World War II Museum Presents - Special Exhibition - Lives Remembered: Photographs of a Small Town
September 25, 2008 - January 11, 2009 |

Lives Remembered: Photographs of a Town in Poland 1897-1939 illustrates Jewish life in Europe before the Holocaust through reproductions of more than 100 photographs of the small town of Szczuczyn, Poland. This special exhibition is on loan from the Holocaust Museum Houston. These photographs capture the ordinary lives of the residents during the years leading up to the Nazi invasion. These photographs were taken by Zalman Kaplan in Szczuczyn, where he established a business as the local photographer.Kaplan’s grandson, Michael Marvins, spent years collecting photographs by his grandfather from the descendants of the families that lived in Szczuczyn. The photographs reveal another side of the small Polish town contrary to the often associated images of Orthodox Jews. They show a rich and diverse way of life that was not so different from our own today. This exhibit puts faces on the millions of men, women and children who perished in the Holocaust. The photographs are of ordinary people leading common lives. The exhibit shows what can happen to everyday people when hate and intolerance are allowed to flourish. This glimpse into life before the war shows the people of Szczuczyn as similar to many around the world - enjoying life, advancements in technology and living free of labels or hate. Upon close examination, one must wonder, were their lives so different from our own? The exhibit contains over 100 prints of photographs taken by Zalman Kaplan who was a professional photographer in Szczuczyn, Poland. The Jewish community of Szczuczyn was wiped out by the Holocaust. The images were collected from survivors by Kaplan’s grandson Michael Marvins.

From 1995 to 2006, Cameron was Senior Curator at the New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York, and is also widely known for such international surveys as Cocido y Crudo (Madrid, 1994); Poetic Justice: 8th Istanbul Biennial (2003); and Dirty Yoga: 5th Taipei Biennial (2006). He is also a frequent visitor to New Orleans since the late 1980s, and he organized the 1995 New Orleans Triennial for the New Orleans Museum of Art. In May 2007 Cameron took on the position of Visual Arts Director at the New Orleans Contemporary Arts Center (CAC), one of the leading venues for new art in the South, and a principal venue for Prospect.1 New Orleans.

The New Orleans Museum of Art presents Photography and Depression, an examination of depression in all its forms, including mental and financial, through 82 works from the Museum's permanent collection.Featured artists represent a who's who of photography, including Ansel Adams, William Eggleston, Walker Evans, Andrew Feininger, Lewis Hine, Dorothea Lange, Danny Lyon, Eadweard Muybridge, George Tice, Alfred Steiglitz, Weegee and many more.
The works are accompanied by text excerpted from Culture and Depression, a 1985 book by Dr. Arthur M. Kleinman, the distinguished professor, psychiatrist, medical and social anthropologist based at Harvard University.
Photography and Depression, the second exhibition in the museological series at NOMA, is a journey--or, as Brian Eno suggested in 1975, an "oblique strategy"--that began as a reaction to the notion of mania in contemporary art. Underneath the frivolity of contemporary art and fashion, one can quickly locate various types of psychological disorders that often lead to cataclysm, economic breakdown or illness. The works chosen were felt to be the most relevant to our present day. "It might have been more expedient to use the nineteenth-century term melancholia, rather than depression," said Diego Cortez, NOMA's Freeman Family Curator of Photography, "but it was felt that the latter term--a more twentieth-century disorder and phenomenon--most accurately described our modern and contemporary society." The history of photography, like that of the twentieth century, has an underlying thread of depression-economic, psychological, and destructive trends in society. These prints document all three facets. The exhibition employs the ideas of Dr. Arthur M. Kleinman, who has led a revolt against his own profession by calling for a broader, more cross-cultural understanding of depressive disorders-one which can encompass widely divergent cultural behaviors, rituals, and beliefs. Excerpts from Kleinman's 1985 book Culture and Depression, edited with Byron J. Good, juxtapose images of the last 150 years, helping to expose some of the underlying subtexts of society's sociological, psychological or anthropological collective attitudes.

