The arts can also serve as a way of giving voice to the marginalized\, a function that is sometimes met with outrage\, suppression\, censorship\, and even destruction. NOMA’s Arts in Peril Film Series examines fundamental questions about the production of art and who decides what art is and can be in modern societies. \nFilms in this series will be screened during Friday Nights at NOMA programming and on select Saturday afternoons. The selections include: \n\nSaturday\, September 2 (2 p.m.): Mapplethorpe: Look at the Pictures (2016)\nFriday\, September 8 (7 p.m.): F for Fake (1973)\nSaturday\, September 9 (2 p.m.): The Rape of Europa (2006)\nFriday\, September 15 (7 p.m.): Through a Lens Darkly: Black Photographers and the Emergence of a People (2015)\nSaturday\, September 23 (2 p.m.): Exit through the Gift Shop (2010)\nFriday\, September 29 (7 p.m.): Pussy Riot: A Punk Prayer (2013)\n\nABOUT F FOR FAKE\nCinematic legend Orson Welles appears as himself in this witty and subversive film essay on fakery and forgery\, art and illusion.

He underscores unlikely details of mundane objects until they are charged with strangeness. Everything is contemplated so intensely in Bourgeois’ work that it becomes magical. Douglas Bourgeois combines his technical rigor with a far ranging grasp of the iconography of popular culture. His work can be found in a wide-range of institutional collections\, including the New Orleans Museum of Art\, Smithsonian American Art Museum\, Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art\, Morris Museum of Art\, Ogden Museum of Southern Art\, Honolulu Museum of Art\, and the Frederick R. Weisman Art Foundation\, among others. \nABOUT THE GHOST ARMY\nPrior to his lauded career as a Newcomb College art professor and professional artist\, Jim Steg served in the covert “Ghost Army” of World War II. Sketches from his tour of duty appear in the retrospective exhibition Jim Steg: New Work\, on view through Oct. 8\, 2017. The Ghost Army\, a PBS documentary film that premiered in 2013\, tells the little-known story of Steg and his fellow soldier-artists who were charged with creating battlefield props to deceive the enemy in wartime Europe. A top-secret\, tactical deception unit officially known as the 23rd Headquarters Special Troops\, from June 1944 to March 1945 this “Ghost Army” staged 20 battlefield deceptions\, beginning in Normandy and ending along the Rhine River. The deceivers employed an array of inflatables (tanks\, trucks\, jeeps\, airplanes)\, sound trucks\, phony radio transmissions and even playacting to trick Nazi troops. The largest of the four sub-units in the 23rd Headquarters Special Troops\, the 603rd handled visual deception. They could create dummy airfields\, motor pools\, artillery batteries\, and tank formations in a matter of hours. \nABOUT CHEF JOHN NAVARRIA AND THE ARTFUL PALATE\nCafé NOMA hosts a series of Artful Palate cooking demonstrations by chefs from the Brennan’s Restaurant Group throughout the summer.

Pecker (Edward Furlong) is a blue-collar kid who works in a Baltimore sandwich shop and takes snapshots of family\, friends\, and customers. His mom\, Joyce (Mary Kay Place) runs a thrift shop where she offers fashion advice to the homeless\, while sis Tina (Martha Plimpton) recruits go-go boys to dance at the local Fudge Palace. Pecker’s younger sister\, Little Chrissy (Lauren Hulsey)\, has a sugar addiction\, and his grandmother\, Memama (Jean Schertler)\, the ‘pit beef’ queen of Baltimore\, conducts prayer meetings with her talking statue of the Virgin Mary. After hip Manhattan art dealer Rorey Wheeler (Lili Taylor) becomes fascinated with Pecker’s photos\, a big exhibition is in the offing\, followed by overnight fame as the young man becomes the new darling of the New York art scene. Soon Pecker discovers that fame has its price.” (Rated R | 1 hour\, 26 minutes) Watch the original trailer.

Rock ‘n’ Roll is king. And Wade “Cry-Baby” Walker is the baddest hood in his high school.

