EXHIBIT::BE KIND REWIND AT DEITCH PROJECT

Those who are familiar with the work of Michel Gondry, know that he is one of the most individualistic and innovative directors within the past 10 years. And this newest project is no exception.
Gondry, is bringing yet another unique idea to the table, which will allow us to get interactive with his newest film Be Kind Rewind.
Deitch Projects, located in New York, will curate a 2nd exhibit for Gondry. The first was back in 2006 for his film Science of Sleep.
Taking the similar theme from Be Kind, viewers will be able to recreate their own films all set in the back lot of Deitch. They will also be able to rent the films of other visitors at the Be Kind Rewind “rental store”.

The exhibit will begin Feb.16 and will last through Mar 22nd.

EVENTS/LECTURE::DIRECTOR ALBERT MAYSLES @ THE MET

"Grey Gardens" Directed by Albert Maysles (1975)

Grey Gardens is one of my favorite documentary films and an absolute classic. Albert Maysles ability to direct and gain the trust of two reclusive East Hampton women, Edith Bouvier Beale, and her daughter Edie is both poignant and astonishing. A must-watch for doc film students and moviegoers alike.

Maysles will discuss and share excerpts of four of his documentary films at The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

"If you can't get a man to propose to you, you might as well be dead." -Edith 'Little Edie' Bouvier Beale

Steve Jobs has done it again. With the "thinnovative" design of the newest MacBook Air, avid Mac fans will be sure to surround Apple stores around the nation to get first dibs on the sleek item.

** Should be noted that MacBook Air has one USB port, no removable battery, no optical drive, comparatively limited hard disk space. So, in other words, it's not suited for everyone. But it just looks so good!

MV::NIMA NOURIZADEH DIRECTS HOT CHIP "READY FOR THE FLOOR"

**This video didn't fit, so double-click to start.

This incredibly uber tacky 80's style (think Devo) mv is brought to you by Partizan director Nima Nourizadeh. It's incredibly silly and keeps to the light hearted nature that London band Hot Chip likes to project-- successfully I might add.

Nourizadeh also directed Hot Chips popular single "Over and Over", which for those who know me, know that it was my obnoxious ring tone for quite some time.

BEAUTY::AVEDA INSTITUTE HAIRCUTS

AVEDA is one of the most well respected salons in the world. Aside from their impeccable reputation for hair styling, their environmentally friendly products are sure to draw in those who make a conscious effort not to emit any more co2 into the world than there already is.

The prestigious Aveda Institute schools some of the next best talent out there.

The major perk is that anyone on a tight budget for a haircut can get a great cut for not a lot of money! And although it feels like a free clinic when you walk in, sitting along side dozens of those also trying to take advantage of the budding style makers, it’s still worth the wait.

Student cuts range from $20 and so on. However, stylists are picked at random, so don’t get attached to anyone!

BEFORE YOU GO:: Make sure you have plenty of time in your schedule! Students must consult with their instructors periodically throughout the cut, just to make sure all goes smoothly, which can make the cut last a good 2-2 ½ hours.

LISTEN::GLASS CANDY, B/E/A/T/B/O/X

SPEAKING OF AN ARTIST::GLASS CANDY

Going back to the days when I felt the rhapsody for electronica music, Glass Candy brings all those fantastical memories of youthful dancing and miniskirts back into the present.
It’s Ida No’s sultry vocals mixed with Johnny Jewels producing talents that make this semi-new duo an unstoppable must-listen-to force.
B/E/A/T/B/O/X is Glass Candy’s newest album. Their roller disco sounding track Etheric Device channels some Olivia Newton John mixed with a IDM influences.
For those feeling the dark days of nothing to listen to while getting ready (as I have been feeling of late) Glass Candy will be sure to get you in the "mood" once again, dancing to the genius computer generated tune(s).

NEWS::BARACK OBAMA WINS IOWA CAUCUS

The US Senator from Illinois and Democratic nominee for the 2008 presidential election won the Iowa Caucus: an electoral event that has been assumed to indicate who may win the election by using preliminary tactics from the 99 counties in Iowa, which delegate for Congressional District Convention and the State Convention.

Alongside Obama winner was fellow nominee and Republican candidate Mike Huckabee (who opposes abortion, same-sex marriage, and civil unions. Surprise, surprise!)

Fellow Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton came in third for at the Iowa Caucus.

Elections are scheduled to be held November 4th, 2008, which allows enough time for the polls to waver in either Obama’s or Clintons favor.
