| story time with MRScarruthers |
so i was really sick with this 103 degree fever for like 3 days. i went to the hospital because i was worried. while i was lying in the gurney waiting to find out what they thought was wrong with me and listening to this woman in the next stall who had lost her short term memory repeat the same five sentences over and over again i figured it out. i was pregnant, or rather, i had been pregnant until a few days ago at the gynecologist. a few days ago at the gynecologist i had to have my cervix frozen to prevent cancer or whatever. i figured that this would have frozen the fetus and now NOW THERE WAS THIS ROTTING FETAL TISSUE HANGING OUT IN MY UTERUS and that was the SO CALLED INFECTION causing this goddamned fever. genius girl |

two: check out 4 of our newest um paintings and video at the MASH UP SHOW
 THE MASHUP SHOW was organized by Marcella Faustini with curatorial advice from the all-around-general-muses and animal handlers of the Nightmare City Council (now offering teenage sleuthing). |
Opening reception: Saturday, May 2nd 2009, from 6 to 9 pm
THE MASHUP SHOW ART WILL EAT ITSELF takes its cue from David Quantick’s assertion that “pop will eat itself” in an NME magazine article. Stating that since pop music simply recycles good ideas continuously, a perfect pop song could be written by combining the best of the best from these ideas into one song. The most popular echo of this phenomenon manifests itself in the ongoing mashup music genre. This genre is known for coliding songs that would seemingly have nothing to do with one another and subsequently creating a whole new song as the outcome of this encounter. By bringing together disparate works in the same physical space, The Mashup Show intends to question/investigate these momentary bouts of cognitive disorganization experienced through our current cycles of cultural consumption and production. As the combination of multiple sources of media, mashups maintain a clear formal and ideological tie to musique concrète and Burrough's cut-ups. They have, however, evolved. Now, materializing through the filter of an arsenal of shareware and software in the realms of video, web application hybrids and digital recombinant works, cultural production is at an all time high yielding an ouroboros of cultural production and consumption. However, rather than producing a vision of perfection as theorized by Quantick, something else emerges. This show aims to examine through mirroring, the phenomena engendered by Mashups as a process of layered production. By bringing it out into our physical world and applying this modus operandi of consumption to a gallery show, The Mashup Show is attempting to shift idealized relationships between art works themselves as well as with the space containing them. |

10 APRIL IT LOOKS GOOD, IT TASTES LIKE NOTHING ON EARTH ALSO, NC girls tarot card reading by lee pembleton |
Revisiting the MFA Debate | ||
'1 YR: New Alternativity/How to Construct An Exhibition Away From Vultures' 4.17 event will also be a one night event for all Maniac artists to bring along a friend into the exhibition that in your opinion represents a new segment of art being made today. Kinda like Artforums Top 10, where they ask someone in the artworld whats their top 10 inspirations or new finds right now-- by default, one "item" will be your friend's object (if you chose to work w/ a friend, its not a rule), and the other can be anything in the world- books, cds, a poster, a piece of art from someone, clothes, herbs, whatever is hella turning you on as an artist right now. All pieces/items will be behind a chain link fence (you dont have to throw them over the fence...) and they will strive to inform a viewer about something new, or an alternative to a regularity in some way. This is a one night event.
we're bringing the sharing stick from our friend

ADDENDum: futher thoughts" 7 swords reversed suggests an obstruction inside a lack of focus or energy or forethought causes problems in achieving your goals. in conjunction w the knave of wants who can be stubborn myopic creativity, overfocused drive, it hink the cards are warning you to watch what you say and do right no, as you could create powerful obstructions or enebies. you may hurt each other by carelessly revealing secrets or betray NC by being argumentative and opinion ated. all in the service of NC but w.o. thinking through the consequences. Does this sound similar to what you are experiencing in venus retrograde? the cars and stars are deeply connected, though that is beyond my skills at this stage...

look we totally competed with these guys at the MFA debates like 87,000 years ago. MRScarruthers was on the goth team (CCA), and we like totally won by channeling the energy of dead art historians. i think they were dressed as squirrels.
i think i still have my master champ sash around here somewhere. i think it says master hamp now though. |

