received on nonsense nyc ...Another Last Year Group art on time. Another Last Year is a unique look at how artists working in various disciplines address the cyclical nature of cultural progression, as well as the inseparability of anxiety and the passage of time. Offering a glimpse into the minds of 12 artists, Ad Nauseam Lyceum presents a group exhibition investigating the relationship among time, progress, and process. The exhibition will include painting, photography, media, and sculpture by Amy Beecher, Brent Birnbaum, Matt Broach, Janna Coker, Cathleen Cueto, Danielle Durchslag, Scott Goodman, Sayaka Nagata, Anna Ogier-Bloomer, Carolyn Salas, Jake Scharbach, and Eli Stertz. Capturing the nostalgia of both the distant and recent past, each piece offers a glimpse into how these individual artists experience the passing of time with the coming of each new year.

Opening Night, Wed. Jan. 16 at 7:15 Film, Food, Jazz & Live Art HELVETICA Gary Hustwit. 2007. 80 min. NR. UK. "One of the most slyly intelligent and quietly captivating documentaries of the year." (Time Out London) Perhaps the most influential expression of sleek, bold modernism is hidden in plain sight: the 50-year-old typeface called Helvetica. Found everywhere everyday - in ads and logos, on street and subway signs - it’s the ultimate in cool. Not just for font geeks, Hustwit’s thoroughly engaging film interweaves the history of Helvetica with passionate debate from graphic designers on the typeface’s political implications: Do its clean letters, proportions, and spacing inspire confidence, fairness, even perfection - or feed the impulse toward conformity and the corporate mindset? Q&A: Michael Bierut, who is featured in the film, has won hundreds of awards including graphic design’s highest honor, the AIGA Medal. He’s a partner at the renowned firm Pentagram, as w

"I march in the parade of liberty, but as long as I love you I'm not free" FROM http://www.lmcc.net/blog/ Generously supported by The Greenwall Foundation New York-based artist Sharon Hayes works in performance, video, and installation, creating situations that expose dramatic frictions between collective activities and personal actions. With interventions that are inspired by the language of politics and the dramaturgy of theater, Hayes has staged protests, delivered speeches, and organized demonstrations in which crowds and individuals are invited to rethink their roles in the construction of public opinion. Hayes will create a site-specific performance piece for the New Museum, which will have both a live component and a recorded element that will be broadcast in an unusual interstitial space located between galleries. Continuing the artist’s interrogation of the infinitesimal distance that separates the public from the private, this new work will be a reflection on
