LOCAL NEWS

THIS WEEK’S UPS AND DOWNS

BY THE PUBLIC STAFF

UPS: Too rarely do we praise what is good in OUR DAILY NEWSPAPER, but amen to the editorial published in last Saturday’s Buffalo News, titled “First Amendment is under attack by newsprint tariffs.” We’d have made the headline read “Trump’s newsprint tariffs,” and that’s not mere quibbling: The daily paper’s first mention of the tariffs, which were implemented at the beginning of April and have added a crippling 30 percent to this publication’s printing costs, was in a May 6 column by News editor Mike Connelly, in which Connelly bemoaned not so much the tariffs but the consequent shortage of paper for the News’s presses. In the column, Connelly seemed to put the onus for that shortage on Canadian newsprint manufacturer’s for “passing along the cost of defending against proposed Trump administration tariffs”—note that these were not “proposed” on May 6 but already in effect—by, for example, selling their paper to other markets unburdened by Trump’s job-killing tariffs, which all but one of the remaining newsprint manufacturers in the US oppose. (We’ve heard that the News’s newsprint shortages at that moment may have had more to do with staffing changes in the production management team made earlier this year, but it is certainly true that Canadian companies, which supply the bulk of North American demand, have found other clients in order to avoid the US tariffs.) Since then, of course, the Buffalo News’s financial problems—for which the tariffs are just the most recent exacerbant—have become a woeful public spectacle, as reporters and columnists and other staff are let go or reassigned, sections are cut, and the possibility of the News become something less (or at least something different) than a daily print paper looms. Saturday’s piece, by the editorial board, is a response to comments last week by 20 members of Congress (including, locally, Congressman Brian Higgins), representing various regions and both major political parties, “warning the International Trade Commission that the Trump administration’s tariff is a box-cutter at the throat of democracy.” Here are the last two paragraphs: Yet the Trump administration cavalierly imposed the tariff that almost no one wanted and, in so doing, threatened countless more jobs than it created or helped to protect at a single paper mill. Worse – and to the broader, overarching point – it risks fracturing the Constitution’s First Amendment pillar, posing a risk to Americans’ fundamental right to know what is happening in their school districts and city halls and their state and federal governments. Even though he had his own quarrel with an aggressive press, Thomas Jefferson understood the issue. If the choice were between “a government without newspapers or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter.”

Whether intended or not, the tariff is choice for the former.

Well put, Buffalo News. We’re on your side.

DOWNS: A couple weeks ago, former New York State Senator MARC PANEPINTO pled guilty in federal court to a corruption charge: After learning, in early 2016, that he was under investigation for making unwanted sexual advances to a female staffer while on a trip to New York City, Panepinto directed another, senior staff member to offer the woman who’d made the complaint money or a job in exchange for not participating in the investigation. The woman cooperated, Panepinto announced he would not seek reelection, and, more than two years later, all is revealed. But one question nags: Who is the senior staff member who Panepinto told to offer the woman money or a job in exchange for her silence? Was it his then chief of staff, Chris Savage, who now works for State Senator Chris Jacobs? Whoever it was, isn’t that person culpable too? No one is obligated to execute a boss’s order to do an illegal act.

Although the election for Erie County executive looms some 15 months away, ERIE COUNTY COMPTROLLER STEFAN MYCHAJLIW stuck his chest out into the race early with an intellectually corrupt and populist salvo last week. We get it, it’s hard to get attention for a countywide race that’s a year away in the dog days of summer, but the comments manufactured by the LangworthyPaladino-Caputo GOP machine and regurgitated by the comptroller were frankly far below Mychajliw’s standard. ”He’s more interested in banning plastic bags, the Paris climate accords, and allowing grown men to use the same bathroom as my daughter than anything else,” Mychajliw said of current Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz, also calling Poloncarz a “liberal extremist,” as quoted by Buffalo News political columnist Bob McCarthy in a piece about Mychajliw’s fundraising for his challenge to Poloncarz in 2019. Mychajliw and GOP operatives are so touchy about Poloncarz’s laudable efforts to rid our waterways and roadsides of harmful pollution that it’s starting to get weird.