NEWS FLASH: In the early 1900s, the use of sunglasses started to become more widespread, especially among the pioneering stars of silent movies. It is commonly believed that this was to avoid recognition by fans, but the real reason was they often had perennially red eyes from the powerful arc lamps that were needed due to the extremely slow speed film stocks used
ides of march:
b.peters & MRScarruthers are IN THE INFIRMARY-- WOE IS US.
MRScarruthers just about coughed her lungs out of her face today and b.peters is looking for the cure at walgreens.
is a wal-quil coma and two days off from work enough to cure this uncurable plague?? is there no one what will take care of us???
in her delirium, MRScarruthers penned what may be the next great american novel. it's called hex-pox-rut-rot available only from NIGHTMARE CITY PUBLICATIONS or i bet you could probably find a copy somewhere on 24th St.
UPDATE: MARCH AND THE NEW MOON, venus retrograde, assorted hexes/poxes: down in the dumps, case of the mumps
some things that jonathan meese said once:
"actually this is where it really gets going. this shows that art doesn't really need the artist. As long as the artist is there, there will be production, and once the artist is gone art will accelerate"
"if you put a 4000 year old bronze sculpture together with a picasso then the two will make a baby that is interesting!"
[Other artists in history] are ultra-important! They are like captains on ghost ships. You meet them on the sea, exchange provisions and go off on your way again. usually they carry something, some spice, that i didn't know before. then they will toss some of that over to my ship and i can use it. these people are like captain ahab hunting for the big white whale. and that white whale is art. art is a hunt, like the gold rush, like the search for el dorado"

MRScarruthers
and the mystey of the weekly advice column |
Q:MRScarruthers, WHAT IS IT? A: A group of high school friends must come to terms with the fact that one of them, Samson, killed another, Jamie. Reactions vary, as Layne is intent on protecting Samson and smuggling him out of the state, while others think it's best to go to the police. Matt's tough little brother also finds out about the body and no one knows quite how the police will learn about the murder or who will be blamed for it. Written by Christine Sai-Halasz {sai@mit.edu} It follows the lives of a group of teenagers after their friend Samson (known as John) kills their friend Jamie. Their reactions vary- some want to report it, others want to cover it up as best as possible, and others don't want anything to do with it. Yet above all, no one seems to be that disturbed by the girl's death. A drama that will have you laughing out loud as the characters experience pot, sex, beat-up cars, police interrogations, insanely out of control 12 year olds, and of course, murder.

Title: “Tickets to Oblivion”
Explanation:
“Tickets to Oblivion” is a site-specific installation consisting of excessive layering of empty iconic images intended to discombobulate and overwhelm the viewer, hopefully challenging understood notions of perception and vision. The space needed for the installation is flexible. However, a minimum of 100 square feet of interior space is necessary. The components of the piece are as follows:
- text-based black on black paintings and flags
- poster-sized black and white Xeroxed magazine covers of tragic icons like River Phoenix, Princess Diana, Kurt Cobain, Bobby Kennedy, Karen Carpenter, Heath Ledger, Christopher Reeve, Ernest Hemmingway, etc.
- DIY lenticular panels
Lenticular panels simulate animation by causing the image to move when the viewing angle is changed –in a sense this is a literal
manifestation of the parallax view. They are typically used as cheap promotional items or as billboards (ie advertisements). Materially,
they are two or more flat images interlaced and presented behind a
lenticular sheet (ridged plastic or resin made up of a series of
lenticular lenses). We intend to use this lenticular technology to
inflict a sort of non-violent violence. For example, the iconic figures in these images may shift their eyes, blink, wink, or experience atrophy or trauma to the eyeball (ie, pin-point or dilated pupils or black/sunken eyes).
- Make-shift 3D layering
We will utilize 3D plastic sheeting to create an effect that is usually experienced by a viewer only through 3D glasses. The images will
be washed in either red or blue to amplify this reference.
- Giant string art
Red and blue string art will originate from the icons’ eyeballs, physically disrupting the viewer's experience of the space. The twine will terminate on the floor and transform in to text, which will directly mirror the text featured on the magazine covers.
The placement of the individual components will ultimately create an almost unnavigable web of meaningless reiterations of iconic images. The paintings and flags will hang vertically from the ceiling, obscuring the other elements and limiting the viewer’s ability to move freely through the space. The string art will further limit movement, and the lenticular and 3-D panels will subtly alter the viewer’s perception of the familiar iconic images. We hope that the final effect will be one of disorientation for the viewer, short-circuiting his/her habits of passive viewing and understanding.

