital video ...Presented with music by Niblock from 1990 to 2013.

PROGRAM 3: THE MOVEMENT OF PEOPLE WORKING, PART 2 - CHINA 1987, 110 min, 16mm-to-digital video - JAPAN 1989, 120 min, 16mm-to-digital video ...Presented with music by Niblock from 1990 to 2013. Total running time: ca. 240 min. *Mon, Sept 30 at 7:15. PROGRAM 4: 70 FOR 70 (+ 1): SEVENTY (ONE) SIDES OF PHILL NIBLOCK by Katherine Liberovskaya 2004, 103 min, digital video - A dynamic portrait composed from fragments of seventy (+1) extremely close-up interventions on video about Niblock by seventy (+1) people connected to him in some way. These interventions, or monologues, were collected in honor of his 70th year (2003-2004) and the piece premiered the day of his 71st birthday, October 2, 2004, as an installation at Diapason Gallery for Sound and Intermedia, NYC. Seventy people among his numerous colleagues and friends were invited to say anything they wanted about Niblock within the constraints of a very tight shot of their face. The result is an intimate collage of meditations, reminiscences, anecdotes, stories, impressions, feelings…from seventy-one different angles: seventy (one) sides of Phill Niblock. - With Chris Anderson, Thomas Ankersmit, Jeff Bauer, David Behrman, Tara Bhattacharya, Maria Blondeel, Krystyna Borkowska, Jens Brand, Tom Buckner, Yu-Fei Chen, Steve Dalachinsky, Irina Danilova, Guy De Bièvre, Michael Delia, John Duncan, Jean Dupuy, Angie Eng, Dan Evans Farkas, Esther Ferrer, David First, Bernhard Gal, Dave Geary, Madeleine Gekiere, Malcolm Goldstein, Annie Gosfield, Matt Griffin, Shelley Hirsch, Andrea Hull, Tom Johnson, Seth Josel, Tomi Keranen, Roger Kleier, Hans W.

It is preceded by my comments. http://www.londonjazznews.com/2013/03/review-phill-niblock-at-80.html Retort comments from Niblock - this concert follows the formthat i have used since the late '60s. i am not a stage front "star".i use the film to be my performance visuals. i choose to work with thematerials i use so that i am not on stage. the film itself, shot in video in osaka japan in 2009 / 2010(not in the film series that i usually use from 1973 - 1991), was a premiershowing for england, here. two of the pieces of music will be on a new Touch double CD(out soon), the first piece - FeedCorn Ear, for cellist Arne Deforce, wasfinished and played in lyon in march 2012; the third piece - "TwoLips", played by the Coh Da guitar quartet, recorded in 2011 (a scored piecefor ensemble from 2007) will be on the same touch CDs. neither piece has beenplayed in england before. Sweet Potato has recorded tones by Carol Robinson,and was played live by David Ryan, and is on the re-released touch double CD -Touch Food as far as i know, Sweet Potato has not been played in londonbefore, and David Ryan was magnificent. http://www.londonjazznews.com/2013/03/review-phill-niblock-at-80.html 'Phill Niblock at 80' (Café Oto, 28February 2013. Drawing and review by Geoff Winston) This was, in manyways, a lost opportunity. There had been a fair amount of low-key hype about Phill Niblock's concert at Café Oto,as part of his 80th birthday celebration, coinciding with his retrospectiveexhibition in Lausanne, yet although he was 'in the house', it was just as ashadowy presence, lurking entirely unannounced at the back of the room - eitherat the mixing desk or by the bar. Given that it wasto be a rare sighting in the UK of an influential figure in the New York'sMinimalist firmament, it would have been fairer to his followers, and thosejust intrigued by the tantilising publicity, to have scheduled a pre-concertconversation with the composer/film-maker, and/or to devise a concert whichinvolved Niblock performing onstage, or at the very least to have introducedhim to the audience before the concert started or at its conclusion. Theclosest we'll get is Frederick Bernas's concise, well-paced short documentary about Niblock. The net resultwas a curiously impersonal non-encounter, leavened only by David Ryan's excellent interaction onbass clarinet - recalling Dolphy's significant impact on Reich on seeing himlive - during a section of the lengthy 'SweetPotato', a composition from Niblock's Xenakis Centre Paris residency in2001. Sampled tones from the instrument were the partial subject matter ofmulti-tracked, pre-prepared drones of fluidity verging perilously close to thesoporific in the packed, airless room, which played alongside the projection ofan excerpt from his 1988/89 film series, 'TheMovement of People Working', shot in small workshops in China and Japan. Against theintently observed takes of workshop process, primarily in a fish preparation factory(‘101 Things to do with a Dead Fish’?)and food and veneer production workshops, the dense, minimally accented fluxacted like a soundtrack. The audience, probably drawn by the musical promise,were unwittingly, or cynically, turned into a cinema audience, as the film wasthe only visual focus offered. As with Niblock's non-appearance, one didquestion the validity of constantly recycling his archive films to form thevisual element of a performance/installation; the challenge of creating a newvisual artefact with interactive components for this special event would havebeen much more satisfying. If the sonicproposition, compelling to a degree as it was, would have offered a morechallenging aspect, building on the kind of intense and expressive involvementthat Ryan demonstrated, then the concert might have taken on a mythicdimension. As it as, it was a bit of a damp squib, as evidenced by the tepidapplause at its termination. Earlier, in soloperformance, Thomas Ankersmit, afrequent collaborator of Niblock's, got to grips with a two-panel analoguesynthesiser in a flush of synthetic abstraction and imagism which evoked theblustering wind catching the sails out at sea and rhythmic aircraft choppers,with skids and deep drones evaporating in to flickering intrusions and elusivetinnitus-like whistles. The whole concertcould have been a more imaginatively connected and integrated event and, givenCafé Oto's superb track record, it was a shame that its promise was notfulfilled.