These guys love a good plastic bag, presumably even the ones without ‘merican flags on ‘em. But even worse was the mess he stepped in with the transphobic bathroom comment. The plastic bag extremist’s daughter has probably shared a bathroom dozens of times with transgender folks and would never even know. There is zero evidence that transgender people using a bathroom puts anyone at risk of anything ever, and Mychajliw knows this. Hateful comments like these don’t belong in the public discourse, especially now that the February murder of a transgender woman on Buffalo’s East Side, supposedly Mychajliw’s home turf, remains unsolved. Comments like these perpetuate the climate of fear that puts trans people in harm’s way. Are loving plastic bags and hating vulnerable members of the community really the the platform from which you want to launch your campaign, Stefan?

NEWS INVESTIGATIVE POST

Alain Kaloyeros pushed to locate AMRI in a specially added seventh floor of the Conventus building, which was already under construction. The logical choice to add the extra floor was the company already building the first six: LPCiminelli.

The company was awarded the work under a no-bid contract. Kaloyeros and Lou Ciminelli were recently convicted of bid-rigging.

BUFFALO BILLION’S AMRI FALLING SHORT ON JOBS

BY CHARLOTTE KEITH architect of the Buffalo Billion—said AMRI’s partnerships would be major job creators.

“My own projections,” he said, “are that within two to three years…we are looking at in excess of 500 high-tech jobs.”

TAXPAYER INVESTMENT OF $50 MILLION IN AMRI WORKS OUT TO $900,000 PER JOB BECAUSE SPIN-OFF PARTNERSHIPS HAVEN’T MATERIALIZED It was one of the first Buffalo Billion projects announced: a $50 million state investment in drug discovery company Albany Molecular Research Inc. which, Gov. Cuomo promised, would yield almost 200 spinoff jobs.

Five years on, there’s little evidence those jobs have materialized.

AMRI was responsible for creating only 55 jobs, a goal the company met earlier this year.

The partner companies whose jobs the state had been counting toward the project’s overall goal of 250 jobs appear to employ only a few dozen people, rather than the 195 anticipated. And only a handful of those jobs seem to be directly connected to the state’s investment in AMRI. State officials wouldn’t discuss the shortfall or the previous pledge of 250 jobs—a figure repeated in press releases, reports, and state funding agreements.

“The job count number has always been mysterious,” said Assemblyman Robin Schimminger, a Kenmore Democrat who chairs the Economic Development Committee.

The cost of the direct AMRI positions works out to more than $900,000 per job, making it one of the region’s costliest subsidy deals.

The AMRI project was part of an ambitious vision to recreate in Buffalo the model of economic development used to create a flourishing nanotechnology cluster in Albany.

Rather than giving money to companies directly, in the form of grants or tax credits, this approach involved upfront state investment—in this case, in a research facility on the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus that AMRI rents for $1 a year.

The hope was that AMRI, as the anchor tenant, would attract other companies, creating a virtuous cycle of job creation and investment, former AMRI executives recalled. But exactly where all 250 of the promised jobs would come from, they said, was not entirely clear.

In 2013, Alain Kaloyeros—the former president of the SUNY Polytechnic Institute and the 4

THE PUBLIC / JULY 25 - 31, 2018 / DAILYPUBLIC.COM

It’s unclear, however, exactly which companies’ jobs the state is counting towards the 250 goal, or how closely those jobs are being tracked.

A spokesperson for AMRI said the company doesn’t have any commitment to create partner jobs and referred questions about those jobs to the state.

SUNY Poly, which originally oversaw the project and had previously given Investigative Post a headcount of jobs at AMRI’s partners, deferred to Empire State Development, the state’s primary economic development agency. A spokesperson for ESD, which took over the project after Kaloyeros was indicted in 2016, said the agency is not tracking jobs at partner companies.

