MMMW-Bushwick Open Studios

This installment of Bushwick Open Studios I will be participating with 5 other artist in a group show titled MMMW. I am doing an installation in an outdoor area that will be accompanied by a new video and a live soundtrack performance. The installation and performance is inspired and created around the phenomenon of second life weddings. Second life weddings have started being used to help couples recreate and archive their memories in a cgi format. examples can be seen hereAmiah and bigdaddyfr33k's Wedding - March 26, 2011

MMMW PRESS RELEASE-
With reference to an anonymous Craigslist post, the title MMMW preludes the curatorial motivation for the exhibition. With consideration for the diverse range of content, the relation of these- and many young artists- to exhibition platforms and public presence, is experienced incidentally through the Internet. Blog updates, RSS feeds, mailing lists, Facebook events, webzines, all contribute to a haphazard, by-the-bye administration of "Art We See." Of course, this is not news- just a modest predication for an NSA one-night-stand.

Videos on the Front
June 3, 2011

On June 3rd INTERSTATE PROJECTS presented its first public video screening, Videos on the Front, held in conjunction with the first night of Bushwick Open Studios, and coinciding with the opening of the group show Composite Factor.

23 videos by a wide range of artists were projected onto a steel wall across the street from the gallery at the corner of Grattan St. and Bogart St. (local lore states this is a Gotti family front, hence the name, Videos on the Front).

Joe Jagos presents
Reading and Performances inspired by David Wojnarowicz
April 7, 2011
6:30 - 8:30pm

I have been given the opportunity to perform and read some of David's writings stemmed from a combined effort between PPOW (David's Estate) and myself. During his most recent show at PPOW titled 'Spirituality Works' March 5th- April 9th 2011, I have curated a night of readings done by myself along with assistance on covers of David's band '3 Teens Kill 4'. I formulated this in response to the National Portrait Gallery's censoring of 'A Fire in my Belly'. Below is PPOW's write up.

'The Collectors' influence on what the museum shows continues this process secretly with behind-the-scenes manipulations of curators and money. Jesse Helms, at the very least makes public his attacks on freedom; the collectors and museums responsible for censorship make theirs at elegant private parties or from the confines of their self created closets." -David Wojnarowicz 'Close to the Knives: A Memoir of Disintegration'

In response to the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery's censorship of an re-edited version of David Wojnarowicz' A Fire in My Belly, Joe Jagos has organized a one night event to highlight David's prophetic statements on the issues of censorship as well as Wojnarowicz' influence to younger artists in music, art and politics.

Part one will be Jagos reading three excerpts that highlight the focus of David's writings; Censorship, Separation, HIV, and Homophobia. Part two of the performance will have a group of five musicians performing an interpretation of the music of 3 Teens Kill 4, a band David was a member of. These performances will be accompanied by projections of clips from the films and video; A Fire in my Belly, ITSOFOMO, and Silence = Death.
