Geil und charmant

During the finnessage CHEAP Kollektiv performance The Word Falls, for the closing exhibition of Gropius Bau´s Fabelhaftes Produkt during Berlin Art Week a Latin American filmmaker and girlfriend of the diva Vaginal Davis told her that a slattern looking woman resembling La Llorona, but dressed in natty black clothing with long dreadlocks was snapping fotos and floating about the event like an apparition. Ms. Davis was so heavily concentrating in staying in character she didn´t even notice the large audience in attendance. Some people had to be turned away as the huge atrium space went beyond capacity.

Vaginal Davis dressed all in white robes was wearing a huge headress that was weighing her neck and shoulders down She was in excruciating pain during and after the performance ritual.

The Fearless Leader of CHEAP, La Susanne Sachsse masterfully directed the performance as well as performing on a sculptural swing, aided and abetted by film historian Marcuse Siegelstein, Daniel Hendrickson, Christian Fritzenwanker who supervised the makeup, costumes, aesthetic&conceptual design with assist by Janette Peters, Martin Siemann-lighting director, Boris Wilsdorf-sound, Pola Sieverding-Live Video, Richard Gabriel & Nele Ruckelshausen-akshunist wrestling, XiuXiu-additional music and Tyme Khleifi who performed and was the curatorial assistant.

The project was a collaboration with the celebrated Jewish conductor and musicologist Michael Barenboim and the Nasme´Ensemble featuring Bakr Khleifi on oud. The musicians in the ensemble are all radiantly gorgeous students and graduates of the Barenboim-Said Akademy from different regions of Palestine dedicated to playing both European chamber music and a repertoire from Palestine. CHEAP, The Word Falls was curated by Nora-Swantje Almes of Live Program and Outreach with Edessa Malke and Savannah Thümler.

The Word Falls, a fog of denial, horn speakers, music, poetry, ethics and the letter of the law. Who could ask for anything more?

eine solch sympathische Konkubine, immer bereit für eine gefährliche Verschlingung.

So delighted to receive a copy of Bad Gays-A Homosexual History by the enigmatic writing team of Huw Lemmey (very patrician sounding moniker) and Ben Miller, Board President of the Schwules Museum in Berlin and frequent contributor to The New York Times/International Herald Tribune and other prescient periodicals.

Once you start reading this engaging tome, you won´t want to put it down until you are finished with it, then you will find yourself reading it again just in case you missed something. That is my personal criteria for an exceptional book. With chapters on Hadrian, Yukio Mishima and my fav Margaret Mead who the late scholar Jose Munoz called the Grand Duchess of inappropriate, self importance and grift.

There is also an award winning podcast called Bad Gays that you must subscribe to NOW!

One of this centuries most gifted fine artistes is the Canadian born, Los Angeles based Karen Lofgren. Of her many and varied talents she also creates specialty jewelry that is mind altering. She sent me a Silver Bobcat ring which I just adore. Her sculptural jewelry pieces remind me of the work of the late great jewelry designer Lee Brevard who crafted exquisite items especially for Michele Lamy and Elizabeth Taylor. Go to Karen´s website at www.Karenlofgren.net or find her on Instagram. One must support this kind of juicy talent.

Slurp Ranch Dressing-That crazed romantic crooner Ms. Glen Meadmore has a new EP available on CD or iTunes called Loose Hole Lucy and it´s a reworking of some of his older ouvre from his firsts albums of kuntry electronics like Do Me Baby, Girlene, Lovin´ in My Oven and No Money, No Honey, plus Loose Hole Lucy which is a brand new original song and Slurp Ramp as a mythopoetic union for longing lasts longer. Lady Meadmore is a very dear and talented lady and one of the Vaginal Davis Dolls oldest comrades in arms. Glen doesn´t get enough credit for his songwriting, guitar playing, arranging and wonderful singing style.

Glen Meadmore´s latest musical offering is a queer cowpunk gem from one of the true blue talents of the last two centuries.

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.