Nothin’ but Working Phill Niblock, a Retroeive From 30 January to 12 May 2013 Phill Niblock has produced, for over more than fiy years, a multidisciplinary work. His “Intermedia Art” features a combination of minimali music, conceptual art, ruural cinema, syematic or even political art, and rives to transform our perception and experience of time. Upon a proposal by Circuit, the photographs, films, inallations and all his recorded music are brought together for the fir time in a retroeive exhibition dedicated to Phill Niblock’s entire artiic endeavour. This exhibition by Mathieu Copeland is presented simultaneously at the Contemporary Art Center Circuit and at the Musée de l’Elysée in Lausanne. Admiedly one of the greate experimental composers of our time, Phill Niblock initiates his career as a photographer and film direor. Born in 1933 in Indianapolis, a jazz acionado, he seles in New York in 1958. Niblock arts photography in 1960, ecializing in portraits of jazz musicians such as Charles Mingus, Billy Strayhorn and Duke Ellington, whom he frequently follows to recording sessions and concerts. In the mid-60s, he shis from photography to film, and encouraged by Elaine Summers, choreo- grapher and founder of the Experimental Intermedia, he arts realising films for dancers and choreographers at the Judson Church Theatre, including Yvonne Rainer and Meredith Monk. From 1968 on, Niblock focuses on music and composes his fir pieces, which - according to the arti - should be liened to at loud volume in order to explore their overtones. Since the mid-60s, his analogue photographic work explores New York’s architeure and urban planning. The sequencing and layout of his images oer a mapping of the location and obje photographed, such as the abandoned buildings of Welfare Island (today Roosevelt Island) in 1966, the areas fallen into disuse in the South Bronx in 1979, or the facades of SoHo Broadway diri in 1988. Starting in 1966, Niblock engages in a refleion about the projeion of moving images through a series of films and slides- hows. Produced between 1966 and 1969, Six Films, a series of short films with sound realized with 16 mm film, heralds his experimental method through portraits of artis and musicians such as Sun Ra and Max Neuhaus. Starting in 1968, the arti begins experimenting a combination of his visual produions with his musical scores in order to create architeural and environmental compositions with sound. Recreated by the arti at the Musée de l’Elysée for the fir time since its la presentation in 1972, the Environments series extras through images the reality of dierent surroundings, all the while generating a dense and intense temporary environ- ment of projeed images, music and movements throughout the museum’s ace. From the series Buildings along SoHo Broadway, 1988 From the series Underground Gallery Exhibition, 1966 © Phill Niblock Exhibition curator An exhibition by Mathieu Copeland, upon a proposal by the Contemporary Art Center Circuit Coordinated for the Musée de l’Elysée by Lydia Dorner Exhibition at the Contemporary Art Center Circuit Presented for the fir time in its entirety, re-edited and remaered by the arti for the retroeive, the series of films The Movement of People Working portray human labour in its mo elementary form. Filmed on 16mm colour film, and later on video, in locations including Peru, Mexico, Hungary, Hong Kong, the Aric, Brazil, Lesotho, Portugal, Sumatra, China and Japan – with more than 25 hours of film footage, The Movement of People Working focuses on work as a choreography of movements and geures, dignifying the mechanical yet natural repetition of labourers’ aions. Phill Niblock says of these that The Movement of People Working «came out of necessity because I was doing music performances with live dancers, and it was too cumbersome and expensive to tour with so many people. So I arted doing those films that I could proje when performing». These films are accompanied by the whole corpus of Niblock’s slowly evolving, harmonically minimali music, realised between 1968 and 2011. The sound level of these compositions oers a visceral experience of the long drones and inhabits the ringing, beating overtones. These scores, presented in the exhibition as photoats realized for his personal exhibition at London’s ICA in 1982, are the composer’s mixing inruions and are not used by the musician during the performance. While moving through ace, he plays with the recorded material, sometimes creating tonalities that coincide with the recording or, on the contrary, that produce dissonances. The result is a conant movement of beat, rhythm and pulsation, as well as changing and continuous harmo- nics during his own motion through ace. The layering of tones echoes the repetitions of the workers’ aions; the evolution of the films on each screen (changing throughout the day), combined with a program that randomly plays back dierent music pieces, results in a conant renewal of forms, continuously oering an exhibition of new juxtapositions of sound and image. The Movement of People Working oers a rong social and political comment, as highlighted by the title and represented by the closeness with the workers. In this, the series of film echoes the work of several filmmakers including Jean Luc Godard or Chris Marker who as from 1967 gave workers the cameras and informed them of cinematic techniques so that they could aually make their own films. In a fascinating turn of events, rather than doing fiional or pure documentary film, some workers formed the Groupes Medvekine and decided to film themselves working.