State officials did point out, though, that the deadline for the 250 jobs does not kick in until 2020. Still, the employment figures at companies the state had previously been counting as AMRI’s partners do not appear to come close to the 195 needed to meet the overall goal.

A 2013 agreement between SUNY Poly and AMRI envisioned one company, PerkinElmer, supplying most of the spinoff jobs. AMRI agreed to work “in good faith…to secure 175 high-tech jobs from PerkinElmer,” in exchange for PerkinElmer supplying the equipment for the Buffalo facility.

This agreement did not pan out as anticipated, but the two companies did enter into a scaledback agreement to work together, one former AMRI executive said.

PerkinElmer did not respond to repeated requests for comment. As of this June, however, PerkinElmer’s contract with AMRI had ended, and the company had just six employees in Buffalo, according to Buffalo Business First.

Another company whose jobs the state had been counting towards the 250 goal, HarkerBio, is receiving its own set of subsidies through the Start–Up New York program and will pay no state or local taxes until 2024. HarkerBio has created two dozen jobs, but company representatives said that’s unrelated to AMRI. “Our job creation efforts are the result of our hard work and not a function of any contractual relationship or commitment to AMRI,” a company spokesperson said.

The status of another company previously counted among AMRI’s partners, the New York Center for Nanomedicine Research, is unclear.

INVESTIGATIVE POST NEWS Counting only the 55 direct AMRI jobs, the cost of the subsidy works out to just over $900,000 per job.

“I don’t think we ever see a return on our investment when we pay that much per job,” said Ron Deutsch, executive director of the Fiscal Policy Institute, an Albany think tank.

Politicians, Deutsch said, “love the ribbon cutting ceremony, donning the hard hat and putting the shovel in the ground, but when push comes to shove these projects never seem to create the number of jobs they’re supposed to.”

The cost per job for the AMRI project is high for Western New York—even among projects funded by the Buffalo Billion, Cuomo’s plan to revitalize the region’s economy with massive state investments in high-tech industries.

Projects subsidized by the Erie County Industrial Development Agency in recent years, by contrast, work out to around $2,300 per job.

Despite the high cost of the AMRI jobs created so far, state officials appear undeterred: Jason Conwall, an ESD spokesperson, said the agency is in discussions with AMRI about a second phase of the project, which would presumably involve more state investment in exchange for another job commitment.

The project was one of several initiated and

overseen by Kaloyeros, who quietly steered the construction work to LPCiminelli, whose former CEO, Louis Ciminelli, was recently convicted, alongside Kaloyeros, of bid-rigging on another Buffalo Billion project, the $750 million factory for SolarCity.

Abruptly discarding an earlier plan, Kaloyeros pushed to locate the company in a specially added seventh floor of the Conventus building, which was already under construction, according to testimony from his recent trial. The logical choice to add the extra floor was the company already building the first six: LPCiminelli. The company was awarded the work under a no-bid contract.

The change resulted in higher construction costs than anticipated and logistical problems for AMRI, which couldn’t store the highly flammable chemicals it used for research on the seventh floor.

“In retrospect, there were a whole lot of red flags in this project,” said Schimminger.

LOOKING BACKWARD: DANTE PLACE, 1910 “‘Monday—Dante Place’ is truly great. It is great in the message it conveys. It is great in sentiment. It is current with the present. Galsworthy, Brieux, Shaw, and the greatest in present-day literature are exponents of the things that are, and as they are. Moreover, this picture goes not one’s hair breadth beyond the boundaries of photography and by that very quality proves photography a high art and Porterfield an artist.” —Sigismund Blumann, The Photographic Journal of America, February 1915

