Goodbye CBGB

This episode takes a look at the last night CBGB was open, on October 15, 2006. Several fans of the club tell us their opinions of and experiences at CBGB, including musician Matt Pless, artist Andrew Galindo, a member of the Hungry March Band, and legendary Lower East Side musician David Peel, who closes our program with the song "Goodbye, CBGB" while several photos of the club's interior remind us of what we're losing.

Yang Yongliang
Chinese new media artist Yang Yongliang was classically trained in
Chinese painting and calligraphy from a very young age but uses digital
tools to capture that time-tested aesthetic. Traditional Chinese culture
permeates his cutting-edge creative process, using new techniques and
software to interpret older forms, like Chinese landscape paintings.

SOMEDAY ALL THE ADULTS WILL DIE
The exhibition coincides with the publication of Punk: An Aesthetic by Johan Kugelberg and Jon Savage, published by Rizzoli.

Uncommon Deities - The God of Single Cell Organisms
David Sylvian's Samadhisound will be releasing Uncommon Deities on the
24th September 2012. Last year's Punkt Festival played host to Uncommon
Deities, an unusual confluence of talents and media. Walking into the
gallery’s large space, visitors were greeted by a series of paintings by
Atsushi Fukui that culminated in the striking, hermaphroditic figure in
“The Botanist.” An audio installation by David Sylvian filled the
space, and the opening night celebration brought poets and musicians
into the mix: the acclaimed Norwegian poets Paal-Helge Haugen and Nils
Christian Moe Repstad read alongside Evan Parker and Arve Henriksen, and
their works were read in English by Sylvian, whose recorded voice was
accompanied by John Tilbury, Philip Jeck, and Sidsel Endresen.
The CD release of Uncommon Deities isn’t a document of the installation, but a reinvention: the poems and Sylvian’s readings are placed in new settings by Jan Bang and Erik Honoré.
The cofounders of the Punkt festival and close collaborators on the original installation, Bang and Honoré draw on new performances by the deeply sympathetic trumpeter Arve Henriksen and the startling, elemental singer Sidsel Endresen. These improvisations join live material captured at last year’s Punkt events, in a production that’s spacious and atmospheric, somber and escapist, light-hearted and steeped in history - a recording as rich as the ancestry of the work that inspired it.
