SUMMARY:CHROME CITY 2: No\, New York
DESCRIPTION:a prep and a primer\, re: CHROME CITY. From the Files of Lexcorp.. CC’d Weyland-Yutani\, Cyberdyne Systems\, Ltd.\, Tyrell Corporation\, LLC. \nChrome City in general is an attempt to create new forms of art from the ethereal husks\, the ozone laced residue of the retro-future\, and to stitch new works\, new possibilities from the light lines streaking off time warping deloreans. It’s not just a “retro party”; the intention is to create something new while acknowledging everything that made us who we are.\nChrome City 2: No\, New York\, is both a conscious effort to vibrate away from the stagnancy of relying on Big Brother to validate us (in more ways than one\, this time specifically New York City and it’s relationship to Philly\, as well as in an Orwellian sense–see what i did there?) So\, we’re saying “NO” to New York\, but we’re also bigging up; we can’t front: the pre-Guiliani graffiti scrawl of a gang ridden late ’70s and ’80s NYC is ultimately enticing. Besides\, “No New York” is the name of a seminal no wave compilation that informs much of the underground today. But aside from a raw play on words\, we’re looking to bridge the ever widening gap of the forward movements that took place downtown from 1977 to 1984– go-go boys\, voguers\, bboys\, art fags\, drag queens all clash with the mandroids\, bio-morphs\, replikants and blade runners alike– to the post internet everything world of today. Is it possible to simultaneously dis something and pay homage to it? Pour in those 1.21 gigawatts of ill base\, no wave noise\, and insurrectionist afterfuture cyber speak\, then hop in the delorean and find out. \n1love \nNo bands. \nSWARM\n***emissary work\, elegaic work ship*** \nPINK WASH\n***tachyon tactile technician\, tetrazoid program*** \nXXXTIAN BEAUTY\n***electric riot control\, banjee intellect \, hardwire woke work** \nNo djs. \nNOLITA SELECTOR\nJOHN MORRISON\n***control room plus*** \nPANOPTIC NERVE\n***synesthetic sorcery\, sun sun eye control*** \nNo hosts. \nICON EBONY FIERCE\nALEXOTERIC \nNo guides.\nMETROPOLARITY

SUMMARY:CANARIES group show at Cleopatra's w/Maggie Eighteen
DESCRIPTION:Canaries is a support group of women artists in New York City living and working with autoimmune conditions. Together they navigate the misconceptions around autoimmunity and the rising autoimmune epidemic. Through their conversations and work\, the Canaries confront the epistemological shortcomings of a culture that insists on the duality of mind and body. Moving between the realm of the healthy and the realm of the sick\, they seek to carve out a new site from which to understand identity formation in today’s world.\nCleopatra’s is pleased to present Canaries\, a multimedia group exhibition that investigates healing\, survival and the scarcity of language around these issues. \nFEATURING THE CANARIES\nJesse Cohen\, Marley Freeman\, Christine Kelly\, Carolyn Lazard\, Molly Lowe\, Victoria Vreeland\, Rebecca Watson Horn\n\nWITH PRESENTATIONS BY\nDanyel M Ferrari\, Saralee Gallien and Roxanne Baker\, Maggie Eighteen  \nOpening\, November 16\, 5:00 – 7:00PM\nNovember 17 – December 22\, 2014\nThe schedule of events will be updated often on their website: http://cleopatras.us\n \n\nCanaries\n\n“When we speak of the outside\, we are considering only half of the whole”\n-Jung.\, Memories\, Dreams\, Reflections
