MAK Center Seeking Getty Foundation Multicultural Summer Intern
Please pass this posting along to any qualified undergraduate students who might be interested in a paid internship at the MAK Center this summer. The deadline for applications is May 4th.
Getty Foundation Multicultural Summer Internship at the MAK Center for Art and Architecture
The MAK Center is currently accepting applications for a unique summer internship sponsored by the Getty Foundation at this international exhibition space for art and architecture located in West Hollywood.
The Getty internships are designed to increase diversity in professions related to the visual arts and are intended for outstanding students who are members of groups currently underrepresented in these professions: individuals of African American, Asian, Latino/Hispanic/Chicano, Native American and Pacific Islander descent. In addition, the candidate must be a currently enrolled undergraduate having completed at least one semester of college by June 2007. S/he will not graduate before December 2007, and s/he must be a resident of or attend college in Los Angeles County.
The internship is a full-time, consecutive 10-week position beginning no earlier than June 4, 2007 and ending no later than August 24, 2007. Salary for the entire 10-week period is $3,500. The intern will be required to attend meetings and events sponsored by the Getty Foundation and to submit a report to the Foundation at the end of the 10-week period. The MAK Center’s office hours are 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. Interns will be expected to work some evenings and weekends for special events but will receive compensatory time off.
MAK Public Programs/Communications Intern
Based at the historic Schindler House in West Hollywood and the Mackey Apartments in the Mid-Wilshire district, an intern will join the MAK Center staff to tend to the general daily operations of the Center and assist the
Director and Program Coordinators with production of summer programs and planning for fall programs. Preparations for fall include planning for the Final Projects exhibition for the international artists and architects in residence, planning the fall exhibition of work by artist Victor Burgin, and organizing the annual architecture tour of modernist homes and buildings. The intern will participate in assessing the needs of the organizers and contributing to these summer events, and will interact with the artists and architects in residence.
On a daily basis the intern will work to gather and disseminate materials for press releases, communicate with volunteers, assist with event execution, and prepare reports. They will also assist in updating and maintaining the MAK Center archive, an extensive collection of materials documenting all of the creative output of the MAK Center. The intern will assist in the organization of the archive materials both digitally and physically. Other duties will include responding to phone calls, emails and other communications; handling admissions and book sales and assisting staff with special projects.
The ideal candidate should posses more than a general knowledge of art and/or architecture. Good communication, written and verbal skills are necessary for dealing with a diverse population, as is a flexible schedule and an interest in all aspects of event planning from project development to site set-up and clean-up. An aptitude in Macintosh computers is required (with a solid working knowledge of such programs as FileMaker Pro, Microsoft Office and Photoshop), as are organizational skills and a good attitude.

LARRY GOTTHEIM AT LOS ANGELES FILMFORUM
At the Spielberg Theatre at the Egyptian theatre
6712 Hollywood Blvd at Las Palmas.
see: www.lafilmforum.org
The program will include:
Tree of Knowledge – Elective Affinities IV
(1981, 16 mm, 58 min.)
It started with filming the tree. Something was released in that manner of filming seemingly farthest removed from the procedure of the early films. I first thought a simple ordering of this rich material might be enough... But the essential feelings and meanings of that filming held themselves back. So I pursued sounds of comparable texture and richness, from which material the 'deaf bar"… and stockyard sounds… attached themselves to the work. But the film only came into its form-life with the idea of linking this deep-rooted and far-outreaching tree material with that film on paranoia that had fascinated me for many years. – L. G.
Machete/Gillette ... Mama
(1989, 16mm, 45 min.)
Rapid, disjunctive images and sounds from aspects of life in the Dominican Republic - a film dealing with representation itself, within ritual, within cinema, within history, within narrating. The title is a Dominican song, based on a Haitian song, meaning a razor-sharp machete; it is… a complex metaphor within the cultures from which it comes, but also within the film, extending my longstanding interest in edges, borders, horizons, into material of documentary [nature]. – LG