It’s the hysterical high-throttle world of 1954 in director John Waters’ outrageous musical comedy.” (Rated PG-13 | 1 hour\, 25 minutes) Watch the original trailer.  URL:https://nomastaging.org/event/john-waters-film-festival-cry-baby/ CATEGORIES:NOMA at Night ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://nomastaging.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Cry-Baby.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20170811T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20170811T210000 DTSTAMP:20251107T191448 CREATED:20170512T180631Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170811T193710Z UID:23667-1502470800-1502485200@nomastaging.org SUMMARY:Friday Nights at NOMA | Music by Jake and the Nifty '50s | Artist Perspective with Jan Gilbert | Artful Palate: Healthy Choices DESCRIPTION:Friday Nights at NOMA opens the museum’s doors for many interesting activities throughout the year: live music\, movies\, children’s activities\, and more.

Jake Chimento\, a longtime denizen of the West Bank\, started down the path to becoming a professional musician fifty-four years ago. For the past two and a half decades\, Chimento has performed with drummer Bobby Hilton as Jake and the Nifty ’50s. The duo are known for their classic renditions of early rock and roll favorites. \nABOUT JAN GILBERT\nIn conjunction with the exhibition Jim Steg: New Work\, artists who emerged from Steg’s studio classroom at Newcomb College and Tulane University will speak about his influence. \nNationally recognized interdisciplinary artist Jan Gilbert will pay tribute to Steg and describe her own artistic philosophy through works that mine memory\, loss\, and transition. She pushes boundaries of all sorts by forging objects\, installations\, rituals and networks. Her universally compelling works are simultaneously personal and collective\, public and private\, local and global. Based in and deeply influenced by her native New Orleans\, Gilbert employs tools and processes of collaboration to create this host of widely varied projects with wildly diverse partnerings: her documentary filmmaker husband\, Kevin McCaffrey; poet/writers Andrei Codrescu and Yusef Komunyakaa; experimental theater directors Richard Schechner\, Julie Hebert\, and Kathy Randels; and Swiss cultural psychiatrist/anthropologist Jacques Arpin. \nGilbert’s public art has tackled tough issues of AIDS\, breast cancer\, war and death\, as it regularly finds its way to city streets across the globe. A few such projects\, often collaborative\, include: The Subject is War (1991)\, using bus shelters; Borders\, Boundaries & Bindings\, commissioned to appear as one of the first Central Artery Projects of Boston’s Big Dig in the streets of the South End (1993); Lunch EnCounter (2004)\, an installation and performance on desegregation; On the Line/Sur la ligne (2010)\, installed at 571 Projects Gallery and on the High Line in the Chelsea Arts District of Manhattan; and 30 Years/30 Blocks: a retrospective installation of place and public art work (2012)\, which appeared both inside and out at The Front in New Orleans’ St. Claude Arts District. \nABOUT CHEF CHRIS FITE AND THE ARTFUL PALATE\nFor eight Friday nights throughout the summer\, chefs from the Ralph Brennan restaurant group will offer Artful Palate cooking demonstrations in Café NOMA. Meet Chris Fite\, chef from Café NOMA\, as he prepares a dish and discusses “Eating Clean: How to Make Healthy Choices.” \nABOUT CRY-BABY\nFilmmaker John Waters is among the artists represented in Pride of Place: The Making of Contemporary Art in New Orleans. In a tribute film festival\, NOMA will screen five of Waters’ outrageously obnoxious and funny movies. \nCry-Baby is a teen musical romantic comedy starring Johnny Depp as 1950s teen rebel “Cry-Baby” Wade Walker. The story centers on a group of juvenile delinquents who refer to themselves as “drapes” and their interaction with the “squares” of Baltimore. “Cry-Baby”  falls in love with Allison (Amy Locane)\, a “square\,” and creates upheaval as their romance breaks social taboos. The film features cameo appearances by Troy Donahue\, Joe Dallesandro\, Joey Heatherton\, David Nelson\, Willem Dafoe\, and Patricia Hearst.

