STARING EYES #5: The Pulse Below The Ear
Saturday, February 23rd
8-11 PM
Free

February's Staring Eyes screening regales us with stories about the distinct pleasures and limitations of our eyes and our ears. Featuring Alison O'Daniel's feature-length film Night Sky and Nancy Andrew's short Behind The Eyes Are The Ears, both films ask us to expand our cinematic vocabulary with their narratives of altered perceptions and thwarted expectations, playing with our most fundamental sensory experience of film.

Nancy Andrews' Behind The Eyes Are The Ears mixes puppetry, found footage and live action to recount a tale of man's study of the unknown, filtered through ethnographic and horror film conventions. Alison O'Daniel's Night Sky tells several stories at once, casting diegetic and live sound as a dominant character. Night Sky is a hybrid of several types of narratives—"road movies, buddy films, sci-fi and queer narratives—but the language of the film emerges around the ambiguous relationship between the [protagonists], one of whom is deaf."

Night Sky will be accompanied in part by a live musical score performed by Jarrod Welling Cann and Rob Ritter, of the Cincinnati bands Sleeping Sea and Bear (the Ghost). 

As always, Staring Eyes screenings are free and open to all ages. It is still winter and Third Party is an artist-run space, meaning: please dress warmly. We'll try and do our part to keep you comfortable by providing some hot drinks and popcorn.

Don't miss this one, it may very well bring down the house!

----------------------------------------------------------
ALISON O'DANIEL is a LA based filmmaker. Her films enact a sensory experience on the body of the viewer through a combination of subtle and pronounced transformations of narrative filmmaking and the cinematic experience. Characters willingness to encounter the unknown becomes a model for the viewer’s own rootless journey into language, relationship and environment. She teaches at Otis College of Art and Design and is a recipient of the 2011 California Community Foundation Emerging Artist Fellowship, a Puffin Foundation grant, and the Agnes Gund Fellowship.

Description of Night Sky:  "The film was conceived and produced in collaboration with a cast of performers, artists, filmmakers and musicians, half of whom are deaf and half of whom are hearing/non-signing.  O’Daniel worked closely with Jules Dameron, who started Deaf Women In Film in order to locate her collaborators from that community.  This film centers on two women, Cleo (played by Deaf actress Evelina Gaina) and Jay (played by Jeanne-Marie Mandell). Cleo is deaf, Jay is hearing and they take a road trip to the California desert near Joshua Tree, where they receive a cosmic message by touching vibrational surfaces during the course of a sound bath. Simultaneous to their travels, there is a dance contest happening in a parallel universe, where wherein the touch of dancers’ hands affects the music being played by the Los Angeles duo Lucky Dragons. A deaf dog is the only character that traverses both planes of existence -- through a membrane delineated by a hula hoop." (Whitehot Magazine)


NANCY ANDREWS lives on the coast of Maine, where she makes films, drawings, props and objects.  She works in hybrid forms combining storytelling, documentary, animation, puppetry,  and research. Her characters and narratives are synthesized from various sources, including history, movies, popular educational materials and autobiography. Her work has been presented by the Museum of Modern Art, Pacific Film Archive, and Ann Arbor Film Festival, among others.

About the work:

By all means, I strive to avoid any classification of art as a higher practice, as this creates distance and exclusivity among people, and anyone could potentially do this if they really tried. Realistically though, we all have preferences and mine lie in the realm of study, practice, and execution, always making a point to repeat because my artistic being can never be complete.
As art as in life, I prefer to work with materials that are pure and tangible, ink, ruler, French curve, compass, brush. It is important to learn to use these tools and their individual techniques as far too often real skills like these are falling through a generational crack, overlooked for the simpler tricks that digital programs offer. I would like for my portfolio to be something that people generations from now can view in a gallery or book rather than a physical misrepresentation of a digitally born file. You benefit more from food in its unprocessed state, why should art be any different?
I aim to surround myself with reminders that there is always an alternative. Trends come, subcultures and movements get tapped then watered down with diluted versions of their former selves. I want my work to resonate a light of purity. It is important for me to observe trends and actively make strides to avoid being a follower.
I know that the large amounts of time I take to maintain the technical skills of a traditional artist are worth it. Letting yourself fall into the trap of art as a speedy form of financial stability leads you down the path of a crowd pleaser. My work is for the people that take the time to notice and discuss the details that are there for anyone to see.

STARING EYES #3: Yule Logs and Certain Types of Nog
Saturday, December 15th
8 PM
Free

In a nod to Charlie Brown Christmases of yesterday, lumpy clay abominable snowmen, unnamed islands of misfit toys, charred yule logs and deliriously spiked eggnogs, STARING EYES December program presents a festive seasonal lineup of experimental, acerbic animated films you most certainly can't Tivo.

The program features shorts by fifteen claymation artists, cartoonists, former Sesame Street animators, up-and-comers and underground old-schoolers from Japan, France, Canada, the UK and all across the US of A. Also, for an extra dose of yesteryear's holiday flavor, we will have a few of our favorite cartoon golden oldies and holiday oddities thrown into the mix.

Eggnog, popcorn and hot chocolate will be provided, but bring your own blankets and beer. It's December at an alternative art space, meaning it'll be a little chilly, so please dress comfortably.

The manual nature of photography has allowed for a shift in the consideration of what can become a still-life. Photography continues to employ current methods of presentation while incorporating both symbology and classical imagery. Today, photographic process allows the studio to function similarly to the camera. The studio acts as an interior situation, where scene creation and object placement occurs via the photographer. These functions reinvigorate the relationship between the camera and the studio, forming an interchangeable relationship. Third Party Gallery’s December exhibition focuses on the shift in current modes of representation in still life photography. The reinstatement of the photographic medium involves a practice in which the studio takes on the role of a laboratory, releasing the controlled elements and conditions of a traditional still life into a more experimental engagement. Through this exercise, current practices in still life photography create a myriad of relationships between objects and the represented image, while continuing to challenge our perceptions on the nature of image making.