Dante Place, historically known as Canal Street, is here shown in a 1910 photograph by Wilbur H. Porterfield. Porterfield is perhaps the most celebrated Buffalo photographer of the 20th century—the founder of the Photo-Pictorialists of Buffalo and a longtime contributor, until his death in 1958, to the Buffalo Courier Express with his feature “As Porterfield Sees It.” This image, titled “Monday—Dante Place,” depicts an everyday scene in the Canal District, then an Italian immigrant tenement neighborhood. - THE PUBLIC STAFF

ART REVIEW are two handsome but otherwise unremarkable blond wooden chairs, placed there no doubt for the comfort of the show visitor, to sit a spell and contemplate the artwork or whatever. Until on third or fourth glance, you notice something odd about the chairs. The right front leg of the chair on the left splays outward slightly, precisely matched in the opposite direction by the left front leg of the chair on the right, splaying inward. Then you notice also, the chair on the right is a bit lower—seat and riser back each by about an inch—than the chair on the left.

So sculptural items, these chairs. Though perfectly sturdy and serviceable constructions, despite splays. You can sit on them.

Some persistent images—besides the furniture drawings— are body parts, occasionally sexual, but mostly not, or not specifically. Arms and hands and fingers most notably. The arms and hands in fantastical configurations. A pretzel figure of one continuous apparently boneless arm with hands at both ends.

Another near circle of a single doughy arm with a hand at one end, hairy knob at the other. Another drawing of a complicated interlacing of arms—or arm—a little reminiscent of a Celtic knot, or maybe a Möbius strip. And several drawings of just fingers, neatly amputated from the hand or hands they must have come from, as if with a hatchet or ax. Sometimes chopped into further segments, likely with the same sharp instrument. But all in all—in the plethora of arms and hands and fingers, including mutilated fingers—as if touch were a bottom line psychological issue for this artist. Not surprising in the case of an artist who is basically a sculptor, but a problematic issue.

GUARANTEED PAINKILLER

BY JACK FORAN

MICHAEL BEITZ AT ANNA KAPLAN CONTEMPORARY WORKS BY ARTIST Michael Beitz currently on show at the Anna Kaplan Contemporary gallery include several score drawings on notebook or scrap sheets—whatever was handy at the inspirational moment, it looks like—random arrayed on one long wall, and some sculptures, notably of underwear. Porcelain casts of underwear—men’s, women’s, babies’—tastefully displayed by and large, and with only a few underwear jokes added in for good measure and because who could resist the opportunity. The drawings range in mode and appearance from doodles to cartoonish to careful pencil portrait sketches.

probably choose for your kitchen or living room, but bizarre possible sculptural ideas. An enormously long couch that wraps around itself in a tight spiral. Another couch-like affair that spells out the word “Lies” in cursive writing, the dot on the “i” a little ottoman footstool. A table positioned upside down, the legs on one end pointing straight upward—as normal and customary for upside down table legs—the two on the other end—and for that matter that whole end of the table—curling over into a kind of fetal protective position. Some sketches for furniture-reference minimalist sculptures—a Platonic idea of a chair, Platonic idea of a table. Also several variant ideas for a freeform communal picnic table complex the artist designed and that is now constructed and installed as the gorgeous centerpiece of a community garden and pocket park on the east side of Michigan Avenue, between Laurel and Riley streets.

Many of the drawings are of furniture—not such as you’d

One drawing shows two severed fingers touching—or trying to touch—above a caption—one of only two captions among all the drawings—in a small, spidery script that seems to read: “The hard reality of touch is that it reminds us we are alone in our skin, broken/severed from union with anything or anyone other than ‘ourselves.’” A pretty dismal thought, as well as debatable.

The sculptural underwear—which might also relate to the supposed touch issue—was produced by a variant of the ancient “lost wax” method of casting three-dimensional items, usually in metal. In this instance, an undergarment is coated with slip—a thin mixture of clay or plaster and water—that is then allowed to dry, then is fired or heated to a temperature such that the original garment disintegrates, leaving a mold, which is then used to cast a replica of the original item in porcelain. (The underwear fascination is also well-represented among the drawings.)

