Music from the Wisconsin Uprising (12/18/11)
Emma Goldman reportedly said "If there won't be dancing at your revolution, I'm not coming." Emma would have had plenty to dance to in Wisconsin in 2011. The Solidarity Sing Along and the Forward! Marching Band are two of the musical forces that have helped supply the soundtrack to the protests surrounding Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker and his attempts to crush union labor.Forward!

Blink! Again a Smash at Wisconsin Film Festival (04/04/11)
Thanks to all of you who came out to the Bartell Theater last Thursday for the screening of Blink! Again, The Bells of Bascom Hill and At the Table at the Wisconsin Film Festival. We had a sell-out crowd, artist Tim Browning in attendance, and a terrific discussion after the show. The Capital Times' Lindsay Christians has a nice write up in 77 Square. Christians calls Blink! Again "a love letter to (Madison's) quirky, delightful folks."We also got some good advance coverage from Wisconsin Public Television's Director's Cut. If you missed the broadcast on WPT, you can view Charles Monroe-Kane's interview with Wisconsin Film Festival director Meg Hamel and several film directors, including Blink! Again's Brian Standing online at the WPT website. We also got some nice coverage from the Badger Herald and WKOW-TV
Keep your eyes peeled for more screenings of Blink! Again around town this summer.

Blink! Again Released on DVD (11/19/10)
Prolefeed Studios is pleased to announce the DVD Release of Blink! Again: A Year in the Life of Temporary Art. If you've been to Madison in 2009, you may have seen some odd things cropping up around town. Things like:- oil derricks and dancing bears suddenly appearing on the Lake Monona ice
- a wooden gypsy caravan towed by a tandem bicycle promising "Things You'd Like to See"
- a bagpiper playing in the middle of John Nolen Drive UNDER the Monona Terrace
- hundreds of surveyors' flags depicting assorted flowers all along State Street
- photos of your friends and neighbors staring back at you along the bike path and from storefront windows
- posters asking for your help to find a lost carrion-eating beetle
- oversized peapods, giant electrical outlets and huge, mobile iron seabirds
- giant spiders, skeletons, witches and zombie Greek warriors invading the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art
Over the course of a year, veteran Madison documentarian Brian Standing (director of "Pedalphiles," "War is Sell," and "Scoop Perlman's Guide to Art," among others) followed 15 Blink! grant awardees. The result is Blink Again! A Year in the Life of Madison Temporary Art, a feature documentary that provides an intimate look into the creative process. In their own words, artists describe how they overcame (or occasionally were defeated by) balky materials, creative frustration, bureaucratic red tape, the challenge of collaborating with pre-teens and teenagers and even vandalism to create startling works that linger in the mind long after they're gone from the scene.
Blink Again! is available on DVD from Prolefeed Studios, and licensed under a Creative Commons license to allow for free redistribution, broadcast and public use. Order your copy today! ^ TOP
