Die vorübergehende Show

Was passiert nach dem Fight Club? Just received two incredible books from the most dearest, smartest women working in the arts today--Legend´s legend Bibbe Hansen and consumate artiste Karen Lofgren aka Kara Hunger.

Bibbe I have known for most of my life in Los Angeles. We have collaborated on numerous projects together along with her young Chicano artist husband Sean Carrillo. Bibbe´s Factory Poems edited by Sean Carrillo and Dagon James features stunning photographs by Bobby Grossman, Dagon James, Billy Name and Kate Simon and is not only beautifully written but sumpteous to hold in ones hand. Published by the Waverly Press this brilliant tome is incandescent, and really shows the world the majesty that is Bibbe Hansen and her wonderous gifts of the spirit. I don´t want to say too much as you need to experience the joy of Bibbe´s writing for yourself.

With Karen Lofgren´s EMBRUJADA-Charms for the Living this is an artist book for artists everywhere and anyone else who can´t help but devour life. Ms. Lofgren is the contemporary extemporaneous sculptural procuress of the divine in all its ecological and biological unmitigated breathy realness. Annotated works, scribbles and conversations abound with the sacred and the profane. Karen Lofgren is a Los Angeles based Canadian artist who I have personally known since she was a student at California Institute of the Arts in Valencia, California and I have been working and collaborating with ever since.

 

Knackärsche bekommen einen Kick, wenn sie hart zugeknallt werden

The Berlin based prophetess extrodinaire Bleach, is a shining light in the heavenly firmament of performance at a crossroads. Was fortunate enough to attend a late afternoon outdoor assembly at the fabled Schokoladen Fabric Squat on Kathy Ackerstrasse in Mitte where punque rawk sanity still rules suprema.

Our Baby Jayne County of the Living Flem-Bleach and her tireless cohorts provide the antitoxin to rapid gentrifications and the outgrowth of the economic system of Neu Feudalismus which has replaced danger capitalism/advanced capitalism.

Bleach solidifies the girly art gang banger contingent as a rare precious gift and alloy to humanity, rocking out with all their many cocks out in rigid display with she wolf titten readyness for nursing Milka Magnesium style.

Headliners Eat Lipstick with riotous lead singer Aneeda Dwink who reminded me of Dukey Flyswatter of Haunted Garage fame crossed with Ginger E. Coyote of the White Trash Debutantes with a bit of the late, great Gods Girlfriend on the side. Eat Lipstick is heavy in schtick with their music having a glam/classic/blues rock base to propel a wonderous mix of Music Hall humour and expert musicale nervosa drive.

The sultry sounds of Lemongrab that mixed power pop with helio barrelhouse as their beautiful Sue Tissue of the Suburban Lawns like vocalist caused the Syren call of arms to shantytown sailors ready to meet their doom.

Ms. Bleach who like showgirls Madonna and Cher only needs one name, and what a name it is with her explosive sexually charged rhythm section Punx N Kweens helping to bring about a much needed Apo-calypso NoW!

Bettklinken, Sitzungssäle und Besenstiele – ein bittersüßes Gebräu.

Yesticles, yesticles and more yesticles, Clemente Del Vecchio is the youngest billionaire in the world, but the latest rumours of the wealthy 21 year old urchin having a romantic vestment in 64 year old hagatha Vaginal Davis is ludicrous--pure tabloid hyperbole. The two have only met once, and Mr. Del Vecchio has his hairy eyeballs focused on the elderly divas art work. Madame Davis´ current solo exhibition is breaking house records at the Gropius Bau Museum in Berlin. Over 25,000 paid guests have seen the seven installations that make up Fabelhaftes Produkt aka Magnificent Product since the exhibit opened March 21st. Also vying for a piece of the Davis art ouvre is the other youthquaking billionaire, 19 year old Johannes von Baumbach the teutonic pharma heir. The awful grubby truth is always much stranger than friction.