TWO PROGRAMS OF FILMS BY LARRY GOTTHEIM, LA FILMFORUM, SUNDAY APRIL 29 AND REDCAT MONDAY APRIL 30
A Quest of Origins:
Films by Larry Gottheim
in collaboration with Los Angeles Filmforum
Mon Apr 30 | 8 pm | $8–6
Jack H. Skirball Screening Series
This program surveys the trailblazing career of one of America’s foremost avant-garde masters. Best known for the cycle Elective Affinities, a series of four feature-length films started in the early 1970s and completed in 1981, Gottheim has carried out an absorbing exploration of the relationship of images to sound and time, examined issues of racial, cultural and personal identity, and considered the theme of nature in art. He is also the founder of the influential Department of Cinema Studies at SUNY Binghamton
In person: Larry Gottheim
“Gottheim's Cinema is a quest of origins. The films elaborate a response to the fictions of our world, the construction of images and sounds, the repeating cycles of life and nature. The profoundness of Gottheim’s art is to elaborate a body of work outside of fashion and within a search for an authentic language of cinematic discourse.”– John Hanhardt
[There will be a screening of different films by Larry Gottheim at LA Film Forum on Sunday, April 29
– see information below].
Detailed Program for Monday April 30 at REDCAT
Blues (1969, 8 ½ min., silent, 16mm, 16fps.)
A bowl of blueberries in milk, changing light radiant on the berries and on the glazed bowl, the ever more radiant orb of milk transforming into glowing light itself, with a brief shadow coda answering the complex play of shadows. The regular pulses of light framing the looser rhythmus of the spoon, itself a frame. A charging of each of the frame's edges with its own particular energy. Within and without, whites and blues, lines and curves. The pulses of vision, the simple natural processes, lift the spirit. – L. G.
Mouches Volantes – Elective Affinities, Part II
(1976, 69 min., color and b&w, sound, 16mm)
Elective Affinities is a series of four feature-length films Gottheim started in the early 1970s and completed in 1981 with Tree of Knowledge; the series explores not only images and their relationship to sound and time (a recurring theme in his work), they also examine issues such as family, psychology, education, freedom, and the theme of nature in art.
In Mouches Volantes… three elements… were brought together: the suggestive title….; a narration by Angelina Johnson of the story of the life of her husband, Blind Willie Johnson; and groups of visual material, light fragments from my own personal world of occupations…. As in all my films, the basic processes of cinema, the exposing of film stock to light, here the stringing together of linear patterns of sound and image, become metaphors, embodiments of acts of coming to feel, coming to know. – L. G
Mnemosyne Mother of Muses
(1986, 18 min., 16mm)
A mirrored form in counter-movement, dense with emotion-charged memory - a rapidly sparking dynamism of image and afterimage, swirling resonant words/music, juxtaposing loss, my father's stroke, Toscanini, Siodmak's The Killers, the Red Robin Diner…. I seem to be quickening. – LG
Your Television Traveler
(1991, 17 min., 16mm)
The history of space, the place of mystery, the mystery of trace, the space of history.—L.G.
The Opening
(2005, 8 min., video)
(excerpt from Chants & Dances for Hand, work-in-progress)
This is the first section to be released from a large work constructed from material made in Haiti, mostly on Hi-8 video. Hand is my son. He’s now 12. The initial production was partially supported by a grant from the Jerome Foundation. My venture in Haiti was to some extent inspired by Maya Deren. I was searching for traditional forms that related to the structures of my previous films. And something else.—L.G.
Born 1936, Larry Gottheim taught himself 16mm filmmaking in the 1960s and became one of America’s leading avant-garde filmmakers. From his late-1960s series of sublime “single-shot” films to the dense sound/image constructs of the mid-1970s and after, his cinema is the cinema of presence, of observation, and of deep conscious engagement. While addressing genres of landscape, diary and assemblage filmmaking, Gottheim’s work properly stands alone in its intensive investigations of the paradoxes between direct, sensual experience in collision with complex structures of repetition, anticipation and memory.
Gottheim developed the Department of Cinema in Binghamton, N.Y. and taught there for more than three decades. This extremely influential department attracted the most talented artists, academics, and filmmakers of the day including Ken Jacobs, Hollis Frampton, Peter Kubelka, and Ernie Gehr among many others. In the 1990’s Gottheim has also served for a brief time as director of the Filmmaker’s Co-op in New York.
Larry Gottheim’s films are in the collections of museums and archives throughout the world, and a program of his restored early films premiered at the 2005 New York Film Festival.

Chapter One Is Better Than Chapter Eleven
1988 / 1990, antique television cabinet, acrylic paint, glass, phonograph horn, 20” GE television, 9” Zenith television, Sony Watchman television, Laser Disk player Model # MDP33, original Paik laser disk
TV Tulip (computerized one hundred flowers)
1998, ink jet prints (100 different images) each 32 x 42 cm, on paper rolls, affixed to the wall, and antique television console. Installation size according to the wall, TV's vary in model (dating from the 30's to 50's) and dimensions; installation size according to the wall. Limited to 15 installations, signed and numbered certificate
AndrewShire Gallery presents NAM JUNE PAIK: Selected Works, an exhibition of artworks by Korean-American artist Nam June Paik whose video art objects and installations offer a glimpse into the life of one of our most treasured artists. Considered the “father of video art” by some, Paik was a composer, performance artist and member of the legendary sixties neo-Dada international avant-garde Fluxus movement and the Happening scene in New York.
The exhibition will consist of a wall-sized installation of 100 images of tulips transformed into wallpaper editions with a vintage television set, plus video-based works and multiples constructed from laserdiscs, CDs, vinyl recordings and other found objects. Black and white photographs by Lim Young Kyun who documented Nam June Paik’s performances, events and activities for twenty years will also be shown.
Nam June Paik died on January 29, 2006. His presence lingers in the surprising array of ideas and artworks he left behind. These works signal the contribution the artist made to contemporary art and culture. Paik’s often whimsical compositions, video-objects and installations are studied portraits wherein the artist himself seems to look out across the distance from the work to a point inside each of us. These artworks, already held in preservation, are perpetually connected to us while appearing suspended in time due to their vintage look. They serve as elucidations in which the artist and his countless viewers are portrayed and linked even as their mutual search for meaning is in flight. In his absence, Paik somehow still lives out the revelations he experienced in the bounds of the work which endlessly reproduces his era and his vision.

