The McMillan's video installation, What Stands Between Us and the Sun

I Am Curious Remix
As part of Aurora Picture Show's Media Archaeology festival, PBL will go to the Heights Theater in Houston this Friday, September 17th to reminisce about arsons past with a live cinema performance. You could think of it as a seance for a controversial movie, or a Citizen Kane-like post mortem examination of a puzzling reaction. What was this film, why did it draw fire, and did it deserve it?
In June of 1969, arsonists set fire to Houston's Heights Theater during a run of the controversial film "I am Curious (Yellow)," by Swedish writer/director, Vilgot Sjöman. Live cinema artists Potter-Belmar Labs will investigate this history within the context of late-60s Houston, taking into account the broader censorship movement of the age as well as the phenomenon of reactionary violence in our own time. Potter-Belmar's live cinema performance will center on a remix of Sjoman’s film, exploiting the kaleidoscope shape of the film in their performance. Mature content warning.

Goin' to California, part 1 - PBL at Other Cinema
SATURDAYSATURDAY
SATURDAY
May 15, 8:30 PM, $7 admission
at the ATA Gallery, 992 Valencia, San Francisco CA
Here's what Other Cinema has to say about their upcoming live cinema show:
Rolling in on the Starlight Express, Leslie Raymond and Jason Jay Stevens are back again in our live-cinema lab with another completely new A/V performance. The couple creates a real-time mix of improvised cinema, manipulating audio and video, weaving sampled media and original work, cut-up and stitched back together on the fly. It's been called "the storytelling of the future." We are honored to host them as they move up the West Coast, returning by popular demand! Opening the show is a half-hr. ensemble of old and new works, hot off the hard drive of our English ally Vicki Bennett (People Like Us), another practitioner of cut-and-paste collage, where found footage is re-contextualized with a Surrealistic edge. Vicki is posting her greatest hits, plus these three debuts: Parade, Skewed Gardens, and an exclusive mini-marvel for OC!
21st Century Psychedelic, PBL performance at San Antonio Museum of Art
Potter-Belmar Labs brings the psychedelic light shows of the 60s to the Post-Modern age with this live performance of moving image and sound, utilizing laptops and other electronics. Collaborating since 1999, artists Leslie Raymond and Jason Jay Stevens have performed live cinema across North America, in addition to exhibiting interactive installation art and single-channel experimental video. In keeping with the flavor of the Psychedelic show, PBL will perform their handcrafted audiovisual hallucinations, offering colorful optical fantasies and intriguing sound sensations.
Colloquium Blog
The Colloquium is a roving series of artist talks, each with its own roster of a half dozen San Antonio-area artists from a wide range of media, backgrounds and ages, and always at a rapid pace--like a peecha kucha for the arts, complete with slideshows and a little bit of high octane cross examination by the audience.
We have a new site for The Colloquium, with records of past events and announcements of new ones. Visit!

"... real-time mixing of images and sound for an audience, where the sounds and images no longer exist in a fixed and finished form but evolve as they occur, and the artist's role becomes performative..." Holly Willis (Afterimage Vol 37, No 1, p. 11)

PBL journeys forth to the northern tundra
On Friday the 22nd at 7:30 PM, they'll bring their live cinema performance to Art of This, crowned "Best Art Gallery of 2009" by Minneapolis City Pages.
Then Saturday the 23rd at 1 PM, they'll perform on Medicine Lake (yes, on) as part of the Art Shanty Project, specifically as guests inside the Fanta Shanty. This is PBL's half of a bargain struck with the Art Shanty folks, in which PBL dared them to participate in Contemporary Art Month. Art Shanty director David Pittman & artist Stephen Rife came to San Antonio in July 2008 and sweat up a storm putting on a couple outdoor video screenings and a pyrotechnic performance... so now it's PBL's turn to go up there and freeze their butts off bringing live cinema where few dare step: the middle of a lake.
2010 Exhibition at Fl!ght
New video art from Leslie Raymond, and a recent sound sculpture by Jason Jay Stevens are on exhibit at Justin Parr's Flight Gallery in San Antonio, as part of the "2010" group show. Other exhibitors include Beto Gonzales, Andy Benavides, Joe DelaCruz, Vanessa Centeno, Kelly O'Connor, Jeremiah Teutsch, Sarah Stevens, Thomas Cummins, Kimberly Aubuchon, Raygun Johns, Jake Harper, Jung Hee Mun, Daniel Saldaña, Shaun Jarvis, Thomas Cummins, Hills Snyder, Kendra Curry, Chris Tracy, and Christine Catsifas.
Idea Fund