Ricki Lake plays Tracy Turnblad\, just one of several alliteratively named characters coming of age in 1962 Baltimore\, where ‘The Corny Collins Show’ is the most popular American Bandstand-type program\, watched by hundreds of young dreamers each day after school. Being chosen to dance on it is the ultimate status symbol and every young girl’s dream\, and Tracy improbably wins a featured spot when she infiltrates a dance contest and makes a better impression than her favored rival\, the catty Amber von Tussle (Colleen Fitzpatrick). Always able to have fun\, even when she’s being mocked by the jealous popular girls\, Tracy wins the affections of Amber’s boyfriend and soon begins leading a movement to integrate the dance show\, which has previously featured blacks only in a once-weekly theme night. She is arrested following a demonstration at a local theme park owned by Amber’s father (Sonny Bono)\, who subscribes to the same theory of race relations as ‘The Corny Collins Show.’ Tracy’s adventures are also filtered through her loving but eccentric parents (Divine and Jerry Stiller) and involve a humorous cultural clash with pot-smoking beatniks (Ric Ocasek and Pia Zadora).” (Rated PG | 1 hour\, 32 minutes) Watch the original trailer.

He developed an affinity for vintage R&B and rock ‘n’ roll as a teen (roughly 20 years ago). From there\, he began digging deep for obscure artists and tracks from the mid-20th century. He will spin tunes from the ’50s and ’60s in tribute to tonight’s screening of John Waters’ 1988 movie Hairspray. Come dance the Watusi\, the Twist\, the Frug\, and the Mashed Potato as NOMA’s Great Hall is transformed into a veritable Corny Collins Dance Show. The Abita Queen Bees\, a women’s marching club from Abita Springs\, will make special appearances throughout the night in their trademark beehive hairdos\, along with the Priscillas\, an all-women’s auxiliary club of the Krewe of Rolling Elvi who costume in tribute to Priscilla Presley’s late 1960s’ hair and fashion. Cast members from Tulane Summer Lyric Theater’s cast of Hairspray: The Musical will also perform two song and dance numbers from the show. \nABOUT NICOLE CHARBONNET\nIn conjunction with the exhibition Pride of Place: The Making of Contemporary Art in New Orleans\, artists represented in the collection of Arthur Roger will present Artist Perspective lectures. \nNicole Charbonnet appropriates Americana imagery\, as well as compositions from noteworthy international artists\, as a way of stimulating a sense of nostalgia\, while also informing current social and political situations. For Charbonnet\, painting serves as a metaphor for the phenomenon of recollection. Her process of painting mimics or simulates the process of memory with its numerous layers and textures\, resulting in paintings that both illuminate the past and encourage interpretations that function as starting points in and of themselves. Charbonnet says of her process\, “Whether painting images or abstract gestures\, my paintings are textural and built up with layers over time. The superimposition of textures\, images\, collage\, words and paint create surfaces that retain or reveal a memory of preexisting stages\, resulting in a palimpsest in which some images\, shapes or words are obfuscated\, while others remain visible however shaped by previous or subsequent gestures and events.” \nABOUT CHEF RYAN HACKER AND THE “ARTFUL PALATE”\nFor eight Friday nights throughout the summer\, chefs from the Ralph Brennan restaurant group will offer Artful Palate cooking demonstrations in Café NOMA. Meet Ryan Hacker\, sous chef from Brennan’s\, as he prepares a Latin-inspired dish and discusses “Latin American Influences and Their Role in the Rebuilding of New Orleans.” \nABOUT HAIRSPRAY\nFilmmaker John Waters is among the artists represented in Pride of Place: The Making of Contemporary Art in New Orleans. In a tribute film festival\, NOMA will screen five of Waters’ outrageously obnoxious and funny movies. \n Hairspray stars Ricki Lake as Tracy Turnblad\, an overweight teen who auditions for a spot on a popular teen dance program\, The Corny Collins Show. She beats out the spiteful Amber von Tussle (Colleen Fitzpatrick)\, winning over Amber’s boyfriend (Michael St. Gerard) in the process. After meeting some black students at her school\, Tracy begins to push for more racial integration on the dance show. This gets her into trouble on many sides\, especially with Amber’s pushy parents (Sonny Bono\, Deborah Harry). The movie is a celebration of 1960s-era kitsch\, especially bouffant and beehive hairdos.