Another interesting but enigmatic sculpture consists of a kind of forked tree limb with smaller offshoot branches culminating in two kinds of clenched fists. Negative and positive. Strike poster defiance fist, and fist-bump fist.

The Michael Beitz exhibit is called Guaranteed Painkiller, a reference to the art therapeutic uses of drawing. Regularly, habitually, incessantly.

The exhibit runs through August 4.

INTERVIEW: LUCY DACUS THURSDAY JULY 26 5PM / CANALSIDE, 44 PRIME ST. / $5 [INDIE] Father John Misty will bring his brand of broody crooning to Canalside on Thursday night, July 26. But before the bearded indie-folk artist takes the stage, Lucy Dacus, the rising singer-songwriter from Richmond, Virginia, will introduce herself to the crowd at Canalside.

Dacus debuted two years ago with her first album, No Burden. She signed with Matador Records after a flurry of offers from other labels, and her second album, 2018’s Historian, expanded on what No Burden offered, giving the young artist room to explore. Her often-personal lyrics combined with her voice that can go from a gentle breeze to a hurricane has established her as one of the freshest artists in the indie scene right now. This week we spoke to the indie singer-songwriter about touring, writing new music, and the World Cup. So, to start with an off-topic question, you’ve tweeted saying you only watch sports once every four years because of the World Cup. What about the competition draws you in?

There’s a lot more identity wrapped up into the World Cup because you’re representing your country. I feel like all the players are really conscious of their childhood and why they started to play football. And all the drama, the high drama, it’s such a fast-paced game that’s never really boring.

Even if it’s a low-scoring game, there’s so much beauty in the playing, everybody’s just so graceful.

Whenever they do the slow-motion shots, it always looks like a Renaissance painting. I don’t know, I’m surprising myself with getting into sports so much.

You tend to write lyrics in a sort of straight out of a diary style. On “Night Shift”, for example, you say you were “resisting urges to punch you in the teeth.” Was there an actual person in your life at the time you had to hold yourself back from punching?

Yeah, that’s a specific person. [laughs] That’s the only break-up song I’ve ever written. It’s especially weird to play it in my hometown because I feel like everyone knows who it’s about. I try not to talk about them too much because I don’t really like to be defined by this person, but yeah. I would never really punch someone in the teeth, but… you know that urge. I’m not a violent person, but that thought did cross my mind.

You mentioned in a New York Times article that the big difference between recording No Burden and Historian was that there was no concept of it mattering on the first album. Has that same sort of attitude transferred to touring and playing live?

In a funny way, it’s like the opposite happened. Shows felt a lot scarier at the beginning; they mattered a lot because you had to immediately contend with people’s reactions, you see the people that are hearing it. When you’re recording and people listen to it, you don’t know who they are and you don’t have to be there to witness it happening. [laughs] The pressure is off in that way, they process it truthfully on their own. But you’re playing a show, people are processing right before your eyes. It’s hard to not wonder how you’re doing based on the facial expressions of people that are seeing you. But, it’s gotten easier. We’ve played over a hundred shows now and it’s gotten easier.

So, you’re opening for Father John Misty at Canalside; do you prefer opening or headlining?

I really like headlining, but not for the reason you’d probably think. I just don’t like playing for people that don’t necessarily want to be hearing me. Like, we’ve played gigs where I just feel like I’m taking up people’s time. And it’s not usually anything the people do, people are usually very gracious, but I don’t know, it’s comforting at a headlining show that it’s OK to do your show because it’s all that anybody came to see.

Do you see any sort of parallels between you and Father John Misty’s songwriting?

We handle it differently, but I get the sense from his music that he recognizes his position. His music is always asking for something from people and it’s not necessarily easy content. He proposes this whole kind of language and situations and questions, and I always value that in artists. They make something that’s enjoyable and emotionally captivating.

Once touring for Historian is done, do you plan on going right back into the next song or are you taking a break?

