| | OTO Presents SOAP BOX OPERA WORKSHOP by Artists Meeting A one night event @ Over The Opening (OTO) Saturday, April 18, 2009 7:00pm - 10:00pm 60 North 6th, 2nd floor Williamsburg Brooklyn SOAP BOX OPERA WORKSHOP is a project developed by the collective Artists Meeting. Honing in on the dramaturgy of theory, the group has adapted excerpts from a variety of scholarly and art-theory-based texts from different eras and genres to a “Soap Opera” filmic format whereby plots are reduced to one liners, drama is played out in an exaggerated manner and scenes rely on emotional turmoil and ambiguity to capture the distracted viewer. Project Curators: James Andrews, Raphaele Shirley, Olga Lysenko Excerpts of Arthur Rimbaud, Jacques Derrida, Michel Foucault and Andy Warhol directed by Raphaele Shirley Excerpts of Guy Debord and Ted Kaczynski directed by Lee Wells Featuring performances by Caraid O’Brien, Edita Zulic, Aaron Beall, Randolph Curtis Rand, George Spaeth, G.H. Hovagimyan, Lee Wells Special Thanks to: MTAA, Gia Forakis, Lanna Joffrey, G.H. Hovagimyan FOR MORE INFO CLICK HERE | |

ONE NIGHT STAND : ANONYMOUS ART SHOW @ ENVOY GALLERY |
 | ONE NIGHT STAND : ANONYMOUS ART SHOW
What would do if you could do anything you wanted and knew you could get away with it? 20 artists from New York, London, and Rome, working in a variety of media were posed this same question. They were asked to make works in which they banished self-censorship and were encouraged to make art that provokes, annoys, and insights outrage. By wearing the mask of anonymity they could put any feelings of consequence aside. The artists, in turn, made works that confronted racism, homophobia, unpatriotic acts, and the sexually taboo. Saturday April 11, 2009 at Envoy Enterprises for this one night show. Gallery open between 12pm - 8pm Opening reception 6pm - 8pm with performance by Tough Slutting at 8 pm at Home Sweet Home (directly bellow the gallery)
After party and continued fun at HOME SWEET HOME until 4 am