Q: And one final question. Would you prefer to spend a fortnight in an onion cellar searching for, uh, um, man's inhumanity to man -- or ... have all of Thomas Hardy's furniture start swelling up, say, two, three, four times its normal size? You in the onion cellar or Mr. Hardy's furniture? No doubt frightening the dear old man half out of his wits into the bargain. Couches and tables bulging up this way and that -- and there dear Mr. Hardy staggering back in disbelief searching his poetic soul for some explanation for this horrid vision. Your insignificant selves in an onion cellar or the incomparable Thomas Hardy, perhaps even struck down by a milk lorry in his attempt to flee the horrors of inflated chairs and ottomans, outsized highboys, engorged love seats, goliath Queen Anne tables, bulbous end tables and all the other villainy that makes this abhorrent vision worthy of rejection

"i'm 27 now. fuck this rock & roll bullshit. time to go back to school"december 2008 mixed media
in my dream last night, b. peters and MRScarruthers were at the MOMA. They bumped into ted purves. He inquired about the status of b.peters's thesis. together they walked over and around sculpures.
when finally the two girls' akward behavior forced mr. purves to sneak away, they returned to the museum gift shop where young curators discussed the status of erin allen's MFA solo show. The two girls
sighed and MRScarruthers looked down at her mood ring and it was green.
LET'S COMPARE

I know we've only known each other four weeks and three days, but to me it seems like nine weeks and five days. The first day seemed like a week and the second day seemed like five days. And the third day seemed like a week again and the fourth day seemed like eight days. And the fifth day you went to see your mother and that seemed just like a day, and then you came back and later on the sixth day, in the evening, when we saw each other, that started seeming like two days, so in the evening it seemed like two days spilling over into the next day and that started seeming like four days, so at the end of the sixth day on into the seventh day, it seemed like a total of five days. And the sixth day seemed like a week and a half. I have it written down, but I can show it to you tomorrow if you want to see it. | Well mom, remember my dream of owning a big house on a hill and how I used to wish for a living room with a plaster lion in it from Mexico and how I always wanted a large twenty four seat dining table in a dining room with original oil paintings by Michelangelo and Rembrandt and remember how I always wanted a rotating bed with pink chiffon and zebra stripes and remember how I used to chit chat with dad about always wanting a bathtub shaped like a clam and an office with orange and white stripes and remember how much I wanted an all red billiard room with a giant stuffed camel and how I wanted a disco room with my own disco dancers and a party room with fancy friends and remember how much I wanted a big backyard with Grecian statues, s-shaped hedges and three swimming pools? Well, I got that too. Marie and I are getting along swell, but I've got a lot to learn about handling my money and banks. You have to be careful. Poor Hobart. His dear wife Hester took some money out of her savings account, and had to pay a substantial penalty for early withdrawal. (Hester is shown outside being shot at by a firing squad) Enclosed is this week's check. Love, Navin. |

Is all my brain and body need
Sex and drugs and rock and roll
Are very good indeed
Keep your silly ways or throw them out the window
The wisdom of your ways, I've been there and I know
Lots of other ways, what a jolly bad show
If all you ever do is business you don't like
Sex and drugs and rock and roll
Sex and drugs and rock and roll
Sex and drugs and rock and roll
Is very good indeed
Every bit of clothing ought to make you pretty
You can cut the clothing, grey is such a pity
I should wear the clothing of Mr. Walter Mitty
See my tailor, he's called Simon, I know it's going to fit
Here's a little piece of advice
You're quite welcome it is free
Don't do nothing that is cut price
You know what that'll make you be
They will try their tricky device
Trap you with the ordinary
Get your teeth into a small slice
The cake of liberty
Sex and drugs and rock and roll
Sex and drugs and rock and roll
Sex and drugs and rock and roll
Sex and drugs and rock and roll
Sex and drugs and rock and roll
Sex and drugs and rock and roll

