Muskel-Twink, der einen falschen Penis reitet

Muskel-Twink, der einen falschen Penis reitet

Tonight if you can handle the heatwave tune in to the monthly Kollektiv CHEAP Radio broadcast on Reboot FM, CHEAP Funk. Tonight 7:30-8:30pm its CHEAP Palestina - Freies Künstlerradio aus Berlin - Kunst, Diskurs & elektronische Musik. Live aus dem ACUD - UKW 88,4
MHz in Berlin & 90,7 MHz in Potsdam.
This little note from one of my dear ex British students:

Exhibition
Today, Undertow, a group exhibition I am in, opens at the Freelands Foundation. If you are visiting London you can visit in person, or you can click here to see a virtual tour of the show. I am showing 4 small traced paintings and a video.

On Saturday 26th June, I shall be doing a short performance with my work. Numbers are very limited (I can have an audience of 5!), but do let me know if you would like to be there. Otherwise, a recording will be available online.

About the performance:

To Embody Power is ostensibly a talk in which the artist explains the ideas, source material and editing decisions behind her new video work, Modernity/Power (2021).

Over the duration of the performance, the formality and staging of the event are punctured by the artist’s actions which becoming increasingly erratic. Carr becomes more concerned with responding to the material in the video, disavowing the enforced stricture of the talk format and becoming absorbed with her own playful forms of embodiment and voice.

DYCP
I’m looking forward to getting started on some collaboration and networking activities over the next year, thanks to funding from the last round of Developing Your Creative Practice grants awarded by Arts Council England. I’ll be using this to start research for new work at the Midland Hotel and rethinking some of the ways I work. I’m feeling very grateful to ACE for this opportunity.

Studio
I moved into Exchange Place Studios at the end of 2019 and made use of the lockdowns by painting the walls and floor so I really love it in there now. Do drop me a line if you ever want to come by. I have a kettle and teabags!

Artist Support Pledge
In 2020 I cultivated a new relation to my studio practice and I made use of the Artist Support Pledge, mainly on Instagram. The Pledge (started by Matthew Burrows) involves artists posting images of their work to sell for no more than £200. And for each time you reach £1000 of sales you pledge to buy another artist’s work for £200. This has really sustained my practice and given me new ways to enjoy sharing what I do on social media.

Many thanks to friends and supporters who’ve maintained and even extended our usual ways of communicating, over social media and online—developing a deeper sense of community over the last year has been really nurturing.

I envisage sending out newsletters a little more frequently so if not of interest to you do feel free to unsubscribe.

Best wishes,
Allie

JOUR 2 : programme "Corps, Travail, Droits, Représentations", en collaboration avec le Centre Grisélidis Réal de documentation internationale sur la prostitution (CGR) -Aspasie, avec le soutien du Centre Maurice Chalumeau en sciences des sexualités (CMCCS), de la Haute école d'art et de design de Genève - HEAD et de la Fondation Emilie Gourd.
------------------
Prenant pour point de départ le concept de Gaze, désignant les représentations du monde depuis des perspectives de vision spécifique, Romy et Marianne déploient un manifeste porn et radical autour de la définition d’un « Sex worker Gaze ». Au cours de ce cheminement réflexif, autobiographique et performatif, elles s’attardent sur les zones floues qui délimitent soumission aux injonctions et ré-appropriations des normes dominantes depuis leurs expériences de travailleuses du sexe.
Marianne Chargois est travailleuse du sexe, artiste et performeuse. Elle crée des évènements artistiques, féministes et politiques sur les corps et les sexualités minorisées. Elle organise entre autres depuis 2018 le SNAP, Festival dédié aux représentations des TDS.
Romy Alizée est photographe, actrice et travailleuse du sexe. Son travail aborde les enjeux de l’auto-représentation en tant qu’artiste féministe et queer dans une démarche d’empuissancement à travers la sexualité. Elle documente en photographie les communautés queer depuis plusieurs années.

I was just thinking about the British actress Joan Plowright the other day. I just adore her. She is one of my all time favourites.

Miss Evelyn Venable is taking care of herself - going to her many doctor appointments and purging free all things that don't bring the little lady absolute joy. With so many exhibitions on the event horizon its the only way to make valuable use of fleeting time. Added to the list is getting out her novel Mary Magdalene. Miss Venable's literary agent has been very understanding but one shouldn't push it.

Received a lovely email from one of my very talented Work Master HEAD students in Geneva, Loren Kagny updating all her recent accomplishments which are many and varied. Loren is one young artist you have to support!

Hands Up, Ass Out is New York-based artist Keioui Keijaun Thomas' first long-form exhibition, and the culmination of a body of work six years in the making, from 2014–2020. Amassed from iterations of writing, image-making, performances, and choreographies, Hands Up, Ass Out showcases Keioui's journey toward self-affirmed transcendence from the tokenization that exploits and oppresses young, talented, and femme black bodies.

*Executive Care is an all-encompassing agency at the service of artists founded by Shehab Awad in 2020.