The Bachelor in New Orleans
November 21, 2008 |
Add to Itinerary |
Times: Fridays 6:00 pm
Location: The Voodoo Mystére Lounge, 718 North Rampart (at Orleans)
Phone: (504)304-1568
Come join us for The Bachelor at a new club - The Voodoo Mystere Lounge. The Few Bachelors in New Orleans really know whether New Orleans is an alcoholic mirage or whether New Orleans drinks are part of a general illusion, including wrought-iron grillwork, impossibly beautiful women, magnolia blossoms, race horses, carnival parades and Mardi Gras, moonlight, and the suggestive music seeping out into the streets from a hundred courtyards. So begins the Bachelor his idiosyncratic guide for the playboy, or playgirl, who visits our city. Having thoroughly enjoyed its first foray into New Orleans-centric material with its production of one-acts by local luminary Brian Sands, Four Humours continues to explore the home turf with The Bachelor in New Orleans, an adaptation of a WWII-era gentleman's guide written by Robert Kinney and adapted and performed by Michael Martin. As the Bachelor continues, smart...albeit besotted and strange...advice is offered on the visitor's proper relations to local landmarks, loneliness, artists and galleries, musicians, food, and romance. More than any American city and now more than ever, we here live in a neverland of what was. Kinney's 1946 guidebook evokes all of what New Orleans is and was and is that holds us all in place. There's little more to say. A compelling yarn, told in an amusing voice, by an actor wearing a snazzy suit, The Bachelor in New Orleans is as simple as theatre gets.

Add to Itinerary |
Times: 11:00 am - 4:00 pm
Location: Armstrong Park at Dumaine and Rampart Streets
Phone: (504) 286-2100
This year, the 2nd Annual North Rampart Festival is taking it to the street…North Rampart Street! At the festival there will be a showcase of more than 20 artists and food vendors along the promenade in front of Armstrong Park. The North Rampart Main Street Program is designed to revitalize North Rampart Street, the "Gateway to the French Quarter," which encompasses the properties located between historic Canal Street and Esplanade Avenue. These properties, whether through abandonment, neglect, or Katrina damage, are to be nurtured back to its glory days when Rampart Street meant prosperity, vitality, and life on the edge of the historic French Quarter and Treme. The goal is to strengthen existing businesses and attract new businesses who have the vision to stay the course, and help rebuild the street to its rightful place of honor.

Voodoo Mystere Presents - "Lord Chaz's Dark Theatre"
November 22, 2008 - December 20, 2008 |
Add to Itinerary |
Times: 4:30 pm
Location: The Voodoo Mystere Lounge, 718 North Rampart at Orleans
Phone: (504) 304-1568
Admission: $8.00
Week by week, programming at the Voodoo grows more adventurous and far-ranging. (Though, still and always, low-budget and accessible.) Thanks to a successful and profound appreance at our Halloween night fundraiser, The Little Death Show, this weekend will see the Voodoo debut in a full-run staged performance by one of the Vieux Carre's modern legends: raconteur, poet and vampyr LORD CHAZ, creator of the renowned New Orleans Ghost and Vampire Tours.
On tour and in constant demand, Lord Chaz has agreed to deploy his spellbinding powers to create Lord Chaz's Dark Theatre, a show of pitch-dark macabre, for a series of five sunny Saturday afternoons. Still more unusual, Lord Chaz's Dark Theatre is a show that grows, each installment deepening and elaborating on the one that preceeded it. By closing night (closing afternoon), the stuff of it will genuinely NOT be for the faint of heart. As has been acknowledged of his tours, "...108 people (men as well as woman) have fainted...during Lord Chaz performances.
Sixteen have been sent to the hospital via ambulance, including one heart attack." And that's outdoors! Imagine the danger in a closed room. Accomplished as he is, Lord Chaz doesn't expect to work such a powerful trick unassisted. His guest for opening is ADAMAS, and new guests--including the sender of this release--will be announced week by week.
