“The Day Job” at the Tank

Here is the information about the Group Show and Party this Sat night in Time Square. I will have a bunch of work up. About 20 new prints I’ve made for me, as well as a ton of recent work I’ve shot for the NY Post. I’m real curious to see these two totally different breeds of work combined together on one wall. (What I have made for the day job vs. what I have made for myself). Also, if I have photographed you in the past year, there is a chance you will be hanging on the wall. Come on Over. Drink some booze, peek at pictures, some paintings, live music, and buy some little $2-10 mystery goodies if you please.

The Day Job: An Art and Live Music Event
Saturday, March 27, 2004
7PM to 12 midnight
$5 admission

The Tank
432 West 42nd Street, between 9th and 10th Avenues
New York, NY

The Day Job features 13 artists, musicians, and DJ’s for one day only. You can expect installations, painting, photography, video, performance, affordable art, and live electronic music and DJs. We will be showcasing artists who support themselves with a day job. The business of the art world fosters a separation between ones’ creative endeavors and the ways in which they are funded. We find there’s an interesting disparity between the unacknowledged dirty secret of a day job and the influence it has on ones artwork.

Artists: Lisa Bennett, Virgil Wong, Alex Confer, Sarah Small, Jeff Stark, Liz Tascio, Barbra Walker, and Jennifer Sanchez.
Live musicians and performers: Charles Cohen, Glomag, Jon Keith Brunelle, Velapene Screen, and DJ Kevin.

My choir, Yasna Voices, is singing in collaboration with Asuli, another small Brooklyn-based Women’s Vocal Ensemble, at BAMcafe this Saturday night, March 13th at 9:30pm. I am oh so excited about all this and you will be too if you enjoy harmony as much as we do! Please join us for the beginning of your Saturday evening! And come say hi afterwards.

“Love and Loss: Songs From the Black Sea to the Irish Sea”

In the spirit of  Women’s History Month and a unique Balkan tradition to coax Spring into staying, two Balkan women’s choirs unite on Saturday, March 13 at BAMcafé Live to perform songs from such diverse musical traditions as Georgian, Bulgarian, and Irish.  Asuli and Yasna Voices, Brooklyn-based, all female a Capella groups, will present a haunting evening of old-world women’s songs that transport, heal, and unite. Asuli mines the complex vocal polyphony of the Republic of Georgia as well as folk songs from Ireland, Canada, and the Balkans. Yasna Voices specializes in the traditional repertoire of Bulgarian women’s choirs, with its transfixing raw emotional power and close-knit harmonies. Through the power of harmony, Asuli and Yasna Voices hope both to honor women’s history and arts this month, as well as to welcome Spring-after what most New Yorkers would agree has been a long winter. In Bulgaria, the month of March is associated with a temperamental old woman known as Baba Marta. Her mood determines the beginning of Spring: if she is in good humor, the weather will turn mild; if she is angry, Winter will remain for a few more weeks.  Rituals, such as performing and listening to music, can put Baba Marta in the right frame of mind-and just might help speed winter on its way and ensure a warm, early Spring.

BAMcafé is Brooklyn’s hotspot for eclectic music and spoken word on Friday and Saturday nights. This weekly performance series has featured emerging jazz, spoken word, blues, Afro-pop, Latin, R&B, rock, and experimental artists.
