there’s hardly a better way to start off a new year than by filling the calendar with fresh art. Here are a few choice items on my radar for the first couple months of the year.
• Jan. 10: Codename: Jenny at Pageant Theatre: A film by radical German film collective Liberated Lens, about taking the leap into activism. In response to a world of environmental destruction, endless war and the global rise of the far right, a woman and her friends decide to take action. The filmmakers will be on hand for a post-film discussion. One showing only: Thursday, Jan. 10, 7 p.m.

Madonna: Uncle Dad’s Art Collective
• Jan. 17-Feb. 20: Broken Open at 1078 Gallery: Anyone who knows Arts DEVO knows that something advertised as a “sound/word/object” show is going to pique my interest. This threeperson group exhibit explores the potential meanings behind the words “broken open” via a different medium for each artist—sound installations for Evelyn Ficarra; poems by Elise Ficarra and the ceramics of Cameron Crawford. While I can’t say I understand much of the dense show statement on the 1078 website (“in broken objects the sounds yet inhere,” “The domestic economy inherent in plates and cups,” “when the war-dragon Fafnir sleeps”), I’m nonetheless down for some experimental weirdness. Reception is Saturday, Jan. 26, 6-8 p.m.
• Jan. 18: Jonathan Richman and MaMuse: KZFR community radio presents a big-ticket fundraiser for Camp Fire relief efforts at the Chico Women’s Club. Legendary troubadour/proto-punk pioneer Jonathan Richman is joined by Chico’s favorite daughters, MaMuse, for an early evening show (doors at 6:30 p.m.), with advance tickets going for $20 at Chico Paper Co., Blaze N’ J’s, KZFR and brownpapertickets.com • Jan. 24-26: Madonna: Uncle Dad’s Art Collective: Chico Performances brings Uncle Dad’s back for another multidiscipline tribute to a musical great, Madonna Louise Ciccone. The all-local Uncle Dad’s orchestra teams up with a cast of guest musicians and other performance artists for a soundtrack that spans the Queen of Pop’s decades-long catalog. Three shows in three nights at Laxson Auditorium. • Jan. 27: Eric Bachmann: Just two months after Lou Barlow sneaked into town for a stellar intimate house show, one of his indie-rock contemporaries—the former frontman for legendary North Carolina noisemakers Archers of Loaf—is coming to a private home in Chico. Search “Eric Bachmann Living Room Show” on Facebook for info on how to buy tickets for this acoustic performance—featuring a full band—in support of his latest solo album, No Recover.

hope you will join us as we celebrate our hopes and dreams for the future. Please return to Paradise with us, opening Return to Paradise Valentine’s Day for a three-week run. A love letter to Paradise!” Perhaps the best arts news of all is that Theatre on the Ridge is planning its first post-Camp Fire show with a Paradise-themed edition of its popular Radioland musical.
