SUMMARY:FILM SCREENING + PERFORMANCE: Man Ray’s Return to Reason
DESCRIPTION:Film Screening + Performance: Man Ray’s Return to Reason\nWith a solo performance by Chad Beattie\nThursday\, June 20\, 2024 at 7 PM\nBlack Mountain College Museum + Arts Center {120 College Street}\nFree and open to all \nJoin us for a screening of Man Ray’s newly restored experimental masterpieces Return to Reason (1923-1929) with a new soundtrack by Jim Jarmusch-Carter Logan combo Sqürl. The evening will begin with a solo performance by the Asheville-based multi-instrumentalist Chad Beattie\, followed by a free screening of the films. \nAbout Return to Reason: \nThe four films Man Ray directed between 1923 and 1929\, Le Retour à la raison\, Emak-Bakia\, L’Étoile de mer and Les Mystères du Château du Dé represent a high watermark of early European avant-garde cinema\, a seminal nexus of experimental technique\, surrealist narrative\, and playful abstraction as suffused with dark eroticism. In these films Ray began discovering the limitless possibilities of montage as well as the direct application onto celluloid of objects such as salt\, pepper\, pins\, and thumbtacks. Juxtaposing undulating geometric patterns\, a twirling fairground ride\, and a female nude\, among other striking images\, Ray finds subconscious correspondences among seemingly incongruous materials and figures. In celebration of the hundredth anniversary of Le Retour à la raison\, the Jim Jarmusch-Carter Logan combo Sqürl present Man Ray: Return to Reason\, with a newly-recorded drone rock soundtrack for that title as well as the three other Ray films. The band’s cosmic sounds complement Ray’s work by conjuring the beautiful\, ineffable\, haunting\, and sublime. \nBorn Emmanuel Radnitzky in the United States in 1890 to Russian Jewish immigrants\, Man Ray is considered a pioneer of the surrealist and Dada movements\, with work spanning painting\, sculpture\, photography\, and filmmaking. Disillusioned with conventional art and shaped by the trauma of World War I\, along with the emergence of modern media culture\, Man Ray and other Dadaists turned to audacious formal experimentation to capture an unreasoning world. Though Man Ray is perhaps best remembered for his striking fashion photography\, and the camera-less pictures he called “rayographs”—photograms made by positioning objects directly onto photosensitive material\, which he then exposed—his inventive forays into filmmaking are lesser known. In his silent shorts\, Man Ray expanded his avant-garde techniques to the realm of moving images\, playing with chance and light to fantastic effect. \nAbout the performance: \nChad Beattie has been making music under the name Yes Selma for the past decade\, rummaging through clatter and drones. Since relocating from Baltimore to Asheville in 2021\, he has found a distinct voice in the hammered dulcimer\, exploring its dynamic range through the repetition of melodic patterns\, the reverberation of harmonic phrases – both in his solo work as well as with vibraphonist Adam Lion under their duo\, Aperture. Beattie’s latest album Tapioca Daydreams was released in 2023.

SUMMARY:Ride the Parkway Fundraiser for Veterans Museum
DESCRIPTION:Imagine bicycling the entire length of the Blue Ridge Parkway. Whew! U.S. military veterans John Buford and Rich Clarke\, members of the Veterans History Museum’s Advisory Committee\, will pedal 469 miles to support the Veterans History Museum of the Carolinas. Cyclists will share progress daily through their social media posts.\nWith your help via donations (small\, medium or large)\, together we will raise money to support the museum’s mission to honor veterans\, educate citizens\, and preserve our history. From June 25 to July 1\, Buford and Clarke will bike the parkway from the Shenandoah National Park in Virginia to Cherokee\, North Carolina.\nWe invite you to pledge 10 cents or more per mile traveled. The mileage of the team member who rides the farthest will be used to calculate your donation at the end of the ride.\nOption 1: You choose to donate any amount of 10 cents or more per mile cycled. Examples: If you pledge $1.00 per mile you will receive a request to send your tax-deductible check to the museum for $469. Twenty-five cents per mile would equal $117.25\, etc. You decide—the sky’s the limit!\nOption 2: You may pledge a fixed amount not based on mileage.\nTo make a pledge\, email mjrobertson@comporium.net and state your:\n·      Full name\n·      Amount pledged:\n–	Per mile\, or\n–	Fixed amount\nYou will receive a request for payment after July 1.\nWe thank you for your generosity and your support of veterans!