THE TWO TYPES UPDATE november 8
NightmareCity Publications is born* of a mutual preoccupation with meaningless symbols, reification as it relates to archetypes and icons, pseudo-science, magic, the circulation of human energy, the problem of stylistic reiteration and established formalities in art, and of course, adolescent counter-culture. These notions, mashed up and jammed (tangled?) together are extruded though video, installation, sculpture, printed periodicals, DVD publications, and websites. Do these forms engage and transform the variable content or do they merely contribute to the never-ending and redundant accumulation of cultural sediment? We underscore our investigation into this eternal process of accumulation both through blatant copying/stealing from the cultural soup and slip-shod reproductions/recombinations of these cultural fragments. We steal and reproduce until the result is a neon-toxic free-floating signifier that simultaneously is devoid of and imbued with meaning. This, at its most reductive, is a question about human energy siphoned solely as a means to an end for the circulation of capital and is most explicitly illustrated by the tenuous relationship between underground or youth counter-culture and commodity. Can art function as a space of revolution/rupture in a structure where resistance and critical power are limited by the dead-end conflation of human energy, labor and material with capital?

A: dearling darling you have two options:
Option 1: A passenger train leave the train depot 2 hours after a freight train leaves the same depot. The freight train is traveling 20 mph slower than the passenger train. Find the rate of each train, if the passenger train overtakes the freight train in three hours.
Option 2: Obtain the following wallet measurements: W x H x D

In her book Courtney Love: The Queen of Noise, Melissa Rossi reports that in the mid-1990s "Courtney surrounded herself with a coterie of soothsayers, even approaching hipster stargazer Rob Brezsny, who declined to provide his astrological services." Rossi doesn't explain why I declined, but I'll tell you. Courtney wasn't interested in the kind of information I specialize in. She pressed me to tell her whether her romantic future should be with Trent or Billy, and I urged her to talk about the changes she could make in herself and her life to get clear about what she wanted. She implored me to predict her future, and I prodded her to formulate intelligent questions that would help her create a beautiful and interesting future for herself. I bring this up, Aries, because in the coming weeks I hope you will do what I suggested she try back then.

p.s. - what were your pitches? we need funding.
Call for entries:
oh, now we remember! apologies on the delay, our horoscope told us that the start of september would be overwhelmingly busy, but really we had no idea. at least mercury retrograde is on the way to slow things down/fuck things up.
so. in a nut shell: shitty early 90s fuck-you-mom weirdo teenage girl.
Details: "the princess diana project."
we hope to publish a dvd with a special episode of our show "into the 3 a.m. void with carol anne and keturah/the pixie-troll-witch hour" about princess diana and the circulation of her image in the culture.
make digital art/video for the dvd or print media for the insert. make something. anything. unorthodox methods and strategies desired.
think princess diana. think kurt cobain. think bobby kennedy. take your cue from those images of human beings that circulate through culture and sort of hollow out a human being. for further reference:
some points of reference:
we intend to publish in early 2009. publication costs have been taken care of (mr. darcy's daddy $$$$$).
the dvd will be distributed for free (super limited edition-- probably only 100 or 150).
Deadline for submission is november 15, 2008.
EMAIL if you are interested, so that we can keep you posted on what's happening with the publication schedule. hope you're doing well.

Dreamboat theorist Slavoj Zizek (ok, tied fror 1st with F. Jameson/ and GD/FG) lecture at the theatre. They Live reference makes us less concerned about foil hats, more concerned about the limitations of cultural soup.
Later that weeeeek, MRS Carruthers overheard all the kids talking about it in the park right before the police sprayed water on them in an effort to force them to leave. Apparently, ZIZEK IS ALL THE RAGE. That's a good thing.
03 september-- NEON PUTRID PRESS RELEASE
B. Peters and P. Sturges, almost forgotten geniuses of the silver screen, one night found each other amidst the glittering putrescence of the gutter. While their tears and tequila dripped eloquently in to the garbage, vomit, and raw sewage, they began to howl a deep, raw, guttural ballad. Almost simultaneously, a broken keyboard, snare drum, and burned out bass cascaded from the heavens. The angels yelled "shut the fuck up!", stray dogs and cats screamed in agreement, and the crackheads moved their ghetto blaster dance party to the next block. Using the broken, angelic instruments, B. Peters and P. Sturges built a castle on top of a pop skeleton.
They call it NEON PUTRID.