Francine Fishpaw (Divine) is a housewife whose life has become a living hell. Her husband Elmer (David Samson) runs a porno theater and is having an affair with secretary Sandra (Mink Stole)\, a vision of sleaze in Bo Derek-style cornrow braids who informs Elmer\, ‘Children would only get in the way of our erotic lifestyle!’ Francine has two teenage children\, Dexter (Ken King)\, who likes to sniff glue and stomp on women’s feet\, and Lulu (Mary Garlington)\, a brazen teenager who hangs out with overage juvenile delinquent Bobo (Stiv Bators). Francine’s best friend\, Cuddles (Edith Massey)\, is a slightly insane heiress who is somehow convinced she’s a debutante. Francine’s life has become so miserable that her dog commits suicide rather than witness it\, but a light appears on the horizon — Todd Tomorrow (Tab Hunter)\, the handsome and dashing owner of a local drive-in specializing in art films\, with whom Francine enters into a torrid affair. Subversive on all fronts\, Polyester was originally shown in ‘Odorama’ — patrons were given a card with ten scratch-and-sniff patches\, to be smelled at key points in the action.

Regular admission prices apply—NOMA members are FREE—but there is no extra charge for programs or films. \nThe exhibition Pride of Place: The Making of Contemporary Art in New Orleans opens to the public featuring more than eighty works donated to NOMA by renowned gallerist Arthur Roger. \n\n5:30 – 8:30 pm: Music by Sabine McCalla\n5 – 8 pm: Art on the Spot family activity table\n6 pm: Artist Perspective with Simon Gunning\n\nABOUT SABINE MCCALLA\nSabine McCalla is an American folk singer. Born in New York City to Haitian immigrant parents\, she was strongly encouraged to learn how to play music from an early age by her mother. She grew up playing classical violin in orchestras. But as she grew older she found her true talent lay in her voice. McCalla began to sing ballads\, listening to old-time and country music. In 2014 she joined her sister in New Orleans and began writing and singing her own songs. Her music is based off of her own experiences\, poetry\, and the people who have effected  her life. Her music raises a series of issues about womanhood\, perseverance\, poverty\, fear\, and love. McCalla is currently working on a self-produced E.P. recorded by Mash Potato Studios in the Holy Cross. \nABOUT SIMON GUNNING\nIn conjunction with Pride of Place\, on select Fridays throughout the run of the exhibition artists represented in Roger’s collection will discuss their careers and influences. \nAustralian-born Simon Gunning has lived in New Orleans’ Bywater neighborhood for more than 30 years. His appreciation for the local scenery has never waned\, as is evident in his renowned\, intricately-composed oil paintings of the Southern Louisiana landscape. His compositions reflect familiar scenes — lush swamps interrupted only by egrets\, ibises and anhingas; ships lined up in the winding Mississippi river; industrial cargo lifts and cranes dotted with spotlights reflecting in the placid water; dogs and cats frolicking in streets lined with shotgun homes and jutting stoops. Despite his veneration\, his compositions are never sentimentalized. His edgy style of painting has been described as “an iconic personal statement about life\, death\, sorrow\, and a love affair with an exotic land.” He has a startling ability to capture scenes at the most felicitous time of day\, rendering the light and color that is so unique to the landscape. \nSimon Gunning was born in Sydney\, Australia in 1956. He studied painting and drawing from 1976-1978 at the National Gallery School of Art and the Victorian College of Art in Melbourne\, Australia. In 1999\, he was awarded a Visual Artist Fellowship by the Louisiana Division of the Arts. His work is included in many public and private collections including the New Orleans Museum of Art\, Percent for Art Collection at Louis Armstrong International Airport\, and the Ogden Museum of Southern Art\, all in New Orleans; as well as in private and corporate collections in Paris\, London\, Los Angeles\, and Australia.