Oh, there’s no breaks ever. [laughs] I’m always demoing new material, and I’m already like two albums out, know what I want to do, just because it’s impossible to stop. It would sort of silent my natural tendencies to write and record, and I just have to kind of let it happen. -DAN MCKEON DAILYPUBLIC.COM / JULY 25 - 31, 2018 / THE PUBLIC

Indeed, Pecknold tapped into something that's since become a national (argument?) conversation. And then, in one sweeping lyrical gesture, he rejects the whole snowflake-model, aspiring instead to be a man among men, a worker among workers—a bozo on the bus. “If I had an orchard,

I'd work till I'm sore” he sings during one of the tune's more hair-raising passages. No wonder, then,

Listeners have to work a little harder for the payoffs, but they're there, often at the end of a repetitious, churning groove; although still folk-based at the core, these are more like proggy, acoustic suites than simple folk songs. The parallels to be drawn between the F. Scott Fitzgerald essays (and what he was going through personally at that time) and Pecknold's dilemmas, both personal and political, are many.

CALENDAR EVENTS so he’s building his management repertoire. Everyone kinda has enough that they like to do, and I think it’s just important for the continuation of Broken Social Scene that you can flex outside of this group of individuals that are often very opinionated—because that’s what people who make music are; they’re opinionated.

That’s what makes this band the way it is.

PUBLIC APPROVED

You’ve been making music with Kevin Drew for about 20 years or so. What is that relationship like?

It ebbs and flows. We’ve had our honeymoon years, we’ve had our struggling years, we’ve had our “ok, we’re taking time off from each other years,” and I think we’re still able to pull great things out of each other. It continues to evolve—it’s like “oh, you’re crazy,” but then, “oh so am I.” We’re still grooving.

You mentioned Charles as a member of Do Make Say Think, but you’ve had some other members with very popular bands—of course Feist, but there’s also John McIntire who is in Tortoise and who has played with Broken Social Scene and produced some of your records.

God, with Feist, her and I go back way before Broken Social Scene.

For that one in particular it’s like yeah, we’re still friends and we both make music. John came out to our gig last time we played in Toronto and if Tortoise or Sea and Cake are playing in Toronto we’ll probably be out at that gig. It’s a continual nurturing of these relationships. Your friend is in time, you go out and support them.

INTERVIEW: BRENDAN CANNING OF BROKEN SOCIAL SCENE SATURDAY JULY 28 5PM / COBBLESTONE DISTRICT, / $25-$100 Canadian indie rock band, Broken Social Scene will perform on Saturday, July 28 at one of Buffalo’s most anticipated summer music festivals, Cobblestone Live, which will be held in downtown Buffalo’s Cobblestone District. The two day festival will also feature performances by an eclectic line up of bands including the Sheepdogs, Turkuaz, Aqueous, Chicano Batman, Golf Clap, and many more across three stages. In anticipation of the festival, we spoke with Brendan Canning one of the founding members of Canadian indie rock collective, Broken Social Scene. Canning, who will also DJ a set at an unofficial after party at Mohawk Place on Saturday night, talked to us about summer in his hometown of Toronto, his memories of Buffalo in the 1990s, and why he’s never going into politics.

What do you like to do in Toronto in the summer?

I just got away for a few days, which was nice, but when I’m back in Toronto I lead a pretty simple life. I walk my dog, I ride my bike, I hang out in the park. We have to live through winter and you get this gift of nice days, and when it’s not humid it’s like a blessing.

We have like 23 good days a year up here. I’m just kidding, it’s more than that, but you know what I mean.

Being from Toronto did you have much experience visiting Buffalo growing up?

My Buffalo experience started with my first band, called hHead.

