Check out the details of our monthly program in the Vereinsheim during May 2012.

WEEK 2: MAY 7th – 13th

Wednesday, May 9 / Doors 8pm, Film 9pm
ALL ABOUT EVE
The greatest cat fight ever committed to celluloid, All About Eve pits a fiery Bette Davis as aging Broadway star Margo Channing against doe-eyed “fan” Eve Harrington (Anne Baxter), an ambitious schemer ready to claw her way to the top. Nominated for 14 Academy Awards and winner of 6, Bette Davis gives the best performance of her career.

Friday, May 11th / Doors 11pm
LIVING ROOM: DIMENSIONAL II
Our friends Dimensional are back from Sweden with another jam packed night. Ashez Riot, Douwe Smit, Ludvig Gustafsson and Kim Sandgren will all play back-to-back

Ashez Riot (Son of Cataclysm, Dimensional / Berlin)
Is a dude and a true camel rider. His music, like his camels, shift in size, matter and function. A chunky funky house sound can perhaps describe him (somewhat) but styles will be blended and enriched. Ashez has thrown some parties, for example this one, and funky times are what matters.

Ludvig Gustafsson (A.T.V. Phantom Whistle, Dimensional / Amsterdam)
His first public live appearances were after releasing the single Marginal back in 2001. From then on he played the clubs and bars he would come across. After topping his graphic design skills in Amsterdam, Holland. He later returned to Sweden and recorded and released the long awaited Phantom Whistle Forest Law 12″ (clone.nl) as a part of the production outfit A.T.V. Dropping ear drumming tracks, no tags neither labels, he’s something you didn’t hear for a while.

Kim Sandgren (Dimensional, Vivid Bros / Stockholm)
It really hasn’t taken Kim very long to make himself all but ubiquitous on the Stockholm electronic music scene! Just a few years has seen Sandgren get involved with this burgeoning healthy scene in every way. From spinning at great clubs, bars and parties, with the likes of luminaries such as Cosmo Vitelli, Pete Herbert, Serge Santiago, Black Devil Disco Club, Dirty Sound System, and Johan Afterglow, to enriching the scene further by arranging and hosting nights with other great international talent such as Daso, Ripperton and The Dirty Sound System.

Sandgren himself has seen international action, working parties in Paris alongside Maurice Fulton and Dirty & Pilooski…impressive stuff! All managed with a mature sense of the underground scene and its dark and dirty rhythms. Kim plays across genres like the best…working the room from disco to deep house to techno and back again with a flawless grasp of the dance floor dynamic.

They explore worlds beyond the range of current reportage.

WOMEN ART REVOLUTION
A film by Lynn Hershman Leeson. In the 1960s, women artists formed Women Artists in Revolution (WAR), a coalition to cope with exclusion from museum exhibitions, art journals, educational literature and historical documentation. The cost of this exclusion is still felt today. In 2006, even after the success of women artists such as Barbara Kreuger, Shirin Neshat and Cindy Sherman. A poll of taken of Whitney Museum patrons found that most couldn’t name at least three women artists.

Through intimate interviews, art, and rarely seen archival film and video footage, !Women Art Revolution reveals how the Feminist Art Movement fused free speech and politics into art that radically transformed the culture of our times.

Saturday, May 26th / Doors 2pm, After Party 11pm
