Photo Lottery is just 3 days away! Luckily… you can still buy a
ticket to take home one of the amazing artworks that have been donated
for 2009! Buy your tickets at the bar, through the event page at
as220.org/photolottery, drop by AS220 or send a check by way of snail
mail or as a last resort, just show up early at the event and we will
sell one to you if we still have them!
This is the fourth Photo Lottery that the AS220’s Paul Krot Darkroom
has held and each blessed one has been a sold-out event thanks to the
generosity of our patrons and the passion of our gamblers. We have
150 pieces of photo-based artwork from students, amateurs, youth,
working professionals, photo journalists, and legendary international
photographers like Jock Sturges, Henry Horenstein, Mona Kuhn and Danny
Lyon! This is a one-night-only salon style exhibition — people will
start taking their new art with them as the night winds down — so
even if you can’t swing it to support the darkroom with some dollars
right now please please please still come out and check out the
amazing array of photos on the walls. It will be a good old time.

Films from the Family Life Center: Stronger Than Their Walls
A film about probation, exoneration, and people fighting for the
second chance they deserve. RI state law allows people on probation to
be incarcerated for crimes for which they have been exonerated,
although almost every other state does it differently. This
documentary follows the story of several men who were presumed guilty
and never given a fair chance to demonstrate their innocence. The
families of these imprisoned men take the issue to the Rhode Island
Statehouse, where they tell their stories in an effort to reform the
law. 45 minutes. Produced with support from the Rhode Island Family
Life Center and the Rhode Island Council of Humanities Film by Nick
Horton, Julia Liu, Jon Mahone, and Keith Heywar

Deflag Haemorrhage/Haien Kontra, Drunkdriver, Green Cobweb, and Morgan
Egg
Deflag Haemorrhage/Haien Kontra work with noise, silence and
abjection. They transgress all notions of what a performance can be.
The Wire (Dec. 2005 U.K.) –”The long awaited debut release of Deflag
Haemorrhage/Haien Kontra aka Mattin (guitar, vocals and computer
feedback) and Goldie (drums, vocals, disc, chain and bird whistle]
comprises 15 tracks recorded between July 2002 and November 2003. It
includes one truly scary field recording made by Zoe Broughton at
Huntingdon Life Sciences back in 1997, where she was working
undercover for a Channel Four documentary to expose the notorious
animal research facility’s appalling cruelty to animals (see www.shac.net/HLS/exposed/broughton.html) . A concert or album of unrelenting ferocious noise, whether by
Hijokaidan, Borbetomagus, Merzbow or The Dust Breeders, may be a
highly enjoyable rush of pure adrenaline, but it’s no longer exactly a
surprise. Mattin and Goldie can burst eardrums as well as the above -
watch your speakers on the apocalyptic “Submucosa”- but they’ve learnt
their lowercase lesson well, and use disturbingly quiet passages and
slow menacing drones to equally devastating effect. Mattin is as
unpredictable as ever, lurching from the kind of delicate laptoppery
that graced his Grob release Building Excess with Klaus Filip, Dean
Roberts and Radu Malfatti, to blasts of unmitigated sonic terror that
will melt the fillings in your teeth. His guitar work and vocals are
just as extreme, especially on the splendidly titled “It’s Not Your
Fault You Are The Authentic Version Of What The Rest Of Us Can Only
Imagine”, apparently recorded live (listening to the screams of terror
and the vicious thudding of heavy chains I’m glad I wasn’t there).
Goldie’s drumming is savage and ritualistic, from the isolated
explosions of “Humiliated” to the all-out blitzkrieg ofhis solo
offering “Lacguage = Noumenal Sarcoshyce” [sic] (a whole page of
similarly impenetrable logorrhea adorns the album cover), but it’s
refreshingly far removed from both free jazz and Improv percussion
cliche, even though I suspect his collection includes a fair number of
Eddie Prevost albums. Luxury is an album of awesome intensity, one
that deserves to be blasted mercilessly from a 40,000W PA outside
Huntingdon Life Sciences every day until the torture ceases.” –Dan
Warburton.

Some people think these critters make great pets, they don’t take up
hardly any space, they will eat almost anything, and are easily
tamed… I personally don’t agree with these people. However, they do
make a great name for a loud freaking band that is playing at Foo Fest
this August 15th. If you think you know who I’m talking about—be
the first to send me the band name and I will make sure you get to
see them, and the Arkestra, and Lightning Bolt, and Mary Bee, and MORE
great performances for free.
