The “What is Cinema?” podcast presents Episode 2: Matthew Barney and “The Cremaster Cycle”. In this episode we discuss and break down the cinematic and visual arts career of American artist, Matthew Barney and his art film series, “The Cremaster Cycle”, a five-chapter series meditating on America’s occult and Masonic roots, as well as themes of masculinity, the inter-sectionality of film and sculpture, and audience endurance.

We are delving into Barney’s work as a precursor to Texas Theatre’s newest partnership with The Nasher Sculpture Center, bringing art films to be screened at the theatre. Barney’s newest film, the five hour, “River of Fundament” is the newest film to be screened as part of this series.

Continuing on our mission to build cultural bridges, we invited Manager of Communications at The Nasher, Lucia Simek as our guest for this episode. Simek is a writer, critic, and artist living and working in Oak Cliff. We speak to Simek about her love for her neighborhood, the new collaboration between Texas Theatre and The Nasher, and the idea of film as sculpture.

Hosts, Lee Escobedo and Patrick Patterson-Carroll also list their top five favorite art spaces in Dallas! Take a listen and enjoy episode two!

Growing up in Oak Cliff, Lee Escobedo and Patrick Patterson-Carroll didn’t have many opportunities to be aware of cinema. They remember looking for movies at grocery stores and pawnshops. Sometimes they would leave the neighborhood and visit a Half Price Books. But now they are using What is Cinema?, a...

Guitarist Rick Eye Does Whatever He Wants On Stage

One of my pieces for THRWD “issue 6″

Still tweaking the new site, but it’s a great new direction. I wanted to do something that communicated with Rick’s sensibilities, so it ended up being the most oddball of entries.

[killforacig]

Wrote some dialogue for this zine w/Dwayne Carter (not THAT Mr. Carter). More coming to come in 2016! Also, I will be reading at 3:20 in the A.M. on Saturday at the Nasher.

“15 Men React To The Idea Of Taking Their Wife’s Last Name After Marriage”

[virginiaisforhaters]

Men believe the family is their domain but when it comes to watching the children or doing chores suddenly it’s not their responsibility

[ortolana-deactivated20160716]

THAT LAST COMMENT THOUGH.

[shakespearelove]

I read this last night, and appreciated the fact that this is a sure fire list of men to avoid like the fucking plague.

I mean, I’m planning on taking my future husband’s name legally, though not professionally. But I’d have a real problem committing myself to someone who thinks that lowly of women, I don’t give a shit how much I love them.

[killforacig]

I have a hyphenated name. I legally/professionally/personally go by both. This is a choice. When I was in school, I used only my mother’s name because my father was “in my life” but far away. I knew little about him outside of the letters he sent me from the UK. 

There are a variety of reasons people have or go by the names they prefer. The argument that you “risk your life” and thus your name should be passed on is silly. Tradition, ego, all that shit: bleh. Boring. In the context of cis-hetero marriages, I don’t believe women should be forced/expected to take on a name they do not want in the name of a tradition that does not respect them. If a man chooses to adopt his wife’s family name; more power to him.

I have a young child who has neither of my names, and it only really bothers me because of reasoning (read: lies, personal issues) behind it.

Thanks to Pablo for the sweet title and guidance. Even when I’m not using a shit-ton of words, I seem to suffer from logorrhea. Lol.

5 Fantastic Sketches That Will Get You So Ready For The Return Of 'In Living Color'

The seminal FOX sketch comedy show In Living Color is making a glorious return to television. Jim “Don’t call me James” Carrey won’t be there, and neither will the Wayans brothers (and sister) or D...

There’s a joke in here somewhere about not knowing how to internet because a cursory search would tell you they shit-canned the idea of remaking it (a friend of mine even auditioned to be a Fly Girl). I guess the main purpose of this article was for me to say I wrote something about one of my favorite shows growing up. 

[killforacig]

Where I shit on confessional realism in literature and praise tagging. 

[tarotier]

I hate when ur watching TV or something and the screen goes black and you see yourself in it like what kind of forced introspection… I didn’t ask for this

[killforacig]

TV: Yes. Look at you. Shouldn’t you be doing something important?

Me: ?

TV: Wasted.

Me: Stop judging me!!

[killforacig]

I hate job hunting.
