| Description: | ***VERNISSAGE/SPECTACLE: Fri March 12th, 20h-1h @ Eastern Bloc (7240 Clark) RPM invites you to: "Le SpectacleExquisiteduCrapCathartique" Indulge in an evening of dazzle camouflage, sugar zeal, processed plastics, unhinged hysteria, catatonic toxic things that glow, sentimental sap, slop and trash. Consume epic proportions of nausea inducing fair food. Pogos, Coton Candy, and RPM's notorious Slush concoctions are sure to put the spin in your step. Tuck yourself into the peep corner for an intimate view of the best fresh baked goods this side of town has to offer. Let Madame Présage fortune teller to the stars traumatized you with your inevitable fated demise. Bring your inner excessive alter ego to the much more video dance floor. Cruise the carnie folk as they go about their BS business. RPM will service you to no end. Exploit the naive. Con the willing. Puke in a bucket. Too much is not enough. "Le SpectacleExquisiteduCrapCathartique", a video and performance installation; serves as a framework through which to toy with questions of how we perform queerness, insider/outsider status and identity, navigate and create space, and communicate through sub-text, code and hyperbole. Adamantly coddling the cockles of pop music, vapid culture, excessive overindulgence, and eager earnest sentimentality, RPM chooses its own adventure while reading between the lines of popular culture; poking at PC, posturing as a fake out-psyche out, and bringing it on, taking it on, adding it on, no holds barred, in order to scramble social signals and reveal ambiguous readings of fabricated liminal spaces. ***ROVER P MACHINERY: UP CLOSE & PERSONAL ARTIST TALK Sat March 13th, 16h @ Eastern Bloc (7240 Clark) Straight from his guest appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show, author of "I'm Sorry, What's Your Problem?: The Ga(y)ze of Today" and "Performing Poorly: The Art of Radical Slush," Rover P Machinery is an international interdisciplinary artist/illusionist/asshole working in such mediums as faux bling, astrological omens, power pop, sentimental exploitation and overcaffeination. Best known for his public interventions and unnecessary installations, Machinery has outwitted the most intoxicated drunk, flung cake at the hottest of horny art fags, mediated hyperbolic familial drama, and curated virtual sex parties. With a personal mantra of "too much is not enough", he has been frequently cited as the cryptic originator of "condiment art" as well as the most misunderstood artist of our generation. |