Cynthia Carr´s book Candy Darling Dreamer, Icon, Superstar is extroidinary. While reading I´m alternating crying hysterically and laughing uncontrollably--now only standout writing can accomplish that. No wonder the book has won the National Book Critics Circle Award for Biography. The book has everything that makes a tome pop, there is gossip, meticulous research and writing that you can´t put down. I didn´t want the book to end --its that fantastic. I encourage all devotees of great writing to also read her book Fire in the Belly: The Life and Times of David Wojnarowicz and On Edge: Performance at the End of the Twentieth Century. You can start there but then you have to read everything she has written.

Had to re-read Jamie XiuXiu Stewart´s Anything That Moves. Its even better the second time around just like the Shalimar song featuring Jody Watley. Jamie is the real Let´s Make a Deal Leonard McCoy/Ed McMahon guest host heartbeat of music and life partnering. There is no one more juicy then Jamie Stewart.

Was sent a digital screener copy of the Manu Rios Spanish medical melodrama Respira. It ain´t Paddy Chayefsky`s The Hospital but whose eating Gilbert Gottfried Grape when Mr. Rios of the Pierre Clèmenti lush lips and taunt titten gets a well deserved close-up. I can report that these young doctors in love are just like the Dr. Kildare´s I have met: chain smoking, cocaine snorting, booty busters who never met a condominium they liked and used on even a semi regular Medical Center starring Chad Everett / Trapper John MD with Pernell Roberts, Gregory Harrison, Christopher Norris, Madge Sinclair, Brian Stokes Mitchell./Marcus Welby basis.

Matt Lambert the lovesexy French fashion photographer and filmmaker has become Berlin´s premiere event planner and producer along with his juicy German husband Jannis. The hotsy totsy pair brought volume five in their series to the Volksbühne for a Sunday Church Service and Going to High Falutin Meeting Special par excellante. Co-curating was the Turkish scholar and video maker Emre Busse, and let me tell you it was a memorable evening of lofty sensuous hijinkx that brought me back decades to the heyday of porno cinema excursions in Hollywood proper like the Century Theater on Normandie at Hollywood Blvd, Santa Monica Blvd´s Tom Kat Theater  (not to be confused with Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes) New York´s famed 42nd Street Gay Blue Movie Emporiums, some which featured floor shows of Puerto Rican chorus boys doing helicopters with their peni and ending each evenings performance with choreographed ejaculations into the audience. Now that´s what I call entertainment.

Not to be outdone but the Volksbühner came alive with a gorgeous SRO crowd of the creme de la creme of Berlin high society hooting and hollering to the greats like Bijou Classix, Rebecca More´s Cock Destroyers (2017), Michelle Handelman´s Homophobia is Known to Cause Nightmares (1989), prissy William E. Jones´ The Fall of Communism as Seen in Gay Pornography (1998), the hilarious The Visit by Jan Soldat featuring two very wise elderly German women philosophers (2015) and Döner für Sex (2005).

The Programs highlights being Annie Sprinkle´s Herstory of Porn(1973) and Sluts and Goddesses which features the always fearless sexpert Trash and the enigmatic Chris Teen Martin(Super 8 1/2, Three Faces of Women). I go way back with Miss Annie who continues in her brilliant creative tradition along with current partner Beth Stephens. Trash and Chris Teen have been adored on both the West and East Coast with Chris whose older sister Anne Marie Martin use to be married to the late Michael Crichton(The Andromeda Strain, Coma, Jurassic Park).

Of course the curators Mr. Busse with his The Man Who Perceives All (2024) which is sci-fi Batailles deluze adaise and M. Lambert and his sexually gifted youngsters in Klappe (2022) had to get in on the act, and this is a case where more is more was very much appreciated with the proceedings ending nicely with a combined video and live performance by the super post porn Glee style group The A-Rousers.

Pornucopia and high school musical theater --who could ask for anything more then music and rhythm. I got rhythm!