Killer of Sheep screening at the Nuart
Killer of Sheep
The Los Angeles ghetto of Watts in the mid-1970s is seen through the eyes of Stan (Henry Gayle Sanders), a sensitive dreamer growing detached and numb from the psychic toll of working at a slaughterhouse. Frustrated by money problems, he finds respite in moments of simple beauty: the warmth of a coffee cup against his cheek, slow dancing with his wife (Kaycee Moore) to the radio, holding his daughter. Writer/director Charles Burnett offers no solutions, but merely presents the reality of African-American life—sometimes hauntingly bleak, sometimes filled with transcendent joy and humor. Combining lyrical elements with a neorealist documentary style, the family portrait he paints is deeply compassionate.

Screenings for the week April 6 - 12
Filmforum returns April 22 with a screening that will include Los
Angeles premieres of new works by Ken Jacobs, Bruce Conner, Jennifer
Reeves, and more! But in this email I'd like to highlight two other
screenings.
First, Jon Jost's newest film LA LUNGA OMBRA (THE LONG SHADOW) will
screen at the UCLA Film & TV Archive at the Hammer Museum on April 15.
Jon Jost will be there in person. Last time Jost was in town in
October 2004, it was for the US premiere of OUI NON at Filmforum, with
a full house. So we know that some of you are Jost fans, and I'm sure
all of you are thinking that there is no better way to celebrate
taking care of taxes with a good Jon Jost film.
But even better, the UCLA Archive is offering a limited number of free
tickets for this screening to readers of the LA Filmforum list. To
request free tickets, please send an e-mail to <archive@ucla.edu>,
mentioning that you saw the offer in this e-mail and specifying
whether you would like one or two tickets. And that's it!
There's no Filmforum on the 15th, so no conflict there either.
Sunday April 15 2007, 7:00PM
LA LUNGA OMBRA (THE LONG SHADOW)
(2006, Italy/United States) Directed by Jon Jost
In this improvised feature shot in Italy, two women try to comfort a
third, whose husband has left her. As much tone poem as narrative, LA
LUNGA OMBRA reflects the disquiet that pervaded Europe in the wake of
September 11, 2001.
Cast: Agnese Nano, Eliana Miglio, Simionetta Gianfelici. Presented in
Italian dialogue with English subtitles. DV, 77 min.
------------------
Next, continuing all week (until April 12) at the Laemmle Grande is
the new documentary OPERATION HOMECOMING: WRITING THE WARTIME EXPERIENCE.
Yours truly Adam Hyman is the co-producer of this feature. We just
won a Special Jury Prize at the Florida Film Festival for Innovative
Documentary Storytelling. I'll be present after the 5:45 and 7:45 pm
screenings tonight (Saturday), and Tuesday 4/10 for Q&A, and drinks,
and conversation.
Directed by Richard E. Robbins and co-produed by Adam
Hyman (director of Los Angeles Filmforum) and Kristin Lesko, OPERATION
HOMECOMING is a unique documentary that explores the firsthand
accounts of American troops through their own words. Unlike any
documentary yet to emerge from Iraq, OPERATION HOMECOMING takes you
inside the minds of the troops on the front lines. We

The film is built upon the Operation Homecoming initiative created by
the National Endowment for the Arts to gather the writing of soldiers
and their families who have participated in the wars in Iraq and
Afghanistan. The film transforms selections from this collection of
writing into a deep examination of the experiences of the men and
women who are serving in America's armed forces. At the same time it
provides depth and context to these experiences through a broader look
at the universal themes of war literature. It uses a full panpoly of
visual strategies to illuminate each of the pieces of writing included
in the film - a virtual guide to documentary filmmaking techniques.
At the core of the writing in OPERATION HOMECOMING is a deep desire by
all those who have served in war to come to terms with their
experiences. Throughout the film the soldiers, young and old, express
a profound hope that people will listen to their stories and try to
understand what they have seen. As with all of the great war writers,
the soldier writers of OPERATION HOMECOMING are trying to find meaning
in the chaos and brutality of war. The film is a deeply humanizing
look at those who suffer the de-humanization of war.