Cabral\, a multi-instrumentalist\, composer\, and conceptual artist\, fronts the Thrio on baritone saxophone and vocals. His partners\, Doug Garrison on drums and James Singleton on bass\, are so closely involved in Cabral’s musical vision that the group’s performances often seem like spontaneous compositions. Cabral and Garrison have worked together for more than 20 years in the Iguanas\, and some of the Thrio material comes from that group’s repertoire. The Thrio plays a vast repertoire including Cabral’s own “The Beep\,” “El Huracan” and “Don’t Treat Your Baby Mean”; Iguanas material like “Sour Grapes” and “Te Espero Alla En El Bar”; deep cuts from New Orleans songwriters Alex McMurray\, Allen Toussaint\, Ernie K-Doe and Al Hirt; recast pop tunes from sources a varied as The Flaming Lips\, Amy Winehouse\, Junior Brown\, Burt Bacharach and Nick Cave; standards like the Rogers and Hart classic “Blue Room” and the Billie Holiday vehicle “I’m Just Fooling Myself”; and Latin American Cumbias\, Sambas\, Corredos and Tangos. \nABOUT THE GHOST ARMY\nPrior to his lauded career as a Newcomb College art professor and professional artist\, Jim Steg served in the covert “Ghost Army” of World War II. Sketches from his tour of duty appear in the retrospective exhibition Jim Steg: New Work\, on view through Oct. 8\, 2017. The Ghost Army\, a PBS documentary film that premiered in 2013\, tells the little-known story of Steg and his fellow soldier-artists who were charged with creating battlefield props to deceive the enemy in wartime Europe. A top-secret\, tactical deception unit officially known as the 23rd Headquarters Special Troops\, from June 1944 to March 1945 this “Ghost Army” staged 20 battlefield deceptions\, beginning in Normandy and ending along the Rhine River. The deceivers employed an array of inflatables (tanks\, trucks\, jeeps\, airplanes)\, sound trucks\, phony radio transmissions and even playacting to trick Nazi troops. The largest of the four sub-units in the 23rd Headquarters Special Troops\, the 603rd handled visual deception. They could create dummy airfields\, motor pools\, artillery batteries\, and tank formations in a matter of hours. \nSPONSORS: Friday Nights at NOMA is supported in part by grant funds from the Azby Fund; Ruby K.

The New Orleans native took soul singer Mighty Sam McClain into the studio to record the song\, beginning what would become a long and exceptionally fruitful career as a record producer. But first Carlo continued to pursue his calling as a songwriter and performer during stints in Nashville\, Los Angeles\, and New York City\, where he collaborated on projects with Dorothy Goodman\, Willy DeVille and Motown composer Nick Zesses. But New Orleans kept calling out to him\, and Ditta went back home to concentrate on making records with neglected Louisiana performers for his award-winning Orleans Records. \nCarlo produced the classic Danny Barker album Ham & Eggs and then got a Grammy nomination with Story of My Life by Guitar Slim Jr. Willy DeVille’s Victory Mixture won a Gold Record in France\, and he produced albums by Marva Wright and Lenny McDaniels for Virgin Records before scoring with a series of Orleans Records on overlooked artists like Roland Stone\, the Original Pinstripe Brass Band\, Ironing Board Sam\, Coco Robicheaux\, Little Freddie King\, and “The President of Soul\,” Rockie Charles.

While all three have had previous experience in chamber music\, their collaborative work together began in early 2017. Herlinda and Emily began working together in the fall of 2016\, and reached out to Ellen in January. The three young women became familiar with each other’s playing styles in the fall of 2015 upon entering their freshman year at Loyola. Their musical interests are focused in the Classical era\, but they dabble in Baroque and Romantic as well. \nABOUT KIM TETER AND VIVALDI’S ALL-FEMALE ORCHESTRA\nKim Teter\, author of the novel Isabella’s Libretto\, will discuss the origins and evolution of an all-girl’s orphanage orchestra that formed in early 18th-century Venice under the direction of a young Don Antonio Vivaldi\, the colorful and complex maestro who was destined to make musical history as a great composer\, conductor\, and violinist. Attendees may view the accompanying exhibition A Life of Seduction: Venice in the 1700s.