The first time a couple of promoters in Buffalo, Marcel and Artie,

brought my band down to open up for the Goo Goo Dolls because they heard us on CFNY. Then we’d do gigs with Lowest of the Low and we’d do gigs on our own too. Shit, I remember some band we played with down there called Girl Pope as well. Buffalo was a good spot for us for a couple years there—from 92 to 95 I did a lot of gigs in Buffalo and had a lot of good times. Then it wasn’t until Broken Social Scene started up that I really started going down there again, although the last time I was in Buffalo I was out as a DJ opening for the Tragically Hip. Do you like doing the DJ thing?

It’s a nice side hustle. I get to kind of live out my DJ fantasy— taking control of the stereo and telling people what’s cool. That’s kinda what you want as a musician often. I’m a vinyl guy so I just pack a few bags of records and some 45s and generally make sure to have enough big jams and deep cuts to keep the audience happy.

So Broken Social Scene: Obviously your latest is Hug of Thunder, but before that it was seven years between records and there was a hiatus in there. What was that like for you?

Um, it was just a lot of random things. At that time I managed to squeak out a couple of solo efforts. I did some film scoring. I executive produced a film. I DJed my way through some of those years. I think everyone in the group had a chance to do their own things at that point. Kevin was working with the Tragically Hip or working with Gord on his solo stuff. Charles was doing Do Make Say Think stuff. Justin manages an artist up here called Harrison

You’ve been playing a lot of shows in Canada and the U.S. but there’s tension between the leaders of both countries right now, somehow, which is mind boggling.

That shit is just so dumb. We’ve spent the better part of our career traveling throughout the U.S. because that’s where our biggest audience is, that’s where we’ve made our living. We just want to, once again, nurture that and pay some respect to that, and hopefully people want to come out and see the band. You don’t want to go out and get on a big soap box every night, but sometimes it’s just like “my god, Canada and the U.S. are still fine, just FYI.” It’s like “oh fuck, what’s going on with Canada? Oh, Broken Social Scene are from there, it can’t be all bad.” But what a bizarre sequence of events that continues to happen. What can you do other than to try and live your life in a positive fashion or run for congress?

Which would be like a death wish.

So you’ve never thought about getting into the political game?

I just don’t have the dedication to run for political office, or the desire to hang out with a bunch of politicians. Or just the frustration that would ultimately come with it. It’s kind of grim when you look at it. At the same time, you don’t want the world that you know and love to be swiped out from under your feet. Our focus is to just be a band and play music that makes people feel good.

Do you get excited to play at an outdoor festival like Cobblestone Live? Is it different than playing a club gig?

Yeah. It’s summertime, you’re outdoors. There’s a certain freedom to it. I also just think music sounds good outside. So much of our lives are spent, especially up here, as we discussed, indoors. It’s like, yeah you’re outdoors at a concert. Like fuck, let’s just have some fun for a minute and not think about immigrant families getting separated or all the other bullshit that you have to read about and hear about. At the very core of it, you just want to communicate an idea and the idea is that music is supposed to be a freeing thing.

That’s our role. -CORY PERLA

REVIEW FILM

ON A ROLL DON’T WORRY, HE WON’T GET FAR ON FOOT, THE CAKEMAKER

BY M. FAUST ONCE SEEN, THE cartoons of John Callahan are not easily

forgotten. I remember the first one I ever saw, published in a disreputable magazine I will never admit to having read. (They kept copies at a place I once worked.) In what appeared to be the unsteady scrawl of an untrained amateur, the wordless image imagined a very specific personal hygiene difficulty that might be encountered by someone with hooks instead of hands. (You can imagine the rest—or better yet, not.)

What I didn’t know at the time was that Callahan’s shaky drawing style was not the result of a lack of skill, but rather the fact that he was quadriplegic. His spine was severed in a car accident in 1971, leaving him unable to walk and with only minimal use of his hands. People like him were often the subject of his cartoons, including the one that gives this film biography its title: As a cowboy posse looks at an overturned wheelchair, their leader says, “Don’t worry, he won’t get far on foot.”

