While Babs would prefer to be left in peace\, she takes great pride in her status as ‘the Filthiest Person Alive’ — an honor confirmed by one of America’s sleazier tabloid newspapers — and when Connie and Raymond Marble (Mink Stole and David Lochary) announce their plans to take the title away from her\, Babs is not about to stand idly by. Shot on a budget of only 12\,000 dollars\, the film has grossed close to ten million dollars around the world\, and its success launched John Waters into a career as America’s leading authority on poor taste.” (Rated NC-17 | 1 hour\, 33 minutes) Watch the original trailer. \nNew Orleans drag performer CeCe V. DeMenthe will make a special appearance at NOMA dressed as Divine\, the actor who portrayed Babs Johnson in the movie\, and rap artists Alfred Banks and Cool Nasty will perform in advance of the screening as part of Friday Nights at NOMA programing on July 21.

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.

Photo by Rick Guidotti. \nGreat Houses of Havana by Hermes Mallea celebrates one hundred years of creativity\, design\, and style that made Havana “the Paris of the Caribbean.” For four hundred years\, the Cuban capital was the center of Spanish trade in the western hemisphere. With the expansion of the sugar industry\, independence from Spain\, and North American investment\, Havana became a city of great wealth\, great style\, and great houses in a vocabulary that was a unique amalgam of European\, American\, and Caribbean elements. Great Houses of Havana traces the evolution of the Cuban home from the classic\, Spanish colonial courtyard house to the “Tropical Modernist” villas of the 1950s—houses reflecting international architecture trends while remaining true to the Cuban tradition. \nHermes Mallea is an architect and a partner in the New York City based firm M(Group). Mallea studied at the University of Miami’s School of Architecture and Columbia University’s graduate school of Historic Preservation and is a member of the American Institute of Architects (AIA). A longtime collector of vintage Cuban photographs\, Mr. Mallea has travelled to Cuba frequently to do research for his current book and to lecture on historic preservation.

Johnson\, professor of history at Boston University\, will provide a spirited historical analysis of masking both during and outside of Carnevale in Venice. Johnson is the author of Venice Incognito\, published by the University of California Press in 2011. He draws on a wealth of material to explore the worldview of maskers and reconstructs their logic: covering the face in public was a uniquely Venetian response to one of the most rigid class hierarchies in European history. This vivid account goes beyond common views that masking was about forgetting the past and minding the muse of pleasure to offer fresh insight into the historical construction of identity. \nABOUT THE WINGS OF THE DOVE\nUNO professor Laszlo Fulop curates a series of three films set in the fabled Italian city of Venice beginning with The Wings of the Dove\, a British-American romantic drama directed by Iain Softley and starring Helena Bonham Carter\, Linus Roache\, and Alison Elliott.

ARLEN CHASE AND ARCHAEOLOGY IN CARACOL\, BELIZE\nAt A.D. 650 the city of Caracol\, Belize\, covered more than 200 square kilometers and was economically and socially integrated through a dendritic road system that connected the city’s edges with its central hub\, an architectural complex rising some 143 feet above its adjacent plaza. The inhabitants of the city\, numbering at least 100\,000 people\, resided in over 9\,000 residential groups. These household groups produced goods for broader distribution and shared in a distinctive Caracol cultural and religious identity; their residential units were also intermixed with extensive agricultural terracing that served their subsistence needs. Public architecture and plazas were localized at causeway termini and junctions throughout the city and served administrative and economic purposes. When examined holistically\, Caracol’s impact on the ancient Maya world was substantial. The city constituted a monumental ancient Maya landscape not only for its site size and population\, the scale of its agricultural terraforming\, and the ritual integration of its its populace\, but also for its interaction with\, and at least temporary incorporation of\, other Maya sites within its political sphere (specifically Naranjo and Tikal in Guatemala). Thus\, while a relative “latecomer” among Maya centers\, Caracol is a paramount example of how the Maya could and did shape their world. \nArlen F. Chase (Ph.D. 1983\, University of Pennsylvania) joined the University of Nevada\, Las Vegas in August 2016 as a professor in the Department of Anthropology in the College of Liberal Arts. For the previous 32 years of his career\, he was at the University of Central Florida where he last served as an associate dean in the College of Sciences and as a Pegasus Professor in Anthropology. His research interests focus on archaeological method and theory in the Maya area with particular emphasis on contextual\, settlement\, and ceramic analysis and secondary interests on urbanism\, ethnicity\, and epigraphic interpretation. For 33 years he has co-directed annual excavations at Caracol\, Belize; before that he worked on a seven-year project at Santa Rita Corozal\, Belize. He has also carried out fieldwork in the countries of Guatemala and Mexico as well as in Arizona and Pennsylvania in the United States. He has authored over 150 articles and book chapters.

This exhibition celebrates the theater and spectacle of Venice—in public and private life—in paintings\, costumes\, furnishings\, glass and ceremonial regalia. Renowned for its beauty and singularity\, Venice played a central role in the history of Western art. In the 18th century the city experienced a revival in the arts and was the premier destination for intellectuals and travelers. The city and its inhabitants cultivated and eulogized a tradition of street life\, festivals and fashion. \nGuest curated by Giandomenico Romanelli\, the former director of the Civic Museums of Venice\, A Life of Seduction examines this culture of display and sensuality through four primary themes: A City That Lives on Water\, The Celebration of Power\, Aristocratic Life in Town and Country and The City As Theater. \nVanessa Schmid\, Senior Research Curator for European Art\, will guide visitors through this timely exhibition\, opening eleven days prior to Mardi Gras\, past paintings that depict Carnival in Venice along with 18th-century masks and costumes. Schmid contributed an essay to the catalogue that will accompany this exhibition on an exceptional series of paintings by Joseph Heintz the Younger.
