Hey Franko,
Here's your first blog comment. Any questions you have about maintaining it, go ahead and email me...Once my throat's better we can consult over the phone, right now I have to rest it though. Sorry. Anyway, this should work. I anticipate being back in full voice by sunday, probably. Take care and speak to you soon,
Nick.x

Where Art and Life Collide:
Ron Athey - Franko B - Vaginal Davis
April 28 - May 5, 2006
www.artofnightlife.net
From April 28 through May 5 2006, Ron Athey, Franko B, and Vaginal
Davis
come to New York for a series of premiere performances, lectures and
events
focusing on the unique way in which the work of all three artists
challenges
the separation between art and life.
In modern societies, the power of private experience is often filtered
through the norms of social convention and the repression of
difference. Ron
Athey, Franko B, and Vaginal Davis challenge these constraints, sharing
a
commitment to artistic practices which transcend the boundaries of
career,
or marketplace and move into the space of life, or �who they are.�
All
three artists consider themselves marginalized for reasons ranging from
race, to class, to sexuality, and have subsequently used their
involvement
in subcultural movements to develop and propel their work. As an
integral
part of their performance work, Ron Athey, Franko B, and Vaginal Davis
all
subject themselves to physical, cultural, and psychological challenges
as a
means to transform the conditions of the present, thus their work is
able to
function simultaneously as exorcism and an opportunity for healing.
Performances:
Monday, May 1, 5:00-10:00 PM
Ron Athey will premiere "Incorruptible Flesh: Dissociative Sparkle", a
durational performance.
Artists Space, 38 Greene Street, ($10)
Tuesday, May 2, 4:00 PM-Midnight
Franko B will present his first ever performance in the U.S.
"Aktion 893: Why are you here?"
One-to-one personal performances with the artist by appointment
(212-254-4334).
Participant Inc., 95 Rivington Street, ($10)
Thursday, May 4, 10:00 PM
Vaginal Davis will host a one night only revival of this 1920's themed
showstopper extravaganza of old-timey glamour as "Bricktops Takes
Manhattan," with salons, shacks and speakeasy installations built by
Future
Art Stars from the NYU Department of Art and Art Professions in
collaboration with Obie and Bessie award winning set designer Michael
Casselli. Produced by Earl Dax Presents, with performances by the DJ
Billy
Miller of Straight to Hell, John Blue, Jennifer Miller, Julie Atlas
Muz, and
Surprise Guests.
Siberia, 356 West 40th Street, ($10)