Once you got use to him, Callahan was a better draftsman than he initially appeared, just one whose skills were not in fashion in the era when he got started. (You might say the same thing about James Thurber or William Steig.) His disability gave him license for his perspective, which found pitch-black humor in the struggles of the dispossessed of the world, but even those who knew his situation often felt that he went over the line.

And of course he did: If anyone told him there was a place a cartoonist shouldn’t go, he would head there as fast as his motorized wheelchair could take him.

Before his death in 2010, Callahan had spent some years with his Portland neighbor Gus van Sant adapting his 1989 autobiography into a screenplay, in which both hoped Robin Williams would star. Of course that didn’t happen, but it’s hard to believe that Joaquin Phoenix wasn’t the best choice for the role. It’s a performance that makes you wonder why the film’s distributor didn’t wait until awards season to release it, as it’s the kind of thing that makes Oscar voters swoon.

Truth be told, van Sant may have been thinking the same thing.

It’s been a decade since he last directed a film that got any wide attention, 2008’s Milk. In the interim he made a pair of poorly

received features (Promised Land, Sea of Trees) and not much else.

The final script for Don’t Worry… focuses on Callahan’s struggles with alcoholism, from which he suffered since he was a teenager until he stopped drinking seven years after his accident.

This is clearly one of van Sant’s mainstream projects, though not without a certain amount of directorial flair. The story drifts almost imperceptibly between different eras in Callahan’s life, charting his progress emotionally more than chronologically.

It’s effective if somewhat confusing, and one wonders if it wasn’t primarily a way of the director maintaining his interest in a fairly conventional story. He seems much more interested in the character of Donnie, Callahan’s AA sponsor, played by an unrecognizable Jonah Hill. I don’t know how much of the character is real and how much an invention, but you can sense van Sant’s occasional desire to forget about Callahan and follow this guy instead.

BEARING AWARDS AND nominations from more than a dozen

international film festivals, the German/Israeli co-production The Cakemaker is a movie of subtle, melancholy pleasures. Its title figure is Thomas (Tim Kalkhof ), first seen working the counter at a Berlin café. He falls in love with a married Israeli businessman, Oren (Roy Miller), whose job regularly takes him to Germany.

When Oren dies in an accident, the distraught Thomas goes to Jerusalem in order to—well, he doesn’t really know. Visiting the places that were important to the man he loved, he comes to know his wife, Anat (Sarah Adler), and to take a job at the café she runs. The developing relationship between them is wholly believable, which is not the same thing as plausible, as is the film’s sense of the places where it takes place and the factors that affect its characters. The less said about it the better: If you get a chance P to see it, I doubt you will regret it.

what is the infringement festival?

The Infringement Festival is an interdisciplinary festival open to all artists.

To avoid being co-opted, the Infringement Festival follows a mandate that looks like this:

Celebrating freedom of expression and designed as a real arts democracy, this festival is a critical response to the oppressive neoliberal worldview and all of its billboard trucks, televisions, flyers, advertisements, jingles, made-for-TV wars, and the depoliticisation of people through this diversionary spectacle.

1. The infringement festival is free for all artists and activists to participate in. The festival will never charge a registration fee and participants will keep 100% of their box office profits.

The Infringement Festival welcomes a variety of cultural resistance: theater groups, performers, street activism, political theater, musicians, radical performance, visual artists, films, marginalized arts, spoken-word, puppet shows, disadvantaged groups, and anyone wishing to artistically infringe on the monoculture that creeps into every corner of our lives. The festival aims to emphasize both exploratory practice in the arts, and artistic practice in activism. It also aims to provide a positive environment that encourages and nurtures critical art.

2. The festival is open to all critical artists and will never discriminate, set entry criteria or censor.

3. The festival is run as a non-hierarchical arts democracy.

4. The festival will only accept ethical companies that pose no conflict of interest as sponsors, as the interests of the festival’s participants come before those of the sponsors.

5. The festival will encourage, although not be limited to, progressive acts that encourage discussion and oppose oppressive structures.
